Senator Dale Will Push Meas
ure in Which Interest Over
Nation Is Shown.
80 YEARS SERVICE
TO BE ELIGIBLE AGE
Employees Then Would Get $1,000
Instead of 81, 900 Annuity on
Retiring.

Action By the Senate on the bill to
improve the Government employees re-
tirement system will be sought by Sen
ator Dale, Republican, Of Vermont, as
soon as possible after the regular ses-
sion gets under way next month, the
Senator said yesterday.
This measure, which was reported
favorably to the Senate last MAY. would
raise the maximum annuity from 81 ,OOO
to $1,000 and would permit workers
who have served 80 years to retire at
lower age limits than those fixed in the
present law.
In connection with this legislation
the Senate received yesterday q petit
ton from the Pittsburgh Central Labor
Union favoring optional retirement for
Government workers after 80 years and
the 81 200 annuity. Senator Dale said
he also has received many cOmmunica-
tIons, indicating the interest IN the re-
tirement bill.
Tariff Bill In Way.
During the present special session the
Senate has confined itself to considera-
ton of the tariff bill, so that there has
not been an opportunity to take up the
retirement bill or any other general
legislation. It Is Senator Dale's inten-
ton, however, to seek passage Of this
bill the first time the Senate takes up
its calendar of general business.
This is substantially the same bill
which passed both House and Senate
in the last Congress, but which was
not signed by former President Coolidge.
necessitating its reintroduction when the
new Congress met in special session last
April. The Senate civil service COM
mittee, of which Senator Dale is chair
man, promptly renewed its favorable
report on the measure, and 1t Is now the
third bill on the calendar awaiting the
regular session.
Under the present law all employees,
after IS years Of service, are eligible
to retire at 10. Under this bill all
employees, after 80 years of service,
would be eligible to retire at So, with
the increased annuity.
e5 for Postal Employees.
The present law provides that letter
carriers, post ONCE clerks and others in
that group are eligible to retire at 65,
after Is years Of service, whereas, under
the bill, these workers would be eligible
at SO after 80 years Of service. Rail-
way mail clerks and those In hazardous
work, who are now eligible to retire at
50 after Is years Of service, would be
eligible at so after 80 years Of service
under the bill.
Senator Dale's statement yesterday
indicates that the Senate probably will
act on retirement legislation flrst and
send 1t to the House for approval early
In the coming session.
