Reasons for Favoring Bill.

AT a meeting of the joint committee
on civil service retirement at Naval
Lodge building Friday night the situa-
ton with regard to the bill was thor
oughiy discussed. Representative Keat-
ing, who introduced the bill in the
House. was present and expressed the
hope that action on the measure would
be had at an early date. The joint con-
ference submitted to the meeting the fol-
lowing reasons for the early enactment
of the bill into law:
"A civil service without retirement
system defeats the purpose of the merit
system to maintain civil service of the
highest efficiency through the retention
of thousands of employees incapacitated
by old age and other disabilities.
The present system Of retaining the
services of those incapacitated workers
is extremely expensive and an unneces-
sary burden on the pay rolls of the gov
eminent.
Large corporations interested in
maintaining the highest efficiency nave
adopted liberal retirement systems in
the interest of larger dividends A
great number Of these corporations pay
the entire cost.
Every government in the world
except those Of the United States,
Venezuela and Turkey has the retire
ment or pension scheme in operation
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-01-12
Cost to Be Borne Jointly.


THE cost of the Notwithstanding
bill will be borne equally by the gov
eminent and the employees. Any 9TH
er plan will only serve to defeat legis-
lation along this line.
The retirement annuity, $500 per
annum. would be much cheaper than
the present plan of virtually pen
sioning those in the service at full
salary.
Civil service retirement has been
Endorsed by state legislatures. hun
dreds of city councils, boards of trade
and organizations of all kinds repre-
senting public sentiment in the in
terest of humanity throughout the
country. The Mcclellan bill has been
unanimously reported to the Senate by
the committee on civil service and re-
trenchment. It has the Endorsement
of organized labor, including all of
the organizations represented in the
civil service and the organizations rep
resented in this conference committee.

Two Growing Steel Companies

The current Iron Trade Review has the followi
say regarding two industries which have their chi
in the city of East Chicago:
That preponderant influence in the steel in
dustry has not been used to repress competition
and destroy rivals for trade is clearly shown
in IN wonderful growth of independent companies
which have sprung up and prospered since the
the formation of the United States Steel Corpor-
alton
Taking an outlying province of the steel
area as an illustration the situation beeig
true of other localities. the Chicago field indica
ties that the presence of the stronger competitor
has been no bar to success of other companies
Though represented in the Chicago district by
four plants. two of which among the largest
and most efficient IN the country. with i'm
nnense annual output, the leading has
seen its competitors organize and grow rapidly
The Inland Steel Co. starting IL years ago
little more than rerolling proposition. is
fully integrated from mines to finishing mills
and has grown to a capitalization of s3o.0O0O0O.
600 This growth has been made since the Steel
corporation was organized
The Interstate Steel & Iron Co.. is another
ample OF the growth Of small bar iron mill TO
a position where it assumes rank with the larg
er steel interests This company has three well
equipped plants and large capitalization, enjoys
Widespread trade. and markets broad line OF
products. II is still growing and promises soon
to occupy an even larger field.
That such expansion has gone during the
past few years in direct conception with the
largest interest indicates the steel business
is conducted on lines which give every manufac-
turer freedom for initiative and development
The records OF establishments which have
grown into powerful organizations form sign1h-
proof Of the stability and integrity Of the iron
and steel industry and of the men whose counsel
wisely prevails
