ARE YOU INSURED?
IF NOT, WHY NOT?
By MATTHEW WOLL
President, The Union Labor Life In
surance Company
The Union Labor Life Insurance
company, owned and controlled by the
American trade unions calls upon you
to become one of its first 10,000 indi
vidual life insurance policyholders.
The Union Labor Life Insurance
company is now a fact—a functioning
institution. On June 15th last it op
ened its doors prepared to insure the
lives of all trade unionists, their
friends and sympathizers. It is now an
active insurance company. It is now
energetically engaging in the work of
soliciting the life insurance of all
workers. v
For the past several months its of
ficers and experts were engaged in
equipping its offices and preparing its
employees to accept and handle the
business of an insurance company.
Plans and rates and procedure have
been established. Agents are being li
censed and equipped and insurance is
being written.
Steps have been taken to have this
company authorized to transact life
insurance by person-to-person solici
tation in every state of the Union and
in every province of Canada. Wonder
ful progress has been made in this
direction.
Today the Union Labor Life Insur
ance company is doing business by
mail in every state of the Union and
in the Provinces of Canada.
Very soon the Union Labor Life In
surance company will have trade union
agents in every part of North Amer
ica.
It is soliciting both individual and
group life insurance. For the time
being its individual life insurance pol
icies are limited to $5,000 on any one
life. The lowest policy issued on any
one life is for two hundred and fifty
dollars.
These individual policies are not con
fined to trade unionists. Any person
in insurable condition may apply for
foi and receive life insurance by la
bor's insurance company.
Seven different forms of individual
policies are now being issued besides
group insurance.
The rates of insurance for the time
being are on a par with those charged
bv other life insurance companies. But
every policy of the Union Labor Life
Insurance company is participating
that is, returns the profits to the pol
icyholder.
Inasmuch as it is the intent and pur
pose of this company to hold down its
overhead expenses below those of all
other companies, and because interest
on capital and surplus are limited to
ti per cent per annum, it is fully be
lieved that before long this company's
actual rates of insurance will be lower
than those of any other life insurance
company for the same kinds of insur
ance. This, however, depends largely
upon the response made by the work
ers of North America in applying im
mediately to the company for life in
surance.
While the Union Labor Life Insur
ance company solicits individual life
insurance from anybody and every
body, it is particularly anxious that
every worker and every trade unionist
should hold a life insurance policy in
the company. To that end it wants
every worker and every trade unionist
write immediately to its offices at
I'll Connecticut Avenue, N. W.,
Washington, D. C., for full informa
nt as to policies and rates and to ask
i i life insurance application blanks.
The company has set out for its im
v diate goal the issuing of at least
iM.000 individual trade unionists for
ns ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. In
lition it hopes soon to number hun
icids of thousands under group poli
i's. It calls upon you to become one
i the first 10,000 individual trade un
ionists to obtain individual life in
u -ance policies from the Union Labor
i-it'e Insurance Company. Every work
i should be the proud possessor of an
individual insurance policy from the
company. You can arrange to pay for
your policy monthly, quarterly, semi
annually or annually.
There is no reason why every work
er should not have his life insured in
the Union Labor Life Insurance com-
P-iny.
There is every reason why you
should apply immediately for such in
surance. By applying and paying your
first premium you will immediately be
insured for the full amount. Is it pos
si bit1 that you can conceive of anything
tter to protect your home and fam
ily than this? Perhaps you are buying
your home and it is not as yet paid
for in full. If your life is insured and
anything should happen to call you to
the Great Beyond, your life insurance
will help pay the mortgage and pro
tect your family in its home. Again
if you are not buying a home or if you
have paid for your home, and death
should come, as come it will, then
life insurance policy in the Union La
bor Life Insurance company will bring
an income to your family and depend
ents after your, life or earning: power
has ended.
Do not be misled in the false securi
ty that you are not in need of life
insurance. Every worker should carry
life insurance and prolong his earning
power after death. Even if you have
some life insurance you should increase
7
the amount of your protection and en
large the income of your old age, 6r
after death.
The Union Labor Life Insurance
company is interested not only in hav
ing you take out one of its policies,
but in the help you thus give in build
ing up a trade union life insurance
enterprise that will in turn strength
en the trade unions themselves. Thus
it will ultimately through them enable
you and your fellow workers not only
to increase your present wages to pay
for adequate life insurance but also
Maneuvering
Malvina
By H. IRVING KING
(Copyright.)
t|T
IS of no use urging me, auntie,
1 I won't marry him."
Amelia Maxwell was described by
certain illiterate persons as "Sot in
her ways." She was. So was her
aunt, Malvina, who had adopted lier
upon the death of her parents and
brought her up. There was this dif
ference between them, however:
Amelia, having decided upon a course
of action, boldly and openly stuck to
it. Aunt Malvina was just as deter
mined to have her way as her pretty
niece, and seldom failed to get It But
Aunt Malvina was Bixty-flva. Her
methods were those of a strategist.
The young man who was»the sub
ject of the discussion between Amelia
and her aunt was Albert Crawford.
'"You have never seen Albert in your
life," argued the aunt. "Why do you
say you will not raary him?"
"Because I won't," replied Amelia.
"I am old enough to choose a husband
for myself—and intend to do so. 3 I
should hate awfully to leave you,
auntie, but I am perfectly capable of
earning my own living—I am a good
stenographer—we had that in school
and if the price of your continued
favor is compliance with your demands
regarding Mr. Crawford I must de
cline to pay It."
"Bosh!" said Aunt Malvina "you
talk like a female Sir Charles Grandi
son. Won't you even meet the young
man
*No," said Amelia firmly—and left
the room.
Albert Crawford was th« son of a
man whom Malvina had known in her
youth, and had he not married Mal
vina's dear friend and school compan
ion—well, had he not married some
body else Miss Malvina might not
have been Mias Malvina still. Albert's
father had been a planter in the
Philippines where he had settled soon
after the American occupation. There
he died and his wife followed him io
the grave after only a year of widow
hood, commending—in a letter written
shortly before her death—"Jerome's
son" to the favorable regard of Mal
vina.
"And I will marry Mm to Amelia,"
thought the old lady.
There was a young man named Ed
Poinfret—a really fascinating fellow
with the girls—who was making a
"dead set" at Amelia. Aunt Malvina
never mentioned Albert Crawford's
name to her niece after their first
rather stormy discussion of him but
she did display a strong fear of Pom
fret.
"My dear aunt," said Amelia, "you
will pardon me if I say that your sus
picions regarding my feelings toward
Ed Pomfret are absurd. Why, I can't
bear the creature."
"Humph!" said Miss Malvina. *Tve
heard that sort, of talk before—and
then the girl has gone and married
the fellow. I'd feel safer if there were
three thousand miles of water be
tween you and Ed Pomfret. I think
I'll take you on a trip on one of those
steamers that go down the Mediter
ranean and up to the Black sea, and
take two months In doing it."
"Your fears with regard to Pom
fret are groundless," said Amelia
"but, oh, how I should enjoy a trip
to the Mediterranean. When, can we
start?"
Aunt Malvina's plan of separating
Amelia and Ed Pomfret by leagues of
rolling sea was good. But the poor
woman only seemed to have jumped
out of {he frying-pan Into the fire
For on board the steamer was a young
man who was down on the passenger
list as Cornelius Ruth-ven. He pro
cured one of those easy steamship in
troductions to Amelia and seemed,
thereafter, never entirely happy un
less he was by her side.
He certainly was a most preposses
sing young man and Amelia appeared
to enjoy his company as much as he
did hers.
At last the long voyage drew to Its
close. The night before the steamer
was due In New York AmeJIa came
Malvina and told her that she had
promised to marry Cornelius Iluthven
"Oh, well," said Malvina with a
sigh. "I suppose you must have your
own way. Are you sure you love
him?"
"I am," replied Amelia, blushing.
"And that, whatever might turn up
with regard to his antecedents—re
member, you know ne*t to nothing
about him—you would love him still
insisted the aunt.
"I don't care who or what he is,"
replied the headstrong girl, "I am go
ing to marry htm."
"Well," went on the old lady, ••I'll
tell you who and what he is—he's
Albert Crawford, the son of my old
friends Annie and Jerome Orawford.
He arrived in the States from the
Philippines two days after you had
refused my demand that you marry
him. I visited him secretly and he
and I put up this llttje.job. Now
what have you got to say?"
Amelia had a lot to say. She was
furiously and justifiably angry at the
trick that, had been played upon her
and at first declared that "everything
was off."
"But," said Aunt Malvina, when the
girl had calmed down somewhat, "you
said you would marry him, no matter
who or what he was."
"I did," replied Amelia, "and I will
keep my word. But hereafter, don't
either of you dare to try and deceive
me in any manner, whatever."
"Of course not, my dear," said Aunt

