MEN OVER F0RTY-FIyE.

Under the heading, What the People
Say, we publish today communica-
tion that asks. what is to be done with
the man over As who is refused work
because of his age? The writer calls
attention to the known fact-often OBJ
scured-that native Americans past
the first flush of youth are jobless
while husky young emigrants are
given work at good wages. She fur
ther reminds her readers that in many
cases il has been the last-named class
who have given so much trouble to
their employers in the past.
This condition, when 1t confronts a
family, is a grave one. Yet it is not
primarily the fault of the employer.
Unless the latter hires efficient men
who in certain cases may have TO be
young men-the plant may fail. and
lHfn tNSAyODt WodH2 IS ooN Va "oa ?
which would be worse condition
than having merely the men over As
hooking for employment Likewise. 1t
is not the fault of an employer If
certain workers have not become so
proficient in their duties that they
are considered Indispensable No en-
ployer can give aptitude. ability, en-
ergy and brain power to the man who
in not naturally endowed with some
of the qualities which make for ma
terisl success.
Although large industries are COM
monty thought to crush down the
worker. and to be entirely devoid of
soul. the truth is that many company
executives. on their own initiative,
and merely because they have hearts
beating in their bosoms. have solved
this problem, ~nore or less success
fully. In many plants special efforts
are made to fit the older men into
positions which they can fill. Rarely
indeed today is man discharged
merely because he has crossed the
Osler dead line.
However, il is true that not many
men over As are hired today. There
II an excellent economic reason for
that, and one which is a foundation
stone of modern business-namely,
that only men trained from youth
pay. II the labor turnover is large,
and If ever so often a new force
of green hands comes in, any indus
try is bound to suffer. Therefore large
plants. which once upon a time
tpok on almost anyone, now want
youngsters. The majority of these
plants play the game squarely with
their men. They offer them special
Inducements to stay in one place
such as building and loan associa-
lions, sick funds. retirement pensions,
opportunities to purchase stock, and
the like. If man does not render
good work in one department he is
shifted to another branch, in the hope
that he may be retained on the pay
ron. OF course it was not always
thus. In the era of big trust group
ings it was big dog eat little dog"
bat the stockholders soon discov-
cred that a contented group of work
men was the best possible asset that
a corporation could have.
But If man over As should be so
unfortunate as to lose his job, and if
ne possesses no trade which he can
turn to advantage. then he is in the
position of the business man who
makes great failure after years of
success. There is nothing to do but
start from the bottom again. It is
not society's fault that the business
man goes into bankruptcy; neither is
il society's fault that the worker must
