ADDITIONAL CLERKS
may Be RETIRED
Committee Favors Extending
Benefits Outside of
Civil Service.

"Selective retirement" of certain un-
classified civil service workers here
was discussed at a meeting Of the
special committee Of the joint confer
ence on retirement yesterday after
noon.
1t was decided that instead Of ask
Ing President Wilson to issue a gen.
eral blanket order taking in all mem-
bers Of the unclassified civil service
under the benefits of the retirement
law. it probably would be better to
ask that care be first taken Of the
urgent cases.
With this end in view conference
is to be held this week with President
Martin A. Morrison Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. The commission has
power to recommend to the President
extensions of the benefits of retire
ment.
Need Retirement Benefits.
It was pointed out by DR.. c. Eder
Reed. who made the proposal for a
. "selective retirement" that there
exists number of decrepit persons in
the unclassified service who especially
need the benefits of retirement. These
cases. he declared. should receive first
attention.
Classify individuals first" Dr.
Reed told the other members of the
special committee. which met at the
Office of Thomas Flaherty, secretary
treasurer of the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks. at the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor building.
Could Secure Annuities.
Those who might thus be brought
under the benefits of the civil service
retirement law. DR.. Reed pointed out,
could secure their annuities without
payment to the annuity fund if their
thirty years service with the govern
ment had been covered before August
21. last, when the retirement law be-
came operative.
If they desired to make use Of time
elapsed since then to bring their
service to the needed minimum re-
quirement. they could do SO by de-
posting in a lump sum the 2h per
cent of their yearly salary covered
by the time consumed since Au-
gust 81.
Classification of individuals in the
unclassified service would not be disA
criminatory. DR.. Reed said. but on
the other hand would help to clarity
the atmosphere in relation to the ex-
tension of retirement privileges to
the unclassified.
