BUY IN YOUR OWN COMPANY

Principal insurance companies wrote
life insurance amounting to the enor-
moust total of $9,057 900 in the first
nine months of this year. This
breaks all records. The great life
insurance companies are getting
richer and richer-fabulously rich.
Their money has to be invested and
they thus gain power in industry, in
finance, in half dozen great lines
of human activity.
Insurance men wonder where #
will end and what will be the out
come. So do many others. including
government officials and economists.
Undoubtedly an enormous amount
of insurance company money is in
vested in directions that give support
to industrial autocracy-which means
non-unionism.
Union labor, in turning to it's own
life insurance company, Is dealing

STEAM VERSUS GASOLINE

Steam seems to have gone into
deadly clinch with gasoline. Motor
busses and motor trucks are a more
serious competitor of the railroads
than had been anticipated at any time
in the past.
In 1917 Glass | railroads hauled
53,768,625 tons of less than carload
freight; in 1927, 38,425,225 tons. Yet
the 100000 tons do not make
full measure of the loss in short-haul
traffic they have suffered during that
decade. For they have lost in addi-
tion whatever has been the growth in
the volume of this kind of traffic
during the ten years, an accession in
which the motor truck has dented
them while taking 100000 tons
which were previously theirs.
Manifestly, the competition of the
motor bus and private automobile
which transport passengers is not the
only thing the railroads have to worry
about They have reconciled them
selves to that loss by proving that
they can withstand it.
Whether the continuing loss of
this short-haul freight traffic can be
sustained with equally supportable
consequences is at least something
of question.
That it is giving the railroad some
anxiety is shown by the growing dis
position to employ motor trucks ir
competition with those which have
been taking their less than carload
traffic away from them.
In the beginning it was the general
view that the rates in such traffic
were SO slightly remunerative, wher
remunerative at all, that the loss of i,
could be accepted with complacence.
That opinion seems to have beer
ill-founded. Or perhaps motor
trucks have come to operate over
longer distances than were ther
thought practicable.

he extended the term to six years and
then, under the lash of fear, drove
three parties to support him for re-
election.
All but two of large group of
newspapers surveyed find in the elec-
ton nothing but unanimous brotherly
love and prosperity. The truth is,
as two newspapers suspect, fear, a
demoralized opposition and some
thing not mentioned by the two
minority newspapers. Among these
are deportation and assassination.
1t is but short time since an
ex-secretary of war was compelled to
flee the island by airplane to escape
that "mysterious death" that has, in
the past three years, claimed so many
lives in Cuba
American daily newspapers fall
short in many ways. And more and
more the labor press finds the way
to true leadership, based upon truth,
honesty and fearlessness in the find
ing and presentation of facts.

HOW INJUNCTION WORKS

Federal Judge Wayne G. Borah, of
New Orleans, refused to consider
charges against a rum runner who
was seized by the federal coast guard,
and whose vessel was seized, accord
ing to the indictment, "off South
Pass" in the Gulf of Mexico, but
within the territorial waters of the
United States.
Attorneys for the rum runner
claimed that the location was indef-
mite. In upholding this claim, the
court said: "South America may be
considered as being off South Pass
Federal courts are not so particular
that justice be done when striking
workmen are enjoined from "being

Federal Judge Jackson, Of West Vir-
ginia, issued an injunction agains

Our federal courts insist on being

when workers strike for higher livint
standards.
The Borah ruling is another illus
tration of the class character of th
labor injunction.

WHEN EXTREMES MEET

President Green, at the opening OF
the A. T. of L. convention in New
Orleans, made a telling point against
non-union employers and communists.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers, at their recent New York
convention, denounced organized la
Dor while insisting that the veil of
communism is greatly exaggerated'
by the trade union movement.
In the same city, at the same time,
the communists, in a public meeting
hung A. F. of L. officials in effgy.
"They hung no capitalists" said
President Green, who called attention
to the historic unity between reaction
and revolution.

MUSCLE SHOALS
Is Lost If High Court Backs
'POcket Veto"

Washington-Go control
of Muscle Shoals is lost if the United
States supreme court holds that the
Coolidge pocket veto" defeats that
resolution, declared Senator Norris.
Under the constitution if a bill
passed by congress is not returned by
the president within ten days, the bill
vecomes law, except where adjourn
ment of congress makes such return
impossible.
The Muscle Shoals resolution was
passed at the last session of con-
gress within ten days before adjourn
ment. The president took no action
on the resolution.
The question now is: what is an
adjournment of congress-" Friends
of the resolution insist that the bill
is law, as the SEVENTEEN congress
does not adjourn until March a, 1929,
and that until then an adjournment
for few months or a day is not an
adjournment" within the meaning of
the constitution. The supreme court
will have to decide this technicality.
"It looks now," said Senator Nor
ris, "that unless the supreme court
holds that the Muscle Shoals bill is
now law, that great property devel-

SEEK FACTS TO
SUPPORT CLAIMS

Washington.-Th value of re-
labor unions, according to a survey
by the United States Bureau of La
Dor Statistics.
In summary of the study, just
made public, it is stated that many
unions maintain department whose
business it is to gather data that is
used to support wage increases.
"Unions," it is stated, "have had
impressed upon them the fact that
unless their representatives are arm
ed with data bearing upon all phases
of their situation they are at dis
advantage in their collective bargain
ing with employers.
"The employers at the council table
are represented by experts with data
at their fingers ends. Early in the
history of collective bargaining un-
ions would go to conference feeling
that as their claims were just they
would be conceded. They soon saw,
however, that having justice on their
side was not enough; the claim must
be proved, and to do so they must be
equipped to convince their opponents.
"This showed the need for facts
and for the ability to interpret these
facts. But facts are not always
easily available, and even when OBJ
tanned were not always clear in
meaning to unframed persons. To
meet this situation certain unions be-
gan some time ago to establish with
in their organization a statistical or
research department in charge of a
| trained statistician."
