Entitled to Protection.

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 en-
ployes Meanwhile the Inauguration of
pensions plan marks an appreciation
on the part of the company of the loyal
and efficitnt service rendered by its
employees.
"The minimum pension to be paid will
be $25 per month and the maximum
500 per month.
IF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany finds 1t good business policy. as
have numerous other large employers
of labor, to adopt a civil pension plan
they do it on business grounds alone
and not from motives of charity or
philanthropy. If such a system works
| for economy and efficiency, and actually
pays In dollars and cents. and no bust
ness corporation would adopt a civil
pension plan for any other reason, there
| is not a single good reason why the
government of the United States, which
| is the largest employer of labor in the
country, would not find it equally ad
fvantageous to adopt a similar policy.
