Beans Than He Can Handle
(From a Statf Correspond tnt.)
Lincoln, Neb., May 15. (Special.)

trouble.
He desired to plant beans in an cf

The beans were what is known as
the Mexican 1'into bean, 1,500 pounds
of them, anil the price was IS cents

except as t.t the amount sent.

to relieve hiin of the surplus.

encouraging its men to enlist in the
army, lie said the men who leave
the scrviee to go to the Iront will get
their jobs haek when they return.
The company has put about four
acres of vacant land into gardens,
the products raised to be used in the
employes' restaurant at the plant,
where meals are served at prices much
lower than elsewhere.
Pension System.
The company, has a penion system
for the benefit of its employes. At
a meeting of the pension committee
at Chicago it was decided to con
tinue the pensions of all men who
joined the army and not make any
charge for the protection. In com
puting the pensions length of con
tinuous service is one oi the chief
elements. H a man is out of service
for any time he forfeits his claim to
pensions.
The committee decided to permit
the men to break the continuity of
service rule and still have all the ad
vantages of the pension department.
J he committee will now reinstate
theirt when they return from the front.
In case of death the pension bureau
will pay their beneficiary the amount
(hey would have paid if the employe
had remained with the packing com
pany.. "Vc believe the men who are stay
ing here and working are doing the
country ju.st as much service as if
they were at the front. We arc en
couraging enlistments aud aidiu all
foreigners in taking out citizenship
papers. Only recently wc paid all ex-
penses tor over 100 im'n who made 1
icqiiots for papers. We have lectin-
eis from the Young" Men's Christian '
association to teach these men the
fundamental principles oi American I
law and goxernniePt. the cI.i-m's meet
twice a week.
Farm Work Not Popular.
"Nut many ot our men are leaxing
us to go on the farms. As a rule
they are not tanners, and we are not
encouraging them along this line.
Skilled laborers are needed licit to
take care oi the tanners' slock. The
men wc have lost have been replaced,
in manv caes by women, and thev
ate doing mightv good work loo. I
wish we could have women in every
department, but the business i Mich
that we can t."
"As yet we have done nothing, but
plans arc under consideration now j
and will soon be decided by Mr, Ar
mour at Chicago," said K. C. I
Howe of Armour & Co, "All of our
salar-d men who enlisted have been i
carru i un the payroll. W e arciioi
losing any men nowadays, wc na e
more men than we have ever had at
this time of the year.
Prohibition Means Efficiency.
".Since prohibition came our men ate
more eOieient and steady, wc have
noticed a decided improvement suuc
May 1. The men are on the job every
day now." Mr. Howe believed the
pensions of employes would be con
tinued il they went 16 war, but stated
that (his matter was also being con
sidered by Mr. Armour.
Superintendent K. L. Vhipps of
Swift's says they have not decided
what allowances thev will make ihe
men. At the time they were called
to the border his company paid the
difference in salary aud held their
positions open for them, but just
what will he done now is not known.
Swift Co. have furnished gat den

of ground to their married employes.
