PRESIDENT FORGING “THE PENSION ISSUE el Execntm lmors 2 Number ol Compromises to Problem Buenos Aires, May 5.—With both capital and labor on strike today, de- manding postponement in the applica- tion of the pension law, they were confronted in the morning papers with a text of a message which Presi- dént De Alvear will send to congress, clearly indicating that he intends to enforce ecompliance with the law, but proposing a number of amendments designed to meet the objection raised to it. The chiet objections has been that the law postpones for two years es- tablishment of the scheme of benefits, meanwhile réquiring the. employers uand employes to contribute to ‘the pension fund without knowing when or in what proportion the employes will get their money back. The president propesés that 30 yéars be fixed as the maximum of sérvice before pensions are recéivable, that employes incapacitated for work after 15 years of service be pensioned, that pension eontributions be return- éd to foreigners leaving the country and to women éemployes in case of marriage, that employes earning less than 100 pesos monthly be required te contribute only 3 per cent of their salaries instead of 5 per cent, and that contributions as insurance against unemployment and lh:knm be optienal, it was understood the president would hand a copy of the message to representatives of the employers who planned te assemble im front of the government house this aftérnoon to protést against the law’s enforcement.
