There is an Employes’ Benefit Association (voluntary) providing disability and death benefits for a small weekly payment. Sick allowances are granted in times of illness, and pensions for disability and old age are provided without expense to the employe. Under a two year time payment plan 4,000 em- ployes have become shareholders in Swift & Company. Company physicians attend employes needing their help at the plant and at home, without charge. More than 1,500 of the 7,500 men who left to join the army and navy have returned to their jobs, and jobs are waiting for the others as soon as they return. At the general office in Chicago, every boy is given an hour’s schooling daily on company time, such work being accredited by the high school authorities in securing a two year commercial course diploma. A summer home is maintained at Fish Lake, Indiana, near Chicago, where women plant employes may spend their vacations, without cost.
