Civil service employes want the |same retirement privileges now en- Joyed by officers in the Army and Navy, and are deermined to wage a battle for them during the first months of the coming administration. “The same as the Army and Navy,” is the slogan adopted by several groups of government workers who are making a fight for the right of civil service employes in the depart- ments to retire after thirty years service, irrespective of age. These determined elements consti- tute part of the membership of the joint conference on retirement, which probably will meet soon after inau- guration to consider the whole mat- ter of retirement. It is pointed out that many gov- ernment workers, especially men in the navy yards, feel that they should be accorded the right to retire after thirty years' service, in order that they may start In some business of their own while they yet have suffi- cient vigor to carry out such projects. Could Retire at Fifty. If the thirty-year retirement privi- {lege were accorded the rank and file of government workers, it is claimed, from the service upon annuity at the age of fifty years. With the annuity which they would enjoy from the gov- ernment, it is believed they might build up small businesses of their own {before ‘old age completely overtook i them. Increased annuities for all civil service annuitants will be the first plank In the campaign to be waged next administration by the joint con- ference on retirement. This problem has been up again and again since the retirement law was put into oper- ation. It is claimed that the aver- age annuity is too small to enable a retired_clerk to live upon it. Another demand is that more liberal use be made by departntent heads. of the privilege of retaining efficient men who have passed the present re- tirement ages. It is claimed that too little use is being made of this privi- lege, under the rules now in force. DIPLOMATS MADE HAPPY. Plans Announced for Their Part at Inauguration, March 4. Perturbation in the diplomatic corps over its status at the inau; cere- monies on March 4 because of the simplicity of the proceedings has been removed by announcement at the Capitol that cards of admission to the Senate chamber would be substituted f:)r the usual formal engraved invita- tions. These cards are now being assorted and will be sent to the State Depart- ment within a few days for distribu- tion to the diplomats and their wives. As is customary, the diplomats will be given places on the Senate floor for the inauguration of lvin Coolidge as Vice President and then will move out to the steps on the east front of the Captiol for the inauguration of President-elect Harding. At the Senate ceremonies the wives of the diplomats will occupy the dip- lomatic gallery. The foreign envoys, resplendent in the gorgeous court uni- forms, will form in the Senate marble room and be escorted into the Senate ahn.mher in the order of their prece- ence.

Wilson, president; John W. Davidge, Harvey W. Wiley, Walter R. Tucker- man and Walter I. McCoy, vice presi- dents: Charles V. Imlay, secretary, and Pickering Dodge, treasurer. KANN FIRM EXONERATED.
