ARGENTINE PENSION LAW.
STRIKE LOCKOUT PROTEST. COMPROMISE POSSIBLE. BUENOS AYRES, May 6. On being given an assurance by the President, Dr. Marcelo T. de Alvera, that the Government would do its utmost to rectify the situation in respect Lo the pension law, committees representing the employees and employers recommended their constituents to cease their protest movements—namely, the strike and lockout respectively. The employers agreed to reopen their places of business on Tuesday. The workmen are debasing the question this evening. While both capital and labour were on strike and demanding a postponement of the application of the pension law, the President announced that he had sent a message to the United States Congress indicating that he intended to enforce compliance with the law, but proposing amendments designed to meet the objections to it. The vhief complaint, is that the law postpones far two years the establishment of the scheme of benefits, meanwhile requiring employers and employees to contribute to the fund not knowing when or in what proportion the employers will get their money back.—(Reuter.)
