Old-faShiOned Training

The strong point of the old.fashioned

ity and virtue. "Be good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was undehled. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.

MEN OPPOSE PENSION
Plan Proposed by the Milwaukee
Road is Defeated by
Vote.
SYSTEM SUBSTITUTED
Rock Island Pushing on Toward the
Coast---Connecting
Links.

After nearly years consideration.
II is deemed probable that the plan
to pension employees of the Milwau-
Nee and st. Paul railway will be
abandoned and an accident and
death insurance system substituted.
When the idea of pensioning the
$4,000 or 10000 employees of this road
was conceived by Special Agent Hin
/ sey the plan was made known to the
men. a proposition was made to
them which provided for an insur-
ancc when the beneficiary should
nave reached an age limit or when he
should have become incapacitated
for active service.
The pension fund was to be sup
ported by contributions from the en-
ployes. 1t was proposed that out of
the monthly wage &C each employee II
certain amount, according to the
wage or salary. should be deducted
/ for the pension fund. In this way
he employees were to provide for
themselves, making them appear
more Independents.
Road to Prevent Deficit.
IL was also proposed that if at the
end of the year il was found by the
| board that the pension fund should
| fall below stated amount the deficit
should he made good from the treas
ury of the railroad company. This
procedure was to bc pursued indefi-
nitely, it being expected that event
ually the pension fund would be of
such proportions that the interest ON
il would provide against deficits.
The plan had no provision for pay
ments in cases of accidents except
that employees would be placed on
the pension list if totally incapacitat-
ed by accident or otherwise.
me pension proposition was then
placed before the employees for their
consideration. II was taken up at
the various divisional headquarters
over the entire system and by the
| organizations among the men. II
now develops that the plan as pro-
posed does not meet with unanimous
approval Ivy the employees. and it *
understood that they have voted
against its adoption.
Hinsey Talks OF Prospects.
/ 1T is probable that the plan will
/ bc changed from a straight pension
to one of accident and death insur-
ancc," said Special Agent Hinsley.
/ Pension plans that have been
adopted on the Pennsylvania. North
western. Illinois Central and other
! systems are supported from the
treasury of the companies, the en-
ployes contributing nothing.
! Rock Island In big scheme.
| The formation of the connecting

way is likely to be the result of con-
! ferences of Arizona and California

| Not only is such result the aim of
the promoters. but it is hoped at the
California end that San Diego may be
made the main port on the western
coast. and San Francisco relegated
to the rear as Il shipping point.
Apparently the hand of the Rock
