HUGE PENSION PLAN
PRAISED IN STREET
Standard Oil of New York May Be
Pioneer in New Retire
ment Scheme.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, February 5.-Wall Street
observers who day by day feel the pulse
of the financial district and the indus
trial arteries stemming from it, ex-
pressed the conviction today that a
milestone in American industrial or
ganization has been marked by Standard
Oil of New Yorks announcement of its
new pension plan
Before 1881 is ended, it is predicted,
some of the biggest corporations in the
country will greatly revise their pension
plans, making the retirement age earlier
and other provisions more liberal. All
this is in line with the INFLAMMATION
of industry.
Standard Oil of New York's plan will
provide pensions for 900 employees at
cost Of several million dollars annual
ly. 1t is the largest pension plan ever
undertaken by an individual industrial
organization. The retirement age for
men is set at IS and for women at SIS.
The pension approximates per cent Of
an employees total pay after joining
the plan and present employees will be
given an additional annuity at no cost
to them, equal to per cent of their
1880 pay for each year or prior service.
Thus an employe in service 35 years
would get up to 70 per cent of his pay
