Paris. Leon bourgeois, minister of
labor, has tabulated statistics up to
July Of the number of persons who
have registered themselves for old
age insurance in accordance with the
terms OF the law of 1910, as amended
in February, 1912.
According to returns received from
projects Of departments, the number
OF persons under obligation to insure
now registered is 7029,0oS. or an in
crease OF 273,930 since the previous
quarter day, April /.
The number of registered persons
in France under an obligation to insure
is about 100000.
The government, 1t is understood,
regards the returns of July ! as fair
~ satisfactory in view of the fact that
1t has not been possible to apply actu.
al compulsion, owing to an adverse
dor lsion of the court of cessation. A
