AMERICAN OLD AGE PENSIONS.

At the meeting of the American Federation of Labor the question of securing old age pension legislation from congress has received some attention, and a bill providing for the establishment of an industrial "home guard" has been drawn. It is realized that our constitutional system presents serious if not insuperable obstacles to such direct and frank old age pension legislation as has been enacted in England and is proposed in France. But there are those who believe that in some indirect way a pension system for industrial veterans may be established.

While this matter is being considered by organized labor the federal government is studying the problem of superannuation in the civil service, and Secretary MacVeagh intimates that he will have some pension suggestions to make in his first report. States and municipalities are wrestling with pension problems for civil employes, either designed to extend existing systems or else to cover new classes of employes.

As regards private or quasi-public industry, the old age pension movement is steadily and by no means slowly gaining ground without the spur of legislation. The New York Central Lines, it is announced, are about to put into effect an old age pension system for all of their employes that reach the age of 70. Manufacturing companies, banks and other concerns have adopted the pension feature as a guaranty of greater efficiency and zeal. Security for old age after a life of honest industry is as necessary as it is just, and where legislation is out of the question self-interest and breadth of mind should lead to practical measures for such security on a voluntary basis.

The conversion of the New York Central Lines is significant. Who will come next?-Chicago Record-Herald.

ART IN PRINTING.

In the field of industrial education there has been no greater success than has attended the effort of the International Typographical Union to apply art principles to typography. It is done by correspondence, and an enrollment of more than one thousand students within a period of nineteen months, and a booklet recently issued by the union's educational committee, proves the success of the effort. It shows that under the influence of this instruction the compositor can broaden the field for his artistic ability and increase his earning capacity. Owing to liberal expenditures from the union's general fund, the course is on a nonprofitable basis, and no printer who desires to shine at his chosen vocation can afford to ignore it. Richmond (Va.)
