Justice Allen told with humorous detail of a murder trial she had wit- nessed in “Old Bailey” in London, and contrasted the speed with which mur- der cases are prosecuted in England and in the United States to the great detriment of this country. This con- dition the lawyers also could and would remedy if they had the proper ideal of their profession, the 110 wom- an members of the bar who were ecent were told. Now that women have all the rights | that men possess, they should also as-| sume the same duties, Justice Freder- ick L. Siddons of the District Supreme Court, another speaker, declared. The woman lawyers should not strive for laws of special privileges for their own sex, but should look to the fu- ture and attempt to secure laws that are best for the “human family tha i de up of both men and women, said. Justice James ¥. Smith of the United States Court of Customs Ap- the one other man on the list akers, gave it as his opinion that women' should not participate in their present widened sphere of activ- ity, but it they insisted on_ entering the law and politics they should ac- cept ther responsibility ~of leading for which the association had been working.

Mr. Hudson scored the present ye- rement bill and criticised its oper- ation under which he said not one dollar had been expended by the Government toward: i favored a retirement creased from the present law to “at least §1,200." Features of the new bill to be introduced Dale and Mr. Lehlbach were explain by Mr. Alcorn. The bill provide for increasing the maximum annu from $1,000 to $1,200. Calculation of the anuity would be based on the last five years of the employes’ serv- ice, instead of the 10 years now 11 law. The annuity would use an average annual salary basis of $1,600. The divisor for computing the annu- ity would be 40 instead of the pres- ent 45 in the law. This latter change would increase annuities. Provision is made for giving op- tional retirement after 30 vears of service. ~Retirement allowances of those already retired would be recom- puted on a basis taking Into considera- tion the salary they would now be re- ceiving had they remained in the Gov- ernment ser ) Aleorn said, would increase the smaller annuities.
