Thomas Fiaherty had but a mo-
ment to explain his views of the case
of a postal employe. Dr. Jordan was
able to make a fuller presentation of
the case.
He presented the proposed plank.
which is as follows:
I'VE also favor and pledge our sup
port to secure the enactment of an
equitable retirement law providing for
me retirement OF superannuated and
disabled employees of the civil service.
to the end that a higher standard of
efficiency may be maintained"
DIR. Jordan said:
The republican party failed to in
corporate any declaration in the in
terest Of civil service other than a de-
nunciation of the democratic party in
law and promising the electorate that
II the republican party should win the
coming election it pledged it's support
to an extension of the civil service and
its reorganization along lines Of eff
ciency- and economy.
1T is significant that despite the
earnest efforts which were made by
che civil service committee. that. Sem

OF Senator Sterling to incorporate any
declaration in the republican party

Backed by 3,ooo,o 900 Voters.
Backed as our demands are in re-
spect to the needs of the civil service
by 100000 voters who are wage earn
ers and constitute the membership of
the American Federation of Labor, and
supported by 100000 civil service en-
ployes. the great majority of whom are
voters. we cannot help but believe that
the democratic party will rise to the
occasion and show its friendly interest
in the civil service of our country by
the adoption of a ringing declaration
on the civil service law and the fncor-
poration Of a constructive plank point
ing out to the electorate of the coun-
try where the civil service should be
improved and greater efficiency secured
on the part of the personnel in the
recognition. not only of the merit prin-
ciple Of appointment but also a recog-
milton of the urgent and imperative ne
cessity of introducing a more econom-

the passage of legislation providing for
the retirement Of the superannuated
and disabled employees in that service.
who are now retained largely because
Of humanitarian reasons, but who are
in many instances rendering but little
service in return for compensation or
wages paid.
1T is a well established fact, which
cannot be gainsaid, that the federal
government is maintaining q pension
system for aged employees throughout
the civil service. who. as stated above,
are not capable. through physical in
flrmity, to render efficient service"
The resolutions committee was still
at work at an early hour in. the morn
ing and had not made any report on
the civil service plank.
