Says Time Is Ripe for Aiding
Federal Employees.

Provision for the old age of civil Serv-
ice employees is taking tangible shape in
the deliberat tions of the committee in the
Senate that has had the matter under
consideration.
Senator Cummins of the Senate Com
mittee on Civil Service and Retrench-
ment, has distributed a comprehensive
discussion of the several plans contained
in the Gillett bill and the Perkins bill.
The discussion is the work of Herbert
u. Brown, and favOrs the annuity plan
in preference to the civil pension, which
is set down being demOralzing.
Senator Cummins says that, while he
is not welded to any plan. he is thor
oughly convinced that the time has come
for the establishment of system which
will enable civil service employees who,
by reason of age or disability, have
reached the limit of effective work TO
retire upon a compensation which will
provide for them in their declining
years.
