LR.T Pension PIanLs Part Of Scheme
OF Subway Bosses to CutWorkers Pay

make 1t seem that the pension
scheme is voluntary for the men in
service before June 80, 1884. But
is it really so? Not at all. In the
three month period the company
can do many things to ACTUALLY
FORCE THE MEN to sign the
agreement. What is to prevent the
company from calling in each man
separately and convincing" him he
should sign? Or not granting
leaves of absence to those who don't
sign? Or even firing some men
and rehiring them as new men, so
that they would have to sign the
pension agreement in order to get
back their jobs?
Paragraph 1O-"The Pension Plan
shall be administered by a Pension
Board, consisting of three employees
appointed by the receiver and
(here is the joker two employees to
be selected by the person who shall
be, in the opinion of the receiver,
the representative of majority of
the employees"
And whom does the receiver con-
slider the representative Of a ma
jority of the employes2" Connolly,
of course! The same Connolly who
works hand in glove with the COM
pany to fire militant workers. The
same Connolly who helped put
across the 10 per cent cut. Will
the employees have any representa-
ton on the Pension Board? None
at all.
Paragraph 1.-THE Pension
Board shall, subject to the approval
of the receiver, have power to make
and enforce reasonable rules and
regulations to determine the
eligibility of employees to receive
pensions; to fix the amount of such
pensions pursuant to the provisions
of this agreement"
In other words, no man is sure of
the amount of the pension or
even getting it at all, since the
company picked Pension Board
shall have power to determine
the eligibility of employees to re-
ceive pension"
The same paragraph continues;
"The Board may appoint a secre-
tary, and such other employees as
may be necessary, AND THE COM
PENSATION OF SUCH employees
SHALL BE FIXED BY THE PEN
SION BOARD subject to the APP
proval of the receiver" A good
opening for easy graft at the ex-
pense of the men on the line.
Paragraph IL then goes on to say
what shall be done with the money.
1t says, in part: only such moneys
as may be necessary for current
needs shall be kept on deposit in a
bank. All other moneys shall
be invested in securities. :"
But how much security" will the
men get out of the money being
invested in securities?" The an
swer to that is in Paragraph Is,
which says: "On the termination of
the receivership !. the funds shall |
be liquidated and distributed among
the employees and to the re-
ceiver.

Pipe Makers Strike
Intact in Sixth Week

NEW YORK-The strike of II
employees Of the Supreme Briar
Company, Navy and johnson Sts.,
Brooklyn, for the reinstatement of
a discharged worker and for a 20
per cent wage increase entered its
sixth week today. The owners of
the plant are trying to operate with
scabs under police protection. The
strike is being led by the Indepen-
dent Smoking Pipe Makers Union
of America.

Men Injured Before 25
Years Service Not
Considered

"If upon the liquidation Of the
Pension Fund it shall be found
IMPOSSIBLE TO RETURN THE
CONTRIBUTIONS IN FULL BE-
CAUSE OF THE DEPRECIATION
IN THE VALUE OF THE INVEST
MENTS in the fund, then and in
such case the parties hereto agree
that the Pension Board shall return
to each employee such proportionate
part of such fund as he may be
entitled to receive and the de-
termination of the Pension Board
shall be final. :"
In plain language it means that
when the receivership ends the
securities can be sold at the market
price at that particular time, and
that whatever is gotten will be
divided between the receiver and
the men even if there is a loss. =.
Now, from the past record of the
company we know that they will
not stop at making a fake sale of
the property, juggling the securities
and amounts and making it seem
that there has been a great loss. So
that the men stand to lose almost
everything they pay for the pen
sion while the company makes easy
millions. This is just another way
of robbing the underpaid employees
of the I. r. T.
Paragraph 1.-THE costs and
expenses of any litigation aris-
ing out of the agreement /. which
are not payable by the employees,
SHALL BE A CHARGE AGAINST
THE PENSION FUND and be pay
able therefrom AND NOT FROM
THE RECEIVERSHIP ESTATE OR
BY THE RECEIVER" That is, If
any lawsuit between the receiver
and the employees should arise over
the question of the pension all ex-
penses for this fight by the COM
pany against the men will be paid
by the very money which the men
paid into the fund.
Surely this pension scheme is
not one that the men should or can
agree to. Every paragraph is writ
ten so that it can be used in favor
of the company and against the
men.
The men must reject it. They
must raise the demand of the
Transport Workers Union that a
meeting be called in all Brother
hood locals to discuss and vote upon
the question.
The men must advance the pen
sion program of the Transport
Workers Union.
"All workers shall be eligible for
pension at half pay after IS years
of service, regardless Of age. Pen
sion to be fully covered by the COM
pany!"

ROSE BOWL LIGHT
GLEAMSA 'BAMA
South's Leader Favored to
Battle Coast Eleven in
Grid Classic.
BY the Associated Press.

