INSURANCE PLAN
Is Meeting With Hearty Ap-
prOval of Trade Unions

Washington.-At a meeting of
surance Company officials reported
that nearly $250,0O0 in stock has been
subscribed by trade unions. Nearly
all of this amount is Immediately
available when called for by the COM
pany.
These subscriptions were secured
without a single letter to local unions,
unless they requested information re-
garding organized labor's latest CO.
operative venture.
The directors, who are officials of
national and international trade
unions, were amazed at the number
of applications for group and indi
vidual insurance from every section of
the country
The company was formed by rep
resentatives of A. F. of l.. affiliates
after long consideration of co-opera
tive life insurance by committee ap-
pointed by the A. F. of l.. The COM
pany will be a cooperative enterprise
for service and not for profit. Ficti-
tious or high market values will not
be created for shareholders, but the
insured will benefit by savings
through various economies.
National and international unions
are limited to 500 shares, local, city
and state bodies to 80 shares and i'm
dividual trade unionists to 10 shares.
These limitations are intended to pre-
vent any group from dominating or
controlling the company.

Chicago.-Indication are that Col
Frank l.. Smith will defeat William
B. Mckinley for the republican nomi-
nation for United States senator from
Illinois by tremendous majority.
Estimates of the majority range all
the way from 10000 to 25O,OOO. A
conservative estimate gives Colonel
Smith down-state majority of 100,-
600 and Cook county, in which Chi
cago is situated, is claimed by from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Colonel Smith is conducting a mag
niticent campaign. 1t is clean in every
respect, and he has surrounded him.
self with a highly efficient corps of
assistants, who are carrying on their
work in a quiet and workmanlike
manner. Smiths headquarters are
remarkably free from the "lunatic
fringe" which it is difficult to bar out
of vigorous campaign.
Smith on Stump for Three Months
One of the marvels of the Smith
campaign is the physical endurance of
the man. He has been constantly on
the stump for more than three months,
making numerous speeches daily, and
will have covered all of the 102 coun-
ties in the state before primary cleo
tion day, April 13. He seems to be
just as fresh as when he started
Senator Mckinley, on the other
hand, has made few speeches. He has
relied on young army of gumshoe
men and check-book argument. Nc
Kinley is credited with being the
possessor of fortune of $25, 1000, 900.
The newspapers have been publishing
stories in reference to donations which
Senator Mckinley has made to insti-
tutions of learning and to religious
and benevolent organizations since he
began his campaign for denomination.
These donations aggregate a very
large sum, and those who are wise in
the ways of politics charge that Nc
Kinley has adopted this method of
gaining support at the ballot box.
Russell Makes Money Talk
Andrew Jackson Russell, Senator
McKinley's campaign manager, is a
past master as political fixer, and
he knows all the ways in which to use
a $25, 100000 fortune for political pur-
poses. He knows how to make it
talk" but those who are politically
wise say that Artful Andrew can't
make it speak loud enough to drown

NON-UNION OPER-
ATORS DISCARD
INJURY PAY

Oklahoma City-Coal operators in
this state who have repudiated the
Jacksonville agreement, and are oper-
ating non-union have abandoned
workmen's compensation, but con-
tinue to carry insurance on their ma
chinery and their mine mules.
The recent mine disaster at Will
burton, where 90 non-union miners
lost their lives, will not cost the COM
pany one cent for compensation, as
it discontinued this insurance when it
declared for non-unionism.
More than three score coal COM
panies are operating without com
pensation and on the non-union basis.

New York.-In the Barclay-Vesey
building, the largest telephone build
ing in the world, jammed full of wires
and the most intricate devices for
handling the enormous traffic that
will eventually pass through its auto
matte switching boards, workers who
had displayed marked skill in their

MILL CHILDREN
By JOHN CURTIS UNDERWOOD

WE have forgotten how to sing: laughter is
w goddess thing: isess and loud and shri and sly
We have forgotten how to smile Our lips, voices too
are vile. We all dead before die.
Our mothers mothers made the father that
know in blindness and in wantoness
Caused to to question you What is it that
others do, that profit SO by distress?
You and your children softly sleep We and mothers
vigil keep. You cheated us Of all delight,
Ere sick spirits to birth you made fair and
fruitful earth nest of pestilence and blight.
Your black machines STILL and hard relentless
your will, they card us like the cotton waste.
And flesh blood cheap than they they seize and
eat and shred away, feed the fever of your haste
For we are waste and shoddy here who know God
faith but fear no happiness no hope but sleep.
Half mbece and half obscene sit and tend each tense
machine too sick to sgh too tired to weep
Until the tortured end of day. when fevered faces turn
away to see the stars from blackness leap

