These reductiond have been made supposedly in accordance with relative efliciency. Men who have served the United States gov- ernment from fifteen to thirty years or more, with large families, have been discharged, and other employes who have served less than five years, who have no families, have been re- tained. \Under the retiremens act of May 22, 1920, these men, practically none | of whom has reached the age of re- tirament—sixty-five years—are de- prived of all annuity benefits from the government to which they should morally be entitled under a fair and equitable plan of dealing with em- ployes in the civil service. Speaking for the navy yard and arsenal em- ployes, Mr. Alifas argued to the com. | miftee’ that legislation should be en- { acted which would entitle all em-} ployes who have been discharged for lack of work or lack of appropria-{ tions, and without delinquency, to a cer- | tificate signed by the commissioner ! of pensions 1o the effect that such | Two of the housewife’s best friends.
