MEET HERE
ON CLERK
PENSIONS
Joint Confsrees on Retirement
To Ask Congress to Lower
Present Age Limit.

Joint conferees on retirement in
the Civil Service, who are to meet
in Washington tomorrow night, will
ask Congress to revise the present
law whereby thousands Of Govern
ment employees in Washington, now
barred under the present retire
ment bill, may benefit by its pro-
visions.
Under the present status of the
bill approximately 1000 Federal
employees in the District of Colum-
bia last yea. qualified for their
share of the old-age pension pro-
Ided for in the bill.
Barred by Technicality.
Thousands of other employees In
Washington. ii is pointed out. are
barred through technical wording OF
the bill, which provides that an en-
ploye who has served thirty wears
In the Government may receive the
maximum of 1920 annuity per year,
but that he or she must be 20 years
of age, IL q clerk, 81 II Il mail clerk,
or 65 II a mechanic.
Hundreds of employees In various
departments. II is said by members
Of the retirement commission, have
served tho Government for thirty
years and longer. but because they
have not attained the necessary age
they cannot avail themselves OF the
retirement funds.
The annuities under the present
bill, which went into effect May,
1920, range from 1896 per year, for
fifteen years service. up to SEQ per
year for thirty years service.
Lower Age Limit Sought.
The Joker" in the bill, members OF
the commission point out, Is the fact
that in order to participate in the
pensions the retired clerk must be
OF such an age that when the pension
finally comes the clerk cannot long
live to enjoy It..
Efforts will be made to lower or
eliminate the age provision OF the ap-
plicant, as we'll as to increase the an
nual annuity.
The conference will be held In the
offices of the National Federal EN-
ployes, 1923 New York avenue. Robert