Detroit, Mich. = Addressing two
senior classes at the Michigan State
College, William Collins, organizer
for the. American Federation of La
Dor, made a strong plea for better
understanding of the modern trade
union and the problems it had to meet
in this highly developed industrial
age of the machine. The students
who heard Mr.. Collins are studying
industrial relations and management
and industrial arts.
ITO make proper approach to the
subject of trade unions" said Organ
izer Collins, "the student must keep
clearly in his mind that the trade
union is not the creature of any set
of workers, but is the direct result
of the evils that have developed with
the introduction of steam power in
industry, and factory production
Industry Takes Fearful Toll
"The present high development of
industry in the United States, through
the evolution of machinery, has been
made at fearful cost to the work
ers. Were it possible to have kept
statistics of the men and women killed
in industry during the past one hun
dred years of industrial development,
the numbers would overshadow all of
the casualties in wars waged by the
United States This does not take
into consideration the men and women
partially and totally disabled from in
juries received following their occu-
pations. A survey of the tuberculosis
sanatoriums of New York state in
1912 showed that SO per cent of the
occupants were the direct product of
sweatshop labor. The continuous
strikes and protests of organized la
Dor at last aroused sleeping public
conscience to these fearful costs and
some improvements have been made.
Here in your great state of Mich
igan is the home of our most modern
industrial development, the automo-
bile. 1t is product of the present
generation, and had no hereditary
background to tie it to old ideas of
factory operation. 1t is my under
standing that speakers from this in
dustry tell you that under the open
shop, personal management plan, and
welfare work, that the workers are
happy. The inference is also left
with you that this would continue in
definitely were it not for trade union
agitators who make their living on
strife. Let us examine this and see
what is behind this propaganda.
Human Element Ignored
''The average plan of production in
the automobile plant is fixed and the
speed set by engineers with their eye
on 100 per cent production. The
worker has no voice in this matter,
because the deductions have been bas-
ed upon machine operation. The hu-
man element has been lost sight Of in
the mad rush to produce quantities to
meet the fierce competition. The ma
chine is the master and brains of the
worker, taking away any initiative
he may posses. Because of the con-
tinuous advertising campaigns of
these automobile manufacturers
throughout the country, and the sup
posed high wages paid, continuous
stream Of workers can be seen in line
from practically every state seeking
employment.
Labor Turnover Encouraged
Originally employers complained
about the cost of labor turnover, or
what we call breaking in new men
for their jobs. Today this labor turn

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April l4.-Wheat prices
made a fresh general advance today,
but slipped back at the last. In
some quarters, the later downturn
was explained on the ground that
the oversold position of the wheat
market had been largely corrected
and thus buying power had been les
sened. Closing quotations on wheat
were irregular at &c net decline to
hc advance, May (new) $1.64@164A

Although aggressive support for
the wheat market was lacking to-
ward the end of the day no impor-
tant selling pressure, was. in evf-
dence, the unusual smallness of
stocks of wheat in Chicago being a
decided check The fact that Liver
pool quotations today made a good
response to yesterdays big rise on
this side of the Atlantic was an early
strengthening influence here and so,
too was considerably buying on the
part of previous sellers who were
short of wheat to deliver on May

NEW YORK, April IA. Thirty
stocks crashed to new low levels for
the year on the New York stock eX-
change today when heavy liquidation
of the sugar and motor shares, pre-
sumably inspired by favorable trade
reports, unsettled the general list.
The break came in the last hour of
trading during which one third of the
days total sales of slightly more
than 100000 shares took place. The
averages of 20 leading industrial
shares was carried down nearly 2
points to within LIZ points of the
years low record established last
month.
South Porto Rican sugar broke. 23
points to 96 and was followed into
new low ground by American Sugar
Refining, Cuba Cane preferred and
the other active shares in that group,
which declined 1 to nearly 8 points,
it difficult for the producing com
panies to operate at net profit and
reports of a Cuban railroad strike
were held responsible for the selling
of these issues.
The selling of the motors followed
the publication of report on one of
the financial news tickers that the
Hudson Motor Car company had laid
off 1000 men. The report subse-
quently was officially denied. Hud-
son common collapsed over points
to 61%, a new low for the year. after
having sold as high as 1884 this
