day that the younger the man the bet

that the man of 40 or 10 can't be dis

Having decided that. the board of
directors sent out an order that here
after the age limit of new employees be
increased from 80 to 40 years.
On the Reading, as on the Pennsyl-
vania and several other railroads which
for years have tried the-old-man-is-no-

young man employe is now ended, and
the man of 40 and 40 who has been
relegated to the Industrial discard has
come into his own.

that the young man was the only thing
got abroad in the land. On the crest
