The Taft men took the Newcomer
vote and Mr.. Finn mounted chair to
protest His face was red, his square
jaw was set, there was fire in his eyes.
Everything just right. He demanded
that Kendall be allowed to vote instead
of Newcomer. Apparently he had the
right on his side. Someone said after
ward that when boss happens to have
the right on his side he doesn't know
what to do with it. That may be so, but
at any rate Finn could do nothing but
shake his fist and shout Robbers and
Pack Of thieves"
He challenged the roll call and made
this threat: IF you steal this vote
you'll call no roll in this convention to-
day" Horrible! Bill Finn was right in

it to come on! But it went on Bill

may he sretired at the option OF
company when thsy. have reached the
age Of IS years and have been twenty
five years or more in service. The
pension age of female employees is in
each case five years younger than that
of male employees. Any employe who
has been thirty years in service,
regard less of age, may be pensioned
on the approval ofthe president of the
company.
The amount of pension is automaticai
ly baised on the years of service and
the amount of pay and will be l per
cent of the average annual pay for ten
years, multiplied by the number of
years of service. Therefore, a man
who had beenthirty years in service
would get 80 per cent of the average
salary which he had been receiving
during his last tan years of sersice.
No pension will be less than 500 a

Bell Telephone System
Adopt. the Pension
Plan
Covers Also Disability and
Accident Insurance.-Moun-
tain States Company Will
Put Same Into Effect
January l.

A fund of $4,000, 900 for pensions,
sick benefits and life insurance will be
available on January l, for the 175, ZOO
employees of the Bell system and asso-
ciated interests, and their families and
dependents, amounting altogether to
more than a quarter of million peo-
pie.
This $40. ZOO, 900 furd will be made
good from year to year by annual ap-
preparations on the part of the Aneri-
can Telephone and Telegraph company
and the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany and the Western Electric COM
pany.
The plan for the distribution of this
fund has been characterized as the
most liberal, comprehensive and ideal
ever inaugurated. President T. N.
Vail has provided combined benefits
for superannuation, 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 varions companies inter-
ested, without contributions of any
kind from the employees themselves.
The application of those varied benefits
will be strictly Democratic and will be
for the benefit of all employees of every
rank. The plan will provide for the
free changeof employment from one
company to another, with full credit
for combined terms of service.
The Bell system and associated inter-
ests provide employment for about 49,
900 people; OF this number 10000 are
employees of the Bell telephone system.
The total yearly pay for the whole
group is about Sis, 600, 600, something
over $50, 900, 900 being paid out in wages
by the Bell telephone system alone.
The terms by which provisions are
made for the needs of age, illness. ac-
cidents and death, may be summarized
as follows:
Pensions Male employees who have
reached the age of 60 years and who
have been twenty years or more in
service, may retire on pensions. They
