the Treasury failed. The result viii be
made known az another private meeting
next week. The nature Of the petition
TO Mr.. MaeVeagh was not made public, rs
It was not thought courteous 10 do so
before its presentation,
If the enthusiasm with which the
clerks petition for the contributory re-
tirement fund was signed yesterday may
| be taken as an indication. the petition
will be presented TO Congress in a few
days signed by practically all Of the
civil servants In the District Of Column
bla.
The circulation OF the petitions began
early yesterday morning, The Civil
Service Relief Association had the mat
ter in charge and saw 10 il that through
every division and bureau the clerks had
chance 10 afix their signatures. Even
those who were thought to be strongly
in favor OF a straightOut pension sys-
tem-a system that has no possible
chance of getting through Congress
seemed to recognize that IN the present
| conservative petition lay their only hope
and they signed
