TWO SIDE LIGHTS ON
INSURANCE

Two items of recent news, original
ing five hundred miles apart, point in
much the same direction when
brought together.
The first originated in Washington,
though the material for it came from
all over the United States. Compen-
sation and medical care on those mat
ters, bought from private insurance
companies, would have cost S80,0O0,-
600, according OF w O. Wheary, fed
eral director of safety for WPA.
Uncle Sam saved S70,000,000 by going

self.
The other item comes from Albany

made in the New York state senate
to have legislative investigation OF
of insurance, particularly Of industrial

Louisiana Labor Welcomes
Newspaper Guild Members

Monroe, La. (ILNS) The two dele
gates of the Newspaper Guild of Mon
roe to the Central Trades and Labor
Council received warm welcome at
their first meeting. The guild was
welcomed to the ranks of organized
labor by L. Williams, Of Shreveport,
president of the Louisiana Fedora
tion of Labor.
Labor is in need of this type Of
membership" he said, "and we feel
that, with the entry into our ranks of
Monroe newspaper writer's, the state
labor organization will benefit consid-
erably. trust that every newspaper
man in the state will follow the cour-
ageous example Of Monroe newspaper
employes and that the American
Newspaper Guild will grow quickly
and achieve a strong position in
Louisiana.

this agreement covers more ground
than the one which it signed before.
This agreement provides for 8-hour
day and 40-hour week; 10 cents an
hour raise in wages with equivalent
boost of piece rates; joint adjustment
of grievances; one week vacation with
pay for all employees of more than
five years standing; and
Recognition of the union as bargain
ing agency for all its members. No
discrimination, threats or influence to
be used against unionizing or union
men. Unions in return promise not
to canvass for members on company
plant or time.
Philip Murray, head of the organ
izing committee, said on announcing
the agreement:
'.This constitutes the modern meth
Cd for labor and capital to meet on
equal terms without turmoil.

Both these items indicate wide
spread dissatisfaction with insurance
as it is handled now. Since Uncle Sam
is almost the only person in this coun-
try who can handle his own insurance,
it would seem that a thorough inves-
tigation by some competent agency
is in order. And when it comes, it
should probe industrial insurance, at
least, to the very bottom.
The worst thing about industrial in
surance is not the high cost, though
that is very high; but the appalling
number of lapses, especially in hard
times. In 1882, the John Hancock Mu-
tual had 1,2O9,0 ,068 lapses; the Metro
politan, 3,680,489; the Prudential,
4,372,6 500. In other words, working
men and women, the only people who
buy industrial insurance, lost every
thing they had put into more than
nine and a quarter million policies in
that one disastrous year And this,
while the worst year, was not so much
the worst as might be thought
More than 14,3oo,ooO industrial poll
cies issued by the same companies
Ilapsed in 1880 and 1881.
An investigation of this branch OF
insurance appears long overdue

An objection raised by committee

BILL REGULATING
SHERIFFS OKEHED
Committee Recommends III.
B. No. 203 For Passage

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, Ohio.-The house COM
mittee on public welfare last week
without dissenting vote approved
and recommended for passage House
Bill No. 203, restricting the appoint
ment of deputy sheriffs during indus
trial disputes.
Favorable action was taken when
attorneys representing the Ohio Man
ufacturers Association and other in
dustries and groups were unable to
convince the committeeman that the
bill was nor a good ole ant III the
best interests of the public welfare.
The bill specifically provides that a
sheriff cannot appoint deputies for
duty in time of industrial ,trife whose
salaries are to be paid by a private
corporation.
Opposing the bill were sttorneys
w |. Vorys, Columbus. representing
the Ohio Manufacturers Association;
Chester Nikodym, Cleveland, repre-
senting the Associated Industries Of
that city, and J. w. Deffenbaugh, Ian
caster, representing the Hooking Glass
Co, the Lancaster Glass Co., and the
Standard Glass Co., all Of Lancaster
Thomas J. Donnelly, legislative
agent and secretary treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, who
had outlined the necessity for the
proposed legislation at previous
hearing, refuted objections to the bill
made by opposing attorneys.
Representative Ray knight, Ak
ron, as member of the committee and
author of the bill, asserted that he had
personal knowledge that strike riot
was melted by deputy sheriffs on the
payroll of the company involved in
the labor dispute.
1t is this evil that the bill seeks to
correct, and upon which arguments
in behalf of the measure were based.

DEMOCRACY MAKES FOR
LABOR ORGANIZATION

History for the last hundred years
has been demonstrating that demo
cracy and labor organization go hand
in hand.
Great Britain, where modern labor
organization began, has been steadily
growing more democratic for a cen
tury. With every increase Of demo-
cracy, the British unions have gained
in power and influence
In the United States, republic
founded on democratic principles, the
unions have attained a numerical
strength second to those of Great
Britain, and an actual strength and
an actual strength and influence sec
ond to none.
Democracies are the best friends of
unionism, which explains why the
American Federation of Labor fights
autocracy, whether it comes from the
left Of revolutionary radicalism or
the "righ" of reactionary stand
patism. Labor knows that in demo-
cracy and its extension lies the hope
of unionism. So it strives for more and
more democracy and encourages every
move to make this government more
responsive to the will Of the people.
