PENSION FOR RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS
Our Congressman KOpp has introduced
a bill to make railway clerks eligible
for retirement for age on pension, and
for disability incurred in the service.
1t provides that clerk who has served
thirty years or more, and shall have
attained the age of 60 years, should re-
ceive so per cent of the average an
nual salary paid him for the five years
next preceding his retirement, and any
railway mail clerk who has served
twenty years, and attained the age of
65 years, shall receive SIS per cent of
the average annual salary Any clerk
who has served twenty years and at
tanned 90 years of age, 50 per cent of
the annual salary for the preceding five
years. 1t further provides that no
clerk shall be retained in the service
who has attained 70 years Of age and
if any clerk becomes disabled in the
service in the line Of duty he shall be
pensionable at the same rate as a
second lieutenant in the regular army.
The railway mail clerks work is as
hazardous as that Of the man that en-
tiers the army or the navy, and on this
basis the bill is urged

The proposed new liability law is go
ing to make every man farmers and
all who employs Iaborer. liable for
any injury such laborer may receive
through accident while in such person s
employ. The farmer whose hired man
may be injured through the breaking
of machinery, the unexpected runaway
Of a horse, or the kick of COW, may
see his farm go to pay the damages.
1t occurs to many that the proposed
measure will put premium on care

come back at her employer if she re-
ceives an injury caused by slipping on

Fourteen Social Democrats occupy
scats in the Wisconsin legislature
twelve in the assembly and two in the
senate, and this little band of work
ers certainly is on the map. Not a SEES
sion passes that they do not present
a flood of measures relating to every
thing from government ownship OF
railroads to measures relating to the
number of hours of labor in manu-
featuring institutions. Among the
many labor laws that have been pre-
scented and will be presented are the
following:
Limiting hours of labor of women
to eight hours per day, including wo-
men working in manufacturing me-
chanical. or mercantile establishments
laundries, hotels and restaurants
Limiting hours of work N public
works to eight hours and providinz
that a statement TO that effect be ir
cluded in all contracts
Providing for the publication and
investigation OF contracts betV cen enl-
ployer and employe
Providing for proper yentilating in
all manufacturing institutions
Compelling employers of labor to
advertise for workingmen when a
strike is going on so that worhngnen
will know of the presence Of a labor
dispute before taking a position.
Placing ban upon police powers
for labor detectives during a strike
To provide for a more technical ed
ucation in the trade schools OF the

From the standpoint Of human in

The New Congress.

Last Tuesday the Congress Of
the United States reconvened al
Washington. 1t is sufficiently
democratic to give the country
the boon of long-needed good
government for the welfare of the
people, the boast of that political
organization. President Taft's
message was short one and
dwelled on hardly nothing else
but the reciprocity project with
Canada, which the last Congress
failed to pass. On the subject of
the military maneuvers which
have been going on for weeks past
on the Mexican border, the Presi-
dent declined to make the causes
leading to it known to the people,
but handed inquisitive Congress
men his reasons for the display Of
force and it is presumable that
the people are not yet to be taken
into the secrets which necessitated
the war movement. Congress will
very likely remain very quiet on
the subject. There are two i'm
portant things connected with this
session of Congress. The first
will prove source of qualification
to the business classes-a disin-
clination to disturb or agitate any
revision of the tariff, which, al
J though the present tariff law is far
from satisfactory, would make
capital timid and would add
further to the depression now ex-
listing throughout che Union. It'll
is wire to postpone any discussion
OF this monentous question until
after the next Presidential cleo.
ton.
The next duty incumbent on the
majority in this Congress is to 30
demean itself in all legislation a.
to earn the applause and good
will OF the people which course
will put the party on a good fight
ing footing with the people for the
impending Presidential struggle.
We regard this as about the last
opportunity the National Demo-
crazy will have in d long time to
come to regain the confidence Of
the people and capture the Presi-
dency. Let them not make any
blunders and the party will come
out OF the contest victorious. The
recent sweeping state victories of
the party, its success just achieved
in Maryland and in the election
OF Carter Harrison in Chicago
few days ago, seem to be laken
that the people OF the country are
looking forward to the Democracy
to save them from Republican ex-
cesses and favoritlsm in the fourl
years to come.
