Missouri Pacific Lines with the Mis-

of st. Louis. whereby supervisory Of
ficers, craftsmen, and their helpers
and apprentices in the mechanical
department of that railroad may car
ny ut a very low rate from one to
insurance, based upon salaries receiv-
ed, according to an announcement
made by H. r. Stafford, executive
vice president. This plan Of enabling
employees to obtain life insurance at
low premium rates, Mr.. Stafford said,
will become effective on the Texas
and Louisiana lines Immediately.
In addition the new plan also af-
fords opportunity for mechanical
employees to carry from one to three
thousand dollars worth of accidental
death benefits, and from ten to
twenty dollars per week health and
accident insurance.
The new plan, il was said, takes
the place of group insurance plans
previously in effect on some of the
Missouri Pacific properties, and en-
bodies several features considered
more attractive to the individual en-
ploye.

nee offer now being made to our
mechanical employees will receive the
same unanimous endorsement by our
Texas and Louisiana lines as it'd i'd
On the parent system" Mr.. Stafford
said. Through cooperation on the
part Of the Missouri Pacific lines the
individual employee is afforded an
opportunity to obtain insurance at
a materially lower premium rate"
