NOVEL LABOR ENTERPRISE.
Commission for the Unemployed Created
by Law in Switzerland.

Commission for the Unemployed Created
by Law in Switzerland.
Eugene German, United States consul at
Berne. has sent to the Department of State an
account of the workings of a novel enterprise
there, being commission Of the unemployed
created by law.
A committee OF seven. made up of represent
atives of the labor unions, employers, and the
municipal government, undertake to provide
employment for subscribers out OF work or to
maintain them when awaiting employment.
Subscribers when working pay cents per
month dues.
There is also an appropriation of 81 900
from the city council and charitable subscrip-
tions. Subscribers out of work for two weeks
ara entitled to benefits ranging from 20 to 80
cents per day, about equal there in purchas-
ing power to our dollar here.
Benefits are paid only TO persons innocently
out of employment, and persons leaving their
WORK willfully and without just cause are de-
barred from benefits. Comfortable head
quarters were provided, at which the unem-
ployeI report twice daily and may make
themselves comfortable. The counsel gives
other details of the system, which he says is
satisfactory in its results to the authorities
and the citizens. One feature worthy of men,
ton is that every member accepted work
promptly when provided for by the associa-
tion. thus ceasing at once to be an unnecessary
burden.

Prediction That the Measure Will Be Pre-
pared Within Week.


Such smooth sailing marked the first meeting
yesterday of the subcommittee of the House
Committee on Commerce appointed TO frame

fed in predicting that the measure will be pre-
pared within a week.
Several points were agreed on. Although

plan Will furnish the foundation for the Dill,
which provides for the usual method OF raising
funds by means Of n bond issue.
IL WIS practically decided that the govern
ments share of bonds shall be s70.0G0,000. The
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, or the amount TO pc
issued TO the maritime company, was not dis
cnssed. The members agreed TO insert in tho

isfy the Secretary of the Treasury that all out
standing debts or contracts have been Cancelled

The government will guarantee the funds with
which to settle the affairs of the present COM

SILVER DEMOCRATS PLATFORM
1t Has Been Unofficially Agreed Upon by
Representatives for Use by Con

Representatives for Use by Con
grcssional Conventions.
A platform has been unoficially agreed
upon by a number of Democratic silver MEM
bers OF the House of Representatives, as ex-
pressive Of their views. and as likely to COM
mend itself to congressional conventions as
concisely stating the silver, tariff, and other
issues. The purpose is to have conventions
adopt uniform planks on these subjects. The
platform is as follows:
ave, the Democrats of -, district of -,
in convention assembled, renew our devotion 10
Democratic principles. Thomas Jefferson de-
clared the fundamental principles of our party
when he wrote in the Declaration of lndepend-
ence that all men are created equal that they
arc endowed with certain unalienable rights
and to secure these rights governments are in
stituted among men,, and that they derive their
Just powers from the consent of the govorned;
and we are in favor OF the prompt and courage
Gus application of these great principles TO
present conditions and to the settlement of
pending questions in accordance with these
principles.
1--WE are in favor of tariff for revenue only. and
indorse the Wilson bill as it passed the House "a
the nearest approach to such a tariff attainable
at this time
1--WE are in favor of the income tax as n per-
manent part of our fiscal system, and welcome
it a step toward the restoration Of equality in
taxation.
"We are in favor of the immediate restora-
ton OF the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the present ratio without waiting tor the aid
or consent of any other nation on earth
1--WE believe that all paper money should be
issued by the general government, and should
be made a full legal tender for all debts pub
lie and private, and that hereafter no contracts
for a particular kind of money should be per-
mitted.
Ave are in favor of tho election of United
States Senators by direct vote OF the people.

NEW YORK, June 14.-The professional operat-

weapon of attack As against Sugar IT was

of the insiders had already unloaded having
seen danger ahead. The pressure 10 sell the

up almost steadily TO the close.
There were occasional rallies, but at each re-
covery fresh stock came out and the quotations
fell of, until shortly before the close 81. the low

selling on the part OF those who. having bought
at much lower figures than are now current, de-
sired to realize.

felt shortly after the opening, which was at an

populists to Support a Wool Du,y.

The Populists of the Senate-Allen, PETER,
Kyle. and Stewar.-held several conferences
during yesterday upon the subject OF free
wool. ani the four have decided to vote for
the PETER amendments giving wool 5 or G
cents Il pound protection. If all the Repub-
licans should vote the same way two Demo-
cratic woes would be necessary to carry it.
Il is not probable these could be found. Five
or six Democrats would probably be willing
TO vote for duty on wool, but fear that such
an act might upset the entire agreement to
stand by the bill Of the Finance Committee.
