OLD AGE PENSION BILLS
". @. COSTELLO.

The old age pension is a thing which
has not, thus far, aroused great deal OF
discussion in the United States. There
are signs, however, that it will become
one of the foremost issues of the day
during the next decade or so. Most other
countries have adopted it, and the grow
ing tendency of industry to replace men
with machines, and weed out the older
workers, will make the subject matter
of greater Importance in the future than
1t has been in the past.
Already the Massachusetts legislature
is considering a pension bill. In its
present form, this bill would call for the
payment by the state Of So week to
men of 60 or over and women OF 6O or
over who had no other sufficient means
of support While So week is not
great deal, and while this bill has not
yet been given final approval, the mere
fact of its consideration indicates new
attitude in regard to a measure that was
considered the last word in socialism
few years ago.
1t may be- however, that ultimately the
country will decide that old age pen
sions, however necessary they may be,
are not primarily matters for the state to
handle. Individual industries and labor
unions, working individually or in coop
Grafton, may solve the problem for them
selves.
For instance the International Typo.
graphical Union already has an old age
pension law in force, and its operation
may point the way for great means OF
service by organized labor generally.
A member of the International Typo
graphical Union who has 25 consecutive
years of membership and who reaches
the age of 60 and finds himself in fin
ancial straits may draw pension of So
week In addition, if he is able, he may
work at his trade not more than two days
a week. Thus this union is seeing to it
that its members do not need to become
public charges when their time of useful
ness is past.
Several industries are doing the same
sort of thing, and probably more will
fall in line as years pass. The whole sub
ject is extremely interesting; and wheth-
er the final solution comes from state
action, union action or action by organ
lied capital, or by combination of all
three, there is no doubt that the old age

WILL YOU BE A VICTIM?

Apparently we Americans are not as
nearly intelligent and efficient as we like
to suppose
Although we have had safety work on
national scale for a good many years,
and although every newspaper and mag
azne has dlnned into our ears the fact
that automobile traffic is growing in
creasingly dangerous each year, our au-
tomobile traffic fatality list continues to
go up.
Figures just released show that auto
mobiles in the United States last year
killed 81 1000 people and injured 1,O00,-
600 more-an increase Of 10 per cent
over the figures for 1923.
Ponder over those figures for minute
and let their significance soak in. Thir-
ty-one thousand deaths! More people
many more-than were killed on both
sides in the battle of Gettysburg. If
some new disease were carrying people
off at this rate we would call it dread
full epidemic, and would be imploring our
doctors to save US from it.
Look at it in this way: during the
next hour-dating from the moment in
which you read this-three Americans
will be killed by automobiles and lis
will be injured.
Who will they be, these men and
women who are doomed to die within the
next 60 minutes? Well one of them may
be-yourself. Yourself, or one of your
loved ones. Or it may be that one of these
victims is to be struck down by the
wheels of your automobile. To be sure,
you are careful-but we all think we are
careful. No man ever told himself that
he was eventually going to die beneath
an automobile. No man ever told him
self that his car would some day kill an
other human being.
All of this is just another way of say
ing that every one of us has got to be ev-
erlastingly careful A moments mat
tention while we are driving our cars
may cost life-our own, or someone
else's. We do not yet know how to cope
with this terrible accident situation by
means of new laws; but all of US can
VOW to drive with such care and consid-
Grafton that there will be no danger of
our adding to the toll.
