AM ERICAN OLD AGE PENSIONS.

At the meeting of the American Federation of Labor the question of securing old-age pension legislation from congress has received some at tention, and bill providing for the establishment of an industrial home guard has been drawn It is realiz- ed that our constitutional system pre- sents serious if not insuperable ob- stacles to such direct and frank old age pension legislation as has been enacted in England and is proposed in France. But there are those who believe that in some indirect way a pension system for industrial veter- ans may be established.
 While this matter is being consider ed by organized labor the federal gov ernment is studying the problem of superannuation in the civil service, and Secretary Macveagh intimates that he will have some pension sug- i gestionsI to make in his first report. States and municipalities are wrest- ling with pension problems for civil employees, either designed to extend
 existing systems, or else to cover new classes Of employees.
 As regards private or quasi-public industry, the old-age pension move
 ment is steadily and by no means
 slowly gaining ground without the
 spur of legislation. The New York Central lines, it is announced. are
 about to put into effect an old-age pension system for all of their en-
 pIoy that reach the age of 70. Manu-
 featuring companies, banks and other ! concerns have adopted the pension ' feature as guaranty of greater eff
 ciency and zeal. Security for old age
 after a life of honest industry is as necessary as it is just, and where leg islation is out of the question self-in. ,, terest and breadth of mind should
 lead to practical measures for such ' =-aauIily en voluntary basis.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS AND LIABILITY.

An able commisson, appointed by Governor Hughes, is now sitting in New York and taking testimony on the question of industrial accidents and the existing law as to employers liability for injuries sustained by workmen. The hearing has already developed a remarkably strong, en- Hghtened sentiment in favor of fairer and sounder compensation legislation. Even moderate lawyers agree that the old doctrines in regard to contrib utcry negligence, fellow servants and the voluntary assumption of risks by employment-seeking persons. whether anything is said about risk or not, are irrational and unjust.
 The existing system practically places the whole burden of industrial accidents on labor. Even where em ployers are held Iiable,owing to theil clear responsibility for the injury, the laws delay withhold compensation from the victims for many years-ir some cases forever, for men are nor tai. As a result of the injustice, self respecting workmen become teggars paupers, drunkards.
 The modern theory is that the cos of industrial accidents should be pal: neither by employees nor employers but by industry. That is to say, eacl trade or industry should consider com nensation for injuries-and at bes they are unavoidable-as part of th' cost of production" and charge it or Che consuming public. Of course. th' employer pays in the first instance as in England. where an act for "uai versaI compensation" has been In ei feet for about decade. But the em ployers insure themselves against thi'
Bisbee daily review., 1909-11-19

burden with accident companies. and small premiums amply protect them.
 In the United States such legisla- ton may not be constitutional, but 1t is possible to modify the doctrines of the common law and get rid of much of the wrong and cruelty which they beget. The federal employers liability law points the way. for it abolishes the fellow servant rule. the assumption of risk theory and other suryivals. ContFibutory negligence is no bar to recovery of damages under it. though 1t may affect the amount of the damages awarded.

An idea of what the Panama canal construction means to one industry in this country may be gleaned from the fact that almost million tons of ce- nent will be used in the gigantic work Shipments have already begun in steamers owned by the government which will carry about S00.O00 tons at a tip. It is estimated that it will take about four years to deliver the 4,S00, GOO barrels of cement contracted for at the present rate of shipment. The government will profit by using it's own vessels instead of chartered ships, as there will be no charges for demurrage in case loading or unload ing is delayed by storms.

The atrocities of Mulai Hafid. the sultan of Morocco, towards the prison CTS taken in the fight with Fl Roghi
 tthe pretender) have lost him the ser vices of Kaid Belton, the Englishman appointed to the command of the Moorish troops Is months ago. The sultan set great store by Kaid Belton
 and tried to make him consider his decision to resign, but the latter de- cIined to remain. In an interview re- gently Kaid Belton said it was impos- sible for him to acquiesce in the in human methods of Mulai Hafid "On the last official paarde which I attend ed in Fez,' he said, "93 human heads were held up before the sultan on the ends of rifles. Later in the same day 20 of Fl Roghi's officers had their right hands cut off at the wrist. The hands were taken to Mulai Hafid on a tray, as proof that his orders had been carried out. The stumps when the hands are cut of are steeped in a cauldron of boiling oil not, you un- derstand, by way of further torture. but simply to stop the bleeding Well, I never heard so much as a whimper from single one of those men. That in itself was hardihood enough: but that is not all One prisoner, having stretched out his right arm and sui. fered the mutilation, walked over to the cauldron of oil, which was placed On a fire. The man had a cigarette between his lips, and while the stump
