BELL TELEPHONE SYS,
TEN ADOPTS PEN
SION plan
Covers Also Disability and
Accident Insurance -
Mountain States Company
Will Put Same Into Effect
January First.

= A fund of $10000000 for pensions,
sick benefits and life insurance will be
available on January list, for the 49,
900 employees of the Bell System and
associated interests. and their families
and dependents. amounting altogether
to more than quarter of million
dollars.
This 100000 900 fund Will be made
good from year to year by annual ap-
preparations on the part of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany and associated companies, and
the Western Union Telegraph company
and the Western Electric company.
The plan for the distribution of this
fund has been characterized as the
most liberal, comprehensive and ideal
ever inaugurated. President 7. n. Vail
has provided combined benefits for su-
perannuation, sickness. accident and
death, for an industrial army more
than twice as large as the standing
army of the United States. !,
This provision is made entirely at
the expense of the various companies
interested, without contributions of any
kind from the employees themselves.
The application of these varied bene-
fits will be strictly democratic and will
be for the benefit of all employees of
every rank. The plan win provide
| for free change of employment from
one company to another, with full credit
| for combined terms of service.
| The Bell System and associated IN
| terests provide employment for about
| $4,000 people: of this number 10000
are employees of The Bell Telephone
| System. The total yearly pay for the
whole group is about $115.000,0oo.
something over 100000 being paid
out in wages by The Bell Telephone
System alone.
| The terms by which provisions arc
made for the needs of age, illness. ac-
cidents and death, may be summarized
as follo7s:
| Pensions: Male employees who have
reached the age of 60 years and who
have been 90 years or more in SER
vice, may retire on pension. They
may be retired at the option of the
company when they have reached tho
age of 55 years and have been 25 years
or more in service. The pension age OF
female employees is in each case five
years younger than that of male emu
! ployes. Any employee who has been 30
years in service, regardless of age, may
be pensioned on the approval Of the
lpresident Of the company.
The amount of the pension Is auto
lmatically based on the years of SER
vice and the amount of pay and will
jbe / per cent of the average annual
pay for 10 years, multiplied by the
number of years of service. Therefore.
a man who had been so years In SER
vice would get 80 per cent of the aver
age salary which he had been receiv-
ing during his, last 10 years Of SER
vice. No pension will be less than
$50 a month.
i Accident, Disability Benefits: In case
of accidents occurring in and due to
the performance of work Tor the COM
pany. the employees will receive for to-
tai disability. full pay for IS weeks
and half pay for the remainder Of dis

First Cement Is Placed in
the Big Structure, All the
Preliminary Work Being
Finished.

The giant buckets at Arrow Rock
cropped their first loads Of concrete
into the long pit that will finally be
The Arrow Rock dam on the Boise prof.
ect today.
With the pit thoroughly cleaned and
ready and penetrating into the solid
bed rock of the river bottom, the first
buckets swung to the top of the cable
towers, were drawn rapidly over the
rable ways and turned their contents
into the chasm below.
The actual construction work has
begun. The first loads of concrete Tor
the construction Of the gigantic dam
have been poured into the big trench
and the work will now be rushed
through as rapidly as the government
men can do it to complete large
share Of it this year.
The river il running through the big
hole in the mountain side the Golfer
dams have turned the current away
from the dam construction, and the
concrete buckets are steadily and in
cessantly making their trips backward
and forward over nearly thousand
feet of steel cable and turning almost a
ton of the soft material into the chasm
hundreds of feet below.
For nearly two years the govern
ment engineers have been doing prep
aratory work with this end In view.
over 81 100000 has been spent to get
ready for the first load of concrete to
travel across the chasm. Several
mixers are located on the river banks
at the site of the greatest dam in the
world and their product is poured into
the big buckets for the trip and
dumped into the hole that the engineers
have dug for the great dam.
The pit that stretches across the
river bed and that penetrates into the
bed rock of the stream was dug 81 feet
below the level of the river bottom and
forms a chasm into which the soft con
crete is poured for the making OF 0
wall of rock that will Withstand the
flood waters Of the stream in the spring
and hold them back for use in the
growing seasons Of the year.
The engineers believe they will have
several months in which to work or

flood waters come down from the
mountains and before any damage
could be done to the Golfer dams tina

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company has set aside from its
surplus a fund which provides for
those whom 1t directly employs. and
also provides reserve, upon which,
under certain conditions, the associ-
ated companies may draw. This fund
is supplemented by funds set aside
by each company. The total appro-
priations viii aggregate something
more than S10,000,000. The benefits, 1t
is estimated, will cost annually about
$1,000, 900 more than the present pay
ments on this account.
/ The administration of the funds will
be in the hands of Employees Benefit
Committee of five, to be appointed by
the board Of directors OF each COM
pany. The committee of each associ.
ated company will have jurisdiction
over the benefits for employees of that
company.

about combinations of capital and their
effect upon public welfare. but l want
to call attention to the fact that no
such plan could possibly have been
brought about except through COM
bination of financing such as that af-
forded by the American Telephone and
Telegraph company and its associate
companies. 1t is because Of our asso-
citation in this way that we are able
to give our employees the financial pro-
lection that modern conditions seem to
dictate. Since no expense whatever is
borne by the employees in this con-
nection, it takes an approved force Of

James H. Brady, considered one OF
the most formidable men mentioned for
the honor, Is also said to be quietly
working in his own behalf. His many
