NEW RETIREMENT
BILL APPROVED
Washington.—The bill to liberalize
the civil service retirement law, in
troduced by Mr. Dale, passed the sen
ate without a dissenting vote.
The bill has been urged by organ
ized government employes for two
years. The maximum retirement an
nuity is increased from $1,000 to
$1,200. Optional retirement after 30
years' service, providing the em
ploye has reached a certain age, is
permitted.
Under the present law all employes
are eligible for retirement after 15
years' service if they have reached
the age of 70.. The Dale bill permits
them to retire at 68, after 30 years'
service.
Postal employes who now have to
wait until they are 65 years of age
to retire, will be able, under the Dale
bill, to retire at 63, and employes in

RULE-BY-PEOPLE
THEORY JEERED
BY MUSSOLINI
Rome, Italy.—The theory that the
people are supreme was declared by
Mussolini to be "a most constitutional
falsehood" at the annual convention
of Fascist organizations.
The autocrat was applauded when
he referred to those "who have as
sumed grave responsibility in guid
ing the Italian people." He praised
workers for accepting wage reduc
tions.
The speech clearly defined differ
ences between one-man rule and gov
ernment by the majority.

WILLIAM NEER
PASSES ON
Chicago.—W. A. Neer, secretary of
the Milk Wagon Drivers' Union, sud
denly died in Honolulu, where he had
gone to regain his health.
Through his genius he made the
milk drivers' organization one of the
most wonderful unions in this coun
try.
Washington.—"The death of Wil
liam Neer is a loss to the trade union
movement," said Daniel J. Tobin,
president of the Brotherhood of Team
sters, who is in this city attending a
meeting of the A. F. of L. executive
council, of which he is a member.
"William Neer showed the possibil
ities of unity by the workers," said
Mr. Tobin. "Under his leadership
these drivers raised wages, shortened
hours and took a leading part in every
civic and social activity. He did what
was declared to be impossible."

Says
Court
Cumberland, Md. Circuit Court
Judge Albert A. Daub has declared
unconstitutional the Maryland law
which imposes a special yearly tax on
chains of six stores or more.
"It is not shown why the interest
of the public, as distinguished from a
particular class, requires that chain
stores be regulated," the court said.
"The jobber and wholesaler may be
interested in some form of regulation
or elimination of competition, but the
evidence does not show that the pub
lic has been damaged by chain stores
or theii\ methods of operation. And
even if the welfare of the public de
manded some form of regulation this
act wholly fails to provide any regu
lation at all. It is an act to check "and
destroy, to eleminate competition in
foodstuffs rather than to promote
competition in tHe interest of the
general public, the consumers."
The court said that no class of re
tailers could be outlawed, either un
der the civil or the criminal law,
"merely because they are acquiring
by efficient methods of business
large proportion of the retail gro
cery business of the country."

MUSSOLINI'S
Grip Steadily Tightens In
Italy
Rome, Italy.—The Italian Senate
and Chamber of Deputies accepted
Mussolini's proposal that election of
members of Parliament be taken from
citizens and placed in the hands of
business corporations and organiza
tions of workers that are controlled
by the government.
So-called trade unions are officered
by government appointees. No work
er can vote in these "unions" unless
he accepts Fascism—the theory that
no liberty is inherent in the individual.
Under the new election proposal,
no minority party is permitted and
all candidates will come from the
Fascist.
Mussolini hailed the bill as "a great
legislative novelty," when, in truth, it
is the age-long scheme of destroying
representative government.
"I have not the slightest hesitation
in declaring that universal suffrage is
a pure constitutional fiction," said
Mussolini, in an impassioned plea for
the bill. The premier scoffed at the
theory that any individual has inalien
able rights. The state is supreme, he
said. The state must be sole arbiter
of political and social disputes between
citizens.
Under Fascist law it is a criminal
offense for workers to strike. Wages
are set by law, free speech is denied,
the newspapers are muzzled and no
proposal can be submitted to Parlia
ment without Mussolini's approval.
