" rw tive; only men under a certain age were employed, and the age was un- reasonably young. Men of 35 or 40 were 'turned down," and men of 45 or 50 could not even get a respectful hearing at the employment office. But again the pendulum is swinging back toward the men of years. These Chicago employers claim it will greatly relieve the labor situa- tion to give older men a chance, now that there is such a demand for labor. But they go even further than that, and claim that the older men are actually worth more, in many in- stances, than younger men. In other words, they have come to the con- clusion that many a man has been denied the right to make a living be- cause of his years, when, if. he had been given & chance, he could have earned something for himself and much for his employers.
