WILL TEST DRAFT LAW Appeal As Vehicle for Questioning Constitu- Eqmma Goldman to Use tionality of Conscription Measure. | New York, July 31.—Emma Gold- man announcsas that the appeal of her case to the United States supreme court will be made the eccasion of a legal battle to test the constitutional- ity of the conscription law. She said that in addition to $47,000, which is being raised as bail for radicals now in prison on charges similar to those upon which she and Alexander Berk- | man were convicted, a ‘“national fund” is being created by radicals and others “to employ the best legal talent | in ‘the land for the supreme court | test.” ! “Support is coming to us from all | over the country,” said Miss Gold- | man. “Sums ranging from $1 to larg- q¢ amounts are coming from many people who are not anarchists, but | who are anxious that we shall ex- | rress for them their opposition to the dréft law. The cases of Berkman and myself, when they come before the ./ supreme court, will involve a decision on the constitutionality of the law, and we will call this to the attention of all persons interested in the re- peal of the law. “We are confident that we will get people who have been inarticulate or | whe, have been holding themselves in | ¢ the background on this question to disclose their opposition to it. Those mothers who are cognizant of _the tragedies soon to be enacted in their homes by th2 drafiing of their sons will be with us heart and soul. “While the case is on in Washing- ton, mass meeings will be held in vari- ous parts of the country, at which re- ports of the progress of the case will be publicly discussed.” WAR M U AT SCHOOL.

Niles e Scovill PLAN INSURANGE IN 185 102 52 33 86 101 JUSTICE T0 TROOPS Soldiers and Dependents Will Be Far Happier Washington, July 31.—For the first time in the the United States a concerted effort on govern- mental initiative is now being made to provide adequate and scientific fi- nancial protection for the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy and for their dependents. Instead of proceeding along the old course of fighting a war first and car- ing afterward for injured soldiers and history of | sailors and the families of those kill- ed the government is now at the very outset of America’s entry into the war laying plans for insuring and indem- nifying its fighting men. As a result of more than a month’s constant and intensive study a plan will soon be presented to congress for consideration which, if adopted. will give the men who go to the front the comforting assurance that they will be cared for should they be \\'oungzd, and that their dependents will receive adequate protection should they be | killed. i This plan is intended to take the place of the pension system so far as concerns men and women engaged in the present war. It is based upon the fundamenta] idea that the govern- ment should, as a matter of justice, protect its soldiers and sailors, and their dependent families, and should do this with due regard for conditions as they exist today. Aid Investigation in Progress. Workmen's compensation laws, pension laws in the United States and foreign countries, insurance practice, ! and other related questions have been investigated during the preparation of the pians. and as a result information will be presented to congress which it is hoped will lead to the enactment of legislation both just and human. The necessity for such legislation is admittedly more pressing in this war than in any other to which the United States was a party, because at the outset the government had adopt- ed a selective draft system. Men are now being picked for service at the front by the government. It is gener- ally admitted that under such condi- tions the government has a solemn duty to perform to those selected. In the preparation of the plans shortly to be submitted to congress there has been cordial co-operation between several government depart- ments and agencies, and organiza- tions.. Seldom has there been a more thorough study of a question in an effort to solve a vexing problem. Inasmuch as the bureau of war risk insurance of the treasury department is already insuring masters, officers and seamen of American merchant- men and also the hulls and cargoes, President Wilson asked Secretary McAdoo several weeks ago to inves- tigate the question, and the Council of National Defense also took up the problem through the committee on labor of its advisory commis headed by Samuel Gomper: Jabor. Judge Julian W. Mack, Fred- erick T. Hoffman, James W. van, James Lord, and F. Spencer Baldwin, constituting the section on compensation for enlisted men and their dependents of the labor com- mittee have performed invaluable work in the preparation of plans. As- sistance has also been given by Ed- win F. Sweet. assistant secretar Am Hosiery Co 93 commerce, Captain-S. H. Wolfe, rep- Sulli- | MEMBERS NEW YORK TEL. 2040. Richter&Co.

Little, chairman of | the federal clvil employes’ compen- sation board. The experience and knowledge of insurance men of the country was early sought by Secretary McAdoo, and out of more than 100 represen- tatives of different companies who attended a conference called by the secretary on July 2 in Washington grew a committee of 12 insurance men, who studied the problem and submitted a comprehensive report to the secretary. McAdoo Pushing Insurance. Inasmuch as a portion of Ameri- ca’s army is already in France, a part of its fleet is in European waters, and many more soldiers and sailors | and marines are in training, Secre- tary McAdoo has striven to push the | preparation of plans with all possible | speed in the hope that congress may pass the necessary legislation during the present session. The plans under consideration are hased upon the now generally ac- cepted idea that payments on account of soldiers and sailors killed or in- jured in service should depend in a measure upon the number of people dependent upon him. It is plainly | evident that this course should followed. In general it is intended that pro- vision be made for the support of de- pendents of soldiers and sailers by | giving them an allotment of the pay | of the men and also an allowance from the government, that officers | and men be indemnified against death or total or partial disability; that a system of rehabilitation and reeduca- tion of disabled men be inaugurated; and that the government insure the lives of soldiers and sailors. The new system would be adminis- | tered by the bureau of war risk insur- ance of the treasury department, which is already writing war risk in- surance on masters, officers and crews of American merchant vessels and on American hulls and cargces. Dependents of soldiers and sailors in service would be provided for through allotments from their pay, supplemented by family allowances by the government. The amount of the gzovernment allowance would de- pend upon the size of the family, and, as to others than the wife and chil- dren, upon the actual dependency | upop the men. The family allowance | would b2 made only if the soldier or sallor makes an allotment for his de- pendents out of his oay. The risk of death or disability would be compensited for somewhat on the analogy of workmen’s com- pensation acts, with the compen: | tion measured by the men’s services the size of the families, and the loss to the family, Pairtial disabilities would be compsnsated for upon a percentage of the compensation for total disability. The cost cf this com- pensation’ naturally must be paid wholly by the government. In addition to direct compensation to take the place of pensions, the plan in contempation would go further and establish an insurance system by the government under which our soldiers and sailors could obtain insurance at premium rates based upon the mor- tality experience tables of peace times. The excess cost due to increased mor tality and disability war ris should | clearly be borne by the government, and the cost of administering the in- surance department for the benefit of the nation’s fighting men is also a proper governmental charge. The tentative plans would provide for the | issuance to officers and men §in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $10,- 000, with provision for payments in | installments. Death or total disabll- be | usefulness either in their former some other vocations, This new idea proposes to imp on the public treasury the obligat of indemnifying justly the men have entered, or are about to ent] the army or navy to fight in the cal of liberty. With our men on the o of France and hundreds of thousal of others about to enter the service their country, the question is one justice and fairness and the pl should be as libeeral as it is possi! for a just and generous republic make.
