FOR THE BENEFIT
OF. AGED CLERKS

Washington. June 12-(Special) Before
a fortnight shall have elapsed Congress
will pass a bill for the retirement of aged
clerks in the government department of
pensions President Taft and the men,
bers of his cabinet has agreed upon a
plan placing superannuated clerks upon
an annuity based upon the amount of the
salaries. The question of age limit Is still
open.
At first it was suggested that all clerks
at the age of 70 years should be retired
upon pensions. 1t was suggested, now
ever, that some clerks at 10 are just as
good as others at So
Therefore a sort of sliding scale is be-
ing arranged, whereby some clerks will
be retired at 70, whereas others will work
five or ten years beyond this mark. The
pension plan has met with much opposi-
ton Many members in the Senate and
House have objected to it upon the
grounds that it is unfair to the taxpayers
to establish a pension bureau for govern
ment clerks.
As originally intended, the annuities
will be III per cent of the aggregate sal
airy that has been received by each clerk,
provided that such percentage Is not In
excess of $1,000.

carloads of farming implements Of the
most modern type will begin to arrive

great work which the Indian office has
undertaken-that of making a sue

TROUBLE CAUSED BY
RATE CONTROVERSY

New York, June 1.-THE course OF
the railroad rate controversy between
the government and the railroads was
ccompanied last week by violent spec
ulative perturbation and with violent
fluctuations. Tine confusion of the spec
ulation seemed to find its counterpart
in the views of financial and railroad
authorities on the situation created by
the pact between the government and
the railroads and by the pending rail-
road bills.
Railroad officials who on Monday
PROGRESSED to see the destruction of
railroad credit as a consequence of the
injunction against rate interests We're
quoted as cheerfully gratified by the
arrangement to postpone rate increases
until the ena ctment of the new law
discouraged views of the check admin
istered by the arrangement.
1t was claimed OH Monday that the
foreign market for American railroad
bonds had been destroyed by the in
junction proceedings although a cable
dispatch on that day reported a sale
of $25,000,000 Southern Pacific bonds to
a group of German bankers The stock
market kept in a turmoil by these con-
ficting views from sources usually ac-
cepted as authoritative and suspicion was
rife in the speculation of designs to
influence the market movement in be-
half of interrupted operati lions. The
downward plunge of prices on Monday
carried the list to the lowest level of
the year and the rebound of Tuesday
was even wilder.
More substantial factors received lit
tie consideration in the disorder of the
more highly speculative movements
The fact remained, however, that con-
siderable progress was making in the
adjustment of the financial and indus
trial problems.

against the royal decree issued yesterday
authorizing ediflces of non-Catholic reli-

the ground that the government should

decree does not touch matters covered by
the negotiations 1t Is understood that the
answer which the Vatican has made rela-
tive to the revision Of the concordat and
reduction of the public worship budget is
not satisfactory and the premier has no.
tined the Vatican that unless 1t changes
it's attitude the government will be reluc-
family compelled to break OF the negotia-
tons.
