Economic Qncntfon
Social insurance is regarded by many
students of the subject as one of the
most Important social and economic
questions before the world, and the
division of humanity that Is now re
maining unprotected, enduring oppres
sion, poverty and privation, makes fast
the approach of State to grant relief,
its advocates assert.
Actual statistics collected'by the Ger
man Government Indicate that there
. yyiis an increase in the average of
longevity of the males In the thirty
year period preceding 1900 equivalent
to twelve years to the life of each,
and a marked improvement in the phy
sical strength <ind ability, which iuis
made for one of the most efficient na
tions of- workmen in the world.
The question of garbage disposal is
being thoroughly considered by '.lie
Forum, through several authoritative
sources, and unless some action is taken
by the city to relieve the stress, a
public mass meeting will be called,
wherein definite and authoritative pro
posals will be submitted and demands
will be made for the council to act.
The question of food prices will also
come up which now seriously affect
i most of all. the wor_;ors. The meeting
I will be held at White's Hall, Verbeke
land James streets.
