MEMBERS FIGHT CUSTER
w. S. Dutton and H. A. Harrison
Believe II Months Service
Prevents Action.

HYATTSVILLE. Md, July I'll
Fourteen months is an unduly long
time in which TO discover that they
should not sit in the town council.
Walter S. Dutton and II. A. Harrison
maintain in their proposed answer to
the mandamus proceedings instituted
by Noble Ruske and James Conroy to
oust them.
The mandamus proceedings are
based on the allegation that Harrison
and Dutton do not hold property in
their individual names to the assessed
valuation of $500.
The two councilmen took office in
May, 1919.
Corporation Counsel Vincent a.
Sheehy was instructed by the town
council last night to defend the suit.
The hearing will be held in Upper

cles from the Civil Service list II Is
confronted with a problem OF many
difficulties.
On account OF the action taken yes
terday at the Cabinet meeting, the
exact number OF Government em-
pIoyes who will be retired, Is not
known.
At. the Cabinet meeting yesterday
IL was decided TO retain the services
of employees, who wished to remain
In the Government service, provided
that their services would be OF bene-
III TO the Government. This VIII
mean that a great pumber or em-
pioyes, who would otherwise be re-
tired on account OF age, VIII be re-
tained for at least two years.
PENSION INSUFFICIENT.
A number OF employees. although OF
the age OF retirement. had asked to
be retained. because they could not
live on the pension which the Govern
ment allows. The maximum pension
that can be granted IL S720 a year, and
II Is said that very few would have
been allowed the maximum amount.
The greater number would have got
$500 year and less, and they con-
tended that in these times OF high
prices that they could scarcely live.
Many of the old men had wives to
support and the amount OF pension
allowed them would scarcely support
the employe, much less the employe
and his wife.
The decision to make a change in
the Interpretation OF the retirement
law, makes II necessary for the heads
of the Government departments to go
over their records again and select
from the names OF those who were TO
be retired. those who wish to remain
and whose services would be of bene-
fit to the Government.
The Washington times., 1920-07-21

The later list. however. Is being
rapidly expanded and amplined. and
does not In any way represent the
hnal total OF those eligible andde-
irous OF retirement under the new
law. The same Is true in minor de-
gree Of the list OF retention applr
cations.
APPLICATIONS DELAYED.
More than ninety aged clerks in
the Pension Bueau, who desire to be
retained, have not yet had their APP
plications filed with the Civil Ser
vice Commission. THIS Is also true
OF hundreds OF clerks in the Postof-
fice Department, whose applications
for retention naturally were either
held in abeyance or never made
formally in view OF the ruling OF
Postmaster General Burleson, which
was revoked two days ago.
1t is probable that the fnaI total
of applications for retention in the
service will not fall short of l,400,
according to an estimate today. AL
though the law provides thta all the
applications shall be filed not later
than today, provision has been made
for several days grace in view OF
the confusion that has surrounded
the Interpretation of the new act.
Another serious "snag" in the ad-
ministration OF the civil service re-
tirement law has been struck.
This is the fact that the law pro
vides that no vacancy caused by the
retirement OF an cmploye shall be
filled by an original or new appoint
ment from the Civil Service Commits
sion. All of these vacancies shall be
filled by transfers. either inter de
partmental or from one department
to another.
PROBLEM FOR BUREAU.
The question of these transfers is
giving serious concern to many offic-
ials. Where are the employees to be
found who are willing to be trans
ferred or whose supcriors are willing
The Pension Bureau alone faces the
possible retirement of 200 clerks. 1t
also faces by vast increase of busi-
ness, owing to the passage Of the
Sells and Fuller bills at the last
session of Congress.
More than 10000 original applica-
tions 70 rpensions have been filed in
the past two months, or as many as
had been filed for many years previ-
ously. 1t cannot AFFORD to retire these
clerks unless the appropriate trans
fers can be found. and there is some
doubt, as to where they will be OBJ
tanned. There Is no marked excess
of available clerks in the other de-
partments now, and as long as the
Pension Bureau cannot fill the vacan-
