A Report ON the German system Of Insur.
Ing Laborers.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-United States
Consul.General German at Zurich,
Switzerland. has sent to the state do.
partment report upon the operation
Of Germany's law for the insurance Of
laborers against sickness, accident and
old age, which has now been In opera.

there has been paid on account
Of this insurance since the law went
into effect $4a7, 500, 600, tho govern.
ment, the employers and the EN-.
ployes sharing the expense. He men
tions the fact that the German In.
dustrials complain Of the heavy tax
involved in the payment Of the In.
surance, but the report indicates that
the nation Is, as . whole, proud Of the
institution. The Germans are the
pioneers In this class Of insurance, but
Austria has partially followed suit and
Switzerland Is now engaged In for
mulating labor insurance law. Mr..
German says that Sweden and Nor

A C0i0rsd Clergyman Gets Judgment fol
nelng Put Out OF Pullman.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 24-Thomas
W. Cain, negro clergyman, secured a
Judgment against the Pullman Palace
Car Co. and the international & Great
Northern Railway Co. in the district
court yesterday. Cain purchased a
first-class railway and Pullman ticket
at st. Louis to Galveston. On arriving
at Troupe, Tex, he was compelled ia
leave the sleeper and ride In the apart
ment in the day coach set apart for
negroes For this indignity he brought
suit for $4,000 damages. The court In
charging the jury held that the com.
panies, having sold Cain first-class
ticket, entered into contract with
him 10 give him Pullman passage
through to Galveston, and having as.
sumed this obligation, 1t was the duty
Of the companies to provide accommo-
dations for him equal in every respect
to those furnished the white race.
This was the law laid down In the
separate coach act of the Texas code.
Railroad men say that the effect Of
this verdict will be that Texas lines
will advise their connections not to
sell through tickets over Texas roads
with Pullman passage beyond the
state line.
