ABUSES OF THE
INSANE GLASS
St. Louis Mo. May 24. The respon-
sibility of the central commercial or-
ganization of a city and its relation to
the standards of charity work done in
that community were pointed out by
Howard Strong assistant secretary of
the chamber of commerce of Cleveland
Ohio in an address before the National
Conference of Charities and Corrections
here this rooming.
"The Cleveland chamber or commerce"
said Mr. Strong "Is concerned with
ivprr movement for the betterment of
Cleveland for the uplift of its citizens
from a commercial civic or social
standpoint and it is therefore as much
a chamber of citizenship as it is a
chamber of commerce. The chamber has
in Its relation to the charity of the city
Essumed as a fundamental principle that
the charity which receives Its support
from the public Is in a sense a public
Institution and that ihe public has a
right therefore to know its method
and to demand its conformity with an
accepted standard of eflciency.
"Fully 80 percent of the money whict-
is collected each year for the support
of Cleveland's charitable organizations
Is given by the members of the cham-
ber of commerce or their families. The
chamber in recognition of its responsl-
bilitv therefore has assumed super-
vision of the charitable organizations
of Cleveland. Because certain of the
wiser contributors of Cleveland recog-
nized the existence of a misconception
of the standards of charity a committee
on 'Benevolent Associations of the
chamber "was appointed.
The Commitee's Work.
"Because members of this committee
discovered the existence of institutions
which would rather give to an unwor-
thy recipient a Sunday dinner a thous-
and times over than let him oreak the
Sabbath day by working for it' and be-
cause they found organizations which
believed in 'giving to whomsoever asks
and whatever he asks and leaving it to
the good Lord in heaven to see to it
that it does him good the committee
has continued its efforts and broadened
v.o crnni of its endeavor. As funda-
mental principles for an effective 1

the following requirements before en-
dorsement is granted:
"1 The organization shall fill a need
not already well filled by existing or-
ganization and not capable of being
thus filled.
2 The need shall be relatively great
enough to warrant the equipment and
support of a separate institution.

All Candidates for Office
In El Paso.
FOEEIGN LABOR
QUESTION IS UP
The unions of El Paso are going into
politics. The Central Live Wire club is
the nameof their organization backed
by the Central Labor union.
The club plan was reported upon by
a committee of the members from each
of the 16 different unions in the city at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Central Labor union Monday evening
and unanimously adopted by that body.
The plan will now be passed upon by
each of the 17 labor unions in the city
and if they pass upon it favorably as
it seems they will the political club
will be a working machine ready for
business.
The Live Wire club will act only
negatively in politics according to the
bylaws of the organization; mat is n
will not come out publicly in support
of any candidate for any office but will
tViT-mich channels provided for inestl-
gate the records of each candidate of- 1
ferine- himself for office and among
themselves and In secret pass unfavor-
ably on the candidate or candidates
deemed unfriendly to labor interests.
The Reason.
The politcal club owes its inception
to the recent and current blacksmiths'
trouble with the city and the question
of chean labor being passed over the
international line of the United States
and Mevico. The avowed objects of
the club are to use its influence to
have only union labor employed in the
nnTnenT nf thfi citv and county gov-
I ornments to use the voting power xY the
. J club to give union ana nome ciun m-
bor preference on all occasions ana. to
Investigate and report on all who de-
viate from the home labor principle. The
organization is secret and no lawyer.

for office or officer either elective or

stated membership being confined exclusively-
to members of labor unions
who have paid their poll tax a poll tax
receipt being a necessary exhibit to
4i0 rrxniintfon for membership. Mem-
bers will be received however if they
declare In good faith that they intend
paying poll tax for the next election.
The Platform.
Following is the platform of the club:
"Whereas Certain employing inter-
ests recognize no principle of right or

to the detriment of the families of the

chants the city and state.

the workers to unite upon political
lines as well as economic for the pur-

Mr. Samuel Gompers esq. president

4I desire to acknowledge the receipt of
jour letter of the 2Sth instant quoting
a copy of the preamble and resolutions
unanimously adopted by the Texas
State Federation of Labor at Galves-
ton April 12-16 1910 in reference to
the admission vof Mexican aliens to the
United States under conditions which
give rise to the belief that the immi-
gration laws are being violated.
In response thereto I beg to state
that the subject matter of your above
acknowledged letter has heretofore
been brought to the attention of the
bureau by the supervising inspector at
El Pasc Tex. who has had immediate
jurisdiction over all immigration mat-
ters for the Mexican boundary as far
west as the southern border of Cali-
fornia. ; An Investigation.
Plans were made several months ago
to detail an officer especfally skilled in
such matters to go into the subject
thorouguhly as soon as the spring sea-
son opened. This detail was authorized
on March 25 and information has just
been received to the effect that good
results are being accomplished' and that
pthe prospects are excellent for sup
pressing the efforts of labor employ-
ment agents whose activities are be-
lieved Jto be fundamentally responsible
for the( conditions heretofore existing.
As soon as a complete report is re-
ceived I will be pleased to communicate
with you further and trust that you may
find the time to call and we will go
over the subject together. Respectfully
yours

of particular interest In connection
with the visit here of a member of
the board and a number of special
agents of the insurance compa'nle:
No Intentlom to Raise Rates.
"Austin Ter. May 24.
"Editor El Paso Herald:
"In addition to your telegTam ire be
to advise that the policy of the board
Is that the people are entitled to its
low an average rate throughout tlie
state as has been heretofore paid.
"The lnsprance representatives have
stated to us that the new schedule of
rates which they have filed with us
will produce in their estimation the
same average rate as they have fce-
tofore collected.
"The board has not waited for the
citizens to file complaints but have
busied themselves Investigating and
comparing the old rates and new rates
all over the state with the view of as-
certaining If the contentions of the in-
surance representatives are correct. It
Is a well known fact that prior to Janu-
ary 1st. a great deal of discrimination
In Insurance rates had been prevalent
the companies granting exceedingly
low rates in some Instances but main-
taining much higher rates in many
other Instances. The effect of sched-
ule rating under this law will be to
equalize the insurance burden and to
give the town and the citizens wltl
the best protected and best buildings
.a reasonable rate without the necsslty
of the policy holder going from one
agent to another for the purpose of
getting competitive rates. The com-
panies in many instances permitted un-
reasonably low rate3 because they cal-
culated on collecting much higher rate
from the average Insurer.
"The investigations made by thv
board to date indicate that 90 percent
of the dwelling risks have been re-
duced and that the reduction amount t
to about 20 percent of the old rate. A
sufficient number of mercantile rates
have not been issued "oy the insurance
companies actuary to make a com
parison with the former mercantile
rates.
No Abase To Be Allowed.
"This board intends that the law
shall not be used as the means for th
companies to collect an excessive in-
surance rate from any class of busi-
ness and. whereas the dwelling rates
have apparently been reduced it should
not be an excuse for unjustifiably high
mercantile rates.
"Any one who gives serious thought
to this subject will realize that the
board has a monumental task on Its
hands in adjusting the rates under the
new conditions and that it will tako
a great deal of time and hard work to
settle the various questions wiich
arisei
"It Is the intention of the hoard
that each citizen shall be treated fair-
ly in this matter whether he com-
plains or not. and that no one shall
be put to any expense in making his
complaint to the board.
