Most important private provision in the United States for the de- pendent old is the support euppiied by relatives. As has already been seen, investigation has shown that in Massachusetts of the aged classed as “non-dependent poor’ 36.1 per cent. of the support of the individual males comes from retatives, 67 per cent. of that of individual females, 29 per cent. of the support of aged couples and 12.4 per cent, of the sup- port of aged couples with others dependent upon them. No doubt this applies, though in different degrees, throughout the country, y that nearly or quite half the provision for the aged poor ‘who are not cared for by public or private charity 1s afforded by relativ As the number of persons sixty-five years of age and over in Massachusetts was given as 177,000, and 195,788 were classed as ion-dependent,” one-half the pro- viston for these would de a little less ¢han 4 per cent. of the provision for all, if afforded upon the same scale, Other teaportant private provisions for the dependent old have been devel- Through labor organizations, These, according to the report of the Com- misstoner of Labor of 188, paid in superannuation benefits $198,618.65 in one yenr, and in permanent disability benefits, a part of which no doubt wi old age ‘disability, $6, The superannuation benefits were very low. instance, 87 per month between 65 and 70, $8 per month between 70 and 9, and $10 per month: beyond the age of 80 in the Cigarmakers' International Union;, $12 per month beyond the age of G, uid $16 per month beyond the age of & fn the International Jewelry Workers; not to exceed $20 per month in the Brotherhood of Loconrtive Engineers; $10 per month for not more then «ix months in any one year after reaching the age of ¢2 in the Granite Cutters’ International Association; @ per week In the International Typographical Union for dependent members beyond the ege of 60. ° Same notion of the total reltef te afforded by the following total payments within one year: Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, 4,89; International Typographical Unton, $106,740. ‘The fraternal beneficiary assoctations do something in supplying relief in event of total and permanent disability. By the laws of tte various States old age Denefits must not commence before the age of 70. They are usually for one- tenth the amount of the certificate each year for ten years. ‘As is well sald hy Mr, Squier, *Measured by actuarial etandards, many of these socteties in the past have operated on rates which were madeqnate even for death benefits.” ‘The tendency as thee societies get over on sound plans and with adequate “yates Ja to reduce of q@bolish these benefits, rather than to make the very con- Ftderable addition to their rates which would be neceasary.
