epOHSAplAlleS m cOnnecLlOn W1Cn. the welfare of those who aid in their business success. and their depen- dents, the Trumbull Electric Manu- featuring company today announced the adoption of policy whereby each
 person on the corporations payroll
 becomes insured in favor of their wife and children or others who need his protection. The arrangement, which becomes operative immediately, entities every person in the company's 8 employ to life insurance policy of from $200 to $1.O00, depending on the time of the individuals services. all the premiums to be paid by the com pany. Policies on every person on the company's payroll have been taken out with the Travellers Insurance com pany of Hartford and are now in effect, an arrangement having been
 made whereby not even medical examination of the insured Is neces- sary.
 Besides providing for protection for the families of employees in the event of their death, the policies will make it possible to aid workmen disabled through disease or accident while they remain alive, the insurance to be dis tributed in installments annually for twenty years.
 The ipsuring of employees by manu- lecturers is a novelty in this section of tho country and the Trumbull com pany in adopting the policy followed the principles for which it's remark able success is largely accountable, ''the manufacture of 8 product second to none. the establishing of workshops first class in physical and sanitary | tion of skilled operatives, the payment and the maintaining of 8 ,co-opera- tive and constructive interest in the people in their service.'
 Stanley s. Gwillim, the company's office manager and former superin- tendent of production. has been at work on the scheme for a number of months and this morning he an- nounced its satisfactory completion. MT. Gwillim stated that a man who works faithfully for any corporation or individual and by his loyalty and physical and mental effort aids in making the business engaged in a success, heis entitled to something more than the pay he receives each week. "Hc. has given up the best years of his life to the company's in-+ IeTcSIS ana dS -u0 IS HI IL IuSS45uT0 16s sponsible for it's prosperity he is en- titled to have a share of the profits" said MT. Gwillim. The dividend given to the workmen in the share of life insurance policies which shall be a protection to their families in case they should die is one that will be greatly appreciated by every person on the payroll and will no doubt tend to make the relations between the Circle IT help and the company eyenl more friendly. than they are at present.
 32O People to Benefit.
 The company now has 320 persons, including it's sales and office force and life insurance policy is to be issued for each of them. The concern will bear the entire burden of the premiums. The officers admit that the amount which it will have to pay annually will be considerable but they believe 1t to be a good investment.
 The statement given out through MT. Gwiilim announcing the details of the plan, contains an introduction which ayers that "the aims of the company, the officers believe, has been attained during the unusual perplex- ing industrial conditions of the past two years. They have been accom- plished largely through the loyalty and efficiency of the men and women employed by the company. Being ever mindful of this. and appreciating these qualities. in our employees upon which our mutual success depends, 1t l has been decided to maintain for all l our employees: without expense to them, life insurance for, the benefft of | their wives, schiBdTen. mothers. sisters 1 or sother dependents" The 'planI itself !
