happened.
A young man CHANGED to call upon the priest
for consolation in . love affair. Indeed the
lady Of his choice had rejected him for an

STRICT INSURANCE
LAWS PROPOSED
Life Companies Said to Have
Endorsed Plan Urged by
Commissioners.

Strict regulation of insurance COM
panies operating in the District would
be provided under a proposed new
insurance law which the Commits
sioners have urged Congress to enact
at the present session.
In report to Chairman Norton Of
the House District Committee, the
Commissioners yesterday declared the
present insurance code is inadequate
and means practically nothing, from
the administrative, organization, regu-
lation or licensing standpoints."
Enactment of the pending bill was
urged by John A. Marshall, superin-
tendent of insurance, and Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman. Mar
shall said the bill has the approval of
life insurance interests.
The bill covers many details of in
surance operation and two important
features are provisions for punish
ment of agents or solicitors who may
miSrepresent premiums of policy
holders, and requirement that life in
surance companies shall deposit with
the District or some State authorities
securities to the value of 100000.
Another important provision is that

insolvent, District Supreme Court.

In urging enactment of the bill,

he can pay the license fee. He added:
"The superintendent Of insurance now

Wholesale Fur Shops
On Coast Are Struck
By F.W.I.U. Workers

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23.--
Workers in two wholesale fur
shops, notorious for flouting all
labor codes, are striking here un-
der the leadership of the Fur
Workers Industrial Union.
The shops are the Morris Ball
and Cohen 81 Hanfling, both at
635 South Hill st. Both have been
paying wages as low as half OF
that stipulated in the N.R.A. code
and working employees 40 hours
per week in place of the code 35.
The workers demands are the
same as those won from the
wholesalers in the Fur Jacket AS
ISOLATION and the Fur Trimming
Association, including wages high
err than those provided for in the
code, an unemployment insurance
fund, union recognition and other
favorable conditions.
Militant daily picket lines around
these two shops signify the begin
ming of the more open phase OF
the fur workers drive to union
lie the industry completely in Los
Angeles. It is expected to spread
shortly to the open shops in the
retail trade.

n. Y. Furriers Back
Philadelphia Strikers
With Donation of 500

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2S.-En-
thusiasm of the striking furrierS
is at high pitch here as support
from fur workers in other cities be-
gins to come in. A telegram of en-
couragement with a check for 500
has been received from the furriers
in New York City, H. Kaplan, chair
man Of the local strike committee
announced yesterday.
Ben Gold, national secretary of
the Fur Workers Industrial Union,
was received with stormy applause
when he addressed a meeting of
the strikers here last Thursday,
analyzing the situation of the fur
workers in a thorough fashion,
The high spirit of the workers is
particularly notable in view of the
fact that the terror against the
strikers has been sharp. S. Pasho-
kow, union organizer and strike
leader, was arrested on trumped-up
charges recently and is now out on
$1,000 bail.
The bosses are going to the
strikers homes and are Offering
them individual contracts with high
wages in order to encourage them
to return to work. But, in every
case the workers fatty rejected
these "favors" of the bosses and are
participating militantly on the
picket line to force the bosses to
settle with the union and to grant
the demands of the workers.

Form Union

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 23.-
F. E. r. A. relief workers and home
less men in the transient shelter
here are rapidly becoming organized
and are joining the Relief Work
ers Union.
The relief workers grievances are
insufficient pay, compulsion to work
in bad weather or loss Of time, and
various forms Of discrimination.
The Relief Workers Union is now
circulating petition for the follow
ing demands:
/. Immediate wage increases of
ss week for all classes Of relief
workers.
?. No loss Of wages because Of
bad weather.
3. No discrimination or intimida-
ton.
4. Recognition of grievance com
mittees.
S. A siX-hour day, time to start
from shed to shed
The grievances Of the homeless
men at the transient shelter are
much greater. More than 200 of
these men are forced TO work so
hours on relief projects or similar
work for 81 maximum week-wage.
Food is bad and housing is unsani-
tary.
AS a result, over fifty of the
homeless men have already organ
lied into Relief Workers Union,
Local l. A petition was circulated
and 100 signatures were obtained. A
committee of nine presented it to
Wayne Coy, state relief director.
Some improvement was won as
a result of organization. But Coy
refused to grant any of the wage
demands, stating that the rate of
pay Is fixed by Washington. He
also denied the workers the right
to organize, using abusive language.
Chester Stevens, secretary of the
Relief Workers Union, declared that
the Relief Directors answers to
their demands would be taken I'D
with the homeless men and further
action decided upon.

The order states that if the work.

lief job, the supervisor is instructed
to deal with workers as individuals.
This order of Col. Wilgus," the
A. o. P. E. E. statement said, "is a
clear-cut attempt to rob us of our
right to representation by our or

This new move by the work re-
lief department follows closely on
the heels of the now famous "Bul-
letin &c." issued as a ruling of the
State Temporary Emergency Relief
Administration, denying relief work.
