their wants before Congress, the officers

citation of Civil Service Employees set a
committee to work today outlining a bill
for retirement of government employees,
which they will present to Representative
James a. Hamill Of New Jersey for pres
entation in the House of Representatives.

self. to make up bill. The other MEM
bers of the committee are members of the
associations executive board.

fore the committee finishes it's work to-

Of Mr.. Hamill by tonight, according to
President Mckee. The action of the con-
vention held here Friday and Saturday
in voting unanimously for non-contribu-
tory pension system left little for the
committee to do but fix the wording OF
the bill.
Several of the officers of the new as
ISOLATION will remain in the city until

the permanent headquarters are opened
and started on the way, as well as to
attend to minor details of organization
The location in this city for the asso-
cia TONS office has not yet been decided

After the work of the association gets
to running smoothly. it is the plan to
send speakers throughout the country
to talk of the proposal for government

outline the efforts of the association
toward this end. and to urge the people
to get behind their representatives in
Congress, so that the bill may become
a law.
President Mckee declared today that
he proposed to make country-wide
speaking tour the last Of August and
the early part of September. Other
speakers will go about the country, he
said. but their names or their itineraries
have not yet been fixed upon.

regular opening. The deferred months

lions on May were s2s4 to %aM. Infiuen-
tial selling quickly sent that option of
to 92Ha92N, but some support was
given on the higher Liverpool cables.
and thsre was a further rally. Selling
by local spectators sent May corn off

a shade lower to a shade higher, at
55s4 to 551s.
After touching o59s prices rallied around
the opening figures. General selling
caused oats to ease off, May touching

Bears Are Forced to Cover
by NOTABLE Advances for
N the Active Issues.
INITIAL STOCK GAINS
PARTIALLY CANCELLED
Heavy Liquidation of the Petroleum
Shares Checked Early Ad-
vance of Actives.

NEW YORK April S.-Whi.e there
was evidence of hesitation at the opening
the trading element was not long kept in
doubt as to the markets position for the
time being of some of the active specula-
tive interests. for stocks usually associat-
ed with these interests were marked up
briskly.
This indication of support for the list
offset the effect of yesterdays weak
close, continued heaviness abroad and
doubt as to the immediate influence on
business of the proposed tariff changes.
Subsequent heavy liquidation of petro-
leum shares checked the advance, how
ever. and traders sold rather freely. the
previous gains being partially cancelled.
Buying of Amalgamated was the fea-
turc of the stock market opening today.
Some large blocks We're purchased in
anticipation of favorable report by the
copper producers later in the day, and
the price advanced point.
First prices through the list showed
changes for the most part small and IT.

of the speculative leaders.
Chesapeake and Ohio gained a point.
