labor, by reason of the lack of uni
formity in the laws of the several
states respecting hours OF labor, re-
specially petition the Congress of the

RUSSIAN woRkMEN's INSURANCE

Washington, March Correspond
Eence reaching this country from St.
Petersburg, Russia, states that the
compulsory insurance against sickness
and accident, which was adopted last
summer, is to come into force this
year. Effect is to be given to the pro-
vision of the sickness and accident
law by means of local city insurance
offices, which will be created in the
towns and which are to conduct their
operations under the general super
vision and control of the so-called ma
tional council for workmen's insur-
ance, presided over by the Minister of
Commerce and Industry. 1t is stated
that it will be task of immense diff
ficulty to apply from the outset uni
form standard in country in which
the various industries are as yet so
.uneVenly- developed. 1T is a rather
Singular fact, however, that even in
that backward country provisions are
made against sickness and accident
of workmen, while in this country
this question is still being discussed.

Joins U. S. A. Steamfitters

Baltimore, Md, March 6.-Some
weeks ago the l. A. Steamfitters were
unseated in the central body pursuant
to the enforcement of Section 1, Ar
ticle II, constitution of the American
Federation of Labor. Previous to this
action w. A. Bryan, a member OF the
l. A, had Geen president of the cen
trail body and had vigorously resist
ed the unseating Of his organization,
but without avail. He had also been
an ardent champion of the l. A. in
it's fight to resist the decision of the
A. F. of L. that it would recognize
only one pipefitting trade. and that
recognition to go to the U. A. Plumb
ers and Steamfitters. At recent
meeting of the Baltimore central
body Bryan announced his withdrawal
from the l. A. and his affiliation with
the U. A., stating that "he had decid:
ed to abide by the decision of the A.
F. of L., and although he had CON
tested the action of the parent body,
he had come to the conclusion that
contentious should cease, and also
that he had argued with his union to
accept the inevitable and amalgamate
with the United Association" Bryan
expressed the hope that within a short
time the I. Al union would seek at
filiation with the United Association
and thus clear up the Baltimore field
so far as the pipe-fitting industry is
concerned.

Rochester Situation

Rochester, March 6.-The strike Of
the clothing workers is still on. The
factories allied with the Clothiers' Ex-
change have made an effort to open UP
their factories, hoping that many Of
their employees could return. In this,
however, they we're disappointed. The
strikers are determined that an ad-
justment of their working conditions
and an increase in the scale of wages
shall be accomplished before they re-
turn to work The Mayor of the city
has issued a proclamation, in which
he states that many employees are de-
sirous of resuming work, but are pre-
vented by intimidation. This does not
represent the true situation, for the
garment workers are practically unan-
imous in their sentiment that the
cause for which they are on strike is
just and equitable one and are not
DESTROYS of returning to work until an
adjustment is made.

Model Compensation
Law In Canal Zone

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SpeciaD -
While Congress was fussing over the
Sutherland workman's compensation
bill, finally agreeing on a measure
that must have made the corporation
lawyers of the country ehuck1e, Pres
ident Taft, by a stroke OF his pen,
put into effect on the Canal Zone,
beginning Saturday, March l, work
mans compensation law so complete
lin it's provisions and so adequate in
the care it takes of canal workers and
their dependents that it might well
serve as q model for legislation in
this county,.
"Executite Order legislation" seems
to be getting lot further than that
passed by 4he efforts of friends of
labor" in Congress.
Some of the provisions of the Canal
Zone compensation order merit notice.
The law was written by the experts
of the Legislative Drafting Research
Fund which is associated with Col
umb diversity, New York. ~
The most striking feature of the
order is that it embraces in its ben
4efits every employee at the Canal
without reference to questions of con-
tributory negligence or any of the
other restrictive rules of the common
law. The only bar to participation in
the compensations is against persons
killed or injured as a result of wilful
intention or by their own intoxica-
ton. Z,
In case of total disability the en-
ploye receives a monthly compensa-
ton equal to SO percent of his pay,
this to continue for six years. Should
the disability continue after that the
pension amounts to between Is and
40 per cent for the rest of the disabled
mans life. Dependents upon the sup
port of deceased employees at the
time of their deaths receive IS per
cent of the monthly pay for six years.
After that time the pension is be-
tween 20 and 80 percent of the pay
until the death of the beneficiary. All
employees receive the benefits of the
law, but those whose pay amounts to
more than 5000 per month are treated
on the basis of wage of 5000 a
month wages. With this provision the
government has extended the benefits
of the insurance to include men and
women. in every grade Of employment
at the Canal. -

5000. thus giving a surplus OF $27,-
1866. Last year the temple company
had cash balance Of $3,126.62, while
for the fiscal year just closed the
amount in bank and on hand was $5.-
881.56, or the largest balance ever re-
ported by the company. The net pro-
fits for the year just closed represent
a dividend Of over IS per cent, which
will be applied to the liquidation of
the mortgage, which was reduced from
$500 to- $500 during the year, In
estimating the assets no account is
made for appreciation since posses
sion was assumed, although it is stat
ed that the property is fully worth
$4,000. Efforts are to be put forth
during the coming year for the pur-
pose of nquidating the entire mort
gage debt, and if the revenue contin-
ues the same during the present year
as it did last this can be accomplished.

son of the 'get-rieh-quick" policy. It
is also stated that the Central Labor

with the consequent risk of lives. The

I he Single Taxer
Vote With Crooks

Washington, D. C-(SpeciaD. =
The. majority report of the commit
tee investigating the "fly-by-night" in
surance companies of Washington
was presented to Congress last week.
The report denounces the financial
methods used by the First National
Fire Insurance COMPANY the Com
omercial Fire Insurance Company, and
made the prediction that unless the
companies change their business
methods imme diately they will be-
come insolvent. The advertising meth
DDS of the concerns, which used the

ance companies and absolving Justice

blame. The report was signed by Rep

and Henry George, Jr., leading figure
in the. singletax movement in this
country. 1t is significant that the mi

and this was the first report to re-

While Henry Georges name is af-

does not indicate that the singletax

be a judge. Six weeks ago George de-
