DEMONSTRATION IN AID
OF CLERKS Retirement
Meeting in New York November 16
Under Auspices Of National
Association.

Word has been received in Washing
ton of a big demonstration to be held
at the New York Hippodrome Novem-
Der Ii, under the auspices of the Ma
tonal Association of Civil Service En-
ployes, for the purpose of bringing to
the attention of Congress and the pub
lie the necessity of passing an equitable
civil service retirement law.
A letter was sent out by p J. Nc
Nabb, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the association, regard
ing the meeting.
Extract From the Letter.
1t IS, in part, as follows:
THE salaries paid to federal en-
ployes do not permit of their making
provision for their old age, especially
in those departments such as the Post
Office. where the employees are not paid
when absent. even though their alb
sence Is caused by illness or injury con-
tracted in the line of duty, and the
failure of Congress to make any pro-
vision for their relief. after having per-
formed from thirty to fifty years OF
continuous service, Is unjust both to
the employee and the government. as
their retention prevents the influx of
new blood necessary to any business
thereby causing a great loss OF efn-
cheney.
"The United States is the only civ
ilized nation which does not provide
for it's veteran civil servants. but with
the aid of an enlightened pubic senti-
ment we hope to secure remed al legis-
lation at the coming session of Con-
gress, and thus place our government
in line with the best thought OF the
present day on this question.
Bill Before the House.
There has been introduced in the
| House of Representatives. by James A
Hamill of New Jersey. a bill provid-
ing for the retirement of superannuated
rederal employees, after thirty or more
wears service on an annuity, this be-
ing a system similar to that now in
vogue in many other countries, In sew,
eral municipalities in this country and
in hundreds of private corporations
