LABOUR INSURANCE.
Insurance against non employment is an accomplished fact in Cologne. Workingmen who have resided two years in that city and who are over eighteen years old can join the society. Tbe dues are 6 cents per week. If no employment can be procured for a member during tbe dull season, 50 cents per day are paid to him if married, 38 cents if single. The city has started a guarantee fund for the society with $6,000, to which $14,500 have been added by subscription among employers. The society hopes to enroll enough members to meet all liabilities likely to occur.
