RETIREMENT BILL
HELD IN ABEYANCE
TiIson Declares Measure Has
No Place on House Pro-
qram at Present.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

The leadership of the House of
Representatives has not yet gwen
"A place upon it's legislative program
for the remainder of this session to
the liberalized retirement bill, accord
ing to Representative Tilson of Con-
necticut, Republican leader OF that
body. He informed President Cool
idge to this effect today while dis
cuSsing with him the major leglsla-
tive matter now pending in the House.
Mr.. Tilson said that those in charge
Of the legislative program are await
ing additional information. especially
regarding the exact cost to the Fed
eral Government from the funds of
the liberalized retirement act. before
hey make any decision. He said
.his legislation was touched upon only
incidentally during his talk with the
President today, and intimated that
the President is of practically the
same feeling as the House leadership.
Mr.. Tilson would make no predictions
as to the possible outcome of this
legislation at this session of Congress.
During his conference with the Pres
ident Mr.. Tilson spoke in a very hope
full manner about the prospect OF coal
legislation at this session. he stated
that the House interstate commerce
t'OlDlnltteo was making SplSIl'iiu ~ CS
ress in the conduct of hearings pre-
paratory to drafting legislation along
the lines recommended originally by
President Coolidge. and at the same
time taking into consideration recon-
mendations contained in the report OF
the United States Fact-fndinS Coal
Commission, of which John Hays
Hammond was chairman. Mr.. Tilson
appeared very optimistic about TINS
le egislation and said he would not be
at all surprised If the committee sue
coeded in reporting out a bill before
the present session comes TO an end.
The Republican leader also was op
timistic regarding the enactment of
some practical and helpful farm relief
legislation. He said that the bib in
troduced by Representative Tinchel
seems to have struck a happy chord
and would no doubt be passed. He
said this bin was discussed during his
conference with the President today
and the latter gave the impression
that he looked upon it favorably.
The President made II evident dur
ing his talk with the House leader
that he is still insistent that economy
he practiced to the fullest extent. lie
urged Mr.. Tilson TO continue to urge
members of the House to desist from
attempting to put through legislation
calling for appropriations that are not
authorized in the budget.
