LABOR FORCE
LABOR FORCE
Ratio of Workers to Persons IS
Or Older Continues to Decline

Today there are only five adult
workers in the United States for
every person IS years old or over;
in 1850 there were II workers, 16
years old or over, for every oldster.
In 1900 the proportion was nine
workers to one oldster; in 1920 it
was eight to one; in 1880, seven to
one; in 1910, six to one; by 1850,
five to one. In another ten years,
under current population trends,
there will be approximately four
people at work for every person IS
or over. These figures wildly point
up our fast-mounting problems with
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1951-11-02

respect to our aging population,
reports the family economics bu-
reau of Northwestern National Life
Insurance company.
AS medical science and improving
conditions enable more people to
live past IS, we are at the same
time retiring more oldsters from
useful work, says the report.
Simply voting the old people more
dollars is no solution, either for
them or the nation, the report OBJ
serves, adding that old people do
not consume dollars-they consume
goods, like everyone else. Some
body has to produce the extra food.
clothes, shelter and other things
needed for their comfort.
Therefore any practical program
of security for our aged must face
two basic requirements, says the
report:
ID Production of goods and serv-
ices by our young and middle-aged
people must be expanded much
further, through industrial progress,
so there will be a greater margin
left over from the workers own
needs, to take care of HELPLESS
older members of our population.
(2) At the same time our increas-
ing millions of older people must
be permitted and helped to keep on
at productive work as long after
IS as possible, instead of being dis
couraged and penalized for SO do
ing
Unless these basic realities are
kept in mind, the problem will
grow worse instead of better, says
the report; passing out more and
more government dollars looks like
an easy solution, but only means
that each dollar will buy less and
less.
MOST AMERICANS want to stay
useful after IS, says the report,
pointing to a recent survey of the
retirement aims of 5000 of the COM
pany's male policyholders. Results,
as previously published, showed
that only rs per cent want complete
leisure when they reach retirement
age. The remaining rs per cent
want either to keep on at their pres
ent jobs as long as they are phys
lcally and mentally capable, or
else to be financially able to ease
up bit, with shorter hours or in
some lighter occupation. Thus,
three out of four of the men in the
survey want to keep right on doing
something useful after IS.
Such responses further empha-
size the need for all retirement pro-
grams, whether based on life in
surance, industrial pensions or gov
eminent payments, to be made
highly flexible in their provisions
for actual retirement from work,
the report concludes.

GRASSROOTS
BY Wright A. Patterson

PEGARDLESS OF what the perma-
- nent effect may be on the future
of his party, how wide the fractional
split may spread, the President is
determined to make another try at
securing Legislation on his Fair
Deal program.
Senator Humphreys of Minnesota
has been delegated to prepare and
introduce in the senate eight bills
that, if they can be passed, would
effectuate the Fair Deal program as
contained in the Democratic plat
form of 1913, for the adoption of
which Senator Humphreys was
largely responsible.
Senator Humphreys is promised
the active support of half dozen
other northern Democratic senators
who support anything the President
asks for.
The first of these measures Is
the anti-lynching bill, which the
south has been able to talk to
death, as an invasion of states
rights. 1t is the Presidents be-
lief that the passage of such
measure, with its effect on the
northern negro vote, could mean
turning the electoral vote of
such states as New York. ILL.,
.nOis, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio.
and others with large negro
population into the Democratic
column. without seriously ef-
fecting the white vote of any of
the southern states. the people
of which are regarded as first
protestant, second democratic
and third American.
Only counting of the ballots In
the next election can determine the
