alleged to cover the situation.

INDUSTRIAL WELFARE
SCHEME |NAUGURA1ED

In line with modern efforts toward
welfare In working conditions, one
progressive manufacturer in San

plan of insuring the lives OF its
employees. free of any charge to
them.
Under this plan, each employe OF
the company is asked to designate In
writing the person or persons he OIL
she wishes to become beneficiary in
the event of death. To such bene
6ciary this company has agreed to
nav the sum of $500 in the event OF
the death of the employee.
The plan has received the hearty
approval of the large corps of factory
workers, office employees and sales
men employed by the company
Especially in the case of factory
workers the insurance has been
greatly appreciated, as 1t often hap.
pens that they are not in position to
provide for those dependent upon
them In case of their death.
A glance at the list OF beneficiaries
designated Is interesting from the
point OF appreciation of this insur.
ance. For example, one woman has
requested that the $500 be distributed
among her seven children. Doubtless
she feels that at least she has now
some small protection for those dear
TO her In case their support is with,
drawn by reason OF her death.
The John Bollman Company, which
has established this new scheme, is
a large manufacturer of cigarettes in
San Francisco. This is in line with
the many favorable working condi
tons for those employed by them
that they have embodied In their
new and modern plant.
