ANNUAL REPORT ON
 STEEL PENSIONS
How Employees of Corpora
 ton Are Cared For
BENEFICIARIES HERE
During the Past Year 1717 Steel Corporation Employees Were Cared for by the Pen
 sion Fund

The first annual report of the United States Steel and Carnegie pension fund founded in 1911 and for the benefit of em- ployes of companies, owned by the joint interests, was made public in Birming- ham yesterday. The report is printed upon large poster and posted at various points about the Tennessee company works yesterday afternoon so the em- ployes could see the first years operations of the pension system and how in 1911 1t had been handled
 During the year 17l7 employees of tn- companies were provided for by the pen sion fund. There were 1152 active cases beginning January 1, 1911, with 565 added during the year making total of 17i7. Various causes discontinued Ill during 1911 leaving 1906 to begin with the year 1912
 The average age of employees benefited by the pension fund in 1911 was 66.66 years the service 30.40 years, and the average pension fund s20.75.
 The .newly created plan provided $697 % the first year in the Tennessee company operations which includes Whitwell mines operated Tn tennessee. Al tle IhSiCS works s157G0 was paid: at Ketona Quar- ", $132: at Pratt Mines, $264 while Whit well secured $1H. The officials of the company desire that every employe that thinks he is entitled to benefits under the plan make known his opinion in that re- spect to the chief clerk of whatever de- partment he or she is employed so the pension committee can pass upon the ap- plication. The company announces that absolutely no outside inuences such as attorneys or friends are required to han dle the application. The plan operates backward to the life of the Tennessee company and every company that it has bought or acquired in any way. For in- stance if an employe of the present op- erations was at one time an empoNe ol the DeBardeleben companies or any com pany bought and has worked successiveiy through the merger and Is now with the Tennessee company. such empoye would be entitled to share in the pension plan as if he had been with the present com pany the entire length of time. In that respect the pension fund has great elas- ticity and will take care of Il great many employees whose term of service dates backward to the beginning of some of the companies Of the present Tennessee com pany.

wherever the water would touch II

the place would scab over. and would
burn and itch 30 as to be almost I'M

sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con.
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact

ONLY INHABITANT Of
CITY BAST|LE ESCAPES
"Slin" SimpkinS ForSakes City Meal
Ticket To Battle for Living With
Cruel World

Slim Simpkins, the only in
habitant of the city Jail, took a sud
den notion Tuesday to decline the
offer of the city to furnish free
board and room for a period of about
25 days and hied himself for parts
unknown, to do battle with the world
in an effort to secure those necessi-
ties to life from other sources.
Slim" was confined in the city bas-
tile as result of his alteration with
City Marshal Baymiller last Wednes-
day night, Judge Henry having hand
ed out a fine of $50 and five days in
the city jail as sentence after
slim" had pleaded guilty In the
Strengthened financial circumstances
of the prisoner this meant Is days in
Jail, 20 days being the time required
TO liquidate the $50 fine at the rate
of $3.50 per day, slim" did not
consider his lot as a rosy one, how
ever, and spent his hours in an eff
fort to figure out ways and means
of escape. This opportunity pre-
sented itself Tuesday noon, when
Slim" was taken from what he
termed the city ice house" and put
to work cleaning the cutters along
Main street
Marshal Baymiller found il i'm
possible to remain with the prisoner,
as his duties called him to other
parts of the city. SO Slim" was left
alone, with only his honor" separat-
ing him from freedom This honor
was short-lived, however and in
few minutes slim was headed for
the ~ p, crossing, where a train was
due, going at pace that would have
made Jack Nelson green with envy.
Nobody seemed inclined to get in the
way of the fugitive and he was soon
riding on the blind baggage" of an
\. p. train, headed toward Lewiston.
Nobody seemed anxious to attempt
to apprehend the erstwhile prisoner
in his flight. and no tears were shed
because of his departure from the
city. Go your way rejoicing, Slim,
but keep away from Pullman.
