Classified Clerks Relief Fund.
n tbe Editor of The Evening Star;

One of your correspondents had a
thoughtful word to say on this subject in
The Star few days ago. Being a high pri-
vate in the army Of government clerks l
am naturally interested in any proposed
measure of relief that has showing of be-
ing based on anything like equity and JUS
tice. alike to the government and to the
individual. But for several years bills have
been introduced in Congress, each different
from the other, yet al apparently more or
less Objectionable. Everybody comedies the
reasonableness of some measure of mutual
protection to employer and employee. The
principle has long been directly acknowl-
edged in many ways by our government.
notably in its legislation for army and navy
employees; also recognized by municipal reg
uiation of police and fire departments: and
again by large corporations like the Penn
sylvania Railway Company.
The distinct benefits arising from an equi-
table approximation measure overwhelm-
ingly outweigh any possible disadvantages
that might follow. The retirement of an
old and more or less inefficient clerk would
necessarily result in the improved condition
OF the service for from one to seven pro-
motions would follow each case of retire
ment. in itself direct stimulus to eff
cheney, with the addition of fresh and
younger blood to- the service in the form of
a new appointee. While those who go out
whether from physical disability, age, or
length of service, would be measurably
provided for during life.
There seems to be considerable difference
of opinion as to the percentage to be de-
Quoted from ones monthly salary, in order
to pay not over 80 per cent of ones aver
age annual salary on retirement This va
ries from to 10 per cent, which is too
wide margin.
THO nearest figure possible should be de-
terrpined on before any bill is passed, though
always subject to amendment, either by in
creasing the amount to be deducted, or by
reducing the amount to be paid. A maxi
mum per cent might be named, with, ''or
so much thereof as may be necessary"
The Post Office Bulletin" of Chicago in
its issue of the 10th of May, notifies the
public of the organization there in aid of
this movement, in which connection it
quotes the following from the recent, the
sixteenth report Of the civil service COM
mission:
