HOW THE RAILROADS NOW PENSION THEIR EMPLOYES - Service on the Pennsylvania Regarded as Permanent Example is followed by Many Others.

FOLLOWING THE FLAG.

With the railroads the pension idea has been growing apace. In 1905 Mr. M. Riebenack, comptroller of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, compiled for the use of the International Railway Congress a valuable book of statistics bearing upon all kinds of railway provident institutions, and from its pages we learn that at the dato of his inquiry eighteen . railroads reported pension schemes, sixteen being in operation and two practically ready for launching. The beneficiaries of these schemes represent about twenty four per cent of the total railway mileage of the United States, and number 500,000 souls, or about thirty-eight per cent of the total employes in the country. The funds for carrying out these schemes represent annual appropriations not in excess of $1,350,000, when necessary to carry out the payment of pension allowances, while eight of ther roads set aside originally as the basis of pension or working funds an amount aggregating ?G00,0Q0. Twelve of the roads have expended since organization an aggre

gate of $2,500,00(1, and the roads concerned were carrying on their pension rolls 3,200 names at the end of 1903, while the aggregate mortaility among pensioners numbered 1,150 Although it was not the first to inaugurate a pension system, the Pennsylvania Railroad's system may be taken as the model. It has been followed by most of the roads when taking up the pension idea. In the service of this great railroad, employment is generally accepted as permanent. The age limit for entrance in the service to take advantage of the pension plan is thirty-five years, so' that a man may be retired at sixtyfive with thirty years of service. Retirement is compusory at seventy years of age, and may be made voluntary for incapacitation between the ages of sixty-five and sixty-nine, after thirty years service. The pension, allowance is based on age and service, and is computed on the basis of one per cent of the average monthly pay for the ten years preceding retirement. The railroad carried 2,134 names at the close of 1903. Leslie's Weekly, Nov. '2(0

Favored by Ridgeley. Washington, Dec. 15. William E. Rldgley, comptroller of the currency, advocated before the house committee on banking and currency the proposed credit currency plan.

This, he thought, was a much superior method to the high tax plan with no reserves. He strongly favored having the government guarantee such credit carrenoy. Oil Tank Explosion. Fremont, O., Dec. 15.

FOR INCREASED SALARIES.

Congressman Watson Says He Will Introduce Bill to Benefit Rural ' Route Carriers.

Congressman Watson is ono of the leaders of the movement to secure additional pay for rural letter carriers.

"It is a mystery to me," said he, "how a rural letter carrier can live and make both ends meet, especially if he has a family to support. The maximum pay of $720 a year seems pitiably small when we take into consideration the increased cost of the neces saries of life and the fact that the carrier must furnish his own rig. If no one else introduces a bill to increase the compensation of rural car riers I shall do so."
