Plan Of French Workmen's Pension.
The recent passing Of the workmen's
pension bill by the senate Of France
marks the end Of legislative strug-
gle extending more than four years
and of political agitation in France
reaching back to 1882. The plan in
wolves contributions from three sources
for the creation of the pension fund:
First. obligatory yearly contributions
from the wage Garner amounting to
$3.50 for men. $1.2O for women and IS
cents for minors: second. the contribu-
ton Of the employer. which equals
that of the wage Garner. and. third.
the contribution of the state.
Even the experts differ as to what
the latter will be, but the generally ac-
cepted figure Is $36.OOO,OO0 for the first
year. the amount decreasing until the
scheme works normally. when 1t will
be about $25.OOO.OOO. The beneficiaries
are to draw their pensions at the age
Of sixty-five or after thirty years Of
service, with certain diminutions for
advanced enjoyment.

investigation Will Be Made Of condi-
tions in Steel Plants.
The industrial situation IN the Steel
Works at South Bethlehem, Pa, is to
be investigated by the Social Ser
vice Commission of the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ In Amer
lea, which church comprises the unit
ed Protestant forces in the United
States, having eighteen million men,
bers and a constituency Of nearly
forty millions. The resolutions with
cial Service Commission and an out
line of its duties was published in the
Labor Press some time ago and it
will be remembered that reference
was made to it in the address which
l gave at the last convention of the
American Federation of Labor at To-
rontO.
This investigation is the first of It's
kind that has ever been undertaken
by any church body. It will have to
do very largely with the moral and
ethical principles involved In this
controversy but it will also invesu-
gate quite fully, the economic condi-
TORS which have brought about the
present situation. The report of the
commits sion will be presented to the
churches throughout the United
States and it will serve as basis for
future action with regard to indus
trial controversies.
1t can no longer be said that the
church is not interested IN the every
day affairs of the workingman. This
does not mean that 1t will always en-
dorse the position of the faborer, but
when he is right, the church should
stand by him in his controversy and
help him to win his battles.

SAFETY APPLIANCE LAW.
Makes Railroads Responsible For De.
fsctive Equipment.

Makes Railroads Responsible For De.
fsetivs Equipment.
The legislative agents Of the various
labor organ cations at Washington are
distinctly pleased over the agreement
in congress on the so called safety APP
pliunce legislation. This new law is
called ''an act to promote the safety Of
employees and travellers upon rail-
roads," 1t is amendatory to the exist
gagged In interstate commerce to equip
their cars nth automatic couplers and
continuous brakes and locomotives
with driving wheel brakes.
One Of the chief objects Of the new
legislation Is to bring about uniformity
in equipment. Some OF the new re-
quirements provided under the legisla-
ton are:
First.-That in the loading and haul
ing Of long commodities requiring
more than one car the hand brakes
may be omitted on all save one Of the
cars while they are thus combined for
such purposes.
Second.-The interstate commerce
commission receives authority after
hearing to modify or change and to
prescribe the standard height of draw
bars and to fix the time within which
any modification shall Become obliga-
tory. ....l
Third.-Where any car shall have
been properly equipped as provided in
this legislation or by preceding laws
and the equipment shall have become
defective while the car is being used
by any carrier upon its line Of rail-
road the car may be hauled from the
place where the equipment was first
discovered to be defective or insecure
to the nearest available point where
the car can be repaired without liabil-
| ity for the penalties imposed by the
law.
Fourth.-The movement or hauling
Of car with defective equipment is
to be at the sole risk of the carrier
and nothing in the act is to be con-
strued to relieve such carrier from liza
bility in any remedial action.
Fifth.-The hauling of defective cars
by means of chains instead Of draw
bars in revenue" trains or In associa-
ton with other cars that are CONNER
cially used unless the defective cars
obtain live stock or perishable freight
is prohibited.
The legislative agents Of the employ
ees on the railroads have represented
to congress for long time that many
Of the fatalities on the roads were the
result Of defective equipment. The
railroads, it is asserted. took long
chances. If car with defective
equipment was urgently needed it was
allowed to continue In service. The
railroad employees are hopeful that
the interstate commerce commission
| will enforce the new law rigidly. The
commission will. Of course. afford the
roads reasonable opportunity to
make their equipment conform to the
provisions Of the new legislation.
