OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Various Systems In Vogue Abroad.
Germany the Pioneer.
The subject of old age pensions in
vestigation by Republican Congress-
man Lundin Of Illinois. He finds that
Germany was the pioneer in the move
ment with a law passed in 1889 and
perfected ten years later. which COW
ers 25 per cent of the population and
is compulsory in some instances. The
pensions run up to $3.50 per year.
according to class and weekly premium
paid. Beyond seventy years of age no
incapacity need be shown to insure
the beneficiary his or her pension.
In 1891 Denmark enacted law
granting pensions to all persons up
ward of sixty-five years. with certain
limitations as to residence, health and
record of citizenship. From 1897 to
1908 laws were passed in New Zealand
which granted pensions to all reaching
the age of sixty-five. and to all who
are without a minimum competence
and can show twenty-five years of
honorable residence the government
pays $3.50 weekly.
In 1900 Belgium adopted what is call
ed an insurance annuity and national
iy sustained pension act. Under it an
nuities are granted according to age
and amount of premium paid. Pen
sions are paid to all over sixty-fve
years under certain prescribed condi-
tons of want and disability.
In Italy. France and Austria systems
of annuities and pensions are in op-
Grafton. In these countries old age re-
lief is recognized as an institution of
worth. Australia perhaps presents the
best example of growth and moderni-
cation Of the old age pension scheme.
The general plan there includes pen
sions to men over sixty-fve and wo-
men over sixty at the rate Of $3.50 and
81 respectively week. Restrictions
as to income, residence and character
most effectively surround the applica-
ton of the law.
England after years OF considera-
ton adopted an old age pension law in
in 1903 which declares all persons
over the age of seventy years pen
sionable If they measure up to the re-
quirements as to income. habits. char
acter. etc. The amounts paid run
from 25 cents to SIPS per week. Can
ada in the same year passed an an
nuity law which permits persons over
the age of fifty-fve to draw from $50
to 5000 per year. The Canadian sys-
tenn is purely government insurance
proposition and entirely dependent on
premiums. and as step toward max
ing provision for old age a matter Of
governmental registration it is encour-
aging.

Garment FINISHING,

Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant writing
in McClure's declares that garment
finishing is the worst type of tenement
work" She continues:
"Ninety-five per cent of the so called
home finishing In New York city is
done by Italians. A days wages for
the united work of family do not
usually exceed TO or 70 cents in this
trade; they may be much less. but are
never much more. The work varies
from pulling bastings-this is usually
the task of the babies-and sewing hut
tons. to putting IN Innings of coats and
trousers. sewing in sleeves and blind
stitching the bottoms OF trousers. The
garments themselves vary from the
cheapest ready made goods to the
most expensive custom made goods;
for not only wholesale manufacturers.
but TO some degree fashionable tail
ors employ tenement labor. The in
dustry is chiefly carried on in one of
the most cOngested and insanitary
parts of New York-the Italian district

large families live and work on the
narrow edge Of starvation in very
small. dark. three roomed apartments.

German Trade Union Schools.

Germany is making great strides in
education. Those who were denied
opportunities in their youth are given
the privilege of attending night schools
conducted at the expense of trade
unions. and held for two hours each
night, There are over fifty of these
schools in Berlin. A college is located
in the Central Labor temple. Twelve
professors are engaged, and the at
tendance is limited to seventy. These
are sent by trade unions throughout
the empire and their expenses are
paid BY the unions. Three courses
are taught each year They are Of
six weeks duration each. and the
school continues In session SIX hours
each day, Trade union leaders are
tutored In political economy. socini
science. commercial law. the science Of
government and kindred subjects. The
Berlin university does not permit its
professors to teach in this college.

INDUSTRIAL DEPENDENCE.

The Clog That Hampers Solution of
the Labor Problem.
The Rev. Percy S. Grant has a
thoughtful article in the August issue
of the North American Review on
what the Workingmen Want" 1t is
a reflection upon socialism and de-
mocracy and links the two together
thus:
"A great deal Of what we call social
ism is only democracy getting its sec
ond wind. Disappointment at the re-
suits of political democracy was in
evitable The modern experiment Of

Toned workman is now an archaeolog-
zeal curiosity. Our skilled workmen
are dependent upon access to ma

liticaI independence and industrial de-
pendence cannot live together. The
same man cannot represent both with
out complaint and confusion. The
same country cannot contain both
without disrupting ebullitions. The

the human spirit as it is today. The

millions Of wage earners today
In Industrial dependence he finds the
main difficulty for employer and en-
ployee:
Industrial conditions do not repro
duce this relationship. The employer
and employee do not acknowledge iden-
tity of interest They treat each other
on the whole as enemies. Labor is a
commodity to be pure hased by cap
ital. How can you expect loyalty from
commodity? If one listens for any
length Of time to workingmen discus
sing these matters he discovers that
the way out of the difficulty is not an
1nsoluble conundrum.' but is a simple
and logical step. 1t is nothing less
than an application of self government
to industry

Ii you purchase partly union label
garments and partly garments without
