regularly and occasionally tossing extra ones,
long that they say out West that Mother Eve invented
scissors to trim her fig leaves and cut coupons off her c.
holdings
How do you suppose it managed to do that? WE'LL for
thing it always had bunch of great big, brainy men
like Jacob M. Dickinson running it. =.
Secretary Dickinson is the who wrote the plan
under which the Illinois Central pension department
operates.
And it isn't any contributing pan either, that taxes
the poor section hand and the youthful fireman order
that the weltodo but aged engineer conductor may
tire with good pension
The company goes down into it's clothes and digs up
the pension money Secretary Dickinson knows we'll
managed business afford to do it that way. So he
demands:
WHY SHOULD ANY OF US SHUDDER AT THE
MERE MENTION OF A CIVIL PENSION OR RETIRED
LIST AND SPEAK OF 1T WITH BATED BREATH AS
THING OF HORROR AND SOURCE OF UNSPEAK-
ABLE EVIL?
Secretary Dickinson, of big affairs and wide
perience with just such things knows that liberal wages
and substantial pensions-cvI PENSIONS mark you-are
what earn the loyalty intelligent cooperation and constant
effort of employees
He knows it has done that for the Illinois Central and
he knows it will do the for the Government.
In his statement of the subject in The Times today the
Secretary mentions also the Pennsylvania railroad whose
similar experience has commended the plan of liberal
and good pensions to him. You know about the Pennsyl
vana investors all the world look upon the model
railroad corporation.
These great business organizations dom try to nfct
ancient and embalmed wage schedules their employees,
either How long would they continue earning their dvi
dends and enjoying the enthusiastic loyalty of employees if
they paid wages under their schedules of 1853?
That's what Uncle Sam is doing his classified civil
service employees.
Senator you dismiss the Government clerk as
mendcant, impoverished by his improvdence.
But you can't dismiss Secretary Dickinson that way. He
knows what he is talking about and he is not asking any
thing for himself.
Congressman your chest must have welled with pride
and patriotism the other day when you voted $450O0OO0
pensions to the old soldiers of treasury that
tained yearly balance of millions less than nothing
Just stunt in fsca aeration that good enough
to make Washington street company beg for scholar
ship in a night school of financial irrigation.
But, remembering how easy you had found it to give
away what you didn't have, didn't you feel just twinge of
remorse when, ON THE VERY NEXT DAY you voted down
motion.o consider the Gillet BILL looking to shadowy
recognition of the Government clerks right to decent
living?
Gentlemen of Capitol Hil don't pay any attention to
The Times.
If the Government clerk speaks you about his salary
pick him up with the ongs of that executive ORDER and
throw him out of the window.
Then sit down and read what Secretary Dickinson says
about wages and civil pensions for Government employees
in today Times.
