EMPLOYEES FORCE
PENSION SYSTEM
On Santa Fe RaIWay--President Rip
ley Says There Is Too Much Dis
loyalty Among Men.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-'One of the most
serious conditions which the country
is facing today is the Indifference and
disregard which the employe has for
the interests of the employer"
This statement was made yesterday
by z. P. Ripley, president of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe in telling
of the reasons which had led his com
pany to establish a pension system af-
fecting nearly 10000 employees.
"The Santa Fe," continued Mr..
Ripley, 'hopes to establish esprit d'l
corps among its employees, and ex-
poets liberal pension system will
have this tendency. We have on this
system as much, if not more, loyalty
than most railroads enjoy but it is
not what it should be. The lack of
loyalty among employees is condi-
ton from which all corporations are
suffering and it presents a most Sc
rious problem"
Asked for a reason for this condi-
ton, Mr.. Ripley said.
"'To much prosperity Or at least too
much business. The demand for labor
of all classes was never so great and
never before did the supply fall so
short of the demand. The demand has
become SO sharp in the railway ser
vice that many of the employees have
assumed scornful independence and
do not seem to care about the inter-
ests of their employers. The necessi-
ties of busines have compelled us to
hire many new men. Add to this the
fact that they know they will have
no difficulty in getting work elsewhere
and it is difficult to get them into good
shape and to maintain proper dis
cipline."
