PLAN HOSPITAL IN EXCHANGE.
Produce Brokers' Interested In Stcp
to Meet Emcrgrncies.

Several OF the leading members Of
the New York Produce Exchange are
heartily in favor of the establishing OF
an emergency hospital. The movement
in this direction has been inspired by
developments during the past few
months. Cases where quick medical
attention was required have not been
i%nfrequent and it has become evident
that this attention sometimes cannot be
obtained.
At present there are about 1850
members of the Produce Exchange, most
Of whom y active On the Board every
business day. In addition, there are
about $50 employees of the Exchange.
One suggestion offered is that a room
be fitted with first aid appliances and
medicines. with two nurses always
ready for emergency cases.

BRITAIN INSISTS ON
RIGHT TO BLACKLIST
Declares in Reply to U. S. Pro-
test American Firms Will
Not Be Boycotted.

Great Britain insists she has the right
to limit the trade OF British subjects.
This Ia the tenor OF the British reply to
the American protest against the black
list. II was learned today. The reply
will be made public tomorrow by the
British foreign office and the State De-
partment.
The British note enters into a detailed
explanation OF the principles OF English
law under which this right Is claimed.
II IL Understood. however. that the
British government declares there will
be no application OF a secondary boy
colt OF purely American Arms which
may have some connection with black
listed firms. This Is TO apply so long as
no American firm attempts TO act as a
blind or agent for a blacklisted firm.
The British government also expresses
a readiness to investigate the merits OF
individual applications for removal
from the blacklist. and calls attention
to the fact that several firms already
have been removed from the boycott
after such inquiry.

Afternoon.

prepared to present to the coming
Congress the first retirement law for

cost. and a proper division 81 expert
diture.
Teachers here have gained the ex-
pert advice OF the United States Blu
reau of Efficiency. which has directed
much study toward pension systems
with view to establishing civil
service retirement. While Herbert
d. Brown. chief of that bureau, claims
nothing In the way OF perfection for
the teachers pension law he has
worked out. he does assert that II is
the first attempt In any American
city to collect adequate data by which
to prepare pension system for
| teachers.
Need Of Pensions Shown.
Need of pension legislation to in
crease the efficiency of the schools
here Is shown by one OF the hrst
tables of Information obtained. that
showing the ages and years OF serv-
Ice OF Washington school teachers.
As evidence of the burdensome fea-
ture of the straight pension plan the
| case OF England was cited where in
some cases pensions amount TO as high
| as 30 per cent of the total pay rolls
OF certain Government departments.
| ana OF Canada, where n wholesale dis
missal of employees brought about a
demand for accrued pension payments
which Imposed heavy burden on the
Dominion, and took years to straighten
out.
