NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES
MAY EXPECT PENSIONS

The employees of the Michigan Cen
trail and Lake Shore railroads in the
Calumet region Will be glad TO know
that they are in line for pension
after they have reached a certain age
or after they have been employed by
the company for a certain number Of
years.
Official announcement was made yes
terday by President w c. Brown that
the directors of the New York Central
lines had decided to establish pension
system on Jan. l. 1910. Temporarily
the system viii be applied to the en-
ployes only of the Michigan Central,
the Lake Shore and the New York Cen
trail lines.
AS soon as the necessary data can
be gathered the system viii be ex-
tended to include the employees Of the
Big Four and of all the other roads in
the New York Central lines system.
The pension plan announced yesterday
Will necessitate the retirement on PEN
sions of 1895 employees at the close of
this year. The yearly expenditure as
soon as the system becomes operative
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-11-11

viii be approximately 100000.
The retiring age is 20. and when an
employee reaches that age he or she
must retire and will be entitled to a
pension provided employment with the
company has been continued for ten
years previous to the date of retire
ment. In connection with the pension
pla there is no age limit beyond which
employment with the company in the
first instance is possible. In addition
to this any employee who has been con-
tinuously in the employ of the COM
panies for twenty yeas and has become
unfit for duty may be retired on a pen
sion, irrespective OF age.
The amount a pensioner receives has
been fixed a. / per cent for each year
of service based upon the average rate
of pay received for ten years next pre-
ceding the time of retirement Thus.
If an employe had been in the service
twenty years and had been receiving an
average salary of $4,000 a year for the
last ten years of his service, his pen
sion would amount to 30 per cent of
$4,000.
