MILWAUKEE ROAD TO ABANDON
SCHEME FOR PENSIONING
EMPLOYEES
INSURANCE SCHEME INSTEAD
Northern Pacific Plans for New
Equipment-PiG Freight Bus
mess at Head of Lakes
other News.

After considering the proposition of the
plan to pension its employees for over a
year, it is probable that the Milwaukee
viii abandon the plan, and substitute for
it an accident and death insurance sys-
TEN. When the idea of pensioning the
10000 employees of the road was conceiv-
ed by Special Agent Hinsey, the idea was
that the fund was to be supported by
contributions monthly from all the en-
ployes. 1t was also proposed that if at
any time the fund fell below a stated
amount the deficit was to be made good
by the company. The plan had no pro-
vision for payments IN case of accident
except that employees should be placed
on the pension list if totally incapacitat-
ed The plan was presented to the men,
and after discussing it for long time,
they appear to be divided on the question
of its ACCESSIBILITY, and they are said
10 have voted against its adoption. Mr.
HlnSey states that the plan is likely to
be changed TO an insurance scheme. Pen
sion plans are now in operation among
the employees of the Pennsylvania, ILL
nois Central, North Western and other
railroads, but they are wholly supported
by the companies and the men make no
contributions.

FREIGHTERs Do BIG BUSINESS.
Package Lines Experience COnges-
ton at Head of Lakes.

The package freight lines trading at Du-
luth are doing an enormous business and
there is quite a congestion of traffic at
the head of the lakes. The boat lines
have notified the Minneapolis flour ship
pers to let up for the present and until
the situation is relieved. Receipts of
flour at the head of the lakes are fall
ing off temporarily in accordance with
these notices.
Last week was a record-breaker in the
matter of merchandise forwarded frcm
the head Of the lakes. The Western
Transit company established a record for
itself in forwarding 10000 tons. No other
line in the package freight traffic trading
here has ever eQualed that The Union
Transit company showed Up with 1900
tons forwarded, while the Anchor, North
ern Steamship and other lines all aid a
large business, the exact amount Of
which in each case could not be ascer-
tanned. None of the line boats are carry
ing grain, The Western Transit COM
pany has three outside beats operating
under charter. The Northern Steamship
company has one boat chartered and
some of the other lines are taking boats
for single trips. The Northern Steamship
company has among its Accommodations
of freight to go forward 5000 tons of
shingles This is equal to 5000 tons of
-four between decks in point Of space &C.

Half the Crop Marketed So Far

Avery Turner, superintendent of the
middle division of the Santa Fe, which
takes in the Kansas wheat beft, says
that only about so per cent of the 1901
wheat crop has been moved In some
localities the most of the crop has been
marketed, said he, land in others
very little has been. Taken as
whole, about half the crop has been
moved. The rest will go to market more
rush us to handle it and there will be
more money in it for the railroads. 1t
costs more for railroads to rush stuff
to market than it does to handle it in

years consideration it is deemed proba-
bic that the plan to pension employees
of the Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
will be abandoned and an accident and
death insurance system substituted.
When the idea of pensioning the 1900
or 10000 employees of this road was con-
ceived it was submitted to the men, but
did not meet their approval. The plan
had no provision for payments in cases
of accidents, except that employees would
be placed on the pension list if totally
incapacited by accident or otherwise. This
was one of the strongest objections to the
original plan. To overcome this it is
now proposed to abandon the pension
plan and substitute death and accident
insurance.

 to know their opinion as to whether the
 rector and other high officials of the
 universities should be nominated or
 elected, as to the steps to be taken to
 induce the students to work with great
 CT zeal, and to bring about better rela-
 tions between the professors and the students; as to the advisabllity of per hitting or establishing students socie- ties, and of setting up university courts and courts of honor for the students. Other questions refer to the arrange ments for teaching and examining the students, and to the powers of the in- spectors, the university faculties and the individual professors. It is to be assumed that similar circulars have been received by all the universities in the empire. It has been a subject of much complaint that ever since the CuaHSeS lntTOuuceu III loo4 lHe poWelS which properly belong to the boards of faculties and to individual professors have been in the hands of officials of the central administration.

 This looks promising. Despotism in education has certain advantages, but It is not really in accord with the high est educational ideals.
