To retain in the Pullman service experienced car employes of high personal qualifications, pensions are provided for the years that follow their retirement from active service, provision afforded for sick relief assistance and increases in pay are given at regular intervals with respect to the number of years of continuous and satisfactory employment. A further inducement in which civility and courtesy are counted of great importance, is the award of an extra month's pay each year for an unblemished record. As a result, a large percentage of Pullman conductors and porters are qualified by many years of experience to render passengers the highest type of personal service.
