BENEFITS EMPLOYEES.
Liberal Relief and Pension Plan
Adopted by Harvester Trust.

Adopted by Harvester Trust.
Chicago, Aug. ga benefit associ-
alton and pension fund have been
formed by the International Harvester
Company fos the purpose OF providing
its employees with an income when sick
or disabled by accident. and Of making
definite payments to their families in
case of death. The plan of organiza-
tion is the result Of several months
work by a committee that has investi-
gated the subject both in this coun-
try and Europe, and the benefits pro-
vided are believed by the board of di-
rectors to be the most liberal yet Of
fered by any company to its employees.
In brief, the plan provides that ev-
cry employe who contributes two per
cent Of his wages to the fund becomes
member of the association and is
entitled to all its benefits. He is in
sured against death from sickness or
accident, and receives half wages while
disabled by sickness or injury. The
family of man who is killed by an
accident, either on or off duty, receives
two years wages. For the loss of both
eyes or loss of both hands or feet he
ISCSlSOS q yOdIS WdSSS. LII SClSC VI AOc1IA
from Illness one years wages are paid.
For example, a man earning $12.5O per
week pays twenty-five cents per week
dues. If sick and unable to work, he
receives $625 per week. Should he die
from an accident, or lose both eyes, his
family will receive $1,30000 Should
he die from the result Of illness, his
family will receive s65G.O0, in addition
to the weekly half wages paid during
his illness.
Membership in this association Is
voluntary on the part of the employees,
and in joining the same they do not
waive any legal rights against the
company in case of personal injury.
The harvester company receives no
financial benefit, the association being
solely for the assistance Of its en-
ployes, who themselves choose one
half Of the board of trustees from
members representing the various
plants and departments.
Every employe is eligible to the pen
sion fund, which provides, briefly, that
any employe, after twenty years Of
service, who has reached the age of
sixty-five years, may retire on PEN
sion computed as follows: For each
year of active service-an allowance
of one per cent of the average annual
pay during the last ten years Of SER
vice. with a maximum Of $4,000 per
month and minimum Of $500 per
month Retirement is optional at sixty
five years of age and compulsory at
seventy, and the service dates from the
employment in any of the corporations
whose business has been purchased by
the International Harvester Company.
There are quite a number of such old
employees who are eligible for a pen
sion and many of them will be immedi-
ately pensioned and retired.

the wound Of Charles B. Roberts, mys-
.teriously shot on the Board Walk Wed
nesday night, may prove fatal There

mystery surrounding the shooting will

the shooting. The allegation that
Williams had been in sanatorium ur1-
dergoing treatment and not abroad
was made to the police by his wife,
who was with Roberts in a rolling
chair at the time of the shooting.
The police have abandoned the the
ory that the assailant was highway
man and they are awaiting the report
OF the Baltimore authorities who are
tracing the whereabouts Of Williams
