NEW YORK. Oct. 29-It still is
Cornell, Notre Dame and Michigan,
in that order, when the countrys
sports editors get down to apprais-
ing the top-flight college football
teams.
For the second straight week of
the Associated Press ranking poll,
these three head the list-Cornell,
apparently already lover the hump"
en- route to its second straight all
winning season, and Notre Dame
and Michigan, with their toughest
assignments to come.
This Saturday, however, all three
should be safe. Cornell isn't likely
to have much trouble with Colum-
bia. despite Lion Coach Lou Little's
crack that well try not to turn it
into a rout when we go to Ithaca"
Notre Dame probably will spend
most of its Saturday afternoon try
ing to hold down the score against
Army, and Michigan will be safest
of all. The Wolverines will rest for
a'week in preparation for Mime
sofa, Northwestern and Ohio State.
Gophers Are in Danger.
For the rest of the first 10-11,
actually, with Clemson and George
town tying for last place-this Sat-
urday's schedule holds considerably
more danger.
The Al attraction of the day will
be played at Evanston, Ill, between
Minnesota, ranked fourth, and
Northwestern, eighth. on the list.
The fifth-place Texas Aggies will
battle Arkansas. surprise conquerer
of Mississippi last Saturday; Stan

NEW RK.-(FP)-Contro of the
American Labor party, bitterly dis

that the right wing group led by him

Opponents of the Rose-Dubinsky-
Antonini faction were equally conf
dent that their Progressive Commit

ical CO..
First Issue came out March 80, and
the front page headline was: $4,000
INSURANCE DIVIDEND. The story
said that checks would be mailed to
employees in the middle of April, and
explained that "for some time the
company has held 1t (the accumula-
ton Of dividends) in special fund to
| be used in some way for the benefit
of its employees, but no suitable plan
has been suggested Therefore,
the company has decided to make a
cash distribution to its insured en-
ployes."
Union leaders ridiculed the COM
pany's pretense that it had recognized
the employees claim to the dividends
all along. They pointed out that
Monsanto was also willing to make
payments to former employees who
carried this group insurance, upon
satisfactory proof of identity"
Stafford believes that many thou
sands of group-insured workers in
other industries may have been de-
prived of their dividends. In addition
to being an insurance sIeuth, he is the
inventor of the labor game, Higher
Wages-Shorter Hours" which sells
at $1.50' and may be ordered from him

ST. LOUIS (FP) = The curiosity
of an AFL worker in the plant of the
Monsanto Chemical Co. broke up {
group insurance racket and forced the
company to give its employees more
than $4,000 that had been withheld
during 10-year period.
About a year ago w. H. Stafford
chairman Of the legislative and edu
lcational committee of Federal Local
to find out how the company's group
insurance plan worked.
All the employees knew was that
they paid fixed monthly premiums OF
$1.25 and up, depending on wages, for
900 life insurance with sickness and
accident benefits. Only workers earn
ing between $50 and $3.50 a month
paid the s1.25 rate; those earning
from $3.50 to $3.50 monthly, for ex-
ample, were assessed $195.
These rates were supposed to rep
resent only part of the premiums, the
rest being borne by the company,
whose president is Edgar M. Queeny,
vice president of the Natl. Assn of
Manufacturers. But whenever Mon
santo employees asked just how much
the company paid, the answer invari-
ably was. "a substantial portion"
Stafford enlisted the aid of Pres.
Reuben G. Soderstrom of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor in his fact
Ind n al leo tAI he
Illinois State Department of Insur-
ance, which in turn wrote to the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Co. and fin
ally obtained the figures from Vice
Pres. Charles G. Taylor Jr.
The statistics made Stafford gasp.
First of all, the Substantial portion"
that the company had been paying
turned out to be only 20%6. Second,
the Metropolitan had paid dividends
on the policies almost every year, and
for the years 1879 inclusive the
dividends totaled $70,419.
Not a nickel of these dividends had
ever been turned over to the policy
holders. And in one year (1938) Mon
santo had received $40,323 in divi-
dends, while it's contribution to the
premiums was only $2S,97O out of the
$116,334 total paid to Metropolitan.
Technically, Monsanto was within
the law, for the policies had been pre-
pared so that the company was en-
titled to receive the dividends But
the paternalistic plan actually worked
out in 1888 SO that Monsanto Melted
$11,353 through the employees pre-
MUM payments.

licized it's findings Then the big
shots went into huddle, and Matched

the empire, in Latin America and In
Europe. They never recovered fully
in China and in Canada.
During the present war the British
are taking no chances. The same Mr.
R. S. Hudson who in 1899 was doing
what he could to buy off Germany
with big loan, and thus postpone
the outbreak of hostilities, is now, as
secretary of overseas trade, doing his
bit to carry on business as usual
Mr. Hudson describes overseas
trade as "a new British expeditionary
force" In his drive for world mar
kets, he is saying very frankly that
the rank and file of Britishers must
prepare to tighten their belts, as one
means Of defense against the loss of
foreign trade. The new restrictions,
he says, "are bound to be drastic But
I am sure the people of this country
will accept them cheerfully once they
understand how vital they are."
Rich and poor must both make sac
rifices in the interests Of reduced con-
sumption and bigger exports. IF, in
time of peace we have to sell abroad
to safeguard our standards of living,
in war time we have to do so even
more to safeguard our very lives"
Thus far Mr.. Hudson and his CO.
workers have scored some phenom-
email successes. They pushed Decem-
Der exports above the average for the
eleven months. In jan
uary, British exports were S8,000,006
above the figure for January 1882
To be sure they have the very con-
siderable markets formerly held by
blockaded Germany to draw upon.
Still, though they are engaged in
major war effort, business goes
ahead
United States exports were up 1870
IN January 1910 over the previous
January. Much of this increase takes
he form Of war materials for Europe. |
Yet it is partly due to sales in former
ierman-controlled markets.

Dear Editor:
Recently picked up copy OF your
paper in hotel lobby and find my
self immensely intrigued by it and
by the organization back OF it. Co
operatives have long seemed to me
the best hope Of the common man.
The increasing concentration Of eco
nomic control Is reducing man to para
sition In the professions and to new
serfdom in the Industrial field The
essential dignity of manhood is alike
betrayed In either case. Great wealth
distorts the clarity of vision, while
poverty makes mockery of the rea-
sonable visions OF life that men should
have.
Political freedom of course means
little to a man with empty pockets
Europe is demonstrating this truth to
US. The question that haunts my
more thoughtful moments is this: Are
we taking the European demonstra-
ton to heart sufficiently to profit by
it? So far it would seem that neither
business nor political leaders even
comprehend the nature of the degen-
erative development in our economic
order that is carrying us slowly to-
ward social catastrophe. The one
sure counteractive to this degenera-
tive process is of course the co-opera-
tive, because it is the only instru-
ment at hand that the common man
can surely utilize to save the demo
cratic worthiness of his life.
1t is this cooperative organization
of your paper that touches my i'm
agination. Those of US in the bust
ness knew how news was manipulated
even before Sinclair's Brass Check
made it clear that the controlled press
is the greatest enemy of the whole
democratic process. The group back
