On this anniversary month of the founding of the Association we quote the late Charles P. Ford, former President of the Union Cooperative Insurance Association, lie was a man who was respected, admired and worshipped by his fellowmen. Mr. Ford was a man of vision and of courage. Let us observe what insurance experts say of the organization of which he was former President.

BEST'S LIFE INSURANCE REPORTS "Its purpose is to provide life insurance for union men xndl their families." "Net cost to policyholders has been low." "The company has been most ably managed in the interests of its policyholders, and the results achieved are well above the average for the business." "In ourt opinion it has more than ample margins for contingencies." "Upon the foregoing analysis of its present position we recommend this company."

INSURANCE EXAMIINERS As you probably know, life insurance companies-are examined peri- odically according to Insurance Laws. In the Report of Examination of the Union Cooperative Insurance Association made this year, the comments in part are as follows: "The records were in excellent condition." "The Association is efficiently managed."

DUNNE'S INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE REPORT "The guaranteed premium rates charged for insurance by the company render cost of insurance to be relatively low." "The liquid position of the Company, that is, the ratio of its cash and high grade bonds, to its policyholders' liability is very good." "Net interest earned during the year on mean invested assets was 4.6% which is excellent." "Insurance expenses are very low." "Assets of the Company appeared to be of excellent quality, and to be well diversified."

Prices If workers are to share justly in the in- creasing wealth they help to create, their living standards must rise in proportion to the increasing power to produce with modIern machinery. To accomplish this, pay envelopes this fall must be consid- erably more than 5 per cent above last year. "We cannot know exactly how much the average pay envelope should increase this fall to keep pace with modern in- dustrial progress, for the United States government has not yet developed rec- ords to give an accurate measure of the worker's increasing power to produce year by year. We do know that from 1929 to 1935 production of all goods and services per employee per year increased 10 per cent, even though the work week was shortened from an average of about 49 hours in 1929 to 39 hours in 1935. We know also that production per employee per yea' has increased considerably since 1935. .

logical time for a further increase in wages, and it is important that wages rise substantially. Industrial profits have increased in the first half year. the National City Bank figures for 315 lead- ing corporations showing an advance of 36 per cent in profits in the first half of 1937 over the same period in 1936. Business firms which have not already given their workers a generous advance should be well able to do so this fall." THE WAGE QUESTION There is little doubt that intelligent business men are welcoming the incereased organization drive of labor. They know that union labor when it is responsible and intelligent acts as a stabilizing force in any given industry and that business men can count upon a constant wage bill. They also know that if organization be comes almost universal, then the handicap of unfair competition, as between those industries organized and those industries Columbus. diso.r.

seemed that his plan for complete devel- opment of the Skagit River would be stopped or at least postponed indefinitely, he went east and after many disappoint- ments, raised $4,000,000 from eastern banking houses to carry on with. This was no small feat for anyone at that time as public utilities had not yet begun their climb back to prosperity that they have enjoyed the last two years." Local Union No. 48, of Portland, is furnishing electrical workers for the Bonneville project. In February, 1935, Press Secretary William S. Belt reported in the JOURNAL that the research records of time worked by members of the local showed that employment in 1933 ranged from the near-vanishing point of 19.3 per cent in July to a maximum of 42.6 per cent in Decmber, while records for the first eight months of 1934 showed a mini- mum employment of 40.7 per cent in Feb- ruary and a maximum of 78.3 per cent in July. The increase was attributed partly to the construction of a large grain eleva- tor across the river at Vancouver, Wash., and partly to work on the Bonneville Dam.

Two years later, at the close of the Third World Power Conference, held in September, 1936, in Washington, D. C., the delegates, assembled from all corners of the globe, toured the major power sites of the United States. One of the highlights of their trip to the Northwest was their two-day visit at Seattle's Gorge and Diablo dams on the Skagit.

These infamous coal and iron police became known throughout the country for their fiendishness and brutality. Into this maelstrom of persecution, hate, injustice, racial and religious big- otry the American Federation of Labor cast their lot to organize these workers. It was a gigantic task and a formidable one, because lined against them was the power of money, which corrupted the courts, the public, the press, the pulpit and played one nationality against an- other. It seemed that even the elements were against them, because nature in its fury directed floods and storms against the frail wood shacks that housed these workers, making many homeless and des- titute.

Women's Auxiliary Iar WOMEN'S AUXILIARY L. IT. NOS. 177 AND 862, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Editor: Much has been said and will be said about the benefit of organization among women and every day we have demonstrated to us the necessity of more organization work along this line. In time of strikes and other trouble in the ranks of organized labor, women, esrpecilly organized women, are pro- ing of inestimable value and there are but few who will deny this statement. These women are giving of their time and energy every day and doing the many tasks that only a woman can do efficiently and were it lot for their efforts much would be left un- lone that should be done. In many cities there are a number of wo- mOle's groups, narely. auxiliaries and women's union label leagues, and these women loin hanids in performing the many tasks allotted them without a word of complaint at the aerifieo they may have to make. Most of themn have to leave undone their home duties and a great majority have children to care for, hut no one can deny the fact that when they have set out toward a goal not many ever falter because they have found the task a hard one. Their value in the maintaining of picket lines, and the great encouragement to the tired and harassed pickets in the prepartion and serving of food on the lines,. and the care of those little ones in the homes of the strikers who have been deprived of the ,sy envelope for a period of time, can not b, counted in terms of dollars and cents. There is not enough money in the United States mint to meet these values. Money alone cannot keep the courage burning bright in the hearts of men, and women on a picket lie, There is another great need and that is supplied by personal interest shown by those not engaged dirctly in the struggle. Those of ynu who have interested yourselves in the psychology of picketing must have noticed the bright smile appearing on the fae, of a tired, discouraged striker when someone comes along and says, "All right, sister, stick BAKED BEANS WITH WINE to the fight.
