Twenty employees of the Chicago q
Northwestern railway system will
soon be retired on pensions in CON
formity with the recent change fixing
the service requirement at twenty
years instead of thirty. Three of
these pensioners are employed by the
company in Chicago. the Others are
located at various points along the
lines. several being in Minnesota and
in the Dakotas. The highest month
~ allowance to be given any of the
twenty To be retired is So. The
names of those who will be retired
are withheld by the officers of the
road because the persons who are to
be shelvcd desire as little publicity
rs possible. This for the reason that
they do not care to be held up as
back numbers or AZ persons who are
incapacitated. Many of them claim
to he capable of doing as much work
as ever and they will seek employ
mcnt in other lines. as the rules of
the pension system allow.
There * considerable talk among
the employees over the amounts al
lowed as pensions many being of the
er. Those who are retired and who
need a pension are usually employees
who have been on low or medium
salaries and who are in no position
to exist without working.
The Chicago. Rock Island d Pacific

ing Kansas City nearer to Mexico and

til next fall. Expensive equipment
