THIS IS LAST WEEK
TO JOIN CITY CLUB

The last call for membership is
being made by workers on the twenty
odd membership teams OF the recent
ly organized City Club. The team
captains have passed the word around
that this is the last week in which
persons can obtain active membership
in the club, for club officials are con-
fident that the goal of 1,500 members
will be reached on Monday.
The word is being passed not as an
appeal for new members, but merely
az a friendly tip to those persons who
for weeks have been planning to join
the club. but who for one reason or
another have delayed the filing OF
their applications. The clubs prob
lem has never been enc Of inducing
persons to join, but rather one OF
getting into touch with those persons
who already have recognized the rare
opportunities offered by the club and
who have fully made up their mind to
join at some time.
Next week will be too late. accord
ing to club officials, for the l 500
limit will be rigidly adhered to. Many
club officials believe it would be pos
sible to increase the membership to
5000 or even 5000, but this will not
be done, as the proposed clubhouse
has been planned on the basis OF 1900
members.

RETIREMENT BILLS
TOBE O.K.DS SOON

Retirement Of superannuated Fed
eral employees will be brought directly
to the attention Of Congress within
the next week, when the Senate and
House Committees on the Civil Service
report fsvorably the Sterling-LehI-
bach bills.
When the measures are reported
from committee. it is fully expected
they will contain explicit provisions
extending to employees of the District
government the same privileges as
employees In the classified civil serv-
ice.
The SterIing-LehIbaeh bill is the
most effective retirement bill that has
ever been considered in Congress. The
railway postal clerks, sixty-two
years for mechanics, rural and city
letter carriers and postoRics clerks,
and sixty-fiVe years for all other en-
ployes meet with the approval Of the
heads OF the various Government de-
partmentS-
Despite the strong arguments set
forth by Secretary OF War Baker and
other prominent officials in favor Of
straight Government pensions, as in
other countries. the pension plan will
be q contrIbutory one. The minimum
limit 10 the annuity. $720 per annum,
will protect the Government, adVo-
Gates OF the measure point out, and
the placing Of q minimum annuity Of
$500 for thirty years service will pro-
tect the low-paid employe.
The deduction OF ~ per cent OF the
monthly salary Of employees IL gener-
ally considered to be an equitable
contribution on the part OF the en-
ploye, and the provision that the con-
tribution with interest shall be re-
turned to an employe separated from
the service will serve a. an invest
ment.
The joint committee on retirement
for the civil service, which is conduct
ing q vigorous campaign on behalf
Of the pension legislation, Is confident
of favorable action by Congress in the
near future.
