LABOR WINS FIRST ROUND.

Columbus, o.. Nov. THE Women's
9-hour law, in order that it might be
tested as to its constitutionality, has
been taken to the courts. On pre-
sentation OF the case, Labor won the
first round, when Judge Dillon Of this
city, decided that the law was con-
stitutional. 1t is expected that the
decision will be appealed from. but it
is also confidently expected that the
higher courts will affirm the decision
Just rendered. The encouragement
of the State, at the request of the
Ohio manufacturers, has decided also
to start friendly suit to test the
manufacturers desire to know posi-
lively whether the law will be upheld
by the courts before they contribute
to the state fund provided under the
law.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE
GERMANY.

~.
Berlin, Nov. The reichstag has
read for the first time and sent to q
special committee the new bill provid-
ing for the compulsory insurance of
employees. The purpose Of the bill Is
to extent without state aid-the adj
vantages Of compulsory insurance
against invalidity and old age to prac-
tically all categories of employed per
sons who are not subject to the prOvi-
.sions Of the workmen's insurance
scheme, and whose incomes Do not
exceed $1,000 q year. It is calculated
that the new law viii affect over q
900, 900 employees. The contributions
Of employers and employed Z will be
equal, and, according to the govern
ment bill, are graduated up TO a maxi
mum Joint contribution of 8 per cent
OF the insured income. II Is quite
probable that the details Of the bill
win undergo considerable alterations
in committee, but there seems to be q
general unanimfty as to the general
provisions, and it is predicted that it
win receive the sanction Of the legis-
|lative body during the present session.
