Synopsis

Excerpt from The New Student''s Reference Work for Teachers, Students and Families, Vol. 3

A feature of the labor situation which deserves special mention is workmen''s in surance (q. In the United States, outside of the industrial departments of the regular insurance companies, there are a large number of funds or societies maintained by labor organizations to insure members against sick ness, accident, death, Old age or other adversity. Some are conducted by workmen for mutual benefit without regard to common employment or connection with any particular union. Of these organizations three-fourths are managed by members, and the majority of the remainder managed by joint arrangement between em ployer and employe. Nearly all of these funds attempt to secure little more than to relieve immediate necessities. They include tool, unemployment, and marriage benefits.

Under the leadership of Kruger and his generals the war was prosecuted with energy and aggressiveness, theE nglish foices were defeated in several serious engagements, and not untilL ord Roberts was sent with reinforcements which augmented theE nglish army to 200,000 men were theB oers forced to give way in the unequal contest.
