pension government emplolyes after
they have been drawing their salar-
ies for years from soft snaps that
would have been performed by oth-
ers, without the pension annexed,
but that thgy were protected by th#
civil service laws. Unlike the sol-
dier who fcoes to the defense of his
country and faces the dangers of
war, they did not enlist to endure
hardships but procured their posi-
tions through political pulls. Once
that system is established, there
will be an effort to lower the age of
retirement and there will be an
army of pensioners such as followed
the civil war. Their tenure of hold-
ing on is not for a stated time, but
prolonged by the civil service pro-
tection. They can resign, like any
other citizen and seek other voca-
tions if their Jobs are not lucrative
enough or they live too fast to pro-
vide for old age. There are thous-
ands waiting to take their Jobs,
without pensions, whenever they tire
of them. Why make them more in-
viting?

PLOT BARED BY WOMAN'S
QUICK WIT AT BRIIH.E
Those who have watched wage
movements on the railroads for
years have realized that a clash was
inevitable sooner or later. The
brothedhoods have grown rapidly in
recent years, numerically and finan-
cially. It may be that they are not
averse to a test of their economic
power. The railroads have been
afraid, and have yielded outright or

bridge aided federal officials in
blocking an alleged attempt to smug-
gle four Chinese into the country
from Canada. Two inspectors had
halted a suspicious looking automo-
bile on the bridge over he Hudsop
but the chaffeur would not shut off
his engine. Mrs. William Chambers,
ticket seller, signaled to the draw-
tender, and the bridge was opened,
effectively blocking any attempt at
escape.
