Speaker. this month. the Workmens Benefit Fund of the United States of America celebrated its 26th quadrennial convention in New York City. Since its founding in 1884. the Workmens Benefit Fund has demonstrated the kind of humanitarian ideals and progressive thinking that are attributed to great individuals or organizations which history records as ahead of their time. When a few German immigrants banded together in those early years to provide each other with security In times of illness or death. the concepts of health insurance and death benefits for the workingman and his family had not taken root in American society. Today it is unthinkable that these benefitsand many more. endowed both by Government and businessshould not exist. What this organization has accomplished in the lat 83 years is nothing less than revolutionary.