IN
STRIKE
Vancouver, B. C.—Anti-union inter
ests have abandoned their cry "Can
ada for Canadians" and a^e importing
trikebreakers from the United States

"Patriotic" city officials are aiding
the employers by permitting evasions
city building ordinances and the
plumbers' license law. A rigid en
forcement of the latter would debar
trikebreakers.
Trade unionists who are affiliated to
he American Federation of Labor
hrough their international unions are
ailing attention to the insincerity of
mployers who advise workers to
maintain Canadian trade unions and to
mve no direct relations with the coun
ry to the south.

LAWYERS'
Tight Union Recognized By
State
San Francisco.—The "self-govern
ing bar" act, passed by the California
legislature, drives every lawyer into
the Lawyers' Union and makes that
organization as tight as the proverbial
drum. All questions affecting the le
gal profession are referred to this
union that is backed by the state.
If a wage worker asked the state
to accord his union the same recogni
tion, this would be "un-American"
and "unconstitutional," sayB the Sea
men's Journal.
"The lawyers are not distrurbed by
such nice principles. They hkve the
common sense to see that the best
way to protect a trade is to organize
it, and the best way to protect the
organization is to get the union shop.
"The very lawyers who have been
loudest in demanding this 'self-govern
ing bar' act are most active in de
nouncing the "illegal and un-American
tactics' of the labor unions. It all de
pends on your point of view. The
union shop is all right in your trade,
but all wrong in the other fellow's."
UPHOLDING LAW
Philadelphia. Professional base
ball cannot be played in this state on
Sunday, the state supreme court
rules.
The decision is based on the blue
laws of 1794, which provides a penalty
of $4 for engaging in worldly employ
ment. Afnthe fine could be paid each
Sunday, the Dauphin county court at
Harrisburg issued a perpetual injunc
tion against the offending team. This
has been upheld by the high court.

The structure is modern in every
