PRIVATE OLD-AGE PENSION
SYSTEM Is UNSOUND.

In a survey Of employers old-age
pension systems, issued by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
investigator sustains organized labor
charge that these pensions are main
tanned for anti-union purposes.
Labor's leading opposition is two
fold First, it is intended to tie work
ers to their jobs and make them sub
NIT to poor conditions, and second, It
is used to stop strikes.
As to the first objection, the inyesti-
gator says: "These are the very rea-
sons why the scheme is favored by
employers" Labor's second objec-
ton is likewise concurred in. The
investigator says: The wording OF
many of the plans confirms the
charge"
1t is also stated that out of 200
pension plans Investigated, the COM
pany bears the whole cost, except in
10 instances.
In a recent issue the United States
Review and Industrial World de-
clared that private pension systems
will eventually collapse and that
scandals and "mass of unpleasant
notoriety will inevitably follow. This
publication says:
give hundred industrial institu-
tons, among them many of the
strongest in the country, are piling
up obligations which will, within a
few years, require very large eX-
penditures and for which no provision
is now being made.
"0f more than 300 establishments
recently questioned, less than 20
claim to be operating on an acturial
basis, and only seven were found TO
have set apart any funds with which
TO meet these constantly increasing
obligations and only three of the seven
are known to have established their
funds in accordance with acturial data
and practices"
These indictments should impress
workers who place their trust in en-
ployers who deny them the right to
join a trade union, and who assume
a paternal attitude over them.
The private pension system Is
young, but when these workers reach
old age, the crash will come.
1t is idle to expect relief through
courts, as was shown in the case OF
300 cid employees of the Morris Pack
ing company, when that concern was
recently taken over by one of its Chi
cago rivals.
These workers had contributed t
the Morris plan. They sued to bt
continued as pensioners, and set VI
the claim that they are too old to earn
their living, and that they had fore
gone opportunities to benefit them
selves. They believed the compan!
when they were told it was not neces
sary to join a trade union.
The court refused to consider thes,
promises and understandings, but or
dered that the small amount they con
tfibuted be returned to them.
By this method the Morris concern
tricked them to accept low wages an,
then sold out to a rival, while tn,
duped workers were thrown on tht
streets.
Stock-selling ventures and company
unions" are identical to private old
age pensions. None of these scheme,
are operative in union plants.
Their purpose is evident. They hav,
replaced the cruder methods of anti
unionists.

ground that the contract was a viola

may be one way of entertaining

lating as to what would happen il this

We have a public vocational school
here which teaches eighth grade pu-
pills the rudiments Of various trades
solt of intensive apprenticeship. Inc
latest is a four-year course in plumb
ing, under competent instructor.
This method should be. far superior
to the usual smattering received IN
high school by vocational students.
BY the way, have you ever thought
of the expensive machinery installed
for this purpose in schools and the
benefit, or lack of benefit, received
from its use? Statistics are elusive
figures, but an investigation into this
subject should be enlightening.
The latest here is proposal by the
board of education and local mer-
chants to put high school pupils in
stores after school and on Saturdays
to learn merchandising. This would
not only give the merchants free
service during the rush hours, but
would introduce the pupils TO trade
which will perhaps pay them as much
as $l5 or Sl8 week.
