ARGENTINE’S DOUBLE STRIKE
CAPITAL AND LABOUR COMBINE. PRESIDENT’S DETERMINATION. Received May 6, 7.30 p.m. BUENOS AIRES, May 5. With both Capital and Labour on strike, demanding postponement of the application of the pension law, President Alveyar to-day announced that he was sending a message to Congress indicating that he intends to enforce compliance with the law, but proposing amendments designed to meet objections to it. The chief complaint is that the law postpones for two years the establishment of a scheme of benefits, meanwhile requiring employers and employees to contribute to the fund, not know when or in what proportion the employer will get his money back.
END IN SIGHT.
Received May 6, 10.30 p.m. BUENOS AIRES, May 5. Given an assurance by the President that the Government would go to the utmost to rectify the situation in respect to pensions, committees representing the employees and the employers recommended their constituents to cease their protest movements. The employers agreed to re-open places of business on Tuesday. The workmen to-night arc debating the question.
