Clerks Retirement.
To the Editor of The Star /:

10 Inc Editor OF Inc star.
Any provision for retirement that is not
conducted by the government mot by
an association of clerks). and at its ex-
pense, is misstep. Let the government
handle the entire matter by appropra-
ton and legislation. and instead of in
creasing salaries provide a retirement
fund.- with no refund in case OF separa-
ton from the service. Contribution may
be fair hereafter, but what about the
clerk serving thirty years and over get
ting the full measure Will those of
twenty years service only get cxo-thrds
of the amount, yet each contributes equal
ly to the retirement fund? Let the gov
eminent meet the issue, as it exists. Rail
road corporations. school and police and
fire boards provide for pensions. If
man has served twenty years and over.
giving faithful service, retire him at
seventy-five years OF age at in no instance
over 81 200 per annum. but don't ask the
present outfit to put up for the cost of II.
There are plenty of clerks who are poor,
and always will be. 1t is better to give
annuities than to increase salaries. and
by all means let the whole business be
handled in every way by the government

DECLARE MEAT BOYCOTT
LARGEST MANUFACTURES IN
CLEVELAND IN COMPACT.
Movement the Result Of High Cost
of Living-Employes Ex-
pected to Aid

CLEVELAND, January 17.-Four hun
dred and sixty superintendents and fore
men of twenty-one Of the largest man
ufacturins concerns Of this city have
pledged themselves to aid in a general
boycott on meat for thirty days. In ad-
dition to agreeing to do without meat
themselves, the superintendent and fore
men have promised to induce as many
as possible of the 1000 employees un.er
them to dispense with the food for the
same period. If the employees enter into
the pact, approximately 10000 Cleveland
ers Will abstain from meat during the
next month.
The pledge is effective To-Day. Inc
anti-meat action was taken at a meeting
of the Superintendent and Foremens
Club, in which practically every manu-
featuring plant Of the city Is repre-
scented. The idea Of living the vegetarian
life for a period originated In the minds
of a few members Of the club while dis
cussed high-priced food at dinner sat
urday. Meat being the most expensive
portion served at dinner, the club mem
bers decided not to eat meat that meal
and see how they felt When the Gay
work was over.
Result Satisfactory.
Each of the abstainers was no more
fatigued than usual when night came,
and it was then decided to form a thirty
day vegetarian club among the work
ingmen. The pledge follows:
/. We, as wage earners, are willing to
assist both the state and the municipal
tiles in probing into the high cost of
living. particularly the cost OF meats,
which is prohibitive.
.. This agitation can best become eff
fective by refraining from eating meat
for period of thirty days
B. If this does not bring the price of
meat within the means Of poor people.
then We will refrain from eating meat
for sixty days.
4. We, citizens, do hereby ask our rep
resentative in each councilmanic district
and the legislative bodies to keep this
agitation uppermost in their minds and
actions until the result manifests itself.
a. We ask the cooperation of all per-
sons who are interested in fair play and
the future of our otherwise prosperous
country.
6. This self denial to take effect jan
uary II and continue henceforth.
Meat q Luxury.
The signers of the pledge point out that
while most Americans eat meat at least
once day. and often three time day,
poor people of other countries consider
meat a luxury, while the wellto-do are
content to eat meat once a day at the
most.

Sebelin. a member Of the Superintend-

TO MOVE PACA REMAINS
Sons OF American Revolution Desire In.
terment And Monument In St.
Aune's Churchyard.

The Sons of the American Revo-
luton propose erecting a monument
to Governor Paca, and desire to re-
move his remains from the Eastern
Shore to st. Anne's churehyard in
Annapolis, and to erect the monu-
ment here.
The reason for this is that his
public career was largely spent in
Annapolis. and the burying ground on
the Eastern Shore is in a remote
country district. The monument is
ready. to be placed and awaits the final
decision of the proper authorities.
St.l Anne's Rector and wardens
and vestry will be formally request
ed to allow place In the churchyard
for the remains and the monument.
As there have been no interments
made within the Church Circle for
more than a century, there may be
some complications.
The removal of Governor Paca's
remains here and the erection of
the handsome granite shaft in st.
Anne's churchyard from a remote
rural district on the Eastern Shore.
should appeal to everyone as right
and proper. The shaft would be in
full view to School street and would
be an object in teaching MARYLAND
history, as Governor Paca was one
of the most distinguished personages
of Revolutionary and colonial DAYS.
