/ LLE Ell RI -
fhe Great Plan Of Baron Gustaf Raab
Of Sweden.
Insurance against poverty on a ma
tional scale is the dream Of Baron Gus
tai Raab, formerly an officer in the
Swedish army. He has worked on his
Ideal for yer thirty years. and expects
to have the plan in operation within a
very few years. It is an immense un-
dertaking,, but Baron Raab Is no idle
dreamer, and has interested all Sweden
In his system. which is Endorsed by the
king, many of the influential people of
Sweden and the larger organizations Of
workingmen.
The plan is for a system Of pensions,
to be paid out Of q fund, to which the
government will appropriate literally,
but the bulk Of which will be raised by
assessments on thotk likely to become
public charges when they reach an adj
vanced age. The, Pensioners will be d.
vided into three flasses: First, desti-
tute people overa&he age Of sixty years;
second, invalid49 between fifteen and
sixty years; third, dependent orphan
children ~undeEA4fteen years. 1t is hoped
that aged people may be paid an annual
pension Of 300 kroner.
Only the preliminary work has been
done. Only when Baron Raab retired
from the army, five years ago, was he
able to devote himself wholly to his
cherished work. His first task was to
gather statistics and to arouse a public
Interest in hi{ movement. I n this he
has been signaHHsAsuccessful. Travelling
over the c~ountEyyIand visiting the poor
authorities in Hafes and in the country
districts, he ha4stollected and tabulated
q mass Of valuable statistics. A popu-
lar committee was appointed through a
movement headed by the big societies
Of workingmen Of Stockholm and Goth.
borg, and participated in by hundreds
Of societies and civil organizations. The
work has now advanced SO far thai the
committee hopes, by next fall, to sub
nit a definite proposition to the govern
ment. It will be in such shape that the
government can submit 1t to the riks-
dag next year. AS 1t Is likely to have
the undivided support Of the people, no
doubt is expressed regarding its adop-
ZION.
The fund to be raised will be wholly
Under government control. Monthly as
sessments are to be exacted, and 1t will
be the duty Of employers to see that
they are PAID. II they are not, the en-
lployers will he allowed to withhold the
amount from their wages. II employers
neglect this duty the sum Is to be ex-
acted from them./
It is estimated that the pensions will
amount to about 2O,00o,0 900 kroner a
year, Of which 100000 will be appro-
priated by the state. Baron Raab Is OF
the opinion that an assessment of so to

afternoon at 5 o'clock just of New

and sunk in less than twenty minutes.
She lies in about forty feet Of water

Making Their Escape.
The passengers were employees Of the
bury, Conn. About one-half of them
were women and children. The excur-

had a.good time taking in the sights.
The boat started back for South Nor

going up the sound at q good pace
when just off Fort Slocum the passen-
gers felt a sudden jar. They did not
pay much attention to the shock until
the steam from the boiler room came
rushing up from below. Then the boat
began to pound, and q shout went up
from the lower decks that she .
struck a rock.
A Panic Was On. =.
BY this time everybody aboard real
