SOME COOLER BUT NO RAIN
The long: promif.'d relief from the
intense heat of the last four weeks
has so far failed to make its ap
pearance although a cooling breeze
today has made the conditions a little
more like living but there is still no
appearance of any stop to the heat

has also been withheld although oth

PENSION PROSP
QSITION STARTS
The Company Will Pension Every
Employe in Their Empoly.
Includes All.
Two million dollars was the gift
made by Swift Company to their
employes today. Announcement ol
the accumulation of this sum during
the past six years in the form of a
pension fund occasioned much grati
fication to workers in the plants and
i ranch houses in all cities where it
was made simultaneously. It is esti
mated that move than 30,000 men am
women are eligible, in time, to come
under the provisions of the fum
which becomes active August 1.
One of the striking features op the
plan as outlined is that the employes
do not contribute to the fund, the com
pany furnishing absolutely all mone
needed to pay pensions. In this con
nection it is expected that Swift &
Conr-anv will he called upon to pay
$400,000 a year in addition to the in
eo're from the rund, in order to meet
ths demands.
In Chicago alon 8,000 persons wil
r-f.m under the nlan as outlined. Of
these a number are already eligible
and their cr:.es vi'.l be passed upon
by the board of pension trustees with
in i comoa! ativcly short time.
The pension board as organised wil
consist of five members who are offi
cers or employes of Swift & Company,
They are to be appointed annually by
the board of directors to serve one
year or until a successor is named
The board will elect a chairman and
secretary. The treasurer of the com
nniiv is ex-oft!cio treasurer of the
fund.
"Swift & Company have had a pen
sion plan under consideration for over
six years and during that time have
accumulated for the purpose a fund
of two million dollars." said Louis
F. Swift, president of the company
today. '"In that time we have studied
dozens of pension plans in effect in
other organizations, both contributory
and non-contributory and we believe
that we have selected the best points
of these and have added a number of
good features that are distinctive. We
have made it possible for every man
and woman in our employ to provide
for his or .her old age simply by giv
ing efficient work and continuous scr
vice. It has been the aim of Swift &
Company to tie its employes to itself
in manv wavs. We have worked to
that end for years because we believe
that our employes become more valu
able to us with every j-ear of their
continued service. The pension plan
i? our scheme for rewarding this
faithful service."
Tiie salient points of the plan
outlined in the formal announcement
to employes follow:
1. The employes do not contribute
to the fund.
2. Income from the $2,000,000
foundation fund is to be supplemented
annually by Swift & Company unti
the fund is large enough to meet the
necessary demands.
3. More than 30,000 employes to
benefit by the announcement.
4. Men in the employ of the com
pany twenty-five years, who have
reached the age of sixty may be pen
sioned.
5. Men in the employ of the com
pany twenty-five 5'ears and who have
reached the age of sixty-five shall be
pensioned.
0. Women in service twenty-five
years, who have reached the age of
fifty may be pensioned.
7. Women in service twenty-five
years, who have reached the age of
fifty-five shall be pensioned.
8. Employes in service fifteen
years and up to twenty-five years,
who are permanently incapacitated
for work may be pensioned.
9. Pension of. those retired on ac
count of age and length of service, or
if incapacitated after a service of
twenty-five years, but prior to the age
of retirement, shall be one-half of the
average salary for the five years pre
ceding retirement.
10. Pension of those retiring on
account of incapacity after fifteen to
twenty-five years of service shall be
computed on a basis of one and one
half per cent of the average salary
for the five year period preceding re
tirement, for each year of continuous
service.
11. No pension shall be less than
$240 per year.
12. No pension shall be in excess
of $5,000 per year.
13. The widow and children of an
eligible employe shall receive one-half
of the pension to which an employe
shall be entitled at the time of his
death.
In their efforts to work out a plan
which would be fair to all employes,
the company have allowed employes,

HITCHING POSTS FROM
FOURTH TO FIFTH STREET
from Friday's Daily.
The city is busy grading Pearl
street from Fourth to Fifth and put
ting it in shape for the installing of
fifty new hitching posts that can be
used by the farmers for the purpose
of tying their teams when coming to
the city for the day. This makes an
ideal place for the hitching racks as
it takes them off of the main street
of the city and does away with a
great deal of dirt and annoyance to
the owners of the teams and at same
time is within easy distance of the
business portion of the city. The fix
ing of the street and the widening of
the thoroughfare will make it a much
better place to hitch the horses than
any that has ever been suggested be
