Labor Enters
New Field of
Life Insurance
Will Open Up Great Avenue for
the Investment of
Labor Funds
(By MATTHEW WOLL)
(Pres. Union Labor ms. Coz

Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany is a cooperative enterprise of
trade unions and members thereof to
pool their moneys to indemnify each
other against loss by accident, sick
ness, old age and death.
1t is primarily a corporate form of
organization whose shares of stock
are to be confined to trades unions
holders provide the initial capital and
surplus required by law as a condi-
ton precedent to entering the insur-
ance business.
1t is more difficult to organize an
insurance enterprise under the mutual
plan by reason of existing insurance
laws The stock plan enables a more
speedy collection Of necessary capi
tai and surplus. When successfully
established it may easily be converted
into a mutual form or organization.
In addition, the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company is organized on
the stock plan to safeguard and per-
petuate for all time organized labor's
control Of this insurance company.
Such control could not be guaranteed
by a mutual plan.
Where the earnings of stockholders
are limited to six per cent on their
( investment and all other profits ac
crue to the policy holders there is no
benefit or advantage in the mutual
plan-indeed, where the ownership Of
stock is widely distributed through
cut the trade union movement, the ad
vantage is in favor of the plan follow
ed by the Union Labor Life Insur
ance Company.
The Union Labor Life Insurance
Company is organized under the laws
Of the State of Maryland, and prin-
cipally so for the reason that the di
rectors of the company need not be
residents of that state, and its princi-
pal office may be located elsewhere.
The principal office of the Union
Labor Life Insurance Company is To-
Gated in the American Federation Of
Labor Building, Washington, d. C.
The Company is so organized as to
enable it to sell its stock to organized
labor and its members throughout the
North American continent, embracing
the United States, Canada and Mex
leo.
The appeal for the sale of stock is
made to all trade unions and trade
unionists in the United States and
Canada. When ready to do business
it will carry on its insurance enter

prise in all states of the United
States, all provinces in Canada and
later in Mexico.
First: Only trade unions and trade
unionists can acquire or hold stock.
Second: Stock can not be transfer
red without first giving the Union
Labor Life Insurance Company the
opportunity of purchasing such stock
at the price it was obtained.
Third: The Board of Directors, con-
sisting of "A, must always have at
least three-fourths of its members
consist of officers or representatives
Of National and International Unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
zion of Labor.
Fourth: The Advisory Committee,
consisting of fifty members, must be
selected from representative trade un
ionists affiliated with labor organic;

VI engineer laid before a gathering
of leading Chicagoans his plan for a
sixth Great Lake" which he asserts
would restore the levels of the Great
Lakes, provide for Chicagos water di-
version and develop immense hydro
electric power He would FIJI up a
large natural basin In Ontario by
damming the Albany and Ogokl rivers,
which now run into Hudson bay This
new lake would be twice the size of
Lake Ontario, A surplus Of $4,000
cubic feet a minute-twice ChicagO's
diversion from Lake Michigan-would
be delivered into Lake Superior
through a short canal to Lake Nipigon.
that lake and the Nipigon river. Mr.
Campbell says the cost is not excessive
and the project would benefit both
America and Canada, as we'll as the
entire Great Lakes region. Chicago's
water-diversion problem would be
solved. HarbOr and river dredging by
both governments and by lake ports
would be saved through restored water
levels. Ontario would get immense
water power at the Nipigon river and
a market for the pulp-wood forest in
the basin of the new lake. The cargo
capacity of lake carriers would be re
stored Increased water flow would
aid both waterway projects, Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence and Great Lakes
Gulf Altogether Mr.. Campbell thinks,
the benefits would be so large that the
interests benefited could well afford
to pay the cost of construction on some
sort Of pro rata basis.

Outlines History of
Auto Brake Lining

The perfectins of the automobile
has, generally speaking, been the
development of q more powerful
and efficient gasoline engine. IN
connection with this, there have
been many other points that de-
manded attention. BY no means the
least important was the improve
ment of brakes. The creation of
great speed in motor vehicles has al
so rendered necessary devices for
controlling this speed.
1t is necessary to start car. 1t
is equally necessary to stop ito

way
In discussing this subject. ]. A.
Sanford, Maine representative of the
Russell Manufacturing company OF
MiddletoWn, Conn.,, manufacturers OF
russo automobile products, outlined
the way in which brakes have been
brought to their present state of eff
ficiency
"When. in the early '90's Haynes
and Selden were eXperimentinge with
propelled gasoline vehicles. the
matter of brakes was of minor i'm
portance. The cars of those days
could be stopped by the driver simp-
ly placing his foot on the front

wheel. or, as happened only too fire.
quently, the cars stopped at their
own accord. In fact, it is reported
that in making his original auto
mobile, MIR. Haynes neglected to put
any brakes on at all.
"The early automobile brakes had
a metal-to-metal construction, US
ually cast iron against steel or
bronze against steel. Brakes of this
type were unsatisfactory in that
they We're exceedingly noisy and
very expensive, both for original in
stallation and replacement They
were soon discarded.
I'm the period from 1900 to 1907
the materials used for automobile
brake Innings were leather, cotton
and camePs hair. Such brakes were
much smoother in action than the
metal to metal construction, and
they served well enough for the
light, low speed cars of those days
But with the advent of four, six and
eight cylinder cars, and the result
ing increase in horsepower and
weight of automobiles. new kind
of brake lining was needed. To
stop a car weighing 5000 pounds,
travelling IS miles an hour or more
imposes severe strain on the
brake lining fabric and creates in

WATER RATES ARE
 ID BE INCREASED
Bridgeport, Fairfield and Strat-
 ford Affected

Hartford, July 29 Pp-The public utilities commission has given a de- cision favorable to the Bridgeport Hydraulic company in its petition for authority to increase its water rates in the towns of Bridgeport, Fairfield, and Stratford. Bridgeport and Fairfield reached an agreement with the petitioning company, but the town of Stratford did not be- come a party to the agreement. By the increase in rates which the com mission authorizes the revenue of the company will be increased ap- proximately a half million dollars.
 The company's expert, Nicholas S. Hill of New York, valued the company's property at s21,170,00o.
 The company claimed that legally it has a right to a seven per cent re- turn on the claimed fair value of s21,17O.000 which would amount to approximately s1,4S2,000 annually, and would require an increase in its revenue over 1925 ofSabout 100 per cent.
 At the hearing a statement was introduced showing that the net in- come of the company for four years was as follows:
 Year 1922, sS3.600; 1923, s95,300; 1924, s313,700; 1925, $267,00.
 In a statement relating to the value of the Hydraulic company's property the commission states: From the facts presented it may be assumed and is assumed and con- cluded by this commission that the fair value of the petitioners proper ty for rate making purposes is in excess of $14000, ,000."
 The commission finds no facts warranting a different rate for fire protection in Stratford than in the other communities.
 In concluding it's findings the con- mission says: The Bridgeport Fly draulic company is hereby authoriz- ed and directed to establish and put into effect said schedule of rates as it's maximum rates and charges eff fective on and after July 1, 1926, excepting the fire service charge against the town of Stratford which shall be effective on and after De- tober l, 1926.
