RETRENENT L PASSIE 1S SEE Government Employes As- sured of Early Action on Measure by Congress. Government employes are assured by their authorized legislative representa- tives that prospects are bright for early enactment in the coming short session of Congress of the liberalized civil service retirgment bill, which has pass- ed the Senafe and is awaiting action in the House with a special rule ordered by the rules committee. 2 Leaders of the organized civil serv- ice workers have been in conference with Chairman Snell of the rules com- mittee while he was at home during the recess and have been encouraged to believe that he will call up the special rule early in the coming session. The understanding is that the rule was not brought up in the House during the closing days of the last session to ac- Senate by Senator Dale of Vermont. ‘The House bill was more liberal than the Senate measure, but the legislative status is that the bill as it passed the Senate has been substituted for the House bill. It is expected that Chair- man Lehlbach, other members of the civil service committee and House lead- ers from both parties pledged to work for liberalized civil service laws will appeal to Chairman Snell as soon as he reaches the Capital to get the earli- est possible action. The executive committee of the Joint Conference on Retirement, represent- ing the army of Government employes, has a tentative appointment for a con- ference next week with Chairman Lehl- back and other members of the House civil service committee, dependent upon the date of Mr. Lehlbach's return from his mission to Texas as chairman of the sp committee on campaign ex- penditures. Those who will represent the Government employes at the con- ference are: Robert H. Alcorn, chair- man of the Joint Conference on Re- tirement; Edward J. Gainor, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers; M. L. Finnan, national secre- ary of the letter carriers; Thomas J. Flaherty, secretary-ireasurer of the conference and also of the National Federation of Post Office Clerks; Leo Georgz, national president of the Post Your Thanksgiving Office clerks; Willlam M. Collins, presi- dent of the Railway Mail Association; Henry W. Strickland, industrial secre- tary of the Railway Mail Association; Fred S. Walker, secretary of Typo- graphical Union, 101; President Leach of the Typographical Union; N. P. Alifas, president of District 44, Govern- ment Machinists; George J. Simmons, representing the printing pressmen, and Thomas A. Franklin, president of the pressmen’s union. United Support Foreseen.

Tgle bill provides for a maximum en- nuity of $1,200. It changes the divisor from 45 to 40 in the computation of annuities, which is an advantage to the low-paid employes. It grants optional retirement after 30 years of service, two years in advance of the automatic re- tirement ages in each group—-the auto- matic ages being 62, 65 and 70 years.
