The board of supervisors of LaSalle
county passed a resolution providing
for the purchase Of coal mined in that
county or from Illinois mines. The
resolution declared that no coal should
be purchased outside the state. Other
counties were preparing to take SINH

by the Illinois Coal Sales Association,
comprised of union miners, coal own
ers and business men in mining sec
tons of this state. The Carlstrom
ruling is a blow to this campaign.

UNION LABOR LIFE
EXPECTS TO SHARE
INSURANCE GROWTH

Washington, ID. c., G. l.. N. S.
Life insurance protection in the Unit
ed States has increased $52 per person
thus far this year, according to sta
tistics just compiled and all represent
atives of the Union Labor Life Insur-
ance company, of which Matthew Woll
is president, have been furnished with
the report with the message that la
boris company must reap its full share
of the growing willingness of Ameri-
can workers to protect themselves and
their families with legal reserve in
surance.
What the statistics mean is that
each resident of the country would
have $52 more insurance than last
year if new business were evenly ap-
portioned on a per capita basis.
Per capita life insurance has shown
a yearly gain since 1925 and a gain
since 1923 which shows that life in
surance protection is growing at a
rate much more rapid than the growth
in population.
The total of new insurance written

offered 30 cents an hour. This was Ia
cents lower than the minimum OBJ
tanning in the district, which has a
monthly payroll in it's steel mills of
100000. The district rose in arms
to demand higher rate, but the Gu
thrie company asserted that it could
get 30-cent labor and declined to pay
the higher rate.
"Then the Mahoning Valley sani-
tary district, political subdivision
formed to handle the development of
the water supply, agreed to pay the
difference of $4,000, which would give
the common laborers SO cents an hour.
This action was held illegal, and after
some talk about raising the funds by
public subscription, the contractors
agreed to assume the extra cost them
selves. The local rates in the Mahon-
ing Valley in general are 20 cents an
hour for common labor in construc-
tion work, so to 65 cents for common
labor in the steel mills, and "A cents

Business men of the district main

Labor Gains in Fight to
Curb Unemployment With
Federal ''Prosperity" Fund

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Labor's great
battle against the menace of unem-
ployment has been rewarded with an
other stage of victory by approval just
given to the proposal for creation of
a governmental prosperity reserve"
by the division of building and hous-
ing, Department of Commerce, in a
memorandum prepared for the Senate
Committee on Commerce by DR.. John
M. Cries, head of that bureau.
The memorandum supports the

To Act on 10 Per Cent Drop
The senate committee amended the
original bill, which provided for ac-
tion in 20 per cent drop, but even
with the amendment which changes
the amount to 10 per cent, there is
great fear that the "pick-up" brought
about by release of government funds
for work will not be rapid enough to
stop the declining movement. How
ever, it is conceded that the bill moves
in the right direction. The memo

The authorization contained in this
