A Pension Fund to be Created by the
Pennsylvania Railroad.


A prominent official Of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company stated yester-
day that, after several years considera-
tion, a conclusion has practically been
reached as to the creation Of a pension
and superannuation fund for the benefit
Of the employees Of the company IL Is
understood that seventy years,of age has
been fixed upon as the age for compul.
sorry retirement and that employees who
have been in the service thirty years,
but have not attained that age, will be
entitled to the benefit Of the fund upon
report of the committee which will
have the administration Of the fund.
The pension allowance will be based
upon length Of service and the average
wages received by the employe during
such service. 1t is estimated it will
require a payment by the company Of
about $500, 600 per annum to make the
fund effective.
The preliminary arrangements are now
being made, so that at the meeting in
the fall definite action may be taken
by the board and the fund put in opera
ton
This fund will not interfere at all
with the employees relief fund, but
will work in entire harmony Herewith
and the regulations governing the fund
will be finally shaped through confer
ences between the executive officers Of
the company, the general manager, the
controller and the advisory committee
for the relief department
The creation Of this fund adds sab
stsntially to the advantages enjoyed by
the employees of the company as 1t
practically provides a pension for those
whose long and faithful service entities
them to this consideration.
