RETIREMENT BILL
BEFORE SENATE
Senator Sterling Will Seek
to Get Final Vote
Today.

The civil service retirement bill was
before the Senate for consideration when
that body met today. Senator Sterling
Of South Dakota. in charge Of the bill,
will seek to have final vote before ad-
Journment. The bill has been the un-
finished business Of the Senate for
weeks. Senators who have opposed the
measure may. however. be able still
further to delay action by continuing
the debate.
An amendment offered by Senator
Myers of Montana was pending. 1t
provides that none Of the benefits under
the retirement bill shall extend to gov
ernment employees who are members of a
union affiliated with outside organiza-
tions. such as the A. F.. of L.
Speaking in support OF his amend
ment. Senator Myers said that it was
time for the Senate to pass upon this
important question.
IF the Senate wants to go on rec
ord as approving the membership OF
government employees in unions affil-
lated with outside organizations, here
and now are the time and the place
to do So" he said. IF the Senate does
not want to go on record in favor of
such principle. now is the time to
say so. I want it settled"
Senator Myers read the Associated
Press dispatch from Chicago relating
to the strike of the municipal en-
ployes there. showing a serious con-
dition. This he said, was an argu-
ment against the employees of the
federal government or the state or
municipal governments becoming
members of unions that either use or
affiliate with unions that use strikes.
Warns OF Divided Allegiance.
Senator Thomas of Colorado also
spoke in favor of the Myers amend
ment. He declared that If govern
ment employees are members of unions
affiliated with outside organizations
the time eventually must come when
they will be confronted by a divided
allegiance, to the government on the
one hand and to their organizations
on the other. Senator Thomas said
that during the steel strike. he had
been told, agents of the union went
through government buildings in
Washington and collected 81 each
from members Of the union of federal
employees to aid those engaged in the
strike.
Men and women in the government
service had no alternative except to
comply" said Senator Thomas MANY
Of them did SO unwillingly and under
duress."
Senator Thomas mentioned the
strike of city employees in Chicago,
and said that the strike of the Boston
police was still fresh in the memory
Of all.
You cannot defend action of that
kind any more than you can defend
treason" he said.
