COMP Frs ATTACKS
PRESENT CONGRESS
Declares War on 1t for Failure to
Aid Labor.
SEES ONLY REPRESsIVE ACTS
Declares Only Negative Legislation
Has Been AccompIished-Calls
Upon 100000 Workers to De-
feat Its Members.

Washington, April 26.-A declara-
ton of war upon the present congress
for its failure to pass legislation bene-
fetal to the millions Of workers in the
United States is made by Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in leading article
in the Federationist, made public here.
The article calls upon the 4,OOO,OOO
members of organized labor to vote
for the defeat of those members of
congress who have crowded men and
women in industry backward and
downward"
President Gompers' article is head
ed: "A Congress of Negation." It Bit
terly criticizes the present congress
for its failure to lower the cost of liv-
ing and to enact constructive meas
ures in the interest of all the people.
He demands that it be supplanted with
a new membership which will oppose
coercion and repression" and which
will turn it's face to the task con-
fronting the American citizenship in
the true spirit of American institu-
TONS
Must Have Congress of Action.
In the article President Gompers
says:
America must get rid of its veto
congress and elect an action congress-
''The NO congress must give place
to Yes congress.
''The present congress has done lit
tie except to apply the brakes and say
No to one constructive proposal after
another
1T has failed us on the peace treaty.
1T has failed us in reconstruction.
1T has failed us in the high cost of
living.
1T has failed US in intelligent com
prehension Of every great question af-
fecting the lives and welfare of our
people.
1T has failed to bring the nation
back to a peace basis in respect to the
repeal of legislation enacted only for
the period of the war and unbearably
oppressive at any other time
1.-The present congress has failed. 1t
has failed with completeness and
abandon.
CIings to War Measures.
''Not only have the sins of the pres
ent congress been sins of omission, but
they have likewise been sins of COM
mission. There has been a failure to
so right things and almost an eager
ness to do wrong things The war
seems to have bred in the mind Of .aon-
gress a deep-rooted philosophy of
coercion. 1t has chung with despera-
ton to the restrictive and coerciye
measures which were necessary DUR
ing the war and has sought to add to
them, though the necessities of war
no longer obtain The most shining
example of this is in the adoption of
the railroad bill"
Mr. Gompers speaks of the power
full forces in the United States which
are seeking to cripple democracy" and
cites the passage of the Esch- Cummins
railroad bill, the Kansas court of in
dustrial relations law and the conduct
of the steel companies in the late
strike of steel workers as evidence of
the activity of these forces.
He declares that the congress now
in session has CLOSED its ears to the
great hymnal of sacrifice and service
with which the nations millions
plunged into the war to save humanity
from destruction"

Retirement Act Provisions.


through your paper in the interest
of some of my fellow departmental
employees. 1t Is evident to me that
there is an apparent danger of mis-
application Of the retirement act of
May %. 1920. Section of said act
sets forth: That beginning at the
expiration of ninety days next fol-
lowing the passage of this act, all
employees of the classified service of
the United States who have on that
date. or shall have on any date there
after, reached the age of seventy
years. and rendered at least fifteen
years of service shall be
eligible for retirement on an an
nuity." etc, etc. "a proviso for a
lower age in certain cases following.
The point 1 wish to make is, that
this act in no way applies to persons
who have not rendered at least fif-
teen years service. Age and physical
condition cut no figure in such cases
under this act, which expressly pro-
vfdes only for automatic retirement
on an annuity after a definite period
of service. Note the two definite ele-
ments required-age and length of
service
The government has authority to
dismiss its employees, but it is not, as
I see it, conferred by this retirement
act. To dismiss an employe without
annuity. on the ground that said en-
ploye is seventy years old, but short
of the fifteen years service credit,
defeats in such instances the humane
purpose Of the act
