MORGAN LACKEY
FIGHT AGAINST
PENSION BILLS
Cal Blocks Retirement at
62 Years of Age
.speoIaI 70 La Daily Workerl

WASHINGTON, April 12-Govern-
ment clerks must not voluntarily re-
tire until they are at least 20 years of
age, if they are to partake of the PEN
sions to which they have contributed
one-half the cost, President Coolidge
has insisted in interviews with lead
ers in congress.
Standing squarely in the way Of
progress toward enactment Of the re-
tirement bill favored by big majorities
in the house and senate, the chief ex.
ecutive offers unspoken threats Of a
veto for the bill and political punish
ment for republicans who may seek
to pass it over his veto. Trading on
the political timidity of legislators, the
master of the federal patronage or
ganization serves notice that he will
tolerate no sympathy with the pleas
of hundreds of thousands of federal
employees for a fair standard of old
age pensions.
Openly Fights Bill.
Coolidge came into the open in his
fight against the aged clerks and
postal employees when he had carried
indirect attacks as far as they would
go. He first caused some Of the con-
gressmen to believe that he would &C
cept bill which allowed the pension
ing Of railway mail clerks at So, and
the general clerical force at IS years.
Now he has stated to Representative
Lehlbach, author of the pending meas
ure, that he is opposed to any retire
ment for ordinary clerks under 70
years of age. And he is against the
$1,000 maximum rate of pension. He
thinks 1000 maximum is enough. I'm
der the present law the maximum is
1920 a year and the average pension
actually paid is about $3.50. Under the
81 200 maximum the average pension
would be near $500. Coolidge would
cut this average. He declares that
old people don't need that much, in
the average case, and, anyhow, it is
too great a burden on the people Of
property who pay taxes.
In order to block action in the sem
ate and house Coolidge demanded of
Representative Lehlbach and Senator
Stanfeld, who were preparing to ask
the senate and house to vote on the
bill before adjournment, that they first
show him exactly how much their plan
would cost the treasury next year.
He has the backing of Director Lord
Tof the budget bureau, who asks for
the cost sheets in order to have a
basis for claiming that the cost is too
high.
