A curlous situation has arisen in London over the advertising scheme adopted by a | tea store. The plan was this: Any mar- | rled woman who bought tea in any quan- | tity, however small, from the firm regu- larly every week for fifty-two consecu- tive weeks, became entitled, if her hus- band dled after that time, to a life-long pension. The pension, of course, was | small, The idea took, and the business of the | company leaped up to an astonishing fig- ure. For the first two or three years the outlay for pensions was almost nothing compared with the income. Of course the number of widows increased gradually, but for some time in no noticeable dis- proportion to the new volume of business. The gcheme did not very clearly come un- der the supervision of the Government insurance officals and the company had merely to report the status of its business |and the amount of pensions paid. The | annual insurance blue book of Great | Britair rontains this year for the first | time t! printed statement of this plan. In Jv .2 1900, the firm had a yearly in- | come from sales of about $750,000 and paid | to its pensioners more than $100,000. In | June, 192, the annual sales were over £$2,150,000, and the pensions $350,000. There | are row more than 500 widows who are | entitled to draw a weekly bounty from | the company until the day of their death, | and the average payment is about $2 a “week to each person. The flgures given by the Government show that the amount | of the pensions is slowly creeping up on | the income of the company, despite the fact that the income is also on the rise. Thus far no attention has apparently ! been paid in the workings of the scheme to the fact that a certain amount of money 'should be invested and held in reserve to pay the annulities already on the books. | The British critics of the plan, mainly rival merchants, argue that if the 5000 | widows are really pensioners on the books the firm has a liability to them in the future of not less than $10,000,000. Lately, to extend the business still further, it has been announced that any woman al- ready a widow may earn a lifelong pen- | sion by purchasing a half pound of tea weekly for ten consecutive years. This pension amounts to 10 shillings a week. The boom that follows this new depar- ture is expected to hold up the company’s end for some time on the old plan, but the mathematicians of the industrial in- surance companies which have been de- prived of their weekly premiums by the insurance “with a little tea'in it"” plan and the tea merchants who have been de- Y prived of their trade, both say that the time of failure of thé scheme is not far off for the tea company. The one safeguard that the latter has is that only 75 per cent of the profits of the company can be used to pay pension claims. In this case the company could never become insolvent in theory, but the pensions would melt down as the profits declined.—New York Sun. ————— ‘The King is one of the few who pos- sess the extraordinary faculty of remem- bering 4 fact of thelr very early child- hood.

S (Formerly the California Furniture Co.) 957 to 977 Market Street, San Francisco LABOR LEADERS SSUE ADDRESS State Results of Confer- ence With the Pres- ident. PO i WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The execu- tive council of the American Federation of Labor to-night issued an address “To organized labor of America.” The ad- dress says: The executive council of the American Fed. eration of Labor has recently addressed organ- ized labor by circular on subjects lacluding bills which will be introduced in the forth- coming session of Congress in the interest of the wage-earners of our country, and which were committed to us by you through your representatives at the last American Federa- tion of Labor convention. Since then the ex- ecutive council has held several sessions, and of mll legislative measures the eight-hour and anti-injunction bills have recelved our special attention. Because of the wonderful Improvements in the methods of wealth production, by which the needs of men and the luxuries of life can be created in a work day of eight hours, we demand enforcement of the eight-hour day, not only in private employment, but also on all work performed by or on behalf of the Gov- ernment, whether the employment be directed by_contract or sub-contract. ‘While we seek to avoid and avert strikes and industrial disputes, any attempt to cripple the right of labor as a last resort to strike In de- fense of our rights simply means labor's en- slavement; for Industrial tranquillity by agree- ment through the methods of concillation and fair arbitration fs only possible and attainable when the workers are organized and have the liberty to exercise their constitutional rights. The writ of injunction in its proper sphere is a right and protection. It was never designed for the purpose to which it is now put in in- dustrial disputes. There is not now upon the statute books of any State or upon the statute books of the Federal Government a line upon vhich authority is given the courts for the issuance of injunctions such as have been issued in industrial disputes. It is not the use but the abuse by the courts of the writ of injunction against which we protest, which is in direct conflict with ithe rights guaranteed to our people by the constitution of our country. The conference with the President con- cerning desired legislation and the Miller controversy is treated as follows: In conmection With the meeting of the ex- ecutive council, and by appointment, a con- ference was held with the President of the United States for the purpose of discussing labor legislation. The elght-hour bill was con- sidered at length, the President stating that his mind had not changed on that form of leg- islation since he had favored it as Governor of New York State, and therefore he was fa- vorable to the passage of the proposed act. On the anti-injunction bill, in response to questions submitted. the President replied that the subject would have his most careful and earnest attention, Other important questions affecting legisla- tion were taken up._ and on behalf of the In- ternational Bookbinders' Union the Miller case was discussed. The executive council brought to the President's attention the manner in which his decision had been quoted, and in ad- dition to the relationship of Mr. Miller to the Bookbinders’ Union as brought forth in the charges against him, the ‘‘open shop' idea was carefully considered. Replying to state- ments on the subject President Roosevelt set forth that In his decision he had nothing in mind but a strict compliance with the Federal statutes, including the civil service law, and that he recognized the difference between em- ployment by the Government circumscribed by fhese laws and any other form of employment. and that his decision in the Miller case should not be understood to have any other effect or influence than affecting direct employment by the Government in accordance therewith. He furthermore made plain that In any form of employment excepting that so circumseribed he belleved the full employment of union men was preferable either to non-union or ‘‘open shops.” Dies at Age of 114 Years. . Widow Victor Marie Deransbourg, col- ored, supposed to have reached the good old age of 114 years, dled at her home, 531 Bouny street, New Orleans, August 23. According to statements made by mem- bers of the family, the old woman was born in the year 1739 in St. Charles Parish, and was the property of Plerre Lario, a rich planter, who afterward removed to the lower coast of Algiers. * Deceased was a daughter of Judge La- battus of Louisiana. Her mother was a Congo negro, imported here during the year 1772. The old woman was a slave until 1852, when she was purchased from the Lario family by her husband, Victor Deran- bourg, with nine children. All told the deceased had given birth to twenty-two children, of which number only nine survive, the eldest being 69 years old and the youngest 47 years.
