that until two years ago he favored a
contributory plan, but now is for a
straight civil pension.
Mr.. GouIden told the delegates it was
useless for them to attempt to obtain
an increase in pay. He said:
Although / would favor an auto
matte promotion plan, my experience
in Congress has been that there Is no
hope Of that now"
Mr.. Goulden called attention to the
fact that only so per cent Of the Gov
ernment employees now receive auto
matte increases, and said:
There is a potentiallty about pull
You all know that. l want to see not
only a favored few advanced, but all
advanced automatically.
while l believe that a general in
crease in salaries is impossible at this
time, 1 do believe that straight civil
pension bill can be enacted into law.
You all ought to concentrate on such
a measure"
Cheers for Remarks.
Cheers showed that the Representative
had struck responsive chord. AS he
was leaving the platform. every MEM
Der in the house stood up and waved
his hands. Then, by way of parting,
Mr.. Goulden said:
Although I am soon to retire from
the House, and politically will be
dead one, l will do everything in my
power to further your interests and will
lend you my support"
Mr.. Goulden's bill, which is now in
the House, is receiving strong support,
10000 Government employees having
signed a petition for it.
The other lawmakers who were to
have delivered addresses this morning
were unable to be present, but the MEM
berS who addressed the convention
spoke enthusiastically for a straight
pension plan
Hartjen Emphatic.
Mr.. Hartjen. of Brooklyn. was espe-
cially vigorous in his remarks.
when I gave my wife her wedding
ring, I gave it to her to keep. She
didn't have to promise to give it back
TO me after a while. If the Government
gives us salary, We ought not to have
to give back part of 1t for a pension. II
We are going to get pension, we ought
to have one that is a pension"
Other speakers who voiced similar
sentiments were President Hopkins, of
the Clerks Association, of New York:
President Al Tharp, of the letter car
riers of New York; Assistant Postmas-
ter Hill. of Trenton. and V. Ross, of
New York.
At noon the convention went into ex-
ecutive session, and remained behind
