Vincent ia his report says:
''unofiiclnily. various instructors who

that several OF the instructors who
were radically opposed to segregation

them to favor It heartily"
THE girls and boys do not have any

said Professor Chandler, who has
taught segregated classes in Latin. II
favored co-oducation and voted against
segregation. But I must say that as n
result OF the years Impressions I am
now convinced that segregation is bet

REJECT PENSION PLAN.
Employees of EleUated Roads VOte
against Interboroughs Scheme.

1t announced exclusively I'm The Tribune
Of March IS that the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company was planning pension system for
its employees on its various elevated road lines
and it also stated at that time that the
employees would probably vote against accepting
the scheme. Since that time every employe on
the elevated road who is a member of the re-
lief association. the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and the Amalgamated Street Railway
Employees Association branch composed of the
conductors. guards. yard and track men and
agents. has voted against the plan. which has
been placed before these four organizations for
acceptance or rejection. Committees appointed to
consider the proposition reported adversely at
meetings of all four organizations.
The relief association. which is purely bene-
f1ciary organization, its members paying 30
cents week and received death benefit of
500, the first to vote the plan in all
its details. 1t unanimously voted Then
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers which
pays death benefit of 81 500 TO it's members.
voted 1t, too, unanimously voted The
members Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen were the next to reject the offer, and
last Tuesday the trainmen and yard and track
men. in the Amalgamated Association branch.
gave the plan its death blow. Whether or not
the Interborough will offer a new scheme re-
mains TO be seen
From the start many of the men considered
the company's plan ar attempt TO sap the
strength OF the Amalgamated and Engineers
and FiTemeus organizations. Practically the
only benefit obtained from the last two named
organizations now is the sick and death benefit.
the members longer being fremen or enEi-
neers. The Amalgamated Association also pays
a death benefit. The pension plan submitted by
cues ranging according TO the age Of the bene-
hciary. from ~ cents 10 50 20 Those who paid
20 cents month were to receive a death benefit
OF 500; those who paid 81 month, a death
benefit OF 500; those who paid 81 80 sick or
accident benefit of 50 week and death benefit
OF $500: thJHe who paid 81. n sick or accident
benefit Of 50 week and a death benefit of $500
and those who paid s. 80 a sick or accident
benefit Of 81 a day for fifty-two days and a
death benefit OF 81 900.
The chief fault the employees found with the
plan that they paid all the money into the
fund from which the benefits were TO be paid.
The company, they COutended. although not
turning a cent into the fund would simply have
the use of $4,000 year on which it would
pay no interest. Another draw back they con-
sidered that in case OF their discharge or
resignation they lost the money they had put
into the fund. In case Of a strike all might be
discharged and the entire fund lost. There are
nearly four thousand employees on the elevated
lines. and practically all of them refused to ac-
Cept the pension plan.
