|P0L|CE WILL WATCH
| MAY DAY PARADES
No Trouble Expected, How.
ever-TWo Marches Sched-
ued With Few Taking Part.

The celebration Of International Labor
day tomorrow will find the local police
prepared for trouble, but not expect
ing it.
There will be two parades in celebra-
ton Of the day tomorrow morning, both
probably small affairs. One, to be
staged by the Washington Unemployed
Council under the sponsorship of the
Communist Party of America. the
Young Communists League, the Inter
national Labor Defense and other
groups, Is expected by its organizers tc
number only 400 persons. The second
generally identified with the Socialist
party, will be even smaller. Robert
Shostech, organizing the second parade
estimated that 300 will march in it.
The hrst-named parade Is to leave
from Eighth street below Rhode Island
avenue at II O'Clock and proceed south
on Eighth street to M street and thence
to Peace Monument by way of M street
New Jersey avenue and First street
From Peace Monument the parade is
to 60 to the District Building by way
Of Pennsylvania avenue, Constitution
avenue and Fourteenth street.

between c and D streets and 60 east
on c street to Third street, north on
Third street to G street and west on 6
street to typographical Temple.
Both parades will carry banners, and
one of them to be carried in the un-

broke up the last parade attempted by
this group.
Ample details of uniformed police
men. however, will be on duty at both
parades to maintain order.

RETIREMENT PLAN
CHANGES OUTLINED
Discretionary Authority Is
Substituted for Automatic
Dismissals.

The retirement provision written into
the independent ofices appropriation
bill to be reported to the House Tues
day and taken up for consideration un-
der . special rule on Wednesday will
provide:
Authority to the President during q
two-year period, to retire, on annuity,
Government workers who have been 80
years in service, instead of the authority
he now has to discharge them-in ef-
fecting economy through a considerable
reduction of the Government personnel.
This will be discretionary authority,
instead Of automatic compulsory retire.
ment as recommended by the budget
director, so that supervisors, scientists,
lawyers and other key men Of special
value to the Government may be re-
tanned.
Annuity to Average $1,000.
The annuity will average approx
mately $1,000 with deduction of the
31a per cent of employees compensation
to the retirement fund. until the age
Of retirement Is reached when the 317
per cent deduction will cease.
Provision under which efficient en-
ployes retired during the two-year
period of retrenchment, may later be
re-employed and their retirement status
protected,-in the interests of economy
and efficiency in the Federal service.
Compulsory retirement of all who
have served 80 years would have affect
ed $4,000 Government workers, 1000 Of
whom are in washington. The selective
provision protects many of the most
valuable employees of the Government.
It IS estimated that some IS per cent of
| the supervisory force in the postal serv-
ice are included in this 30-year class.
No estimate has been made as to how
many will be retired under the rewrit-
| ten provision, nor of the additional cost
for their annuities.
Contract Provision Changed.
! Another important change from the
budget recommendations for legislative
riders to carry out the Presidents econ
omy and reorganization program has
been made in the provision authorizing
the President to cancel or abrogate any
contract made by the Government. This
has been trimmed down to affect only
i transportation contracts, such as air.
i mail, ocean mail and railroad mail con-
| tracts.
II unanimous consent Is granted, the
general debate on the Independent Of
! fices' appropriation bill will be started
Tuesday afternoon.
This is the second and last Of the
regular annual supply bills which failed
of passage in the last Congress. This
bill received a pocket veto. The other
is the District appropriation bill, now
before the Senate.

.Armistice Day.

Today the world observes the fifteenth
anniversary of the formal termination
of the frightful European confagration
Of 19l4-1918. Millions reverently salute
the memory of the heroic dead and
pledge themselves anew to the ideals
for which they died. The occasion has
an atmosphere of high solemnity,
But few indeed must be the number
of those who do not realize that it was
merely an inconclusive truce which was
arranged that cold November morning
when the allied chiefs received the
spokesmen of defeated Germany
Through decade and half the masses
have been learning the deeper meaning
of mans struggle on the earth, and
now at last they see the folly of the
dream of artificial everlasting peace by
which they had been deluded and
betrayed, Armed strife between nations,
they understand, is only one ugly and
cruel symptom of the operation of
elemental causes for which treaties,
leagues, courts, parlaments and con-
ferences do not yet yield q cure.
What, then, is the significance of the
moment set apart for tribute to the
fallen2 The proper answer, 1t would
seem, is that of hope. Surely it was
no other motive which prompted the
tumultuous rejoicing in Paris, London
and washington November IL, 1918.
came and how multitudes reacted to
its announcement will agree that it was
the promise Of the event that thrilled
the bruised and battered heart-hope
that never again might such sacrifice
and sorrow be necessary; hope that
somehow the normal business of living
might be protected from further inter-
ruption OF the same terrible kind; hope
that the dream of order and justice,
mercy and peace might come true. The
dead had given their all for that, and
their immolation had not been in vain.
Now again nations quarrel and the
threat of Armageddon stalks abroad,
class differences are rife, sectarianism
and bigotry are rampant, poverty and
disease flourish throughout the earth
But the peoples do not despair, dare
not despair. On the contrary, they ex-
perience new birth Of hope. The age
old universal war goes on, and the
prospect of ultimate victory survives.
A new generation appears to face the
ancient problem. Detail by detail the
solution is worked out, and step by step
humanity marches on. Somewhere over
the hills lies the long sought City of
Zion, and with hope as driving force
the race will not pause until it achieves
its goal.
