The Santa Fe does not pay pensions
higher than $75 a month, nor does il
pay lower than $50. The railroad CONF
pany believes, says Walter WeNl, in
Success Magazine. that II Is precisely
the more poorly paid employees who
should be assured of q reasonable PEN
sion. since the men with higher sal
aries may be presumed to have saved
AT least something. A man who earned
$50 "A month and had worked twenty
years would receive only $40 per
month on the Pennsylvania, but would
obtain 500 ON the SAINT Fe. The west
'ern road discriminates in favor Of
those who find il hard to lay aside
for a rainy day. and in especially meri-
torious cases the board of pensions is
allowed to add 25 per cent 10 the PEN
sion to which the man is entitled BY
length OF service.
If YOU glance at these railroad pen
sion systems specifically, got may
think that they do not pay. 1t 5eems
as though the railroad company is Civ
ing out ana not getting in. Blu If YOU
look a little closer. you will see hat
the railroad is getting more than an
equivalent. The whole service has inn
proved. The old engineer has an in
tcrest in the company; ii is his COM
pany. lie puts a little extra yea into
the work; a little extra intelligence, "A
little more cOnscicntiousness. II he
avoid a wreck which might otherwise
have occurred, he saves the company
more than the whole cost of the
months pensions. The morale of the
force improves. That ii pays the rail-
roads Is shown by the fact that II
railroad after another is adopting the
plan. The plan is spreading through
the entire gigantic transportation sys-
tenn of the United States.
