SEEK UNITED AIMS
ON j. S. SALARIES
Efforts Begun to Harmonic
Conflicting Opinions on
Redistribution.

Efforts to harmoilize conflicting
opinions among organized govern
ment employees as to the proper way
to work for rcclassi flcatiou legisla-
ton were begun today. following q
meeting of the joint conference on
Redistribution last night.
A committee was appointed to wait
on Luther Steward, president OF the
National Federation OF Federal En-
ployes, and present the Views Of the
conference on Redistribution. +. J.
Quinn was appointed chairman Of
the committee.
Efforts will be made to straighten
out the difference which has arisen
between the two organizations as to
the best way to work for reclassi-
fication. The conference believes that
Il str Aight campaign for the bill of
the reclassification commission is
best, whereas the national federation
seems to be of the opinion that legis-
lation built around the budget bill is
preferable.
1t is generally believed that a con-
tinuance Of conflict on the matter
would be about as fine way to Kill
all chances Of Redistribution legls-
lation next fall az could be selected.
AS such an eventuality is the last
thing both parties desire, it is gen
orally believed that amicable settle
ment of the matter will be reached.
Civil service experts recently called
in by the National Federation of Fed
eraI Employees are at work on Varl-
Gus features of the Reconstruction
and expect soon to have ready de-
tailed plan for the campaign to in
huence proper Reconstruction legis-
lation when Congress meets again.
At the meeting of the reclassitica-
ton conference last night the sched-
ule of mass meetings to be held in the
departments beginning next month
was discussed. A plan for slides tell
ing of Reconsideration to be shown at
theaters throughout the city was
discussed.

COMMISSION DOES NOT
FROWN ON RETENTION
Morrison Says Civil Service State
ment Gave Wrong I'm
preston.

President Martin A. Morrison of the
Civil Service Commission declared to-
day that the commission does not wish
to be considered as browning upon
the retention allowed by the retire
ment law to government employees
who are still efficient.
Mr. Morrison called attention to an
article which appeared In THURSDAY
Star headed Keeping of Clerks Eli
gible to Retire Is Frowned Upon
of Purpose and Impaired Service"
The following paragraph. taken
from recent letter of the commits
sion to department heads. appeared in
the article:
I'm the opinion of the Civil Service
Commission the continuance of en-
ployes of the government beyond the
retirement age, If general. will de-
feat its purpose and impair the serv-
ice"
Mr.. Morrison said today. discussing
the matter:
THE article goes on TO quote sec
tons of circular recently distributed
by the commission among heads of
departments and independent offices.
in which the commission asks for an
expression of opinion as to the ad-
visibility of extending the benefits of
the retirement law to unclassified en-
ployes and of excluding from the op-
Grafton of the act any employee or
group of employees.
THE commission believes that the
caption and paragraph quoted above
are likely to give wrong impression
of its attitude in the matter of the
retention in the service of employees
who have reached the retirement age.
The commission does not wish to be
considered as 'frowning upon the re-
tention allowed by the law of aged
employees who are still efficient. The
statement of the commission is to the
effect that indiscriminate retention
would tend to defeat the purpose of
the retirement act. AS stated in the
circular under discussion. the COM
mission has judicial function to per-
form in scrutiniZing the merits of
each case of proposed continuance

