WASHINGTON, Jan. pa fina

urated by Democrats in the House.
Representative Garrett of Tennes-
see, Democratic leader, offered mo-
ton instructing the ways and means
committee to report for passage the
Garner $685., 100000 tax slash bill.

Marsh naturally points to the pro
lection of 5s,000,000 policy holders
and their dependents against the
financial loss due to the destruction
of earning power by death, as the
primary service rendered by life in
surance. But he continues;
Capital Accumulation.
"Of scarcely less Importance to the
economic fabric of the country, how
ever, is the function of life insurance
as a gatherer and distributor of
liquid social capitalize funds re-
ceived by the insurance institutions
and held as reserves to provide for
the maturing policies.
"The assets held by the legal-re-
serve life insurance companies of the
United States at the end Of 1926 ag-
gregated in value $12,S50,0 100000 or
about $50 per cent of the total ma
tional wealth, now estimated at $780,
900, 100000. The gain in assets dur
ing the single year 1926 was $1,313,-
600, 900, or certainly much more than
| 3.6 per cent of the years increase in
national wealth"
Liquid Capital.
This means that insurance assets
form a larger and larger proportion
of the countr;'s liquid capital. Ac-
cording to Marsh they represented IL
per cent of the national wealth in
1880; 1.2 per cent in 1890; 2 per cent
in 1900; 2.3 per cent in 1904; "a
per cent in 1912; 2.7 per cent in 1922
and $50 per cent in 1926,
"These insurance assets, more
over" he continues, "now constitute
the greatest single source of invest
ment capital in the land and the
mere figures of their distribution
among the principal categories of in
vestments afford an impressive dem.
onstration of the extent to which
they assist the productive and con-
structive work of the country"
How Insurance Grew.
Marsh outlines the investments OF
SO life insurance companies holding
about 92.4 per cent of the total as
sets of all legal-reserve companies
in the United States as follows:
Cd Farm mortgages, $1,96O,OOC,-

BY OLGA GOLD
(YOung Worker COrrespondent)

WITH growing capitalism and
w implication Of machinery, more
and more youth are involved in fac
tory life. For the last eight or nine
years the number of young workers
employed in industry has doubled. AT
present there are eleven million
young workers employed in various
industries in the U. S. Who are they?
They are the sons and daughters
of the many adult workers whose
wages are so low as to force their
children into industry.
Very Young Must Work.
Hundreds Of thousands of young
boys and girls under the age of ID
have to spend their young lives in
factory prisons, where they are
stunted, crippled before maturity.
In the United States there are in
situations for the development of the
youth. However, they are closed and
denied to the majority Of children of
the working class. Perhaps, among
the higher institutions of education,
in the high schools, colleges, ETC., you
will find very small percentage of
working class Students. Can these
students enjoy the leisure contrasted
with those of the rich in order to
help them study with clear mind =?
No, not at all!
Little Education.
Official investigation in New York
City have revealed large numbers Of
school children in working class dis
tricts to be deficient in school work,
due to malnutrition and starvation.
Also they have to be the victims of
many other sufferings, l. e., the par
ents out of work, or slack seasons,
strikes and struggles with exploit
ers. These conditions undermine
their spirits and prevent them from
obtaining a better education.
Even where the working class
youth succeeds in getting some meas
ure of education, the greatest amount
of school time is spent in teaching the
students an anti-working class ideol-
cgy.

DAVIS TO TIGHTEN
REIN ON IMMIGRANT
Secretary Believes in Stricter
Enforcement of Law Gov
erning Aliens.

Secretary of Labor Davis returned
to Washington today after an extended
business and vacation tour through
the East and Middle West, prepared to
push to the utmost q campaign
against Illegal entry of aliens into the
United States in violation of the immi-
grafton laws. Personal inspection
trips to several of the large immigra-
ton stations and conferences with i'm
migration experts have convinced Mr..
Davis the network of Federal officers
spread throughout the United States.
at every port of entry and along the
far-flung borders. must be frightened
even more drastEally. The Labor
Secretary is satisfied with the work of
the quota immigration law, which has
had it's most effective range within
his term of office, but is not entirely
in harmony with the Selective proc
esses now in use for wedding out de-
sirable immigrants from the undesir-
able.
Although as long as two years ago
the Labor Department instituted a
policy of inspection of expectan- I'M
migrants to the United States at their
home ports of debarkation, Mr.. Davis
would widen this inspection to include
extensive psychological tests, physical
tests and every means of determining
whether the alien is fit 10 enter the
United States and may not at some
future time after his entrance become
an expensive public charge.
Holding up as his slogan Not more
deportations, but fewer deportations,"
AJr no xyi ho1 hot irS
ton at ports of debarkation of aliens
intending to emigrate TO the Cnited
States would prevent expensive and
involved deportation processes and
would at the same time produce a
better immigrant stock than that
brought here by the present more or
less haphaZard methods of selection.
The Labor Secretary would not
predict what legislative steps would
be taken by Congress at the coming
session to improve the selective proc
esses, but believed that remedial meas
ures by way of enhanced appropria-
tions will be taken to stop bootleg
ging'' of aliens across the borders of
the United States and from vessels
anchored at sea.
The immigration service set a new
record during the fiscal year closed
June 80 for deportations, sending
more than 11,000 undesirable aliens
out of the United States to the ports
from which they came. Mr.. Davis
holds that a tightening of the wedding
out processes al ports in foreign lands
would reduce deportations and save
the United States much money in legal
and transportation costs. Aliens
brought into this country in excess of
quota are not an expense to the
United States, as the steamship COM
panies are required to furnish them
transportation back to their port of
embarkation.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, September 6.-On
the eve of a conference tomorrow be-

Journal today published news story
that it had authoritative information
that a settlement of the suspension,

ers, and others.
Mr.. Lewis said that the miners and
operators would confer in Chicago to-
morrow, but that as yet no agree
ment had been reached.
In later edition the Journal said:
"Illinois coal operators and miners
are certain that conference between
their officials Wednesday will result
in an agreement and an early resump-
ton of work. probably not later than
September IS.
''The Chicago conference that is to
ratify the understanding said to have
been reached, was to meet today. but
owing to the fact that both operators
and union officials were late in coming
back from Labor day outings caused
the postponement to Wednesday,"
The operators did meet and were in
session less than half hour, but no
announcement was made of what had
been discussed or what decisions
reached.
