PUKSIDKNT OKAY OF THE USIOX
PACIFIC ANNOUNCES NEW
I'll AN Fit I DAY'.
The following information is taken
from tho state papors and lu'oreats
many as showing the tendency of tho
railroads to encourage (ho employees
to savo and invest their earnings:
"Employees ot tho Union Paclllc
railroad system may purchoso tho
common capital stock of tho Union
Pacific Railroad company, lit tho mar
ket, on n partial payment basis, Carl
R. Gray, president, nnnounccd yes
terday. "President Gray's plan provides
that tho railroad purchase yjtock In
tho open market on receipt at orders
from employoos, who aro to pay for
the cost of Uio stock in 24 equal in
stallments, by deductions from tho
pay roll each hiotitli. Tho company
will credit to tho employee's account
all dlvidonds received, and will
charge G per cent interest on de
ferred payments.
Union Pacific stock has paid, for
sometime, a dividend of $10 a share
per annum. The range of Its market
price since October 1 has been be
tween $129150 and $112 a share. At a
cost of $125 a share, a return equal
to 8 per cent per annum on tho a
mount invested would bo realized,
officials of tho company say. Priced
at $120 a share tho return would bo
equivalent to 8.33 per cent.
The plan provides specific treat
ment of cases whore employees be
come disabled or die, and where they
leave tho service.
President Gray emphasizes tlmt the
company has no stock for sale, and
simply acts as an agent for- the em
ployee who wishes to invest. He al
so emphasizes that it does not urgo
employees to make stock purchases,
and makes no representation or guar
antee ns to the future market prices
or dividend policy.
"This plan is actuated by no mo
tive excopt to enable employees to
savo and inveBt their earnings," sali
President Gray.
Tho plan while still a now one, has
boon put into operation by several
other railroads, Including the Illinois
Central."