note that the revocations and sus-

pearance and manner and his way
Of organizing their evenings enter

in his pocketbook, suggested wealth,
he had spoken Of his need Of $4,000
as a life and death mattcr.) She
had seen him by turns beast
oh, drunkard beast ,-leering at
her, and good Samaritan, ready to
do his utmost to save her from
fancied danger. And now he was
crying over the thought of his
daughter.
Her own feelings toward him, too,
were curiously blended-a mixture
of disgust, contempt, and a very
genuine liking. She could hardly
have told which predominated. One
thing, though, was clear to her, and
this was her responsibility for him.
She was in charge Of the situation,
there could be no doubt Of that.
She might have been his mother,
as she sat there watching him, think
ing what to do.
- HE couldn't really cope with the
y situation, of course. First aid
would be all she could render
He'd need mother permanently
She wondered if many men were like
that. 1t was a curiously lovabls
quality. She wished her father had
little of it. A daughter couldn't
have a finer job than that. Luckily
this man had one, as we'll as needed
her. That was the line to take.
So, watching him, grave-eyed, in
tent, with the wisdom of candor and
innocence, she devised her plan, pro-
jected her little drama, calculated
her mise-en-scene, her exits and her
entrances.
That it was played the next morn
ing in the Offices Of Hallam, Green
& Co.-where she had once waited
so forlornly for her father, and Bob,
in the likeness of an angel. had
turned up instead - that it was
played with immense success, and al
most line for line as she had ar
ranged it the night before, cannot
wholly be attributed to Dorothy s
wisdom. Accident, as in most of
Walter Cases affairs, was the, per-
haps. determining factor. But hav-

was a very competent job she did
that morning.
From one point Of view it was q
little too competent, or for a while
she thought so. Back in her room
at the hotel, just before lunch time,
she shed a few rueful tears over her
own plight. She had been of inesti-
mable service to everybody; to Bob
for getting his affair with Enid on
an uneQuivocal basis that fell only
just short of an announced engage
ment; to Walter Case in restoring
his daughter to him and in getting
him his $4,000 from Mr.. Hallam
(she had determined not to loan it to
him herself if she could help it); to
Hallam in purging his soul of
slightly Pharisaical superiority that
he was much better without.
But these services, she felt, had
cost her the friendship Of all three
She had lost least with Hallam; but
there, Of course, she had least to lose.
1t was not only that she'd hurt his
feelings with her plain description Of
the attitude she found him prepared
to take toward Walter Case. What
had shocked him worse, apparently,
was that a young girl should be thus
able to comprehend the situation
AS for Bob and his prospect
father-in-law, it wasn't that they
were not both grateful-they haa
tried to make her see that--but that
finding it wholly impossible to ac-
count for her intervention to Enid,
they were passionately anxious to
see the last of her.
If you are acquainted with the
ueldliS ol DOrOtHy > llASC adventure
you will not need to be told that
Bobs conscience had been making
him very unhappy whenever he
thought of that incredible kiss in
the taxicab, or the clasped hands
at the matinee; you will understand
why he had stared with horror,
as at the sight of an embodied
Nemesis, when he saw Dorothy walk
ing into the office with the manifest
intention of talking to him. He was
in the frightful position of having
told Enid about so per cent of the
truth concerning that day with Doro-
thy, and he didn't want the other

I so per cent to appear now.
AS for Walter Case himself, as
you will instantly perceive, the cpl
sode which resulted in Dorothy's in
tervention in his behalf was pre-
cisely the last. sort Of episode a
man would confess to his own
daughter.
Dorothy couldn't have been got
rid Of, Of course, if she had wanted
to stay. She was in full control
Of the situation. But her love ef
good job triumphed over mere
selfish considerations. Deliberately
she sawed herself off the limb. Or,
as | said, SO she thought for
while.
Enid's arrival at the hotel about
o'clock corrected the error. The
three men had, by her own account,
done their shamefaced best to pre-
vent her suspecting Dorothy's exist
ence. But their story simply didn't
make sense. There was an abhorred
vacuum in it that their combined re-
sources were inadequate to fill. Once
on the track of the facts, Enid
swiftly elected perhaps a quarter
of them and guessed uncannily close
to the rest (horrifying her father
thereby much as Dorothy had hor-
rifed Hallam).
Her feeling for Dorothy was not
at first one Of unmixed regard. She
had an intense CURIOSITY to see and
eXamine the young wonan VINO had
raided successfully her iiance and
hcr father and still produced such
0eneticent results. What, perhaps,
trought down the balance in favor
of The visit was Dorothy's wealth.
The notion of girl hardly more
than her own age, rich enough to
do anything she chose and indie
pendent of any authority whatever,
was fascinating.
Il came over to thank you" Enid
said. Il can't make out that Bob
and father did" Then, after
pause, Aren't men ridiculcus.'
Are they" Dorothy asked. Il
know hardly anything about them"
Enid looked at her, stared at her.

The answer to the question, "How shall
