LIABILITY ACT FOR
 GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

Washington. August lo.-Regula- tions carrying into effect the law pass ed at the last session of Congress. com monly known as the government en- ployes liability act, which went into effect on August 1. have been promul- gated by Secretary Strauss. of the Department of CoI3merce and Labor. The new regulations were prepared for the guidance of officials and employees in the government service.
 A rough estimate places the numb Der of employees who come within the pro- visions of the law at about 75,000. Un- der previous laws, compensation in case of injury is paid to employees in the railway mail and life saving Ser- vices. The new law applies to persons employed by the government as arti- sans or laborers in arsenals; navy yards; river and harbor construction; fortihcstion construction, hazardous employment in the reclamation ser vice, namely, in construction and in control and management of works; hazardous employment under the 18th milan canal commission and govern ment manufacturing establishments.
 The regulations state:
 Compensation will be paid under this act only for such injuries to an employe as occurred in the course of his employment and cause in ability to pursue his employment for more than fifteen days. Compensation is not paid if the Injury is due to the negligence or misconduct of the emp1oye injured. The act applies only to injuries re- ceived on or after the first of the present month.
 "The compensation consists of a con tinuance during the period of disability but not over one year, of the same pay which the employe was receiving at the time of the Injury. If the ern- ploye Is killed by the accident or dies from the results of the injuries receiv- ed and leaves a widow or children mn- der Is years of age or dependent par ents. the same amount of compenaa- tion is paid to these dependent rela- tives until the completion of twelve months period"
 Reports of all accidental injuries to government employees. regardless of the application of this act have been requested from all government estab- lishments and offices.

strike of 1894 when Birmingham rner- chants paid money into the treasury of the strikers. Mir. Farley continued:
 '-rhe miners are striking for living wages and better conditions of employ ment similar to what obtains to other states. Every class of the community Is organized. even the merchants. and 1t Is a matter of easy proof that the cost of living is higher in the Birm- ingham district than in any other state in the union, where the lowest wages are being paid. When 1t comes to<the miners organizing they are told that they must not organize on penalty of discharge.
 "The selling price of pig Iron, ac- cording to the Birmingham press, has averaged s11.50 since January and it is still going higher, proving beyond question that our contention that the reductions made at the open shop mines were unwarranted. We recognize that there Is great third party. whose rights and interests should be consid- forts this third party has made to bring the two sides together? I have not seen or heard of any effort being made in that direction by them. The only interference they have made is to call for more troops and we are told. in the morning paper, that cer- tain officers should be driven out of the state If they would apply them- selves to some reasonable solution of this unfortunate dispute instead of in- flaming the public mind some good might result therefrom. We are not going to be forced to work because some one else's interests are injured The miner has some liberties left yet"

A SIMPLE WEDDING
PRESIDENT FALLIERIEs, DAuGH-
 TER MARRIEs IN PARIS.
Becomes the Bride of John Jean Joseph Edward Lanes, the Presi- deat's secrezary--A Memsr-
 able Social Event.

Paris, Aug. 1o.--As . sequence to the separation of Church and State In France. and incidentally because of the mourning of the bridegroom. the mar riage today of Madeleine Anne Marie Fallieres, daughter of the president of Joseph Edwerd Lanes. the presidents secretary, was not attended with the special briliiancy which one would ex- pect to inbellish the nuptiaie of the daughter of the president of France.
 Nevertheless. the function was q me- morable social event for all France. ir- respective of rank or situation in life. showed warm. genuine interest. evil dencing the sincere affection in which President Failieres is held by the peo- pie of France.
 The wedding was striking for its simplicity. The marriage party drove to the city hall of the Elyse Palace Arr rondissement where. In an artistic bow CT of plants, daisies, and white hydran- geas and in the presence of Premier Clemenceau and other members of the cabinet and government officials. they were legally united by Mayor Roger Allou. who graced the occasion by a dainty discourse Of feiicitations.
 The marriage was blessed by a nup- tial mass at the church of the Made laine, where q great crowd had assem- bled. The bride in q costume of white satin with white tulis yelling, made an impressive picture as she mounted the high steps on the arm of her fath- CT and walked up the main aisle to the altar. Foreign Minister Pichon and Minister of Marine Thomson were pres ent. but there was no large official dele gation in attendance owing to the fact that all French officials who were con- cerned in the adoption of the law pro. viding for the separation of church and state, have been ex-communicated There was a large attendance of the members of the diplomatic corps. how ever, who were present with their Rann- iiies and friends. Among the diplo- mats was Henry White, the American ambassador. The choir rendered Q beautiful program.
 The wedding breakfast was served at the Elise Palace, The bride receiv- ed many rare, priceless gifts.
 The church of the Madeiaine was not especially decorated for the occasion and no special ceremony was arranged. One of the curates said mass and the pastor. Father Rtviero. gave the beEae- dictlon. No discourse was pronounced.
