PLANS FOR RETIREMENT.
Representatives in Congress Pledge
Support of Bill for Clerks.

In the interest of retirement in the
civil service Representatives Bennett and
Calder of New York and Hamill of New
Jersey addressed large gathering at the
Public Library last night. The mas.
meeting was held under the auspices of
the United States Civil Service Retire
ment Association, and NJ. +. O'Donoghue
presided
The members of Congress cited statis-
tics to show that this country is far be-
hind Europe in the matter of caring for
its superannuated clerks. The various
good features of the bill now pending in
Congress which provides for civil service
retirement were discussed, and the repre-
sentatives pledged themselves to vote for
such a measure if it comes up at this
session.
Mr.. HamilI said he could not understand
why the government should not pension
its aged employees the same as large rail-
roads of the country. Mr.. Bennett advised
the association to continue it's campaign
before Congress and to accept what leg
islation is enacted until the favOrite bill
is passed.
MIR. O'Donoghue said he was confident
that Congress would make some material
progress on the matter before March 4.
f. j. Cantwell delivered a stirring adj
dress. He analysed the several pension
plans under consideration, and urged the
clerks not to combine a request for
raise in salary with the pension bill.

To the Editor of The Star:
Please kindly allow me space i'm your
widely read columns to commend the
plan and noble ambitions of those who
are responsible for the realization of a
trades school for our boys and girls who
leave school early and find themselves
unequipped for doing any kind of re-
munerative work III scientific and up
to-date manner. Had we planned and
operated such schools twenty years age
the race today would not have so many
young men and women who lead idle
lives and reflect no credit upon the race
or themselves. A busy man or woman
has no time for idleness, and there is mo
better means for making or keeping our
rising generation busy than by giving
them such trades as are so beautifully
outlined in the article in The Star recent
1y. 1t is interesting also to Learn that
there will be no frills tolerated in con-
nection with the course offered in this
trade school. Let parents give the
school authorities every encouragement
in this noble work, that l feel is only the
first link in great and useful chain OF
schools that will eventually grow out of
this movement.
