pany and that officers take up the
question of taking out group insur-
ance for the entire membership. The
executive council made the following
recommendation in reference to these
two related subjects:
I'VE have no hesitancy in favoring
the formation of the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company. We are
pleased to record that President Woll
is the chairman of the committee on
organization having in charge the
formation of Union Labor Life In
surance Company. We recommend
/ that the executive council be author
lied to invest such sums as may be
deemed best by it in the purchase of
stock in this proposed company and
when formed authorize it to take up
with the company the possibility of
providing group insurance to our gen
eral membership, it being the under
standing that whatever arrangement
may pS ldNOIdDly COliSlueIeu regard

A number of mines in the central
and southern Indiana coal fields have
resumed or are preparing to open
Most of these workings have beer
down FOR many weeks. A number OF
the larger mines in Sullivan county
are reported to have received sub.
stantial contracts and are enjoying a
complete revival.
Mr.. Lawton, in discussing the stu
alton in the soft coal fields of the
organized states, said that in 1902 a
condition existed similar to the one
existing now At that time the an
thracite miners were called out in a
general strike and stayed out for more
than nine months. Almost immedi-
ately the bituminous industry resum-
ed full operations, he said.
Miners Hit by Slump
Conditions in the Terre Haute field
are reported improving and more than
20 mines are working perhaps half
time or more at the present. Indiana
miners have been hard hit by the
slump in the coal industry owing to
inroads made by non-union coal from
West Virginia and Kentucky.
