TENSION LABORERS
Legislative Struggles Lasting Over
Four Years Terminated in France.

Paris, March % The Senate to-
night, by a vote of 2SO 10 3, passed
the workmen's pension bill This
marks the end OF a legislative strug-
gle extending over four years and
of a political agitation in France
reaching back to 1852.
The bill as it finally passed, EN-
bodies the final recommendation of
many respects from 1.-THE bill as it
passed the chamber of deputies. The
general belief is that the chamber will
now accept It, and thus avoid further
struggle.
The plan in5ol Jcs contributions
from three sources for the creation of
the pension fund: FirI, obligatory
yearly contributions from the wage
Garner amounting to nine francs for
men six franc for wonlc nand four
ad onc-half francs for minors; sec
ond, the contribution of the employ
er, which equals that of the wago-
Garner. and third, the contribution Of
.hc State
Experts differ as to what the latter
will be, but the generally accepted
figure is $36,000,000 for the first year
the amount decreasing until the
scheme works normally, when it will
be about 100000. The beneficiaries
are to draw their pensions at the age
of 65, or after 80 years of service, with
certain diminitions for advanced en-
joyment. The full pension at the low
est unit of contribution, will be Ala
francs per annum, except for farm
laborers, whose contribution and pen
sion are slightly inferior.
The benefit of the law will be en-
joyed by about 100000 persons
practically all the laborers of France
