ANNUITY BILL
PLANNED BY
ALC0RN
By ]. EARLE MOsER

Meeting in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Building, the
Joint Committee on Civil Service
Retirement yesterday gave pre-
liminary consideration to items Of
retirement legislation which it
plans to place before the next
Congress.
Composed of numerous repre-
sentativeS of employe organiza-
tions affiliated with the A. F. L.
and headed by Robert Alcorn,
well-known exponent of liberalized
retirement for Government work
ers, the committee is expected to
draft bills for presentation to
Representative Robert RamSpeck
and Senator William j. Bulow,
House and Senate Civil Service
Committee chairmen.
Yesterdays meeting, it was
learned, was principally to discuss
preliminary details, second par
ley being scheduled for November
g. after the elections, Retirement
bills which died on Capitol Hill
last spring will not be supported
as they were, according to the
committee, and numerous minor
changes will be made in renewing
the drive. Optional 30-year retire
ment and joint and survivorShip
annunities, however, will be COM
ponent parts of any bill offered.
The committee also is planning
to oppose continuance Of the
Civil Service Commission as the
administrative agency for Govern
ment retirement. This function,
formerly performed by the Vet
eranS' Administration, should go
back to that office in the opinion
of the committee or else be placed
under the Employees CompenSa-
tion Commission, and it was
hinted that a bill may also be
drafted to accomplish this pur-
pose.
According to one committee
member, administration of retire
ment under Veterans Administra-
tion formerly averaged approx
mately $4,000 yearly, but has
more than doubled its cost since
moving to the Old Patent Office
Building. Then it is not believed
an agency solely concerned with
current personnel history should
handle workers welfare after they
have left the service, according to
members of the group.
Among those who attended yes
terday's confab were Edward j.
Gainor, president, and Clarence
Stinson, assistant secretary of the
National Association of Letter Car.

SELF-DEPENDENCE
URGED FOR LABOR
Strength in Organization, Rather
Than Government Support,
Say Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. June 9.-Two of the
American Federation of Labor's prin-
cipal Republicans agreed yesterday
that organized labor should depend
on its economic strength-rather than
on the Government-to gain its ends.
Both William Hutcheson. president
OF the carpenters. and John Coefield,
president of the plumbers. told report
ers organization was the key to labor's
problems. Both are A. F. of L. vice
presidents.
Each made his statement in discuss
ing the proposal by some party leader
to have the Republican convention
indorse constitutional amendment to
permit States to enact minimum wage
laws for women and children. Last
week, the Supreme Court threw out
the New York State law.
Coefleld said he approved Of State
protection for both women and chill
dren in industry. Hutcheson said he
thought minimum wage laws should
be confined to children.
'Minimums always tend to become
maximums," Hutcheson added.
The A. F. of L. planned to ask the
convention, through its Platform Com
mittee, to indorse a constitutional
amendment to require at least q six
to-three vote in the Supreme Court

CLEVELAND, June "a small

unsteadily on the hotel doorman's

That stumped the doorman. too,
and the searcher moved off toward
the hotel lobby Inside he bucked a

current of admirers of Col. Frank
Knox, wearing red and green pith
helmets.

Across the lobby, he became en-

A hotel official came to his aid.
