advantage of a liberal retirement
system as support for their declin-
ing years Most of them are under
the merit system, which is a guar
anty of their Intelligence, and the
efficiency of their service is a dem
onstration of their loyalty. The fed
oraI government should continue to
set good example for all other
employers.
In the industries the condition of
the wage Garner has steadily inn
proved. The 12-hour day is almost
entirely unknown. Skilled labor Is
well compensated But there are
unfortunately multitude of workers
who have not yet come to share in
the general prosperity of the nation.
Both the public authorities, and pri-
vate enterprise should be solicitous
to advance the welfare of this class.
The federar government has been
seeking to secure this end through
n protective tariff, Through restric-
tive immigration, through requiring
safety devices for the prevention OF
accidents, through the granting OF
workman's compensation through ci-.
william vocational rehabilitation and
education, through employment intor-
nation bureaus, and through such
humanitarian relief as was provided
in the maternity and infancy legis.I
lation. 1t is a satisfaction to repor.
that more general condition OF con-
eminent exists among wage earners
and the country is more free from
labor dispates than it has been for
wears. While restrictive Immigration
has been adopted in part for the
henefit of the wage Garner, and in
its entirety for the benefit OF tne
country, it ought not to cause
needless separation of families ana
dependents from their natural source
Of support contrary to the dlctates
of humanity.
BttuD,lnous Coal
No nrorress appears to have been
made within large areas Of the ol-
luminous coal industry toward ere
stion of voluntary machinery oy
which greater assurance can be given
+o the pubIic of peaceful adjustment
of wage difficulties such as has peeh
accomplished in the anthraclte IN
dpstry. This biturninous industry IS
one of primary necessity and pears
