the civil service, as well as in the
government attitude toward its
workers. Notwithstanding the in
crease in living costs, thousands of
government employees are still receiv-
ing wages as low as $55 and $50 per
month, while the lack of retirement
plan has forced upon the government
a virtual pension list of 5000 aged
employees who have passed the period
of their usefulness.
Coordination of Work.
In order to focus public attention
upon the conditions and needs of the
federal civil service, the legislative
committee of the employees organiza-
tion, according to the national presi-
dent and chairman, Luther C. Steward,
proposes to set up a co-ordinated sys-
tenn of Legislative committees thruout
the country. Each of the 105 local
unions in the various states will be
called upon to establish committee
auxiliary to the national legislative
committee, and to put organized eff
fort behind the legislative program.
The national committee will meet
every week at the Washington head
quarters, and will maintain close
and quick intelligence service with the
field.

Especial Correspondence.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-A sys-
tematic drive for legislation to i'm
prove the government service and the
working conditions of government en-
ployes is announced by the National
Federation of Federal Employees, fol-
lowing a meeting of its Legislative
committee at national headquarters in
the A. F. of L. building in Washing
ton last night.
First on the list of new measures
to be asked for will be a law abolish
ing statutory salaries and establish
ing an adjustment board thru which
to obtain, as for workers in private
employ, an equitable relation between
salaries and cost of living, and a re-
classification of the entire civil serv-
ice. In line with resolution adopted
at the recent annual convention of
the Federation, Congress will be asked
to stipulate that the employees shall
have representation upon the proposed
adjustment board equal to that of the
administrative officials.
Old-Age Insurance.
The Johnson-Nolan bill, providing
SO per day, or 371a cents per hour as
the minimum wage for government
employees, including Washington school
teachers, has already passed the
House of Representatives and early
action in the Senate is sought by the
Federation The McKellar- Heating re-
tirement bill establishing an old-age
insurance system for federal workers,
is expected to come to vote in the
Senate within a few days, with ex-
cellent chance of passage. These two
measures, which in some form have
been before Congress for years, are
regarded by government employees as
vital remedies for existing defects in
