lies, the expense to be borne by the
company without any expense ia
those benefited. The Lalancec- Gros-
jean Manufacturing Company was
the first large industrial plant Sc
cured for Harrisburg by the original
Board of Trade, and the free insur-
ance to be inaugurated here has been
tried out with success at the Wood
haven plant of the company:
The protection is in addition to
any compensation to which employees
might be entitled under the work
mems compensation act.
Benefits Up to $1,000
The plan insures all employees who
have been in the service of the COM
pany for three months or more, and
will take effect January 1. 1919. The
/ death benefits are $500, for more
than one year in the service, $500,
and 800 for each additional year of
service to the maximum amount of
| $1,000.
The announcement to the en-
ployes this morning was made by
John Grey, manager of the Harris
burg branch of the company. Pre-
vious to the meeting this morning
in front of the mill office, notices
had been posted about the plant re-
questing that all employees without
exception meet at the specified time,
and that an important announce
ment htat would directly affect the
future welfare of all employees and
their families would be made. Fol-
lowing the posting of the notices,
speculation as to the nature of the
announcement was rife among the
men at the plant. All varieties of
theories were advanced as to just
what was in store for each employe,
but none guessed the real surprise
that was coming.
Good Feeling
In concluding the announcement,
Manager Grey expressed the hope
that the year 1919 would further
cement the good feeling between the
company and it's employees. The an
nouncement was greeted with ap-
plause from the men. Then each
man who had been in the service of
the Harrisburg plant for three
months or more, was handed a large
decorated Christmas greeting folder
containing an application blank and
greetings signed by ]. II. Walbridge,
president of the company. A reso-
luton of thanks to the company and
its president for their interest in the
Harrisburg employees, was drawn up
and adopted by the men present.
The motion for the thanks resolu-
tion was made by Ole Wagner, a
roller and one of the veterans of the
Harrisburg MILL and was seconded
by c. E. Landis, the cashier of the
local branch of the company. At
this evenings meeting of the La
lance-Grosjean's Employees Bene-
fetal Society, in West End hall, 1880
Wood street, the annual dividend
will be paid out to the membership.
Although this organization was hard
hit by the influenza epidemic, it has
not failed to return to the members
a portion of the dues paid during
the year.
