The Democrats are opposed to this

Administration Plans.
/ The administration legislative plan

manded by organized labor, and
plan Of pension retirement for aged
civil employees OF the government
With the end In view of forming a
cohesive Republican working force
TO accomplish that which he has at
heart. the president has had several
conferences with leading regulars and
progressives at which his program has
