Employees Pensions.

The United States government should
attentively study the employees pension
plan that has been adopted by the
United States Steel Corporation. the de-
tails of which have just been announced
by its president. The fund amounts to
Sc, 900 600, the income of which Is used
to provide honorable retirement for work.

that privilege by reason Of the years Of
their faithful service and their attain
ment to the age when 1t is not only HUI
name but q measure Of good business
management to relieve them from the
cares and responsibilities Of active work
The steel corporations pension plan
involves no contribution by the employee
to the fund. The company assumes full
responsibility. It proceeds upon the prin-
ciple that one who has worked faithfully
for two decades or longer and has
reached the age Of diminishing usefulness
by reason Of his years Is entitled to q
pension. not only as q reward, but as q
measure Of Wise administration. It does
not compel the workers Of all grades and
ages to support the pension fund out Of
their own pockets. for II expects. with
shrewd seldshness. to reap the benefit Of
the retirements. and 1t Is willing to pay
for them.

Brazil's Troubles Not Ended.

A dispatch comes from Rio Janeiro that
suggests that the Brazilian government
took great chances when 1t agreed to
forgive the mutinous sailors who recent
ly stole several warships and killed OH
GERS as means Of forcing the redress
Of grievances. It Is stated that serious
unrest exists In the army and that OH
GERS are openly expressing their discon-
tent and indulging In criticisms Of the
administration. Ono oflcer has been
court-martialed for referring disparaging-
ly to the president. The danger Is that
the example OF the successful naval
mutiny may be followed by the troops.
The soldiers. Of course. cannot steal
forts as easily as the sailors did their
battleships. but mutiny on the part Of
the army would nevertheless give Brazil
q most difficult problem to solve.
The granting of amnesty to the mutt
nous sailors may have seemed at the time
to be the only way to regain possession
of the war vessels. Yet Brazil could bet
ter have afforded to sacrifice the ships
than to promise immunity from punish
ment to all engaged in the murderous
strike. Peace bought with the surrender
Of national authority is certain to be in
secure. and unless the republic OF Brazil
IL exceptionally fortunate 1t win eventu-
ally be compelled to demonstrate at heavy
cost that mutiny Is objectionable.

British Issues Simplifed.

A sudden change has come over the
British political situation that may cause
material difference in the prospects of
the contending parties. Former Premier
Balfour has announced that the unionist
party stands ready, in the case Of VIC
tory in the coming election, to submit
the principle Of tariff REFORM" which in
England means protection. to a popular
referendum. In other words. the union.
lists have for the time being abandoned
tariff reform. Baifour's declaration
means that a unionist victory will not in
volve the enactment Of a protection
measure. Heretofore large interests, nat
uraily conservative. have been prevented
from supporting the unionist cause by
the fear that the success OF that party
at the polls would precipitate a tariff
measure cutting OF free materials OF
manufacture. It has been asserted that
this possibility alone prevented the elec-
ton Of . SUFFICIENT number Of unionist
members OF parliament last winter to
give the liberal coalition control of the
commons. though this statement has
been denied. II has certainly strength
ened the unionist cause. however, for the

vored dependents. Il has not regarded
the move a. q dangerous Innovation. It
has gone about the pensioning OF It's
employees as have the Pennsylvania ana
other railroad companies that have al
ready adopted such systems. and have
found them working to the material adj
vantage Of the service. Indeed. cor
poration employing great number Of
workers has no need to study precedents
to ascertain the merit Of the company
supported pension plan. 1t Is obvious
that Q body Of employees assured Of .
decent competence in old age will work
even more capably and faithfully under
the inspiration OF this guarantee. The
company feels at liberty to relieve an
aged worker from active service in Or
der to improve conditions by permitting
the promotion of more active men, for
it knows that no hardship will follow.
The younger workers are encouraged to
remain In the service, for they know
that as long as they conduct themselves
properly and do their work efficiently
they will not only be retained, but pro.
motion Is assured through the retirement
Of those ahead Of them. In other words,
the retirement system makes of any line
OF employment to which 1t Is applied a
permanent career. with the employer and
the worker mutually benefited at COM
parativeiy slight cost to the former.
The sentiment for departmental re-
tirement system founded upon these prin-
ciples Is steadily growing. Heads of de-
partments are virtually unanimous In IA
vor Of some method whereby the service
can be automatically relieved Of the SUI
without infiicting cruel hard
ships. and they are frank to acknowledge
that the United States is too large an
organization and Is founded too definitely
upon equitable principles to resort to the
picayune policy of compelling the clerks
to pay for their own retire.
ments by yielding q monthly percentage
Of their stipends. Congress must sooner
or later meet this issue ana decide
whether the government Is to remain
differentiated from the large
corporations Of this country

treatment Of its workers
