Provisions of the Bill.

1t is really an indefinite leave of alb
sence measure. providing that postal
clerks. carriers. etc, shall be given an
indefinite leave of absence, with $500
a year after board composed of fell
low employes has determined that the
clerk in question is incapacitated by
age.
1t had been figured by actuary who
appeared before the committee that the
first years cost. if the bill should be
enacted now. would be 1862 $50. and that
this would gradually increase, to about
$1,000. 600 Nearly every man who has
appeared before the subcommittee has
expressed the opinion that it would be
saving to enact the bill as the govern
ment could get better work done by the
younger men put in to take the place of
the penSioned employees.

GRIFFIN BILL BEFORE
HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE
Prospect of Favorable Report on
Pension Plan for Superannuated
Employees of P. 0.

The Griffin bill. providing a system of
pensions and retirement for superan-
nuated employees of the postal service,
was taken up in the Beakes suhcom-
mittee of the House committee on post
offices and post roads today, with every
prospect for an early favorable report
to the full committee.
The bill has created a profound i'm
preston on members of Congress, and
los representatives had appeared be
fore the subcommittee or filed favorable
statements up to the time the suhcom-
mittee adjourned today. While there
is no doubt a favorable report Will be
made to the full committee. there is
doubt as to the success of the measure
in obtaining a favorable report to the
House. 1t is believed that several
members of the fun committee are OPP
posed to civil pensions of any sort and
will make a fight to defeat the bill.

Later, when President llubatka OF the

give this game to the Noursc OIL,
Although contrary to the ruling oi the

Girls to Play.
To substantate the claim that the
base ball fever is contagious even
among the fair visions of loneliness, it
would probably surprise the wise
acres to know that already two teams
OF girls have been organized in this
great and growing metropolis and
that they have played several games.
These girls are students OF the game
and according to the dope in circula-
ton they are unusually adept. their
physically ability being taken into
consideration at playing the national
pastime. If you want to see these fair
damsels perform when in tip top con-
dltion moSey around to Riverview
park on August 20, the day set aside
for the annual picnic of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen. This will
be a regular confederate battle be-
cause one team halls from the North
Side and the other from the South
Side.
The question of where to stage the
games to decide the class "a" cham
pionship is causing President IsaacSon
to spend few slecpless nights. He
is doing all i'll his power to secure
Rourke park. II he cannot secure
Rourke park, then he will probably
book these games for Luxus park and
from a financial standpoint he would
be justified in doing so and every
thing would be O. X. providing the
Luxus do not win the penant. But
if the Luxus win the pennant then the
other contenders will claim that they
have not been afforded fair treatment
because the Luxus will gain an ad-
vantage by playing on the diamond
they know.
