THE PROGRAM OF
~. ORGANIZED LABOR
Shall the Workers Bear All the
Burden of Industrial Accidents.
By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

There are fully 100000 accidents
to the workers in industrial life every
year. Probably 10000. of these are
fatal. If every year an American
city of 10000 people should be COM
pletely destroyed, it would arouse
the greatest indignation. But in the
matter of Industrial accidents the
$4,000 killed are men-producers,
men with families which suffer most
keenly on account of our recklessness
and apparent indifference to indus.

happen IS indicated in the report OF,

Referring to the iron and steel work

and faulty hooking UP Of heavy
weights; the slipping Of furnaces; the

molten metal; the speeding of engines
and cars without light, bell or flag.

The German Workmen Insurance
system, which las been in operation
since 1884, has from small begin
nlnEs grown into gigantic system
OF cooperative relief and social well
fare. It is exceedingly complex and
full abstracts of the law and it's
Workings would fill volumes. All that
is here attempted it to give such an
outline of the main facts and fea-
lures of the system as will enable
the reader to, grasp its character and
the extent of its operation. - !,
The German system of wo. nmea's
insurance is threefold. It embraces:
CD invalidity and old age insurance
90 sickness insurance and .(3) ac-
cident insurance. * 49,.
1-InvaHdity Insurance. ~.
It's main purpose is to provide an
annuity for those who are unable to
make their living, if this incapacity is
caused by a bodily of mental defect,
chronic sickness, or natural decay
of the physical powers, and old age.
The Invalidity insurance covers all
persons over 16 years of age who are
working for salaries or wages, in the
following occupations: Workmen, ap-
prentfces, domestic servants, sailors
and employees of the textile and to-
bacco home industry; commercial and
technical employees and teachers, pro-
vided their yearly income does not
exceed $3.50. .,~.. ...
To the Invalidity Insurance fund
employees and employers contribute in
equal parts, the government adding a.
fixed sum to each allowance paid.
Contributions are paid weekly on a
fixed scale, the amount depending on
the salary of the insured person, as
approximately evidenced by the fol-
lowing table:

The people arriving this morning

They were carefully selected on the
