strike resulted. This was followed by
the general strike and it's disastrous
ending because of differences between
the executive council of the British
Miners Federation of Great Britain.
The former favored the acceptance of
plan offered by Sir Herbert Samuel
as basis for peace negotiations. The
miners claimed the proposal implied
wage reductions for higher paid min

After the general strike was called
off every effort was made to save the
miners strike, but this attempt failed.
Miners wages were reduced and they

day system. The former work day
was seven hours.

Addresses at Formal Opening
Of Company's Washington
Offices Breathe Pride and
Confidence in Organization

By International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-Optimism, con-
fdence and determination to succeed
were the high notes struck at the for
NAL opening at 1701-11 Connecticut
avenue of the fine new offices of the
Union Labor Life Insurance Company.
The opening, on the afternoon and
evening of June 18th attracted large
number of members and representa-
tives of international, national and To-
cal unions.
The first policy issued by the COM
pany, which has already, in few
weeks of actual business, written
more than 100000 worth of insur-
ance, was formally presented to Presi-
dent Matthew Woll, of the insurance
company, by Luther C. Steward, sec
retary and assistant secretary. Mr..
Woll, in turn, presented the second
insurance policy issued by the com
pany to President William Green, of
the American Federation of Labor.
Steward Voices Confidence
In presenting the first policy to
President Woll, Mr.. Steward express
ed his belief that the issuance of the
policy was the first formal step in one
of the greatest works ever undertaken
by the American labor movement.
President Woll responded, outlining
briefly the aims and aspirations of
the Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany. He said it was the desire of
the company officials to begin busi-
ness in every state at the earliest
possible moment
"The launching of the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company is one of
the greatest forward steps ever taken
by labor" Mr. Woll said. "It is rec
ognized everywhere that this enter
prise is bound to place the trade union
movement in the highest possible esti-
nation in public life as we'll as
strengthen the cause of organized la
Dor. This project is unique in that it
is conceived particularly to meet the
special needs of organized workers
for insurance, although it will not
overlook the needs of others
Company's Inspiring Aims
"To buttress the home, to give i'm
petus to thrift, and the relief which
comes with the assurance of protec-
tion for dependents, to organize on a
vast scale the investment power of the
worker conservatively used, to seek
to bind the workers in more solid
economic organization, to conserve
health and prolong life-what can be
greater, more inspiring than that?
THE task to which we are dedicat-
ing the Union Labor Life Insurance
Company is one no less than the con-
quest of dependency-the dependency
that follows the death of the bread
winner, from the decline of his earn
ing power in old age and from the
paralyzing hand of disability. Given
time, savings will accumulate to an
estate for use in old age. Certain
kinds of insurance, working through a
period of years, are admirably de-
signed to provide protection for old
age. But the miracle of life insurance
is that the full estate, created by few

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 5.-The
unhapipest man lis the wide, wide
world today is Tom Luther, Of this
purlieu.
And it is all because Leo PERM
cious Flynn has decided that Jack
Dempsey shall strut no more of his
stuff in public and that all work
outs henceforth shall be exceedingly
private.
All of which means that Luther,
who owns the open-air tent where
Dempsey weaves and hobs and
sings punches hither and yon, will
lose something IN the neighborhoOd
of $4,000 to $4,000, in prospective
profits. For Luther was to get a
''cut" in SO per cent of all money
taken it at the gate.
eff Dempsey had worked pub
licly on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday walled Luther to
Flynn, lit would have meant
. profit for me Of at least
$780,"
Listen, you," bespoke Flynn in
rebuttal, this fellow Dempsey isn't
training with the idea of making
money for you. He's training to
beat Sharkey so he can get crack
at Tunney and knock him loose
from his bean. And I've figured out
that the best way to get results is
private works from now on. So that
will be just that, and stop weep
ing"
No one around the Dempsey camp
seems to be very happy over the
condition or the progress of the
ex-champion-exeept Flynn. All of
which may be explained by the fact
that Dempsey is operating in a
way entirely new for him: condi-
tioning himself under a scheme
which Flynn has outlined and
which Flynn-but no one else
thinks will be a colossal success.
Flynn is forcing Dempsey to box
flat footed. That's something
Dempsey never did in his life. He's
demanding that Dempsey work for
speed and little else. He has in
sisted that Dempsey shorten his
punches to such an extent that
Dempsey now is doing little other
than jolting. There's no power in
the socks he unleashed because
Flynn is requiring him to hurl
them in such a way that the ex-
champ cannot get any leverage.
And Dempsey, boxing flat
footed, shows a tendency to
fall forward, off balance, when.
ever he misses a punch, where.
as, in the other days, by boxing
on his toes, he was always in
position to smite with the other
paw If he missed with his first
shot.
Some of those in Dempsey's
camp have made what might be
called feeble protests to Flynn's
methods. But Flynn is holding
Dempsey rigidly to the law that
he has laid down, and comments:
Leave. this big fellow to me;
don't interfere with my program.
And when the fight is over you
fellows will find that I was right
not dead wrong, as some of you
think"
Flynn is optimistic-but he is
alone in his optimism. All others
wag their heads in doleful fashion
and chant the old, old remark:
you can't teach an old dog new
tricks -
