Service Pensions
For Postal Force
Proposed by Hays
Reward ON so Years Work,
His Plan; Asks Fair Deal
for Labor; Praises Har-
ding at Carriers Meeting

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Postmaster
General Will II. Hays declared himself
in favor of service pension for pos
tai employees in an address he made
here to-day before the annual conven-
ton of the National Association of
Letter Carriers. His speccp was de-
voted largely to plea for cooperation
between capital and labor and an ex-
position of the efforts of the Postoftice
Department to humanize the service,
both in the interests of efficiency and
fairness to the employees.
II favor a service pension" said Mr..
Hays. "By that I mean a pension for,
say, thirty years in the service. re-
CARELESS of age. This should be for
an amount adequate in the circum-
stances"
Mr.. Hays pointed out to the letter
carriers also that the new postotiice
administration had done away with the
automatic retirement policy and that
henceforth employees would be per-
mitted to remain in the service if they
wished. A tuberculosis sanitarium for
employees also was suggested by the
Postmaster General in an address that
took up in detail the improvements
that already have been brought about
Mr.. Hays spoke cordially of the
value of labor organizations, declar~
ing: .
"The labor of this country is entitled
to and must receive fair representa-
ton in all the councils of the nation.
s"For myself l am convinced that
the true solution of the questions arts
ing between labor and capital lies in an
awakened public conscience, in thor
ough incubation Of the spirit of fair
dealing among men; then in organiza--
ton, and in the establishment of
boards of Cancellation or arbitration
which are absolutely free from the
polluting touch of selfish interests or
political demagogues, to which the in
forests concerned may freely and con-
fdently appeal"
Mr.. Hays paid warm tribute to the
President, saying:
'President Harding possesses just
those vital qualities of mind and heart
necessary to-day and in the time ahead.
His poise of mind, his soundness of
judgment, his hold on fundamentals,
his appreciation of the needs of to-day
and of tomorrow, his love Of the peo-
pie from whom he came and of whom
he is one and his faith in them, his
magnificent grasp of large affairs, his
great native ability and his training in
craftsmanship, his regard for the opin-
ion of others, his experience and sue
cess in the handling Of men, his proper
appreciation of his country's position
as responsible factor in the worlds
future, but with the fullest realization
of the absolute Importance of our own
supreme nationalism; his sterling
Americanism, his righteous character
and manhood ond xuitbol h;c I'll
humanness, all qualify him in the most
exceptional degree for his tremendous
responsibilities.
"He is in no sense partisan Presi
dent, he is the President of us all
with enough Democrats voting for him
to give them so per cent equity in
him--and we may look with the most
complete confidence to his perform
ance."

English Woman Accused
Of Swimming .Hoaxes
Claim of Almost Crossing Chan.
mel Called Fraud in Affidavit
Printed Inv Newspaner

LONDON, Sept. 5.--The swimming
exploits of Mrs. Arthur Hamilton,
noted English swimmer, are being sub
jected to the same sort of attacks as
those which were prevalent after DR..
Cooks famous polar exploration.
Since August 20, when Mrs. Hamil-
ton claimed to have almost swan the
English Channel, after having been in
the water twenty hours, other swim
mers have been demanding proofs of
her adventure. "The Evening Stand
ard" to-day printed an affidavit of a
prominent Margate business man, A. L..
Porter, alleging that Mrs Hamilton's
exploit of September, 1920, when she
claimed to have spent twelve hours in
the water in bad weather, and to have
reached within nine miles of the
French coast, was fraud. Mr.. Porter
asserts, in his affidavit, that he lent
Mrs. Hamilton motor boat to accom-
pany her, and that she left the water
after an hour and spent the night in
the boat in Margate Harbor with Mr..
Porter and other members of the &C.
companying party.
Mrs. Hamilton was accompanied on
Der last trip by tug occupied by
French sailors. Her rivals are now de-
manding chart of her trip, of which
the tug captain says there is none. 1t
is also complained that there were no
reliable witnesses aboard the tug.
Mrs. Hamilton, in an interview this
evening, denied the statements of Mr..
Porter She characterized his accusa-
ton of fraud as "vile libel"

Tiny Blaze in Times
Square Draws Multitude
Smoke Squad Finds Only Heap
of Rubbish Snoldering in
ShOn Closed All nav

"Fire!" yelled somebody in Times
Square early last night. "Fire! Fire!"
howled somebody else. "Fire! Fire!
Fire!" shrieked third person, and a
fourth person turned in the alarm.
In ten minutes crowd of several
thousand persons. including fremen.
taxi drivers, theater doormen, ticket
spectators, chorus girls, first-night-
ers, bedroom farce actors, elevator
starters and fire insurance Investigate
ols, had swarmed in front of the
United Shirt Shop, at 578 Seventh
Avenue, corner of Forty-second Street.
A thin wisp of smoke was curling
from crack in the door, and after
the firemen had properly helmeted
themselves and showed the spectators
out of the way and forced an en-
trance they found that there was still
more smoke inside, but very little fire.
A heap of rubbish in the rear of the
shop, which had saved it's smoldering
for day when the place was closed
and the help at Coney Island, was the
cause of all the excitement. The fire
men conveyed the news to the crowd
in front, and the taxi drivers, theater
doormen, insurance adjusters and
ticket spectators melted away.
