Committee of One Hundred In.
CIudes Men Prominent
Throughout Country.

The local members Of the committee Of
one hundred, which has been formed to
| fight for increased pay and q retirement
system for the civil employees Of the gov
eminent, will hold at least one more meet
ing before Congress opens next month.
P. B. Chase, chairman OF the committee,
will issue call for the meeting when
former Senator Dick Of Ohio. the ..rector
Of the committee, is ready to submit to II
a number of matters of importance -
The prospects for obtaining legislation
at the coming session Of Congress- pro-
viding for better pay and q retirement
system for the clerks are considered very
bright by Senator Dick and the other
members Of the committee.
Fight Nationwide.
The committee of one hundred includes
in its membership men Of prominence In
nearly every state in the Union. It is
expected that the members scattered
through the states will have influence
with the various members of the Senate
and House and that they will exert this
influence when the desired legislation Is
up for consideration.
The fact that the committee is fighting
for increased pay and a retirement sys-
tenn for nearly half a million civil en-
ployes of the government, who are scat
tered throughout the country, makes
the matter of national interest. Only
small fraction of the total number OF en-
ployes to be benefited are employed IN
the District Of Columbia. The members
of the committee of one hundred as an
nounced by Senator Dick, and geograph-
ically divided, are as follows:
