Huskies Display Real Power with
 Win Over Bruins
Washington Proves Tie with California Was No
 Accident

SEATTLE, Nov 15.-Proving that their great scoreless tie against mighty California was no fluke, Washington lambasted the UCLA Bruins 26 to Saturday afternoon.
 At no time did the Bruins ser iously threaten the Husky goal line. The Washington boys scored one touchdown in the second period, one in the third and then in the fourth pushed two markers over the Bruin strip e.
 Halfback Merle Miller plunged one score over and caught a pass for another. In the third touchdown play, Jimmy Johnson romped over 36 yards of turf for another six points. In the last touchdown, Yarr grobbed another touchdown pass for the final marker
 The Washington HuskieS, playing their first game of the season in rain or snow. were at no advantage because of the weather. They were just plainly speaking, too good for the Bruins and outclassed their southern rivals from one gun to tls next

 "A substantial judge" the com. missioner said, efeels that some con- cNrn might center around the pose Sihility 0f imitation aa affecting the value Of an estate created by his in- surance. A practloing attorney, familiar with al the laws of In. surAnce. feles that the large inaur- ance investor, who may have to rely from time to time on leans aip- ported by his policy, might reason. ably feel that the cost Of this loan to himself, In interest. represents aa amount of money higher and out of proportion to what ordinarily is the value of loaned money in the general commercial market,
 "A successful manufacturer thinks that that important group of policy. holders who take out . large amount of insurance should give careful thought ct the tendency of the day. He feels that the government should have more concern for the large pollcyholder who may attempt to set up . life insurance trust with no certainty as to what the govern. ment may do In the future in the way of making them taxable either to the creator of the trust or the beneficiary,

called closed corporations, locking forward to his own demise feels that the government of tho United States could properly approve and adopt legislatlon that would permit the policyholdeE to take our insur- Nnee on hia own life made payable to the government In the event oi his death, to he credited against estate taxes on the inventory of hls estate. This would prevent the sale of closely held stock which might not Ind c ready market, or would prevent the dependents frotn seeking loans with that stock As c collateral, to secure ready cash for taxes, and would enable the government more quickly to get It's money and thus have the use Of it months before otherwise it might obtain it.
 "A person k always on dangerous grounds who jumps from Q few incl. dents to a general conclusion, but ! venture to say therefore that, from tho standpoint of the policyholdera, whatever problems are paramount today are In the field of tie higher brackets. n other words are in the field of life insurance As an invest ment rather than In the field of life insurance as c protection.
 "rhe next man in line, the agent who approAches the policyholder, begrudges no man his livelihood. but feels that his competition should come from qualified rather than un. qualified competitors, and finds that the greatest problem from his angle is to have men In the field properly representative of their companies"
 CommissleneSs' Views
 Among the commissioners one feels that investments Is the out. standing problem today, but that time will be the inevitable healer oi this. He also feels that the numer- cus options in policies are somewhat unneceasary and that the situation might be clarified by . movement toward some standardization. Ans other commissioner would like 70 see the cost of life insurance to the policyholder reduced, making il more available to . larger number of people. but offers no solution to the problem. A third is more con. cerned directly with the high cost of acquisition, and thinks it should have closer attention Of the execu- tives.
 Of the executives, one Connectl. cut president indicates that the pros ductlve investment of funds k his nearest problem, and feels that . shrinkage In net interest rate during the last i've years might closely 70. fleet the shrlnkage in dividends to policyholdcrs, indicating that the loss from changing conditions h not falling, as is commonly sup posed, on . few rich people but or, the sound and thrifty middle class, alike in insurance as in the savings bank field.

An answer to the question as to it's
next activity can be obtained only
by putting two and two together. BY
this process it becomes apparent that
there can be but two major issues
1. Vigilantes, operating to terrorize
labor
?. The suppression of the right Of
free speech and peaceful assembly.
AT present the committee has 20
secret agents in the field, under the
direct supervision of the committees
secretary, Robert Wohlforth.
Who and where they are is part Of
the secret.
When they will report also is indie
finite, not to say vague. The commit
tee itself will not make report until
Congress convenes in regular session
in January, 1898.

ably certain that agents have been

More Power Than NLRB.
An inquiry into the Weirton plant,
with subpoena trimmings, which so far
have not taken, is being conducted
by the National Labor Relations
Board. John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization has not, so
far made much Roadway in unionizing
Weirton workers and the NLRB is
asking why. To obtain little light
W
editor of Mill and Factory was sub
pcnaed to appear, but he disregarded
the order, questioning the authority
of the board in that particular. 1t
may Re he is right as regards the
board, but he certainly would find
himself in difficulty if he refused to
respond to a subpoena from the La
Toilette committee or to tell where he
obtained the material for an article
he published on conditions in the
Weirton plant, which the board is ex-
ercised about. 1t is all just as simple
as that; the NLRB cannot get the
witness before it, the committee can

From news accounts and the ev:-

is indicated that Weirton employees

Some of his organizers have suffered
from their eagerness to convince the
steel workers that the CTO is the
union for them. Whether vigilante
methods are being used by steel COM
pany men is the question bothering
the board, and presumably the La Fol

being sought.

New York Mayor Seeks

Washington Dec. L Mayor Fiorel-
10 H. La Guardias recent formal af-
filiation of himself with the newly.
organized and as yet rather infantile
American Labor party is interpreted
by politicians in Washington as the
New Workers. first step toward a
leadership of national proportions in
the near future ably in 1910.
La Guardia's standing as a Repub-
lican never has amounted to much
Still, if he has presidential ambi-
tons, even a nominal c.. o. p. label,
worn by him too long, could not but
embarrass him almost impossibly.
For, of course, a Republican indorse-
ment of his candidacy for any but
strictly local office would be unim-
aginable. Nor is he a conceivable
Democratic nominee.
In short, he is not a Republican or
Democrat in the orthodox sense of
either designation. Neither is he a
Socialist, though he served a term in
Congress as one. He does not quite
fit into the New Deal, either. He has
been friendly to some of the New
Deals detectives, but it's course has
been too erratically steered to suit
him. He has clean-cut politico-econo-
mic philosophy, with no wobbling
such as the New Deals. For example.
Rooseveltianism avowedly is expert
mental. The mayor has a definit
plan. Within New York City's limits
he has not had a chance to reveal
more than one per cent of it. but it is
of countrywide calibre. I know it.

a stronger, ADLER man than the elder
La Toilette was, but he is at least a
fair match for the latter, and maybe
the time is ripper for him than it was
for the Wisconsin senator, IS or IA
years ago.
Old-fashioned politicians regard him
with a modicum of respectful appre-
hension, anyway
