None Of the sponsors of the new

Far more serious, even to women

Labor Bureau 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 invesu-
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 employee 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 a 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
expense of the pension in each of the
three countries is met by payments
from the insured persons and from the
emn10vors

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 filled 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. It 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 luxuries of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months of Washington
are hard on a 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 were. 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
deserted village, the merchants
would be compelled to close up shop
and grass would begin to appear be-
tween the cracks of the sidewalk.
