Labor's Cooperative Policy 171 tric Company, remarked at the convocation of New York University in 1928 that there “seems to be periods in the world’s history when the imagination of man flowers into production; curiously enough, it always has a relation to business and profits.” Thanks to health research and improved hygienic practices, Mr. Young said, plagues are today unknown that in past years wiped out in a single season a sixth to a quarter of London's population. The time of such ravages from disease is past. Periodic health ex- aminations among groups of workers are a powerful instrument for accelerating this process. Doctor James E. Kavanagh, Vice President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, speaking at the convention of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents in 1928, said that group insurance is a leaven working through the nation’s industry to effect “greater codperation between employer and em- ployee, reduction of labor turnover, increased protec- tion of employees against death, sickness, accident and old age; increased thrift and increased effort for better health and working conditions. . . . It is because of its economic advantages that group in- surance has spread so rapidly in America. The insurance companies have, in effect, applied the prin- ciples of production engineering to merchandizing their goods. Labor profits from good management which considers the welfare of the employee and re- sults in steady employment of wages of high purchas- ing power.”
