UNITED CAMPAIGN FUND
Power Company Employees To
Contribute Days Pay
For Five Months

Twelve thousands employees of
The United Gas Improvement Com
pany, Philadelphia Electric Company
and The Philadelphia Gas Works
Company will contribute to the 3d.
100000 United Campaign fund.
They will give a days pay month
for five months, starting with De-
cember. Their contributions will be
matched dollar for dollar by their
employers. This group contributed
$3O5, 900 to the Unemployment Fund
last year.
Conowingo> Power Company and
Southern Pennsylvania Power Com
pany are both subsidiaries of the
Philadelphia Electric Company, and
part of this great fund will be al
located to be used in the local COM
munities served by these companies.
Five days pay will amount to APP
proximately one and "a half per cent
of the yearly wage or salary of the
utility employees. In cases where
employees are already contributing
to the support Of relatives or for
other reasons are not able to spare
five days pay, it is expected that
they will give what they can afford.
The suggestion that the employees
of the utilitiesI contribute to the
United Campaign came from the en-
ployees themselves. Resolutions
were adopted by the United Savings
and Beneficial Association, repre-
senting the. employees Of The United
Gas Improvement Company and The
Philadelphia Gas. Works Company,
and by the Beneficial Association of
the Philadelphia Company. The
trustees Of these employee bodies at
meetings, at which representatives
of every division and department of
the organizations were present. I'M
animously passed resolutions asking
John E. Zimmerman, as president OF
The United Gas Improvement Com
pany, and William H. Taylor, as
president of the Philadelphia Electric
Company, to request the employees
to make these contributions.
'These voluntary. actions by the
representatives of the employees of
The United Gas Improvement Com
pany, the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany and The Philadelphia Gas
Works Company are highly crafty
ing" said John E. Zimmerman,
Peresident of The United Gas I'm
Company and Chairman
of the Board of the Philadelphia
Electric Company. ''Their action
shows that they realize the urgent
need of help for their less fortunate
fellow citizens. / am preparing a
letter of appreciation which will be
forwarded to approximately 1900
of the three companies
interested. This, as far as / know,
is the first instance in which the
of utility have taken such
a forward step in the relief of want. -
