FEDERAL WORKERS
BILLS TO COME UP
Short Session of Congress to
Act on Retirement and
Other Measures.

Several questions of general interest
and importance to Government en-
ployes are expected to come before the
short session of Congress which opens
in December. They include the retire
ment bill, classification of the field Serv-
ices outside of Washington, standard
ization of the rules relating to annual
and sick leave and proposals to amend
certain features of the salary increase
law.
The retirement BILL having passed the
Senate at the last session, Is in the most
favorable legislative position of the sew
eral subjects mentioned. since 1t re-
quireS only action by the House.
With regard to the salary increase
law enacted at the last session, 1t IS ex-
pected that spokesman for the employees
will ask the Senate and House to clarity
the relative position" clause, Whlch
provided that employees should retain.
under the new classification, schedules
the same relative position or posltlons
within their respective grades that tney
held under the old law.
Increases Held Too Small.
The increases were put into effect in
July on the basis of plan worked out
by the controller generals office for
applying the relative position clause:
The contention of those who represent
the employees has been that the in
grasses as put into effect have not been
as much in many cases as Congress In
tended.
The problem of setting up classified
ton schedules for the field service Will
reach Congress in the form of report
from the personnel classification board,
which was authorized by the last session

to make a survey of the various groups
of workers in the field service, exclusive
of the postal service, the foreign service
and those whose pay is fixed from time
to time by wage boards. The classifying
of the field forces of the Government is
expected to be along the general lines
followed in setting up classification for
the departmental service in the District.
except that there are certain classes of
work in the field for which there is no
comparable group in the District.
Annuity Scale Raised.
The retirement bill, which has the
brightest prospects of enactment be-
cause of the progress made on it at
the last session, raises the maximum
annuity from $1,000 to $1,000 and
would permit retirement at the age of
So for groups now retired at 20. at SO
for those now retired at IS and at 60
for those now retired at 62.
The employees were not able to OBJ
tain in the Senate bill provision to
permit optional retirement at the age
of so on 80 years of service, but such
an amendment could be considered
when the measure is taken up in the
House
The aim of the employees on the ques-
ton of annual leave is to have Congress
standardize the rules on this subject.
It was explained by officials of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal Employees
that at present the number of days
of leave varies for certain groups of
employees.
Bills also are pending i both branch
es of Congress from the last session,
dealing with the question of the half
holiday on Saturdays throughout the
year. Certain groups of employees, such
as postal workers and skilled laborers,
have separate bills pending to provide
for the half holiday on Saturdays, but
there was introduced also a general
bill on this subject and efforts will be
made to have it considered at the COM
ing session.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Kept

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 20.-Reports re-
ceived here from all parts of the Brit
ish Isles testify to the violence of the
storm which swept Great Britain and
Ireland last night and today. The gale
reached velocity of nearly hundred
miles an hour in parts of Ireland.
Londoners, kept awake during the
long night, heard a sixty-mile wind,
interspersed with sheets of rain, rip
tiles off their roofs and wreck their
radio aerials. Telephones and telegraphs
were completely crippled
The experiences of London were mild
however, compared with those of the
north country and Ireland. Ireland
still was virtually isolated tonight and
communications were only beginning to
be established with the northern coun-
ties.
Property damage was particularly
heavy along the Clyde. All shipping,
including Transatlantic, had to be Sus-
pended.

Rowing Tricycle. in France.

Rowing M lines tat travel over
dry land are becoming popular in
France. The machine, which was in
vented recently by Frenchman, is
similar to a tricycle., the two oars"
working a chain and sprocket gear and
thus propelling the car. A small guide
wheel in front facilitates steering, which
is accomplished by pulling harder on
one handle than on the other.

Honor Given After 26 Years.

After 26 years Prof. A. w. Bicker-
son, pioneer of the theory of cosmic
evolution to which modern research is
beginning to give support, has been
honored by New Zealand University,
which dismissed him because his views
on science were considered unsound.
Recently Prof Bickerson, now an old
man. living in London, received a
cablegram saying the university had
recognized its mistake, and it had
given him the title of Professor Emer-
titus of his former college that had dis
missed him so unceremoniously.

the visitors are many rich Americans.
British naval officers stationed there
are having the hardest time, because
their salaries barely pay for the ex-
penSes of themselves and families.
