B. & A. employees
Get FINE BONUS
FOR CHRISTMAS

Bangor, Me. Dec. 6.-The Bangor &.
ed a per cent. bonus for employees re
ceiving less than $1,000 year. Pres Todd's
message follows:
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Co.
Office of President
To All Employees
At meeting in Houlton on June 4th, at
which the granting of bonus to all en-
ployes except those drawing salaries of
$2GO0 a year or more was announced. l
made the statement that 1t was the inten-
ton to continue the bonus system if pos
sible. but the enactment by Congress of
the eight-hour wage law, effective Jan. l.,
1917, which was neither anticipated nor
thought of last June, has SO greatly
changed the conditions and if put in force
will so largely increase the company
pay rolls for the benefit of some classes
of employees that until the actual cost to
the company of an eght-hour basic day
has been ascertained the question of fu-
ture bonuses will have to be set aside.
However, l take great pleasure in an
nouncing that at the meeting of our board
of directors | was authorized to pay to
the same classes of employees who re-
ceived it last year, and who were in SER
vice Dec. I. 1916. a bonus of per cent.
upon the wages already drawn by them
during the six months ending Nov. 80.
1916. and this is to advise you that as
soon as the necessary calculation can be
made checks will be sent in payment of
the saAne.
The clerical work involved is very great,
but it is hoped that these checks can be
sent out before Christmas.
In making this announcement / want
to thank you most heartily for the excel
lent manner in which large majority
have performed their work and to wish
you all very happy Christmas and
prosperous New Year.
Yours truly,
PERCY f. TODD,
President.
