FEDERAL ANNUITIES DECLARED To0 LOW Federal Employes’ Federa- tion Seeks World-Wide Union of Workers. ‘The average annual annuity paid to | those on the retirement rolis of the Government is $746.30. Only 23.8 per cent of the annuitants receive the max- imum annuity of $999.96 per year. The total number of annuitants on the rolls is 16,501, of whom 3,933 get the maxi- mum annuity. This ranges downward until it reaches 10 annuitants getting less than $100 annually. These facts were laid yesterday before the executive council of the National Federation of Federal Employes, meeting 1in executive session at the Labor Build- ing, 10 B street southwest. Along with the figures the council also had under con- sideration a plan for spreading throu out the servants of the United States Government, no matter where in the world they may be located, the doctrine of membership within the federation. The organization committee of the fed- eration has given extended study toward formulation of a world-wide plan for in- cluding on its rolls workers in all branches of the Government service, with the exception of postal employes, ®0 that they may unite for better work- ing conditions and higher retirement annuities, ‘With presentation of the table show- ing the average annuities and other &uns‘ the delegates were presented th tabulations showing that 8337, more than half of those on the annuity rolls, receive less than $800 and 4,715 receive less than $600 and 1,400 less than $400. Use of the 40 divisor instead of the 45 divisor will add one-eighth, or 121, per cent, to all annuities, the delegates ‘were told. Those having salaries in excess of $1,500 will aiso receive an. additional benefit and the use of a five- year term instead of & ten-year term, also will help a number. Those receiv- ing the smaller annuities can best be helped by & minimum annuity, Luther Steward, president of the federation, said. 5 Here is the statement, showing the number of annuitants on the retire- ment roll by rates: 3 Number receiving the maximum, $999.96, per annum, 3,933; number ceiving less than maximum, 12,5 number receiving between $900 an $999.96, 1,750; number receiving less than $900, 10,818; number receiving between $800 and $900, 2,481; number receiving less than $800, 8.337; number receiving between $700 and $800, 1,935; number receiving less than $700, 6,4 number recelving between $600 a $700, 1,687; number receiving less. than $600, 4,715; number receiving between $500 and $600, 1,630; number receiving less than $500, 3,085; number receiving | between $400 and $500, 1,685 number receiving less than $400, 1,400; number receiving between $300 and $400, 827; number receiving less than $300, 573; number receiving between .$200 and $300, 436 number receiving less than $200, 137; number receiving .between $100 and $200, 127; number receiving less than $100, 10. WOMEN'S INFLUENCE IN AUTO SALES SEEN, Display -Interest—in-Appeintments ; and Show Knowledge of Motor and Brakes. Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 9.—The in- creasing influence of the woman folks in the selection and purchase of the family car was a subject of comment today at the thirtieth annual national auto- | mobile show. ‘Women made up sbout half of the crowds which visited the show yester- day, officials estimated, and displa; lively interest not only in line and finish, upholstery fabrics and appointments, but also asked intelligent questions | about engine and brake performance- Peminine preference in finish, sales- | men said, seemed to be for the more subdued shades, although harmonizing tones attracted much attention. Their questions also indicated par- tieular interest in gear shifting and brakes and other péints conducive to ease of handling in- traffic. Henry and Edsel Ford were among the leaders of the automotive industry who attended the annual banquet of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce last night. George M. Graham, vice president of the Willys-Overland Co., the principal speaker, said there was no danger of & &lump in 1930, but that changes in the industry were necessary. “A ‘more conservative produckion schedule will be an outstanding feature of the industry this year,” he said, add- !l-’\.“l that increasing export trade will elp.
