Representatives of Thirty
Organizations Oppose
Myers Amendment.

The joint conference on retirement.
consisting Of representatives from
thirty organizations of government
employees. at a meeting last night at
1928 New York avenue approved the
Sterling retirement bill now before
the Senate, opposed vigorously the
Myers amendment or the Pomerene
substitute bill.
Edward J. Ryan of the Railway
Mail Association submitted a resolu
ton. which was unanimously adopted,
providing:
That We oppose the so-called Myers
amendment and the substitution of the
Pomerent bill for the Sterling retreme mt
bill and that we reaffirm our approval
of the sterling bill and commend Sem
ator Sterling for his earnest and un-
faltering efforts to secure favorable
consideration of this legislation"
Myers Amendment.
The Myers amendment is said to
provide that no persons who are mem
bers of organizations which are af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor are to receive the Dement'S
of the retirement law. In discussing
the amendment Mr.. Ryan said that it
was American and that he was sure
the organization he was representing
would never consent to any legislation
containing such compromise. He
spoke for the entire association or
railway mdll CLERKS III say tuS tHdt
the Pomerene bill with the Myers
amendment would be worse than no
retirement legislation.
Robert II. Alcorn. chairman of the
conference. presided. He asked all to
organize themselves into a committee
to call upon Senator Sterling today
and express their disapproval of the
Myers amendment and ask for his
views on the subject. !, was proposed
that Senator Myers and other senators
who are said to be opposed to the Ster-
ling bill will be interviewed. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill will be called up be-
fore the Senate again tomorrow.
G. Eder Reed. secretary of the con-
ference, expressed the opinion that
the Sterling bill without the Myers
amendment would be passed by the
Senate as soon as it was possible to
get vote on it. He explained that
the House had not yet considered the

mittee.
Many Seek Passage.
Many letters are received from per-
sons who have grown old in the gov
ernment service and are now pray
ing for the passage of the retirement
law. said NJ. T. Finnan. assistant sec
retary of the National Letter Carriers
Association. He deplored the failure
of Congress to act with more prompt
ness in the matter of retirement leg
islation and described some of the
discussion on the floor of the Senate
yesterday as "camouflage" to defeat
the measure.
In the four-day canvass among
members Of Congress. jeremiah Con-
molly said that the majority of the
sentiment was in favor of an increase
in bonus pay to government employees
and good feeling was noted on the
question of retirement. He spoke op-

and when they started home at about
the same time some of them travel
ed at a very high rate of speed.

him Walter Gerke, driver of the taxi,
to identify the men.
Before the sheriff reached Marietta
he came across the two lads walking
and questioned. They said they were
on their way from Iowa Falls to this
city. Knowing of the escape of the
Eldora boys the sheriff took the lads
into custody. They were searched
and the sheriff found butcher

those seen by the Marietta residents
and suspected OF being the, taxi
thieves. They were brought to this
city and were returned to Eldora
