CLERKS CHEERED
BY PENSION TALK
Mr.. SuIzer Tells Them 1t Is
Bound to Come.
TOO MANY PRYING OFFICIALS
john Joy Edison Raps New Heads for
+, Experimenting "Senseless Pet
Schemes"

That "bugbear' Of Congress-the civil
pension ljst-bobbed up sereneIy last
night. when Representative William
Sulzer Of New York, as the principal
speaker a a meeting Of the Treasury
branch Of the Civil Service Retirement
Association. at National Rifles Armory.
told nearly 200 department clerks that
the passage Of their bills now pending
IN Congress. 10 provide for retirement
whom the period of superannuation IS
reached was only a forerunner Of what
was bound 10 come IN timc-the pension
ing OF al Federal employees at the end
Of certain term OF service. Mr.. Sulzer
went still further by declaring that al
though the crril pension scheme was
''the haunting fear of Congress" it must
ultimately come. because Il was only
in the sense OF right and justice that
faithful employees, after a long term
Of useful service, should be taken care
OF in old age. instead Of permitting
them TO become a charge Of public char
ity or burden to relatives
The New Yorker further won the
plaudits Of his bearers by declaring
that Government employees have the In
alienahle right of pctitioning Congress
in seeking to secure the passage Of their
One Way of Banking"
Mr.. SuIzer concluded by stating that
the plan Of retiring aged department
clerks with provision against want
would be popular with the American
people. just as the pensioning of old SOL
diers was, when II was better under
stood; and that actuated by such feel
ing he would use whatever influence he
could muster TO get Congress to pass the
pending bills, which, he declared. were
no more or less than a plan 10 save the
clerks own money, with Uncle Sam
as the banker.
Frederick T. Siddons, n member Of the
National Civil Service Reform League.
spoke I'm advocacy Of the Retirement As
sociation's plan as being the most feas-
ible to provide against pennIless super
annuatIon
1T is absurd to set an arbitrary age
limit Men are not inefficient because
they have reached certain age. and
their retirement from Government ser
vice should be regulated wholly by eff
cheney"
Officials "Senseless Pet Schemes"
John JOY Edison declared that his en-
tire sympathies were with The Govern
mont clerks in their effort to secure
proper recognition of their claims be-
fore Congress. THE trouble is" he said
that a clerks efficiency is hindered by
so many new officials trying their pet
