They could not be retired under the general re- tirement law_ because they were not in the classified service and also be- cause their regular pay was below the lowest amount of retirement pay specified in the law. Some one hearing of their plight brought the matter to the attention of Secretary Weeks and he suspended the order for their discharge until he could | ascertain if there was not some way | to avold throwing them out of the service without any resources. Inves- | tigation showed that nothing could be done for them unless they were placed in the classified civil service ahd the general retirement law amended by Congres to meet just such cases.
