Electric Manu- facturing company today announced the adoption of a policy whereby ‘each person on the corporation’s payroll becomés insured in favor . of -their wife and children or others who need his protection. The arrangement, which becomes operative immediately, entitles every person in the company’s employ to a life insurance policy of from $200 ta $1,000, depending on the time of the individual's services, all the premiums to be paid by the com- pany. Policies on every person on the company’s payroll have been taken out with the Trevelers Insurance com- | pany of Hartford and are mnow ‘in effect, an arrangement having been made whereby not even medical examination of the insured is neces- sary. Besides providing for protection for the families of employes in the event of their death, the policies will make it possible to ald workmen disabled through disease or u:cldtzt while they remain alive, the insurante to be dis- tributed in instaiiments annually for twenty years. \The ipsuring of .mploye- by manu- facturers is a novelty in this section of the country and the Trumbull com- pany .in adopting the policy followed the principles for which its remark- able sucgess is -largely accountable, ‘“the manufacture of a product second to none,. the establishing of workshops: first.class .in physical . and ., sanitaty | condjtions, the employment and reten- tion of skilled operativgs, the ent of the highest-possible remun pmon and the maintaining of a .co-opera- tive and constructive interest in the people in their service.” Stanley S, @willim, the company’s office’ manager and former superin- tendent of production, has been at work on the scheme for a number of months and this morning he an- nounced its satisfactory completion. Mr. Gwillim stated that a man who works faithfully for any corparation or individual and by his loyalty and physical and mental effort aids .in making the business engaged in a success, heis entitled to something more than the .pay he receives: each week. “He. has given up the-best vears of his life to the company’s in- terests and as he is in a measure re- sponsible for its prosperity he is en- titled to have a share of the profits,” said Mr. Gwillim. The dividend given to the workmen in the share of life insurange policies which shall be a protection to their familles in . case they' should di¢ is one that will be greatly appreciated by every person on the payroll and will no doybt tend to make the relatians between . the Circle T help nnd the company even. more friendly "than they are at predent. 320 People to Benefit, “The company now has 320 persons, including its sales and office force and a life insurance policy is to be issued for each of them. The concern will bear the entire burden aof the premiums. The officers admit that the amount which it will have to pay annually will be considerable but they believe it to be a good investment. The statement given out through Mr. Gwillilm announcing' the details of the plan, contains an introduction which avers that “the aims of the company, the officers believe, has been attained during the unusual perplex- .|ing industrial conditions of the past two years. They have been accom- plished - largely through the ' loyalty and efficiency of the men and women employed' by the company.

Company after conference with such employe and his or her bene- lary. “If an employe by continuous em- ployment for eight years has attained the maximum amount of $1,000 and becomes totally disabled through ac- cident or disease, then $1,000 plus in- terest, will be distributed in . equal annual instaliments. stallment to be paid six months after receipt of due proof of permanent total ' disability. If- the employe should die before the entire amount is distributed, then the balance would be pajd to his or her dependents. “It gives us pleasure, therefore, to announce to those who have been in our employ for three months or more continuously, that they are now with- out expense to them protected by life insurance, payable to their bene- ficlaries in the event of death, while in our employment. No Medical Examination. «The protection of one's family in the event of death is of vital impor- tance. The ordinary cpst of life in- surance in proper amo! nt 1s so great as to cause heavy burden upon one’s income. In addition many would be unable to pass the rigid physical examipation required for individual insurance. “We are therefore pleased to an- nounce that by arrangemient with the Travelers Insurance company, of Hart- ford, this insurance will ‘bd granted to all employes according to the plan which has been named, with medical examination. The insurance will ap- ply to all employes while they are in our service, “In conmsummating this umnge- ment, it gives us pleasure to acknowl- edge the intelligent and zealotis serv- ice which has characterized the work of the men’ and: women 'in our em- ploy,in the ‘past, and which we. have firm confidence will be contmuea in 'F;rllovlng a 'oet\ns ofithe commn- B itee lppoflnted.to ‘have, charge . ot’ the ‘organizing ' of Athe ‘Home ‘Guard - In .Pl&hwille.‘ 1 it evenh\t, it was announced hat a. public’ sesslon will o held ! in the ‘Tbwm.
