Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly A.
s1stant Secretary Of the Treasury, ad-
v0cated In recent address the estab-
hshment by large corporations Of pen
sion funds for old employees. In dis
cussing the matter Mr.. Vanderlip re-
ferred to the great changes which have
been going on in industrial life during
the past Is years. There have been
tendencies" he said, toward specian-
cation and concentration. There has
been a wonderful, application Of me-
chanical aids. We have been work
Ing toward production on vast scale.
This has created an Industrial army,
the rank and file Of which tend more
and more toward becoming automatic
wheels in the great Industrial Organi-
zation. The new Industrial order has
made new social order There is to-
day no such things as industrial indie
pendence possible for a workingman.

ever; the moment that sickness over

old age reduces his power to keep in

ilized world pension their civil ser
wants. The full working out of the
merit system in civil service can never
be accomplished, believe, until we
recognize the principal Of a civil pen
sion for superannuated government
employees. There is no other impor-
tant nation which has not recognized
that principle.
I'm an inquiry reaching nearly 1000
corporations replies show that 70 have
adopted some plan for retiring and
providing for employees during old age
Without single exceptNh these cor
porations which have adopted such a
plan expressed the opinion, after hav-
ing had an opportunity to note its ef-
fects, that it was a wise business prac-
tice. AS a rule those American cor
porations which have adopted the old
age pensions system have treated the
matter in the light Of deferred wages,
the corporation bearing the entire ex-
pense Of the pension requirements.
IF 1 were to attempt to summarize
the reasons why institutions in the
United States are beginning to adopt
old age pension schemes l would say
that they embrace such considerations
as these: The pension attaches the
employe to the service and thus de-
creases the liability to strike. 1t makes
more certain a continuance Of efficient
men in the lines of work with which
they are perfectly familiar. OF quite
as much Importance Is the fact that
pension system enables employers to
dispense with the elderly and inefa-
cient and thus give constant encour-
agement to good effort on the part of
younger men hoping for promotion. It
operates especially as an incentive to
hold men between the ages Of 40 and
30 when they have acquired the ex-
erience and skill which makes them
especially valuable and prevents their
being tempted away by slightly in
creased wages for temporary period.

sold into slavery at the age Of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was presented to tho
late Emperor, and, upon his wife 3
death, became Empress. Her feet were
never bound. and she was taught to
