Pension Rules Ban Workers Over Thirty Five on Oregon Short Line
New pension regulations from the Oregon Short Line announce a ban on inexperienced applicants over 35 and experienced workers over 45 for long term service. The board sets pension at 1 percent per year of the last decade’s average pay, with a $50,000 fund and possible extra yearly aid $25,000. Continuity of service includes leaves and suspensions, and a six month initial trial for new hires with extensions if work continues. A separate note discusses freight rates on a Boston company vessel and questions about transcontinental service and government cargo contracts.

Hill blocks renewal of round trip landseekers rates
The Minneapolis Times reports James J. Hill opposed renewing round trip landseekers rates for the Minneapolis-Chicago lines after talks with Great Northern and Northern Pacific officials. Hill said the rates produced no revenue, while VPs Blabon and Hannaford favored them and the Northern Securities president opposed. With one-way rates set to take effect Feb 15, settlers fear loss of western development without favorable landseekers rates.
