WORKERS BAND TO
FIGHT AGE LIMIT
League Will Seek to Remove Ban
Imposed by Followers Of
Osler.
Journal Special Service.

journal Special Service.
Chicago, Oct. 1S.-With the object Of
relieving the ban upon wage workers by
the ttcruel and unnatural age limit, -
and assisting them in securing employ
ment, an anfi-age limit league has COM
pleted and announced it's organization
in Chicago. Efforts will be made by it
to remove age limit barriers by congress
sional action. The league is described
as an association Of veterans of the
civil and Spanish American wars, and
other citizens who have reached the pre-
scribed age limit Of As years. They
feel that their age of usefulness by no
means has been reached, and they do
not desire Encouragement thus to be
placed in the path Of their lives.
A circular describing the objects Of
the league says:
"Of all the distinctions to a man 3
right to earn living, the ban put upon
labor by the 45-year age limit is cruel
list, most obnoxious and most absurd.
The main purpose Of this league will be
the removal and permanent banishment
Of that ban by such means as will be
found most effective and permanent.
"Ths doors of the league are open to
all honest and industrious and reputable
men, especially those who have passed
the prescribed age limit of As years. Il
will lead the fight against age ostracism
| by congressional enactment and seek
| the creation Of wholesome sentiment
among such employers who have not al
together forgotten that true happiness
! is found most surely in honest labor
