SOCIAL QUESTIONS.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S VIEWS. Prett Association.—Electric Telegraph..—Copyright. London, October 30. The Hon. J. Chamberlain, in a letter in the Nineteenth Century, advocates the legal enforcement of shorter hours for miners and others engaged in dangerous employment ; also the earlier closing of shops and the erection of tribunals for arbitration in trade disputes. He further urges an old-age pension scheme for the deserving poor, the limitation of the control of pauper immigration, better housing of workmen, and that local councils should initiate steps to facilitate workmen becoming owners of their dwellings. Mr. Chamberlain also suggests legislation providing that employers should pay compensation for any injury to workmen if caused by the former's neglect.
