Money deyoted to making provision for sickness and supplementing compensation payments to victims of accidents would be a solid investment yielding dividends to both the mine com- panies and their employees.

A stag dinner should be given in a man's bachelor quarters or The latest demand on the part of Lewis brings the matter more into the open. It is certain that should Lewis succeed, the scheme would spread to every form of business. A 7 per cent payroll deduction is not a small figure. This added to the deductions for social security, unemployment compensation, work- men’s compensation deductions or insurance premiums, license taxes, Federal income taxes, sales taxes and the employers who contribute 2 per cent of their weckly payrolls to the insurance fund. Insurance programs of this kind have much to type of insurance will at no distant date, we hope, be expanded to cover sickness and permanent dis- ability, making private provision for such contingencies less urgent. However, the scale of payments under comprehensive compulsory social insurance systems is necessarily restricted in amount; there will always be room for supplementary payments by concerns able to meet part or all of the cost of additional insurance for their employees. It is therefore unfortunate— to put it mildly—that the tactics of John L. Lewis and of that rival labor czar, James C. Petrillo, have created justified apprehension concerning the ulti- employers from excessive demands that could only be met by shifting the cost of such impositions to the public by charging higher prices for their products.
