PATTERNED AFTER ILLINOIS CENTRAL

and Incidentally to Aid la
Solving Labor 4)neatlea.
A pension ystem for the employee ef th
compsny go Into effect on the Union F
cilia Jnuirjr 1. 1903. The ystem hss been
ferfected and the rules and refutation!,
which are compiled In book form, have re
ceived the alt-nature of President Horace
O. Burt. With the possible exception of
some printing nothing remains to be done
but place the system la effect, yet It was
said at the president's office this morning
that no forms I statement would be made
regarding the details of the proposition
just now.
Tensioning employes may still be eonsld
rred an Innovation among railroads. It la
a departure which but few roads hare fol
lowed, yet even In Ita experimental stage
has attained a degree of popularity which
Insures Its more general adoption. The
rnnsylvanl and the Illinois Central both
have this system In effect, the Pennsylvania
being thn first to adopt It.
The Illinois, Central's aystem, by those
who have studied It, has been generally
co.iimended as a moat liberal one. It Is
rfgarded much more liberal In Ha pro
visions to Its employes than that of the
I'enny'vsnla. It Is understood the I'nlon
Pacific's system Is patterned after that of
the Illinois Central.
To be eligible under the Illinois Central's
system of pensions an employe must have
first been In the service of the company ten
years or longer. Then If he has reached
the ago of 70 he "must be retired." There
Is no option about this. But he may be re
tired at 65, either by the voluntary action
of the company or upon hla own application,
which must be favorably acted on by the
board of pensions.
Incapacity from Service.
Incapacity from active service la the de
termining factor In such cases. The words
"In service" refer not only to the main
lines of the company, but to any proprietary
line, and so wide Is the latitude toward the
employes that If one be employed on a line
which later may fall Ipto the possession of
the Illinois Central he will be Just as eligi
ble to pension aa though he had spent
the entire ten years of his service on the
main line. For Instance, If a man, say 68
years .of age, baa been at work eight years
on some road which the Union Pacific may
buy, he would get his pension when be be
camo 70 years of age Just the same as
though he had spent all his ten years on the
Union Pacific. This, at least, la the rule on
the Illinois Central and, assuming that the
report la correct that the Union Paclflo has
practically followed out the same system,
It will be the rule there.
The rate of pension doubtless will be 1
per cent of the average monthly pay which
the applicant baa received for the ten years
last prior to his retirement, multiplied
by the number of years he has been la
the company's employ. This Is con
sidered very liberal allowance., What
amount of pension fund the Union Paclflo
has or will set aside is not known at thla
time. The Illinois Central road originally
act aalde $250,000 when its aystem went Into
effect July 1. 1901, and provided- for the
appropriation of $100,000 each year there
after or aa much more as the demands of
the Institution warranted. One Inexorable
rule Is that In no case ahall a pension be
assigned. The fundamental principle of the
pensioning system la to cultivate cloaor
mutual relation between employer and era
ploye and It Is the purpose that this bond
of union ahall aurvlv the retirement of the
employe from active service. These ends
would be utterly defeated, it Is held, were
the assignment of pensions tolerated. The
Illinois Central agreea that Its pensioned
employes can engage' In other business If
they desire, but cannot re-engage In the
service of the company and this rule la
expected to obtain with the Union Pacific
Board of Peaslona.
The management and control of the pen
sion department will be rested In a board
of pensions whoso headquarters will be in
Omaha and whoso transactions will be sub
Joct to the approval of the president.
la the case of the Union Paclflo, aa with
all other reads, thla ayatem of pensioning
aged and Incapacitated employes will, It is
urged, work wonder In the way of tem
porising the labor situation. For In
stance, before the strike In the Union Pa
clflo shops broke out last June there were
many old men at work there whose day
of effective usefulness had passed and the
disposition of whom became a problem
to the company. If these men were arbi
trarily discharged 11 would forthwith In
volve the company in a fight with the
union to which they belonged, and yet
certain officials did actually complain that
these men were not able to earn a fair
day's pay and were a dead load on the
company. Some of them had been in the
service of the Union Pacific for thirty
year. It was held, on the other hand,
that to turn them out now after they had
spent their strength and energy for 'the
company would be wrong, and. there the
matter hung. The charge has been mada
more than one that this strike, which
was In the nature of a lockout, waa pre
cipitated -as a mean of thinning out the
shop rank. At any rate It 1 believed this
pension system will furnish adequate solu
tion for thl problem should It arise again.
The Union Paolflo ha Anally decided that

the matter, said:

Of course th greater part of the contents,
which were of bard metallic substance, are

"As ' to the exact origin of the fir w
