attacks the half-and-half plan, was
scheduled in the House this afternoon
but will be delayed because Of the
death of Congressman Payne. which
win call for an early adjournment OF

As predicted in The Times. Mr.

tribute anything TO District support

NAVY YARD WORKERS
HEAR PENSION TALKS
Should Contribute to Old Age
Themselves, Opinion Of
Speakers.

Arguments for and against n pension
system for superannuated Government
employees We're heard by more than
100 navy yard employees who attended
the Civil Service Retirement banquet at
the Arcade last night. Senator Thomas
Sterling Of South Dakota asserted that
the country would not lndorse a
str aight pension plan. and r p. Sylvan,
an officer Of the Bell Telephone Com
pany, spoke in favor of n system such
as that inauguratcd two years ago by
That corporation.
The most amazing part of the whole
thing is the low cost of the plan" said
Mr.. Sylvan, in explaining why the Gov
crrnnent might follow the system OF the
telephone concern. THE present total
cost for all the various kinds Of relief
work is less than IL per cent Of the
payroll. and IL is Anticipated that even
when the pension part of the plan be-
comes fully operative. due to the aver
age age of the employees advancing. the
cost will be well within the per cent
limit"
Senator Sterling said that Congress
ought to remove from the United States
the stigma of being the only country
that did not provide for the old age of
those who have spent their life in its
service. He sad he favored the Per
lIins bill, now before the House. which
would compel all Government employees
IL the CLASSIFIED service to contribute a
Fart of their salary to a fund from
which old age pensions would be paid.
William Z. Andrews. Auditor Of the
Treasury Department, advised the navy
yard employees to start n pension sys-
