WESTERN UNION TO
PENSION EMPLOYEES

The president of the Western Union
Telegraph company has announced
the following order
4 pension plan for the benefit OF
the Western Union Telegraph com.
pany's $4,000 employees was annouuo.
ed today by President Theor n. vail.
President Vail said
A pension committee has been com.
piling statistics aud analyzing exist.
ing pension plans for many months.
While the plan which We are inaugur-
ating does not so as far as we would
like to have it, still it is beginning
aud We believe will materially assist
in caring for those employees, qualified
through length of service who. be-
cause of inoapacity or disability are
compelled TO discontinue active work.
The solution of the problem has not
been an easy one in view of the large
number of employees. their widely di-
versified occupations, and the large
territory over which the system ex-
tends, together with the heavy ex-
pense to the company incident to the
inauguration of the pension.
However, it is my firm belief that
all employees. identified by years of
faithful service are entitled to some
financial protection against the neces-
sity of retirement, and it is the hope
of the company that this beginning
will extend to a further protection of
employees. Meanwhile, the Inaugural
ton of a pension plan marks an ex-
preston of appreciation on the part
of the company of the loyal and eff
cient service rendered by it's employees.
The plan in detail is as follows:
After 20 years of Service and up to
and including the 25th year of such
service per cent of the average salary
for the ten years Immediately preced-
ing retirement multiplied by the total
years of service.
After 25 years of service, and up to
and including the 35th of such service,
115 additional for each additional year.
After 80 years of service and up to
and including the 40th year of such
service per cent additional for each
additional year. After 40 years of
service 80 per cent.
The minimum pensio nallowed to be
$25.0O per month, except when other
wise directed
No pension under this plan to ex-
ceed $4,000 per month"
