MIDDLE-AGED WORKERS

The American Federation of Labor

practice of employers ousting middle
aged workers from industry.
This was decided upon at the re-
cent convention of the A. F. of L. at
New Orleans when the question was
brought up by a group of metal
trades delegates.
The resolution stated that FAN age
limit of as years is being applied in
the manufacturing industries. and ir
many instances the limit is placed as
low as 40 years.

diate past.

Out of the mass of evidence, ru-
mors, reports and surmises as to the
cause of the sinking of the steamer
Vestris, is an abundance of most au-
thentic information that there was
not only gross neglect on the part
of inspectors who permitted the yes
sci to leave port in the condition it
was in, but there was incompetence,
mismanagement, lack of organization
and an utter disregard for safety of
the passengers on board.
If one were to sum up the primary
cause for the disaster it could be
done in one sentence:
GREED FOR PROFITS.
When a ship at sea sends out a
call for help it indicates not only dan
ger but that help is Immediately re-
quired. No ships master ever per-
mits the call to go forth for help
until he is certain that it is needed.
Shipowners dread the idea of sal
wage, and that keeps masters from
calling for assistance until it is i'm
peratively needed.
The captain of the Vestris over
played this caution and hours, per-
haps whole day, interviewed between
the time the danger must have been
apparent and the time the signal
was finally flashed that brought ships
hurrying to the rescue. Had the sig
nal been given when the danger was
first realized, there would have been
one or more ships standing by at the
time the Vestris was abandoned and
few, if any, lives need have been sac
rificed.

Hamilton stores were never better
nrepared to care for the shoppers

shop when you can do just as we'll

Delegates to the A. F. of L. con.

the communists would tear the trade

States and Canada came the same
story-the "red" movement is a ha-
