OLD AGE PENSIONS.
Trades Unions Working on the Problem
Of Wornont Members.

Trades Unions working on the Problem
Of Wornout Members.
The matter of old age pensions for
Buperannuated mechanics long has
been a subject OF trades union legisla-
ton. The British unions, which are
advanced much further in this respect
than those on this side Of the water. all
provide a pension fund which is devot-
ed to the care Of old members. One
English union, that Of the carpenters
and joiners. pays out annually over
100000 to its superannuated mem
bers. The combined pension allow
ances Of English trades unions almost
equal similar sums paid In sick and
death benefits by the same organiza-
lions. In this country the superannuat-
ed mechanic must shift for himself.
George w. Perkins, president Of the
cigarmakers' union, who is considered
one of the best informed union men IN
the country. says that practically no
progress has been made by American
unions in the matter of taking care of
superannuated members. He at
tributes this to the youth Of American
unions as compared to those Of Eng
land and the further fact that the
business OF organizing and maintain
fng unions has combined to keep
the American unionist's mind on other
things.
"All American unions recognize the
problem OF caring for their old and
wornout members" said Mr.. Perkins.
fand 1t Is only question Of time until
something win be done to establish the
pension system in vogue among the
British unionlsts. The American
plumbers have approximation bene-
ft which provides that members Of
twenty, twenty-five and thirty years
standing shall receive respectively
$500, $4O0 and $500 when they become
tncapacitated through old age The
fault of this plan is that superannuats
cd members may lose their allowance
In some unfortunate investment or be
compelled 70 spend the whole Of It TO
meet some emergency. The better
scheme would be to have uniform
weekly or monthly pension, which
could be given TO them regularly until
their death.
All unions are working on the prob
lem OF approximation, however, and
in a few years II is safe to predict
that American mechanics who are help
less through old age will have some
body TO look out for them. This APP
plies OF course to the union mechan
les. The nonunionists are hopeless.
John Fitzpatrick, president OF the
Chicago Federation Of Labor, believes
there VIII be less necessity for super
annuation benefits among union men
as the strength Of the unions compel
an increase IN wages. Given proper
wage during bis working years, the
average mechanic In this country, &C
cording to sfr. Fitzpatrick, WIN pro-
vide in advance for the years In which /
his earning capacity must decline

Others, several of whom cannot live,

public hall here Saturday afternoon.
There was great crush to secure
admittance to the entertainment, and
when the show opened every seat was
packed and the gallery was literally
packed with children, who filled the
aisles and were dangerously massed
against the lower railing.
With view to relieve this crowding
in the gallery the attendants decided to
transfer some of the children to the
body Of the house and one Of the ushers
called out:

lips 10 hers; their singing and dancing
stop, but the music geese on, and the
kiss lasts through four bars of the mu-
sic. The kissers are Edward Johnson
and Sophie Brandt, singers of note hith-
erto, but not players; so on the opening
night they may have been too anxious
about their art TO regard their personal
feeling: but the spectators made /, a
close study of the prolonged kiss. con-
jectured whether it was as realistic as
it looked to be, and mingled laughter
with the applause when Sophie fell
back from Edwards embrace in a
mock languOr of exhaustion.

There was no doubt of the realism of
an onion used i'm some ensuing fun
poked at the waltz kiss; it was Ibsen-
ian in ruthless truth to nature; it out
did the odor of the Hearnean turkey
dinner; il obliterated my noses recent
memory of Ethel Barrymore smoking
sandalwood in a fortune teller's sane
tum; for it was a Spanish onion of big,
rank growth; it was sliced thin and
slowly, and the smell of it came to me
in the sixth row of the parquet so
strongly that it must have reached the
rear of the top gallery. The bald
Charles Bigelow and the fat Josie Sad
Ter handled this onion and its incident
with resoIute devotion to dramatic art.
Bigelow played the rakish old prince
who slums at the restaurant where Jo-
sic Whacks a bass drum. She has an
insatiate hunger, andahe undertakes to
satisfy it, She asked for a salad with
a supper and herself peels and cuts up
the onion. / guess that an apple will
represent the onion henceforth; but on
Monday night an onion true and pun
gent made the tears of the two come
dams actual, and sent its smell power
fully across the fOotlights. The point
of the burlesque was that the odor of
the onion kept its eaters from putting
kiss of their own into the dream
waltz.
The first-night rush for "A Waltz
Dream" was tremendous, and after
the second of it's three acts the curtain
was lifted many times before the APP
plause lulled. The authors were across
the Atlantic, and so the audience called
for Joseph Herbert, who had rewritten
the play in English. The company was
in a state of excitement as it lined up
to make its ninth bow. No doubt each
principal felt that he, or she, was the
special object of reclamation; yet Bige-
low gra bbed Herbert and rushed him
forward at the same moment that the
prompter rang down the curtain. The
swiftly descending curtains weighted

Public kissing of anything like
soulful sort in crowded Broadway
would cause the arrest of the kissers
by the first policeman who came along;
but when Weldon, after experimenting
with half a dozen girls before an as
semblage separated from Broadway by
one brick wall only. finds the soul kiss
he seeks on the lips of Florence Hol-
brook, no raid is dreaded. The man
and the girl who kiss soulfully are the
Faust and Marguerite of Goethe's tale
as here fooled with by making Faust
q Paris sculptor who longs for warmth
rather than length of life. and Mar
guerite a grisette who poses in his stu
dio. They are on ordinary kissing
terms, with love involved, but the fell
low fancies that the right girl for him
to marry will be made known TO him
by a soul kiss" whatever that may
be- Mephistopheles promises million
to Marguerite at the end of a year, if
in the meanwhile he has been absolute-
ly true to her. and then devilishly
sends Faust from Paris to Monte Car
10 and New York in searched of his
yearned-for kiss of the soul. and
tempting him to accept various sam
plies as satisfactory. Finally Marguer-
ties kiss prevails. The writing of the
play by Harry b. Smith, and the tun-
ing by Maurice Levy, are not above the
average extravag anza, but the idea of
the extraordinary kiss helps a beauty
show to strike success high up pecuni-
arily, although the mOralists may
measure it as low down.
