BALDWIN PENSION
PLANS APPROVED
Locomotive Works Stock
holder Tries to Defeat
Idea, hut Fails
ANNUAL MEETING HELD
A lono dissenter nt the annual meet
ing of the stocklloldeis ot the Baldwin
Locomotive Works today was unsuc
cessful In an effort to have sidetracked
a plan to pension old employes of tho
company.
The man who tiled to throw- sand
on the otherwise well-oiled machinery of
a routlun meeting was John I.untz, a
Ualtlmora stockholder.
When It was advocated that the
board of directors be authorized to de
vise a plan to pension long-service men
Mr. I.untz objected. He based his re
monstrance on tho fact that no divi
dends havo been declared on the common
stock ot the company blnco 1914, and
demanded that the pension plan be
abandoned lit least until dividends were
paid on that stock.
Tn Work Out Details
Ills effort wiis not received with any
marked enthusiasm, and after very little
discussion the stockholders voted to
have the directors work out the details
of a pension scheme,
Mr. I.untz then desired to know what
.,., . ..,.. ..... .,..,,.. .. .,.
,saiaiies urn ucing j.iitci uiiiumia u, ma
Iluldnin Company. Ho was Informed
that the salaries had not been ralfad
over last year, when the figuics were'
read at the meeting of Stockholders.
Ho was told also that he could get
theso figures from the officers ot the
company.
Tho salaries of odlclals of the South
vvark Foundry and Machine Company,
a subsidiary concern, also interested
Mr. I.untz. The statement that the
meeting was not one of Kcuthwark stock
holders did not deter the Baltimore man,
and he persisted until ho was , uled out
of order.
Want Plant Apprulned
Ills next demand was that the euthe
stock and plant of the Baldwin Company
be appraised, and that a report ha pre
pared within six months for piesenta
tion to a special meeting -of stockhold
ers. to be called for tho purpose.
This tequest was set aside temporarily
to ajlow the election of dhectors to pro.
ceeil.
Twelve stockholders were nominated,
after which the nominations closed. As
twelve aie to be elected, tho nominations
aro equivalent to election. The twelve
follow :
William I Austin. Alba II. Johnson.
Samuel Mclloberts, Samuel jr. Vauclaln,
Samuel F. Prjor, William U Corey,
Sydney 11 Hutchinson, Sidney F. Tiler,
H. Daw-son Coleman, Harold T. White,
Thoinus a. Ashton and Arthur W. Sew
all. Charles A. Marsh, representing Xew
York banking Interests holding Baldwin
stock, protested to the meeting that an
agreement entered Into by the company
with the Now Yqrk Stock Hxchange lii
1911 to the effect that the annual re
port of the president should be sub
mitted to tho New York Stock Ex
change at least fifteen days before the
annual meeting was not being carried
out. He said that this year tho annual
report was not received until March 3,
just tin re days 'before the meeting.
Mr. Marsh had a number of questions
to ask concerning the company's affairs,
and was advised to ask them of officials
of the concern.
The meeting was hold In the main of
fices of the company at Ilroad and
.Spring tjarden streets. Samuel JU. Vau
claln, vice president of the concern, pre-sided.
