Merchants Association, at the hear
ing before the House committee on

chase of the fuel yard would cause

DEMANDS GOVERNMENT
KEEP OUT OF BUSINESS
Chamber Of Commerce Of United
States Opposes District of Co.
lumbia Insurance Bill.

TIE Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States stands definitely op-
posed to the "encroachment of the
government upon matters properly
within the scope of private endeaver,"
it announced today in letter from
Vice President Goodwin to Represen-
tative Focht of Pennsylvania, chair
man OF the District committee, COM
menting on a bill introduced in the
House by Representative Fitzgerald in
January, to create a District of
Columbia insurance fund.
In voicing opposition to the provisions
of the Fitzgerald bill, the letter from
MIR. Goodwin made it clear that the ma
tional chamber Is in no way attempting
to express opposition to the principle
OF workmen's compensation insurance.
The chambers protest, the letter points
out, is against the form which the bill
takess--provision of compulsory mo-
nopolistic insurance, leaving to the
employer no option in selection of
an insurance carrier.
Government monopoly of the
type prescribed by the pending
measure can be justified only by the
affirmative demonstration that in
surance under private direction has
failed to fulfill its function. Such
a demonstration has not been forth
coming" the letter declares.

U. S. EMPLOYEES WATCH
CIVIL SERVICE HEARING
Take Great Interest In Considera-
tion of Proposed Reform
to Start Tomorrow.

Government employees are taking
great interest in the hearings which
start tomorrow before the House
committee on reform in the civil
service on amendments proposed by
Representative Fairfield of Indiana
to the civil service retirement act.
The principal interest at the pres
ent time centers in the fact that
these amendments are purposed to
protect veterans in the government
service against summary furlough.
such as happened to men thirty and
thirty-five years in the service, and
some even as much as forty three
years, at the navy yard last week.
The Fairfield amendment would
make it possible for a man reaching
the age of sixty to retire and make
this provision retroactive to 1920. 1t
also proposes to increase the maxi
mum retirement annuity to $1,000 in
stead of $720.
Representative Fairfield believes
that this latter provision can be put
through only If there is a corre-
spending increase in the contribution
of the employe. He believes that this
might easily be made a basis for
protective insurance for the govern
mena employe, so that while he was
contributing to the insurance he
would have the guarantee from the
government that he would not be
dismissed.
