Bureau

THE federal bureau of labor, after de-
/ voting years study to work
mems insurance and compensation sys-
TENS in Europe has put out report in
which it presents a study of the in
rurance and compensation systems for
the benefit Of workmen in case of ac-
cident, sickness, old age, invalidity and
unemployment in II European coun-
tries. Charles P. NGill, commissioner
Of labor, believes the report will be
of peculiar interest to working men
in the United States at this time, in
view of the fact that the subject of
workmen's insurance is a live subject
and one discussed in the legisla-
ture of nearly every state. He points
out that within recent years eight
states, Connecticut, Illinois, Massacbu-
sets, Minnesota, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Wisconsin, as we'll as
the federal government, have appoint
ed commissions to study methods of
compensating workmen for disability
incurred in the course of their en-
ployment. AS a result of these activ-
tiles one state, New York, has al
ready enacted compensation laws of
general application, while two states,
Montana and Maryland, have made
provisions for state systems of CO.

Senate Shocked in Closing Session

the Senate adjourned the legislative
day Of March g. When the senate re-
covered therefrom il was for both
the legislative and calendar day Of
March 4.
AS soon as it became noised about
that a custom had been violated, sena-
tors began hasty examination Of
precedents. Senator Gallinger was in
the chair. He referred the question
to Henry H. Gilfry, the senate parlia-
mentarian. A1,eE long search it was
discovered tha while the senate never
had a legislative day of March for
the purpose Of winding up a session Of
congress, there was no reason, except
custom, for that fact
For the first time, therefore, leaders
of the senate learned that the calendar
day is superior to the legislative day
in determining parliaD entary situa-
tons.

considered the handsomest unmarried
girl in society, who is "in" for all that
which makes for good, thrilling sport,
be it hunting or careening around the
Washington monument in an airship.
Many others are interested, in the
movement, and the school promises to
be a genuine success.
Even now the question of proper
dress for aerOnautics is engaging the
minds of maids and matrons who plan
to take the course Of instruction. Each
woman will be law unto herself, for
time at least, until fashion pre-
scribes a costume which all will adopt
None Of the sponsors of the new
school is yet prepared to answer what
the dress will be; they prefer in
stead to di1ate on the pleasure in store
for those who learn to operate their
own machines.
Far more serious, even to women
kind, than dress, is the style of ma
chine to be used. No definite plans
have yet been made in this regard
Next in order comes the question of
a corps Of instructors, a sort of fac
ulty Of the new school. Men instruc-
tors will be engaged at first. Yet
when women become thoroughly prof.
cient who knows what may happen?

Investigates Insurance

operative insurance against accidents
to workmen engaged in mining.
The forms of old age insurance now
in operation in the European countries
are classified by the commissioner Of
labor as voluntary insurance not sub
sidized by the government, voluntary
insurance receiving government subsi-
dies, compulsory insurance, and non
contributory insurance. The investi-
cation revealed that in number Of
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for en-
plOyees on the basis of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman to join the fund, SO that as
far as the employe is concerned the
system may be regarded as compul-
sorry.
The three European countries having
a national system Of compulsory old
age insurance are Austria, France and
Germany. In each case the law emu
merates the classes of persons subject
to the law. In Austria, the law in
cludes salaried persons only, though
the government is now engaged in
formulating plan for national sys-
tenn of insurance for workmen. In
France and Germany the law covers
nearly all the population gainfully en-
ployed who are receiving wages or sal
aries, though many independent per-
sons Of small means are included. The
0XnonSn Of tho mansion in 0ooh Of tho
three countries is met by payments
from the insured persons and from the
employers.

Army of Clerks Support Washington

height Of the season is on they lend
an atmosphere Of hustling prosperity
to the town, but when the warm
months come around they leave town
with filed purses and spend their,
bulky sum at the seashore and noun
tain resorts. The busy clerks stick to
their posts in all kinds of weather
and all through the year and when the
gloom settles down after the big guns
are gone the government clerk is the
only hope Of the merchant and the
amusement managers. 1t may seem
strange, but when closely figured out
the humble government clerk is the.
mainstay Of our capital city.
During the long months when the
congressman and senators are enjoy
ing the 1uxuries of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months Of Washington
are hard on mans nerves and dis
position and hence the physician and
lawyer are kept from the door Of pow,
erty. Food, dress and amusement
must be had and this necessity pro-
vides for the well being of still an!
other class. In this way the 100000
clerks keep things moving during the
dead season. If the clerks we're to
follow the example Of the legislators
and go to summer resorts to rest up
for two or three months the capital,
city would take on the appearance Of
a deserted village, the merchants
would be compelled to close up shop
and grass would begin to appear be-
tween the cracks of the sidewalk
