 Tt is all we'll and good to keep workers employed all the time lis a confession of failure,' Y and that old-age pensions are a matter of justice to workers.
 Senator Dill had expected to attend, but was kept in Wash ington. His telegram promis- ing support was received with enthusiasm.

That's the way Canada is handling the problem.
 Ten states have old-age pen ions law now, and Wyoming, the last one to take this step, has perhaps the best measure of all.
 Father John A. Ryan of Wash ;ngton, D. O., said that an in dustrial machine which cannot respect the law" he said, "but we must have laws that are re- spectable. The state should de- cree that those who have reach ed an age where labor is i'm possible should be cared for"
