serious opposition in Parana that it

PANAMANS OBJECT
TOL|Ab|L|TYL
TRYING to Prevent President
From Signing Act Passed
by National Assembly.

PANAMA, October 21.-The employers
liability law, which has passed the ma
tioaal assembly and is in the hands
of the president for signature. is being
vigorously opposed by local business
interests ard foreign corporations do
Ing business IN the republic. The latter
feel that In event OF the act becoming
! law it will be applied unequally and
made n means OF holding up the out
side corporations. The opposition OF
local interests is based partly on the
application OF the law to themselves
and partly on their general desire to
have nothing done to discourage the
investment OF capital.
The most Objectionable feature, ac-
cording to the opposing employers. Is
the provision of half pay during sick
ness incurred while at work. This Is
believed to be capable of infinite abuse,
for the reason that many Of the labor
ers lay off a great deal and lie around
their quarters in a condition between
plain laZinesS and sort of sickness,
which is the result of hookworm and
lack of proper nourishment. ABOUT ~
per cent of the people, have the NOOK
worm, according to the reports OF the
Rockefeller Foundation, and IN some
districts over half of the people are
chronically infected with malarlal leNeF.
Must Deposit Funds.
Another prime objection to the law
lies in the procedure outlined for It's
application. This requires that funds
be deposited in the national treasury
to guarantee the payment of liabilities,
or that every employe be insured In
an insurance company for the purpose.
to be organized in Panama The for
eign corporations profess to believe
that the funds they put up will be
stolen: and they do not think an in
surance company could be handled eco
nomically or even safely. so that they
would be liable to lose all that they
invested with one.
The corporations contend that the
law, while excellent in many respects;
is too far ahead of the economic ana
sanitary developments of Panama They
claim it has been adapted from laws
recently enacted in highly, developed
countries and is not applicable to Pan

Found Fossil Fauna.

Some years ago DR.. Walcott found a
very remarkable fossil fauna in boul-
ders which had been carried into
Kicking Horse canyon by glaciers that
have long since disappeared. This
season he located the source of these
boulders high up in mountain cirque.
where q portion of what must have
been a great hanging glacier is still
active.
Mrs. Walcott, formerly Miss Mary
Vaux of Philadelphia, who has studied
glaciers for several years and is well
known as an Alpinist, visited Glacier.
British Columbia, where she measured
the position of two large glaciers, and
determined that the front Ice foot in
each 1ase had retreated at the rate of
100 feet a year during the past two
years. Steel plates were placed on the
ice on the present surveyed boundary
lines. The plates will be buried be-
meath the winters SHOWS. but, since
their positions are relatively low as
to altitude, the snow will be melted
off next summer, and their locations
then will indicate the amount of
forward flow of ice during the year.
Mrs. Walcott's studies prove that the
ice has been steadily retreating during
the past six years. Her measurements
agree with observations made in Alas
ka, and indicate that the climate is
not as severe on the Pacific side of the
continent as 1t was a decade ago.

BUENoS AIRES, Argentina, Septem-
Der 3o.-A decree further restricting
immigration to the Argentine republic
will take effect October 2s.
During the past two years the de-
parture of settlers and others for Eu-
rope has been SO marked that some
statesmen have been alarmed over the
fact that a country with such a large
area and a relatively sparse population
could not hold it's inhabitants. The
government, however. has not been i'm
pressed. and by a decree which be-
comes effective next month many strin-
gent conditions will hereafter sur
round permission of Immigrants to
land in the Argentine.
Any persons found suffering from
organic disease. making the subject
UNIT for work, will be barred. as will
posedly being aimed at a possible in
vasion by wounded soldiers after the
European war.
Aimed at Beggars.
Another clause of the new restric-
tion bars all those who have been
beggars in the country of origin and
all other persons who may be consid-
cred likely to become public charge.
The entire responsibility of bringing
undesirables to the country is placed
upon the captain or owners of the ves-
sci which brings them. and in case
immigrants are rejected the vessel
must return them to the port of en-
barkation. In shipping circles 1t is
said that this risk in bringing possibly
undesirable immigrants from Eoropean
countries, wherc registration Is either
defective or not practiced at all, makes
the entire business of immigration un-
desirable in the viewpoint of the
steamship companies. 1t is provided
in the regulations. however. that first
class passengers are exempt from all
the penalties prescribed in the decree,
fact which suggests that in future
immigrants may travel safely as saloon
passengers.
