posed in Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.

ME.NICO CITY. December T.
feeling ranging from uncertainty and
apprehension to positive alarm prevails
among business leaders here, both
Mexican and foreign. regarding the
proposed new labor law, which among
other things requires profit sharing
with employees.
Fostered by organized labor, the
bill has passed the Chamber Of
Deputies and is pending in the Senate,
where efforts are being made to
modify it by amendments. The labor
leaders demand its passage IN
amended, denying the charge by some
induStrialS that it is unduly burden
some or unfair to the employers.
They say the Mexican workman has
known extreme exploitation and
miserable living conditions, and has
been notoriously underpaid. Some
improvements have been made since
the revolution, they admit. but more
reforms are needed and the proposed
law merely follows enlightened labor
legislation in other countries.
The bill as passed by the chamber
empowers employees committees to
examine the books Of their employers,
ascertain earnings and profits and fix
the amount of profits 10 be divided
among the worllmen. It gives en-
ployers the option of declining this
inspection. and, instead, paying a fiat
10 per cent salary bonus to all EN-
ployes.
1t requires so per cent of the en-
ployes of every concern to be Mexi-
cans, and stipulates an S-hour work
ing day. with overtime payments.
Workmen shall be compensated for
injuries received during their work.
Employers also shall provide medi-
cines and medical attention, pay hos
pital bills and pay wages while the
i'll or injured employe is unable to
work.
Employers are required to pay q
minimum wage sufficient to provide
the necessarieS of life, with some
money left for amusement purposes
Workmen's committees are to deter
mine, in each plant, locality or indus
try. the exact minimum wage.
Employers must educate some of
their workmen in technical colleges,
and in the case of large establish
ments must provide homes for a GER
tain number of their employees.

Widows Rivalry
No Longer Feared
By English Girls

LONDON, December 7.-Euglsh
widows seem to be losing their cum
ming. Marriage registration rec
ords show that comparatively fewer
widows are remarryiug now than
at any time in the last half cen
tury. The unmarried candidate for
matIimOny appears to be having
most of the success.
Analysts of the matrimonial out
look say this change is due TO i'm
provement in the wisdom and judc-
ment of the unmarried girl. She
has become more practical, they
say, and has stolen much Of the
widows advantage with the mar
riageable male. Since modern con-
ditions have brought her greater
freedom. She has been able to learn
how to be u comrade TO a man, to
study him at close range, analyze
him psychologically and to discover
that he wants something more in a
wife than q clothes dummy.
