Retirement Law Of paramount interest was dlscossion concerning modification of the retirement law. At present| a clerk must be 65 years of age be- | : fore being eligible for retirement. Retirement has not cost the federal ', government a penny, Messrs. Morton | and Smith claimed, although the fund is accumulating rapidly. The government deducts 83 1-2 per cent from the clerks’ salary for the bene- fit of the fund. The clerks are ad- vocating optional ret.rement after 30 years of service, claiming that a man’s efficiency is seriously impair- ed by the time he reaches the age of 65 to the disadvantage of the service. They say that if a man| gives 30 years of his life to the pos- | tal clerk service he is justified in asking for retirement. The retirement subject has reach-| od oongress after 26 years of agita- | tion and it is proposed to appoint a committee to investigate the ques- tion. The federation of clerks op- | poses this project. “It is merely a subterfuge to choke the real issue,” Messrs. Morton and 8mith declared. ‘The federation also brought up the suhject of night work. It is claimed | that the health of the clerks is seri- | ously impaired and their efficiency reduced. The clerks want a time differential between 6 p. m. and sam the Half Holidays | BSaturday half holidays were agi- tated at the convention session. Oth- | 7 er departments in the federal serv- ¢ ice grant Saturday half holidays, it i was claimed, and the clerks belleve i they should have them also. At present Saturday half holidays are 1aft to the discretion of the postmas- ters. Politica! rights of civil service em- ployes, which has been a bone of contention for years, were discussed | at length. It was pointed out that the constitution of the United Riates gives every citizen the right to ex- press his opinions on political sub. jects. But, the clerks allege, they are gagged by civil service regula. tions and they cannot understand why they should not have the same | privilege enjoyed by their fellow | rgn-u. They want restrictions cast! of. | Many other questions of interest| ‘0 the clerks were brought up at the | nieeting.
