.FAVORS PENSIONS
FOR AGED EMPLOYEES

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Tinted
States Senator Boics Penrose, in Il
speech at dinner here tonight given
by classified civil service employees Of
the government and the city, declared
himself IN favor of congress enacting
law providing for old age retirement
pousious for federal employees. Senator
Pcurosc spoke iu part as follows:
81 have had as chairman aud nom
Der Of the committee ou postoffices and
postroads of the senate for mauy years,
opportunity to realize that the pension
system for postal employees is especial
~ desirable,
''The old fashioned idea Of a pension
as unity for stated amount paid
when the retiring age is reached and
based on contributions from employees,
private gifts and perhaps approprla-
tioDs by the government is conceded to
be ineffective and unsatisfactory and
gives no assurance OF soIvcDcy. This
plan is being supplauted everywhere
by the service pension wherein the al
lowance made to the employee is per
ccutage of bis average salary for the
proceeding term Of years multiplied by
The number of years Of service. The
evolution from the coutrlbutory plan to
the service pension system is gradual
~ coming TO be realized and the
straight retirement and pension at the
expense of tho government and without
contribution from the employees is the
only one that will in the eud prove
satisfactory aud give assurance Of sol
vency.'