~ ASADENA, Calf, November 10.
r 1.-The ,;a chances ar, were strong to,
day that the Rose Bowl bid will
go to the South this year, with
Alabama, successful previous visitor,
favored to make return bow.
The Crimson Tide and the Big Ten
fettered Gophers of Minnesota stood
out as the Nations leading unbeaten
and united grid elevens and the
chances we're long when the Pacific
Coast Conferences champion-prob-
ably Stanford sends out its call, the
'Bama boys will get it.
Should the faculty of the Western
Conference suddenly relent and break
the Big Tens post season-game
shackles. Minnesota would be neck
and neck with Alabama in the race
for the invitation.
Alabama must beat Vanderbilt to
keep its slate clean. Minnesota has
Wisconsin to subdue.
The East lost ground In its case
over the weekend, with the first de-
featS suffered by Syracuse. Navy and
Princeton. 1t still has unbeaten. but
tied, Temple. Colgate, with a defeat
by Ohio State, must be considered
Pittsburgh. frequent guest here, also
has an outside chance.
In the Southwest, Louisiana State
and Rice, unbeaten but tied, also held
hope.

They showed enough stuff to win
ordinarily. according to reports of the
battle at Bloomington. but that they
lost may in the end prove a benefit.
Anyway, they won't enter the George
town game suffering the reaction of a
major triumph.
Hagerty Is Wise.
n ELIEVING at the time the game
n was booked that the task of
beating Maryland would be
almost insurmountable, Jack Hagerty
sagaciously left an open date in the
Georgetown schedule to give the
Hoyas two full weeks to prepare for
the game, Nobody now can doubt
his wisdom. Georgetown will be
primed next Saturday as few foot
ball teams ever have an opportunity
to be.
And this is to be a scrap the like
of which Washington rarely has had
the opportunity to see. Chats with
warriors in both camps is con-
vincing on this point.
In view of its scarcity of first
class reserves, GeorgetOwn's lone
worry is the possibility of losing a
key man or two in scrimmage.
No secret is being made of the fact
that Coach Hagerty has saved lot of
stuff for the Maryland game and on
the other side you have the Terrapins
probably with little left that should
be new to the Blue and Gray.

OLD LINE SCOUTS
NEEDN'T Be TOLD
G. w. Proves Its Fighting

West Virginia.

b1 II. y. n ND.
"::. e: ;::5 ;s:. :.' Il: :.'; ';';s e; !:
lose another one if you
don't watch out" is the way Coach
Jack Hagerty of Georgetown summed
up his thoughts to Jack Faber of
Maryland Saturday after the In
diana Maryland foot ball game at
Bloomington.
And be it known that Hagerty has
not let any grass grow under his feet
in his efforts to keep tab on Mary
lands team during the last two
months, in the interests of his own
Blue and Gray squad for the game
this week at College Park. Hagerty
admits frankly that he knows
almost as much about Maryland's
plays and formations as Maryland
players themselves, which, considering
Georgetown's remarkably fine de-
tense all year, does not cause the
painting of very bright picture for
Maryland.
Georgetown is confident that it can
beat the Old Line eleven, and appar-
emily nothing has been seen to shake
that confidence.
In Baltimore a week ago at the
Maryland Virginia Military Institute
contest, Hagerty and his whole staff
of coaches sat in the press box Again
at Bloomington Saturday, Hagerty
kept a pair of field glasses trained on
the Maryland team from the second
the whistle blew until the last whistle
ended time. And this week he in
tends to spend showing his men how
to stop the Old Line attack and how
to break down the Old Line defense

Lund and KOstka.

VX7HAT about Lund and Kostka''
" I asked.
"Lund," Bernie said, "is a
star all-round backbone of the best
competitors l ever saw. You might
break him in two, but you couldn't
stop him.
"He can kick, pass, run, block
and tackle-and he hits just as
hard as KOstka.
"Kostka has much more than raw
power. Did you notice in the Chicago
game that he didn't make a single
straight line buck? He is one of the
quickest starters for a big man
ever saw, and he can change his
course without losing any power He
is a hard man to pull down, even
when you get a clear shot at him.
There was young fellow by the
name of Berwanger on Chicago who
wasn't any big flop" suggested.
"Berwanger is fine all-round back,
one of the best" Bernie answered.
All of which is 100 per cent cor
rect. His offensive and defensive play
for the first two periods stood out,
and yet, only three days before, they
had taken a cup of water from a
bruised knee cap.
Berwanger and Elwood Patter-
son, Chicago's center and captain,
put on a brave show until both
had to be removed from the heavy
battering thrown their way-slam-
bang-and crash-with no inter-
missions.
There are no intermissfons when
Stan Kostka is taking the ball. You
get no intermissions stopping buffalo
not buffalo that bounds along like
an antelope.
