J- Cassatt, Who Intended It as a Surprise. (Special to The Evening World.) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.—From point to point over the telegraph lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad to-day was flashed the joyful news that 59,000 employees would receive an incréase of 10 per cent. in their dating from the first of the present month. The word was sent out from President Cassatt’s office, and in a remarkable short space of time every di- vision superintendent had been notified. This increase affects the em= ployees east of Pittsburg and Erle only. : As soon as the superintendents received the news it was transferred to heads a departments, who quickly posted notices acquainting their sub ordinates of the fact, and general rejoicing followed. : DECISION REACHED YESTERDAY. ‘The determination to increase salaries all around was arrived at during the meeting of the Board of Directors yesterday. It was determined, how- ever, that official word should first be sent to the employees this morning — before the actiow should be’made public. It therefore followed that the first _ inkling ot the road's generosity came from the men themselves. The official: notification gates that all employees who receive a salary of $200 per. month or less will bé the recipient. of 10-per cent. increase’ to date from Noy. 1. “Tr dsvesttninted that the Pennsylvania Railroad has in its employ east” ‘of Pittsburg ard Frie at the present time 60,000 men, and at least 98 per cent. cf taese are affected by the increase. Under normal circumstances only 45,000 would be employed, but the tremendous increase in foreiga traffic has necessitated the employment of at least 15,000 more. L CAME AS A.

The increase of salaries announced to-day by the Pennsylvania system, Bu- prone Court and have their \vaildity [while it does not affect all the 80,000 employees, is the second announced within a year. Last January a raise in wages amounting from 4 to 12 per i they will have to do the |gent. was granted to every employee of the company, trom the humblest fiagman to the most resplendent trainman or the portliest official. The wage increase made a year ago cost the company about $1,000,000 annually. Evidently the policy paid, for with the tremendous increase im the number of employees that is’ to result from the construction of the new North River tunnel and the establishment of the New York and Long Island terminals the pay-roll will be increased a sum beyond the total wage expéfise of many smaller lines. eh In addition to the policy of increasing wages the Pennsylvania system inaugurated some time ago a system of pensions for superannuated or dig~ abled employees that is said to be the most liberal in the®country. Nearly every railroad of prominence ha# a Relief Fund, the bulk of which is com- tributed by the employees, although the companies manage it without compensation and donate sufficiont amounts to keep the treasury funds up to a required figure. ‘ BULK OF EXPENSE BORNE BY COMPANY. The Pennsylvania Fund, while resembling the plan of other railroads in some respects, {s more radical in that the bulk of the expense falls upon the company, and that in addition to supplying sick and death benefits it takes care of employees compelled to retire because of long service or dit» ablement. . Ten years of labor were spent before the plan was perfected, There’ were many difficulties to be oyercome. Finally it was decided that the echeme decided upon could not be improved, and although there was some protest from aged, but still vigorous, employees it was put into effect. Employees of the Penneylvania are now compelled to retire when they reach the age of seventy years. Between the ages of sixty-five and sixty-nine years they may be retired upon proof of physical disability. The pension plan incorporates’ the payment of an amount equal to 1 per cent. of the annual wages for each year of service. For instance a man whose average wages while in the employ of the company were $800 a year and who had worked for thirty years, would receive 30 per cent. of his salary or $Ha annually after retirement and until death, There are now about 1,600 re- tired: employees on the pension rolls, to whom are paid more than $300,000 a year. * Q Ps No man fs taken on as an employee of the Pennsylvania who is over thirty-five years of age, unless exceptional circumstances should prevail, or, unless he had been employed at some previous time and had terminated connection with the company amicably.
