DELAY MENAC|NG
CLERKS PENSIONS

The Keating-McKeIiar pension and
retirement bill, pending in the House
Interstate Commerce Committee, and
also in the Senate, is in danger be-
cause Of delay in the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee.
Efforts will be made to take the
bill UP in committee Tuesday and re-
port it out. \ majority of the COM
mittee will vote for 1t. But a num-
Der of them are lukewarm or opposed
to the bill. and when an attempt was
made Friday afternoon to wind up
the measure, it was found impos-
sible to get a quorum.
DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Robert H.
Alcorn, and others OF the Joint Civil
Service Retirement Committee, visited
the Capitol yesterday and tried to
hurry action on it, but the House In
terstate Committee was busy with
testimony in the packers investiga-
tion and would not take up the pen
sion bill.
The Government employees who arc
anxiously urging the bill realize that
every day now is precious, and they
fear ii will soon be too late In the
session to get final action on the
measure.
DIR. Jordan declared there was a
chance left for passage or the bill,
but it was growing simmer. He
pointed out that the House Interstate
Commerce Committee seemed to be
willing to give the Big Five" pack
ers plenty of time. but couldn't find
time to dispose of the retirement bill.
for which the Government employees
had been lighting twenty years.

Retirement Committee saw Senator
