“BENEFITS DESERVED”
SUPERANNUATION FOR RAILWAY MEN GIVE LIVES TO WORK A few reasons why Railway Department employees were fully deserving of superannuation benefits were advanced by Mr. E. Casey, divisional superintendent of tho North Island, when ho spoke at a smoke concert held in the Railway Social Ilall on Saturday evening in honour of Mr. J. D. Keen, who has retired after 40 years’ service with the department. Mr. Casey said that members of the public sometimes criticised the superannuation scheme. After all. the employees made a solid contribution to the fund and the benefits were by no means in tho form of a gift. Railwaymen’s activities were circumscribed. They gave their lives to their work. It occupied their whole attention and they had not the opportunities of the business man to increase their incomes. The superannuation scheme was an agreement between employees and employer so that no man who had given his life to the service of the Railway Department and the public should want in his old age.
