The 10000 employees of a great Chi
cago manufacturing company are given
an opportunity to retire Oh a pension
after they shall have been twenty years
in its employ and have reached the age
of 90. Herein is an assurance that a
considerable number of workers will
have something to depend on after their
days of productive labor shall have
come to an end. Either through the
agency Of the labor organizations to
which they belong or of the corpora
tions by which they are employed the
number of such workers is constantly
increasing, and grave social question
Is a little nearer a settlement. The
recent British legislation for old age
pensions does not appeal to Americans
Neither does the German compulsory
system. They recognize the Importance
of a provision for superannuated work
ers, but they are inclined to believe that
time will bring with 1t a solution more
satisfactory than any which has been
worked out elsewhere. There is as yet
no demand for legislation on the sub
ject Powerful labor organizations can
establish pension systems of their own,
as the typographical union has done.
The great corporations will gradually
make provision for the pensioning of
aged employees. There will still be a
host of workers not included in either
of these categories. To them the COM
bined Industrial insurance and annuity
plan recently put In operation in Mas
sachusetts ought to commend itself.
The State branch Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has strongly advised
the workers to avail themselves of it,
and the indications are that they will
do so: A wage Garner may make his
own provision for old age by setting
aside small sum out of his weekly
wages. If he shall also get a pension
from an employer or a union, so much
the better.

A bill which at first excited only
amusement and derision, but has since
received serious consideration. has been
passed upon favorably by standing
committee Of the British House of Com
mons, although it is not likely to be-
come law. 1t is known as the "day-
light-saving bill" The purpose of it is
to make it easier for the general public
to get up early in the morning, and
therefore to finish it's days work in
time to enjoy a reasonable amount of
outdoor recreation by daylight. The
bill as amended provides that at two
O'Clock the morning of the second Sun
day In April, standard time shall be
advanced one hour, and set back an
hour on the second Sunday in Septem-
Der. 1t is an attempt by legislation to
induce or compel new recognition of

ming business instead of half-past eight

plan would therefore fix the beginning
Of office hours at nine o'clock, which
does not seem unreasonable. Since 1t
Is not proposed to change the length of
the working day, closing time would
come an hour earlier during the months
which are best adapted to outdoor
sport. 1t has been urged on behalf of
the bill that this would have consid-
erahle moral effect, since it would tempt
young men away from theaters and
other modern evening amusements. and
send them to the golf links, the cricket
field and the river. Interesting as the
plan is, there are serious objections to
1t which will occur to every one. Chief
among them are international obliga-
tions In regard to mails, and the diff

To fill orders promptly, as do Ameri

To fill orders promptly, as do Ameri-
cans by sudden and sensational in
creases in the number Of employees in
times of rushing business, is not the
European habit. Experience there leads
the newly arrived immigrant to expect,
on finding job in this country, that it
will be his so long as he performs his
part properly. When he is suddenly
dropped from 1t, often in poverty and
destltution, he promptly becomes an en-
