A INDUSTRIOUS JOKE

According to the Gastonia Gazette another no.
torous CASTOR county boOtlegger has been paroled
right on the heels of the freeing few days ago
of one Brewer, who had been sentenced for six
years in 1885, after Judge Frizzelle had publicly
told the prisoner: 81 should be perfectly justified
in giving you twenty years-not punishment but
because you must be put where you can no longer
defy the best there is in the community and the
commonwealth, and run roughshod over the law
with your open and fragrant violations. 4 You
felt that you were more powerful than the law.
= = You are bad citizen"
No wonder that The Gazette has taken Governor
Hoey and State Parole Commissioner Gill to task
for turning such moral leper as that back into
society, when it is recalled that the community had
to move heaven and earth, almost, to secure con-
victon originally.
However, the parole authorities have apparently
added insult to injury by coming right back with
another parole for CASTOR county convict who is
declared to have a local reputation as big-time
liquor operator with court record showing that
he had been up seven times for violation of the
prohibition law, three times for gambling twice for
speeding, and once each for dsorderly conduct,
afray, violating the state revenue law, assault and
reckless driving.-Hickory Record

NO MORE YARDsTIcKs, PLEASE

David LASER, Communist head of the proletarian
Workers Alliance, told the Senate Unemployment
committee yesterday that the prices of some basic
commodities, such "steel, cement and alumni
num-" were too high. His suggestion for bringing
them down was that the government establish
"yardstick' steel, cement and aluminium plants so
as to determine what it actually costs to produce
those commodities. - .,y
Heaven forfend! The government established
yardstck plant for hydroelectric power production
and even now is embroied in the bitterest OF rows
among the managers it put in charge. Further
more there is overwhelming evidence that the gov
ernment's yardstck measures up short OF the con-
ventional SO inehes-say about 30
And yet furthermore again, experience with the
governments yardstick power program has shown
that, far from being content to teach table man.
ners to the private power companies, 1t Is almost
inevitably going to end with the swallowing by the
yardstek of the thing to have been measured In
short for sneaking into socialism, the yardstick is
the perfect excuse.-Charlotte News.

W7ASHINGTON.-Although Mr.
" Harry Bridges is hero only
to the pro-labor groups, it will be
cause for general grief in Wash
ington if he does not eventually
get the chance to appear before
Senator Royal S. Copeland and

of which the latter is chairman.
An encounter between the SEN
ator and the West Coast c. I. o.
leader, whom Copeland wants de-
ported as an alien agitator, would
be this capitals idea of a spec
tacular show. Bridges, militant,
aggressive and highly articulate,
has been demanding a chance to
appear to answer witnesses who
have charged at hearings on
maritime labor affairs that he is
Communist and bad man.
Copeland, who encouraged the
anti-Bridges witnesses and made
it evident he believed them, has
been reluctant but now indicates
Bridges can appear If the Depart
nent OF Labor doesn't hold against
nim in its investigation of charges
that he is deportable.
It wouldn't do to suggest that

that all they have to do is to
head their petitions with a few
prominent names and the rest is
but a matter of "sign here" And
sometimes those prominent names
are forged.

rience in getting up petitions told

AGE MEANS INSECURITY FOR
OFFICE WORKERS
(By BRUCE CATION

There have been many evidences Wltnm
the past few years that America gradually
is arriving at a full realization Of the prob
lens which the age of machines creates Tor
the industrial worker past the age OF 40.
Now comes news of survey conducted by
the New York State League of Economics
showing a marked trend toward the en-
ployment of younger men and women for
the white collar" jobs as well as for skill
ed and unskilled labor.
The fact that the survey set the maxi
mum age for hiring of white collar work
ers at 80 years-the same as the average
for all industries and businesses canVassed
would indicate further that the office
workers must wake up to the obvious fact
that employers want younger men.
Office workers must realize just where
they stand in the matter of hiring and
firing, that they are not group apart,
privileged to job security because they
work in a nice clean office with their brains
and not in greasy shop with their hands.
The objections that employers list against
the hiring of laborers of advanced years
poor physical risk, decreased productivity,
slowing up and inability to meet change
also hold for clerks, bookkeepers and even
men of professional ranking.
Assuming that an employer has no pref
udice against hiring men past 40, that he
believes an alert middle-aged man may be
more capable and more productive than a
~ 4baro
remain several outside factors working
against the older men. For example, most
private pension systems penalize their en-
pioyment. Such pensions can be justified
only after a man has worked % to 80
years. Thus a man hired at the age of As
and retired at 65 will have contributed less
to the cost of maintaining his pension than
will a man hired at % and pensioned at
65.
Group insurance presents a similar diff
ficulty. Premium rates go up rapidly as
the age of the employee increases. Here
again it is more costly for the employer to
hire older men, other considerations being
equal.
Aggravating the problem of the unem-
ployed middle-aged is the fact that medi-
cal science has added many years to the
expectancy of life. In 1850, persons be-
tween the ages of 40 and Ga made up Ia
per cent of the population of the United
States, today they constitute around 25 per
cent. Estimates set 33 per cent for 1870.
Thus while medical advancement has
brought added years, the fact remains that
the longer life span also adds to the prob
lem of unemployment among the middle
aged. r..
No one seems to have any real solution.
The remedy, when it comes, will probably
be the result of many years trial and er-
ror. But such revelations as those disclosed
by the New York survey are immensely i'm
pprtant in bringing home the full realiza-
tion that the problem of unemployment af-
ter 40 does not concern industrial workers
alone. 1t concerns everybody. And the
sooner everybody becomes aware of that
fact, the sooner there will be an answer to
the problem.
