PLANS ARE PREPARING
FORRETIREMENT MEET
United States Civil Service Association Which Favors
Clerks Straight Pension Plan, Will Hold Annual
Convention January 20 and 21

accomplished by asking sufficient. not
one-half or one-third. or even nothing.
"But on the discussion about the kinds
Of bill-which on the last analysis rests
with Congress and the President-some
are losing sight of the main question,
the creation of public sentiment.
Educate! Organize! Not spasmodic-
ally or intermittently, but persistently
and continually. To this end the true
friends of retirement will take steps to
have every minister of religion In the
land preach a sermon on some phase of
the great question. Care for the aged,
during the holy Christmas period. Hon
or thy father and thy mother Is only
another way of expressing this grand
thought. And be sure to have the news
papers publish a resume Of their re-
marks
Keystone of Reform.
I'VE are constantly written to from
the States as to how the movement is
progressing in Congress. answer
once for all: Exactly as 1t Is progress
ing In the Congressional Districts and
in the States. Congressman or, their
secretaries read the local papers and
are swayed by them. They know they
are the most exact measurement attain
able of public opinion.
LAS / have said before, retirement is
only the keystone OF the arch of civil
service reform. | find that Senators
and Representatives from localities that
have State and municipal civil service
are friendly to retirement, while those
from places that know not civil service
reform have only words of condemna-
ton for retirement. Our duty then is
plain to cooperate with the National
Civil Service Reform League in spread
ing the doctrine of true civil service to
every corner Of the land. In doing this
We are serving the cause of retirement.
1T is true that many civil service re-
formers only know its workings from an
academic point OF view, are merely
lockers on in Venice, 80 to speak,
and prone to run counter to the best
interests Of the service But the more
reason the Federal employees should get
in touch with them wherever they may
be- invite them to their meetings, and
show them things. They are not as they
are too frequently assumed to be. For
instance, there is a feeling abroad that
the Government employe is paN lavish
ly and has a soft snap This heresy
coming down from the spoils period
should be attacked and eradicated II
is of the greatest detriment to the Gov
ernment employe.
But to come back to the convention,
Organize! Organize! Organize!!! And
remember no politics, directly or in
directly. Remember this is a national,
not a partisan question. Educate! Edu-
cate!! Educate!!i And don't forget that
II you are to have an effective executive
at Washington you must support 1t gen.
erously and trust 1t implicitly. Organize
now, and II possible. send a delegate to
the convention"

Germans Would End
Patent Pact of 1909

BERLIN. Jan. 2.-The German Ma
chine Manufacturers Association thinks
that American patentees receive a great
advantage over them. and have pre-
sented a petition for the abrogation OF
the German-American patent agreement
OF February q, 1909.
They claim that German patentess
are compelled 10 manufacture products
Of their patents in Germany, while
American patentees may manufacture
elsewhere. The Americans are thus rem
dered able to compete most advantage
ously with Germans, It Is declared, es-
pecially In typewriters.
