Mutual benefit unity urged between employers and workers
Discussion from The Times on the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief Department and similar beneficent organizations. It argues that well run mutual benefit systems align interests of labor and capital, reduce misfortune, and should be adopted by large employers to foster stability and loyalty among skilled workers. It cites oil-well lore from Stannard's Corners and notes a Chicago insurance case pending before Judge Dyer about whether death by self act counts as an accident for policy purposes.
