DECLARES MIDDLE-AGED
MAN BIG FACTOR IN INDUS*
TRIAL FABRIC OF NATION*
WASHINGTON.—The value of. the.1
middle-aged maan in the nation’s in- '
clustrial fabric was extolled by Secre- |
tary Davis of the Labor Department.
Advancement has, heen. made, he
said, in disproving the “false philos
ophy" that men are through when
they reach the age ot 40 or 50.
“On the other baud, he declared,
“more and more, is it. becoming the
experience ot' our must enlightened
employers that.men. of. the age of 10
or 5o years or over ae ooilten better
qualified by experience., ability and.
settled habits to render more valu
able service than. -aose of a younger
set-’
The age question was. said by the
Secretary to be one of toe grave
economic problems that deserved the
nation s, particu.ar. consideration and
during the coming. yejK . he .expefcted
to see “a great .essening in the prac
tice of retiring from employment the
workers of middle or advanced age.”
“It has been adequately proved,”
he said, “that eltiriency... is not served
by the enforced retirement of our
middle-aged artisans in industry, nor
its humanitty made happier by the
bringing aDoout of sudden work or
adjustments wnich these displaced
men are frequently called upon to
meet..’’
