ice has made the following report to
the House on the bill to establish a
civil service retirement system for
federal employees on account of age
and length of service, urging that 1t
will save the government money and
will create efficiency as well as give
support and ease of mind to faithful
workers who have given the pest
years of their life to the federal
service:
THE committee on reform IN the
civil service. to which was referred
H. X. 3149. reports the same TO the
House with an amendment. with the

LABOR OFFICIALS DENY.
Union Not Contemplating System
of Stores to Cut Living Costs.

Denial is made by officials of Cen
trail Labor Union that the organize
ton contemplates establishment in
this city of a system CT community
stores through which the necessities
would be purchased wholesale and
sold to members Of organized labor at
actual cost plus the cost of handling.
More than a year ago such a plan
was submitted to the organization.
After careful investigation the Gen.
trail Labor Union found it impracti-
cable and the matter was dropped. At
the thirty-ninth annual convention of
the American Federation Of Labor
held recently at Atlantic City a COM
mittee was appointed to look into
some plan that would make II possible
to purchase foodstufYs wholesale and
sell them to organized labor men at
a fraction above cost

The administration of the retire.
ment system is placed under the COM
missioner of pensions. and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is charged with
the custody and investment of the
retirement fund. The records Of the
service of the employees are kept by
the United States Civil Service Com
mission.
"All employees contribute 21a per
cent of their salaries, which sum is
deducted monthly from their pay and
deposited in the retirement fund. In
the event any employe leaves the
service. or dies. before receiving an
annuity hereunder. or if such annuity
payments do not equal the sum total
of his contributions, together with
interest. there shall be returned to

illustrates Conditions.

"A specific example. which the COM
mittee has no reason to believe is ex-
ceptional, will serve to illumine pres
ent-day conditions in the depart
ments. The subjoined is from the tes-
timony of the deputy commissioner
of pensions:
81 have found. on making a per
sonal Investigation. that approximate
IL $50 of the $40 employees in our bu-
reau would probably take advantage
of a retirement law. ! can say this.
without any reflection upon that $50,
nearly all of whom are employed in
some maner, that we could dispense
with their services at this time and
not lose in appreciable degree any
measure of efficiency in the bureau. 1t
is not to US helpful service so far as
the Administration of pension matters
goes.
fifty out of that $50 are inefficient
and do not render any useful service
whatever to US. They could be retired;
In order that you may understand
just what mean by what have said
with reference to the number who
might retire or be retired under this
law, would say that the $50. whose
services could be dispensed with. nfty
efficient clerks would render US bet
ter service and more useful service
than those $50 clerks.
off those $50 clerks were to take ad
vantage of the provisions of this bill,
the annuity paid to them would ap-
proximate $4,000. The amount of sal i
arv paid to them is approximately
$40. 900. If their services were not
replaced at all with new appointees in
this bureau there would be an out
right saving in salaries of 100000
