Pensions Tor employes of the Fed eral government who havo worked themselves out lit tho sen Ice la bo ins considered. Congressman Hamlll of New Jersey havliiR Introduced a hill to 'this effect. Tho Civil Service Itctlremeut Association has taken the matter Ut and doing all It can to ward gcttliiR the law passed. The substance of tho hill Is as follows: , "In II. It. 92 2 a straight out pen sion Is provider for employes who have reached the ago of 60 after SO or more yean service; tho point jn shall he 30 par cent of tho avoiaxo annual pay roct'ved dutlu the flvo j ears Just befori ictlrejr'fent. For employes who havo reached tho age of 62, after 15 to .10 years' service, n pension of 15 per cent of the aver age annual pay for tho flvo years just before retirement Is iro itleil. For those who havo reached tho age of 63. after from 20 to 25 yean of service, this bill gtvee a pension pf 40 lcr cent of the average annual pay for hte five years before retirement. No employe shall lie kopt on active rvlec after reaching 70 years of "The Mil also provides fo- total disability pension for thoso five jwars Mtd more In the service upon the fol lowing basis: Service of S to 10 years. 39 pr cm of the average an- nan) pay for the five years previous to rtlrMMit: service of 10 to 20 jmr. 40 wr cHt of the average an nual py: service of 21 years and over, 50 par cent of the average an imal pay." It is believed that the government Itaolf would profit If such a law were unacted providing superannuation. At present an omployc of Uncle Sam who has Iteeomc aged and worn Is cast aside. I'rlvato concerns treat their employes better and why should tho Federal government do less? Thousands of dollars Is spent every year by the government to pension persons far lex worthy than the civil service men and women. Is It very surprising that more young persons arc not entering tho government ser vice today' Certainly not, when there Is no promise of their lielng taken care of after they have given the best period of their life to Uncle Sam. During tho last fiscal year thcro wero 70 voluntary resignations out of a to tal of 753 employes In the weather bureau, aud U Is likely the same pro jwrtlon of resignations occur In other branches.
