FARLEY PLANS
STANDARD
POLICIES

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The writ
ing of the unusual insurance con
tracts known as inland marine
policies, which may be had nova
days to cover almost any conceiv
able disaster from the collapse OF
a suspension bridge to the drop
ping of a Christmas gift on a con
crete floor, is to be further stand
ardized by cooperative action
among the larger mutual fire in
surance companies.
The Mutual Marine Conference
formed this week in Chicago by
members of the Federation Of Mu
tual Fire Insurance Companies
called yesterday for the assem-.
bling of the inland marine loss
statistics of all member companies
in a central Chicago bureau
Standard Conference rates on all
types Of risk will be based upon
studies of the loss experience OF
the entire group of mutual com.
panies.
OIIere0 Next month
Completely standardized policies
upon all the common inland ma.
rine coverages are to be offered
next month by conference compa,
nies as the first step in a pro
gram designed to continue during
1887 the expansion of their inland
marnie departments. This type OF
insurance, originated to extend in
land transport protection to ocean
cargoeS, has expanded it's scope
so greatly during the past few
years that it now includes virtually
every type of property coverage
not available under the regular
fire and casualty policies.
Among the standard policies
which already have been drafted
by the underwriters committee
which has been in session in Chi.
cago during the past fortnight
are: Radium. films, fine arts, mu.
sical instruments, general property,
signs, morticians' equipment, golf.
ers' equipment, surgical and scien-
tific instruments, outboard motors,
cameras, Silverware, stamp collec-
tions, wedding presents, guns, per.
sonal effects, personal property,
fur coats, registered mail, parcel
post and jewelry. These will be
recommended to member compa-
nies as mandatory.
For Simplification
The primary objective of the
mutual marine conference will be
simplification of the business of
inland marine nderwriting.
Studies will be made of rating
methods, uniform clauses in poll
cies and forms, inspection meth
DDS. underwriting, and the posi-.
bility Of reducing hazards as has
been done in fire and casualty
lines.
The executive committee gov.
erning the mutual marine con.
ference is made up of R. M. Rog-

STRIKES
WAKE DOUBTS
INC0NGRESS
BY EARL GOODWIN

Thousands of relief workers on
strike in New York city as a pro-
test against reduction in relief
amountS-arouse the suspicion on
Capitol Hill that certain relief
chiefs are fomenting these strikes,
in order to get continued billions
for WPA-or whatever form Fed
eral relief takes in the future.
Very little to base this suspicion
on in the visit of Harry Hopkins,
Number One relief man to the
White House; in fact, Mr.. Hop
kins after being half an hour
with the President gave the i'm.
preston that he had been advised
to be extremely cautious about
talking for publication about bill.
lions, just before Congress con-
vened on a budget-balancing seS-
sion.
La Guardia Shocked
However, it is firmly believed
that Mayor La Guardia of New
York, one of the leading pro-
ponents of continued huge relief
sums might be induced to appear
at the opportune moment to show
New York Congressman, at least,
that unless the government con.
tinues it's generous relief policies,
the State and city of New York
will have to stand the financial
burden of thousands of New York
relief clients who seem to feel they
have been given a permanent re-
lief grant.
If these suspicious have no
basis, then it must be confessed
by any relief official there is con-
siderable mystery as to the govern
ment's relief program for the next
six months. The cash drawer at
Hopkins office is almost down to
the last few cents; the President
has said that he thought half a
million dollars would do as stop
gap until July l.
Silence Held Golden
It is understood the President
was advised by some of his
financial men that it would be
inlpolitic to talk about large re-
lief funds just now. This step
was followed by a continued slic-
ing of the relief administrations
workers and recipients-and such
a tremendous howl arose the
President is presumed to have
asked Mr. Hopkins not to cut so
deeply. Present strikes and pro
tests in New York city are the re-
suit of WPA cuts ordered here.
Meantime, the Presidents orig.
inal relief figure has been ampli-
fled. He has let it be known there
is some cash hidden here and there
in various funds which may be
used for relief purposes if the law
yers say it is OK and the General
Accounting Office does not stop it.
Mr.. Hopkins is not a natural
saver of Government funds when
it comes to relief. His position is
that there never has been enough
money for the unemployed and
that he would be the worlds great
est Santa Claus at this Christmas
season if he had his way. How
ever, he adds, whatever +'1e Presl.
dent wants is OK with him. This
puts the onus on the President.

.SLUMS SCORED
BY LAWES AS
CRIME KEY
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

OSSIN1NG, N. Y, Dec. "a
0.N.S).-Death houses will have
less occupants when America gets
around to eliminating slums in big
cities, giving the Small.pay work.
ing men better wages and doing
away with child labor, in the
opinion of Warden Lewis E. Lawes,
of Sing Sing Prison for II years
and a leading penologist of the
world.
Lawes sat in his office here to,
day, a stones throw from Sing
Sings death house, where 26 men,
10 of them 81 years of age or un-
der, are awaiting the electric chair,
and discussed the crime situation
in detail.
Solution Of the crime prob
lem is approached from the
wrong end. Prevention is the
big thing"
FavOrS U. S. Board
He favors creation of a Govern
ment board-"a youths admins
tration"-to supervise the Nations
crime situation, cooperate with
the schools and various boys clubs
and coordinate the entire job.
I asked him if 26 men in the
death house wasn't a record, but
he said
"NO. We've had as high as
IS in there"
But when six of these men
die the same night, January I,
that will be a recOrd?"
"N0. Seven were executed
on one night in 1912"
Warden Lawes said Sing Sing is
not receiving any more criminals
than 10 years ago, but more are
now coming in for committing SEN
sational crimes such as robbery
with gun. They are frequently
young moral imbeciles who think
they can "get away with it." The
warden explained it takes brains
to be a forger or burglar.
Few Athletes in Net
According to Lawes, Sing Sing
never gets trained athletes unless
they are broken-down fighters. !"
That's why he is in favor of COM
munity athletic clubs for boys.
Sing Sing seldom gets anyone with
vocational training either.
Warden LaWes said there is mo
one universal cause or panacea for
crimes" But slum clearance is
important, he thought. Much of
CRIME can be laid at the door of
poverty. He added:
81 think if we eliminate SlumS
in America the people who are
now opposing such a movement
will be its biggest boosters. 1
also favor a minimum wage,
nationally applied. / favor the
doing away with of child labor"
He continued.
IL om opposed to dictator
ship, but within democratic
limits we should do more for the
youth of the nation. don't
mean cOddle them. I mean fol
low them up. Keep track Of
them.
CITES OTHER NATIONS
"Charitable and educational
groups do not take hold of the
problem deeply enough. They
are afraid they would be accused
of teaching religion if they did.
Other countries do a good job
In the handling of youths.
"In this country there are 49,
25O,OOO boys between the ages
of 8 and FL. Public schools
could do more for them than
they do, but each time school
budgets are cut the children of
America are handicapped that
much more.
"In certain cOngeSted areas
in New York juvenile delin-
quency was reduced from so to
IS per cent after Fairgrounds
were opened"
Lawes said he did not believe
executing criminals acted as deter
rent. He concluded
Criminals, especially young
ones, do not think they are 60
ing to get the chair, or be sen.
fenced to life imprisonment.
They think they are going to
escape punishment"
