1927 Weather Set
Warm, Wet Record,
Bureau Concludes

Summarizing the much discussed
weather for 1927, the Weather Blu
reau concluded yesterday that for
the country at large it was warm
or and wetter than normal. and
that the growing season. repre-
scented by the period between the
last killing frost in Spring and the
first in Fail. was longer than in an
average year"
Calling attention to reports that
last year was TO be 'fraught with
menace to the peoples Of the world"
because of widespread destruction
Of crops by cold and dry weather
and a short growing season. the
bureau said that none of these
calamities occurred. as crop DAM
age. in general. by adverse wealth
er. was not greater than in many
other recent years.

URGES REVISION
OF PENSION COSTS
Employees Head Says U. S.
PAYS 10. Per Courthouse
Group Votes $3.50 Basis.

From the cold figures Of the report
Of the board Of actuaries of the civil
service retirement fund, Luther Stew
ard, president Of the National Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees. today drew
conclusions which he claims support
his contention that the annuity and
voluntary age retirement features OF
present retirement legislation should
he changed At the same time. he
pointed out that the Government. in
stead of paying a $3.50 share OF the
retirement fund. is actually paying
much less than that.
For the first time since retirement
was established by law more than
seven years ago. the House appropria-
lions committee has acted to apprODri-
ate money to match the contributions
of the employees. In the Interior De-
partment appropriation bill. reported
out yesterday. an appropriation Of
S19. $50 900 is carried as the contribu.
ton of the Federal Government to.
ward the retirement fund.
Mr.. Steward said:
1T appears that employees Of the
departmental and field services other
than mechanics. laborers and postal
employees. who shall have contributed
from their salaries to the retirement
fund for period of 30 years before
being retired will have paid S91a per
cent Of the cost Of their respective
annuities. leaving but 1919 per cent
to he borne by the Government. II
further appears that the group Of EN-.
ployes whose present retirement age
is 40. pay more and receive less benefit
than the other groups.
These facts in themselves furnish
the strongest kind Of argument ia
support a liberalization Of the retire
| ment system by increasing the
annuity. lowering the compulsory age
Of retirement, and permitting retire
ment at the option of the employee at
the age of so after 80 years service
These ;iberalizing features. when en-
acted. would shift fair proportion OF
the expense Of the system upon the
Government. as was contemplated
when the original retirement act was
adopted"
Several measures are before the
present Congress for liberalization OF
the retirement laws. Most OF them
would increase the maximum annuity
from the present $1,000 to $1,000
Others would so amend the law as Ia
iron out supposed inequalities.
