W. F. Campfield, a clerk in the War De-
partment writes The Star in this connec-
ton as follows:
1.-THE Tawney bill, providing for the re-
tirement of superannuated government
clerks at their own expense, is still mat
ter of absorbing interest and discussion in
tine departments, as. in fact, II has been
ever since it was introduced. a very con-
sentative estimate would place the number
of those in favor of it, or something soual-
ly as good at at least 80 per cent OF all
the employees; but as all new projects, no
natter how commendable, are sure to meet
with opposition, so this measure has stirred
up few DIRECTORS, who, though small in
number, make a great deal of noise, resist
ance being active, and apparently all of
them have made themselves heard, while
the friends of the bill seem content to re-
main passive and trust in Congress. But
as so much space has been given to the OBJ
jectors, the writer desires, in the interests
of equity and fair play, to go on record as
favoring the scheme, and to call attention
to a few fallacies of the opposition. He is
employed in the War Department, belongs
to the junior contingent and is posted on
the general sentiment in his bureau. The
clerks therein are practically unanimous in
favor of it. only one having expressed him
self against 1t. The opposition, either
through organic weakness, ignorance or de-
sign, make some very misleading state
mentS. Yet their arguments and the rea-
sons they advance might have a tendency
to create a wrong impression among those
who have only specifically examined the
subject. In fact, they don't tote fair
Not au Oppressive Measure.
This measure originated among the
clerks themselves. and is not an effort on
the part of anybody, as has been claimed.
to inaugurate an oppressive measure. It
was quietly agitated in the departments for
some time, the consensus of opinion bei,,1
very much in its favor even in The rough
and indefinite form Of Its inception. A cam
vass Of the departments will show, IN every
instance, that an overwhelming majority
are in favor of 1t. The older clerks would
be pleased to be able to retire with an as
