that q million men are to go

The Clerks Opportunity.

With Senate and House so fully aroused to the
pitiabe plight of the superannuated employees OF the
civil service they are at present due to the dis
missal from government employ of veterans OF the
civil war; the opportunity should be seized upon by
those organizations and individuals who have long
strven to secure the enactment of pension and re-
tirement law for the clerks. There is every dispos
ton among Senator's and Representatives to act now
to remedy deplorable condition so long neglected
in spite of repeated representations by Cabinet Of
fcers in their annual reports and even by President:
in their messages. .... "a.
1t would be a waste of time to take action at thi:
time for the relief of the veterans only merely
because their case has been the subject of recent agta
tion way can easily be found to secure them jus
tice individually without waiting for enactment o.
any new law But in the archives of the civil service
committees of House and Senate reposing th'
details of admirable pension and retirement systems
already in successful operation by European govern
ments or by great corporations in this country; ant
pressure should at once be brought to bear by th'
clerks organizations to have the most acceptable o
these systems reported simultaneously in Senate ant
House and enacted during the present session. Pro
longed debate will be wholly unnecessary; the justice
of such law cannot be successfully disputed if in
deed there is even an attempt to do SO in any quar-
ter The economy argument cannot be made seriously
because members have had sufficient evidence thrus
upon them to convince them that the present system
is wildly extravagant. .-..-
