In Favoring New
Retirement La

New York, Nov. 22.-Without a
dissenting voice being raised a resolu-
ton was passed yesterday by the GUS
toms officers in annual session at the
Custom House, declaring the confer
ence in favor of the speedy enactment
of a retirement law by Congress to
cover Federal civil service employees.
This resolution was offered by DR..
Il. Jordan, head Of the bonding divi-
sion of the Treasury Department, and
copies were ordered sent to President
Wilson, Champ Clark, Speaker of the
House, and the Senate majority lead
er. The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, many of the civilized
countries of the world, except the
United States, have made provision
for their aged civil servants by the
enactment Of an equitable retirement
law;
And whereas, large employers Of
labor in the United States have made
provision for their aged workers in
line with the trend Of the times;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
the members Of this conference de-
clare themselves in favor of the
speedy enactment of q retirement law
by Congress to cover the Federal civil
service employees.
There were frequent verbal clashes
on the question of stringent enforce
ment Of reinsurance on bonds given
the government. The matter was
finally referred to the efficiency board
for consideration and report back to
the conference.
Another matter that took up con-
siderable time and brought out much
division Of opinion was the question
as to whether fiat rate per hour in
stead Of the presented rate per day
should be paid for extra compensa-
ton. This, too. was finally submitted
to the efficiency board.
The conference favored the propo-
sition Of seeking some method where
by the pay Of guards and other classes
Of employees coul be regulated SO as
to be automatically increased and not
remain the same from the time a man
entered the service until he left it.
Harry G. Coles. chairman Of the
personnel committee of the Port Of
New York, said his committee had al
ready made recommendations that
would mean increased efficiency and
Increased pay for men in the service
at this port.
1--WE have made recommendations
that will mean $4,000 annual saving
at the port of New York and we have
recommended that 100 promotions be
made" he said

New York, Nov. 22-Opening-
Price changes at today's irregular

uance of the recent inquiry from in
