ing with great deal OF success to secure employment
for "younz old men" estimated to number 10000 who
have poured In applications for work. complaining that
everywhere they have applied for employment, they
have met with rejection account Of age In Con
necticut New York and Missouri much interest has
been displayed in the Chicago experiment and In Ceve
land similar organization has been effected.
Secretary Wilson of the department Of labor, In his
annual report recently made public said the chief i'm
provement which he wished to make in his labor bureau
was to establish branch foE bringing together employ
ers and the elderly unemployed.
Some men wear out before they reach 45. Some are
nearly useless all their lives. Some better workers,
more productive workers at 90 than at 2 There Is al
