Discomfort IS AROUSED
BY FRENCH PENSION LAW
Opposition Manifested to the
Forced Contribution
Feature.

PARIS, July 10. 1911.
The workmen's pension law has gone
into effect. and as there has been con-
siderable agitation all over the country,
chiefly on the part of extreme socialists
and labor unionists against certain pro-
visions of the law, such as the COM
pulsory clause, certain amount of
trouble was anticipated. Revolutionary
organizations in various parts of the
country issued flaming appeals for the
workmen to meet and to oppose the law.
Al Troyes Il big parade was organized.
which was to march through the town,
several thousand strong. going from the
station to the circus building
The project at the last moment issued
n formal order forbidding the parade,
but a crowd nevertheless gathered at
the station. Several speakers got UP,
and, after some violent exhortations,
they tried to form procession. The
gendarmeS came along at a gallop, and
the men refused to break up they
rode into the crowd. Men and women
were sent scurrying right and left, a
number rolled in the cutters, and few
were lightly injured. For fear that an
attempt might be made on the part of
the mob to rush the buildings of the
prefecture at the close of the meeting
great difficulties. a strong force OF
soldiers and gendarmes stationed
around the government buildings and
the gendarmerie. Most of the shops
were closed.
Similar steps were taken elsewhere to
prevent any outbreaks. and formal or
der had been issued by the minister OF
the interior to all the projects not to
tolerate any noisy demonstrations
against the enforcement of law voted
BY the representatives. of the nation.
which the government was determined
to enforce in spite of revolutionary op-
position.
The notice seems 10 have had a quiet
ing effect generally, as no serious dis
turbances have been recorded. The de-
nand of the socialists is that there
should be an entirely gratitious pension
with no contributions, forced or volun-
tary. from the workmen and held
Iaborers. At Clermont, in the Seine-et-
Disc the subprefect. who tried TO ex-
plain the clauses of the law favorable
to the workmen, was hooted and insult
ed at the theater where the meeting
was held.

IT'S THE SAFE" CAR. 1t recognizes the
dtnands of sravitation. It's as different
from the up-in- the-air type of motor car as
the safety bicycle is from the high
wheeled relic of the past. The weight is

pended above them. The center of gravity
is so low that it hugs the road. Turning

that's deeper than you think and your car
is driven down to the ground. In the I'm
derslung Type the frame will strike instead
of the fly saving the crankshaft
from serious injury. Or again, if spring
should break, the "Underslung Frame"
cannot fall to the ground. These accidents
do happen. The Underslung always turns
corners on four wheels, not on two and at
almost any speed-and the tendency to skid
is reduced to minimum. A man has less
ride if he sits at the steering wheel of
Regal "Underslung"-He's driving safe
caf-an insurance against accident.
IT'S THE COMFORTABLE CAR. The
words 'Underslung' and Comfort" are
twins. It's the one car that harmonizes
with any kind of road--It has the faculty
of ironing out the wrinkles of that bad
stretch" the motorist invariably meets be-
cause it embodies another element of con-
struction that is unique-the springs are
shock-absorbing. The side-swaying mo-
