IN that article it is stated that the bill
introduced in The House Thursday by Mr.
Gillett Of Massachusetts, which provides
for the retirement of superannuated en-

the officers, nor members of the exeeu-
tive committee OF that association. had
any knowledge Of the bill whatever until
they saw IN the morning papers the no.
tice of its Introduction in Congress.
While on this subject, it may be proper
to state that the association intends to
present bill TO Congress which will pro-
vide for setirements IN the CLASSIFIED

the payment Of retired employees, but mas

ure. These data were called for BY a Senate
resolution Of February %, 1901. and it is
confidently expected that it will be fur
nished in the very near future
