THE TINE or WORKING on TIIg TREASURY
BUILDING.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has settled for
the present tho question with the workmen employed on
the building In view OF the fact that there Is no uni-
form practice in pnblic or in private establishments
here in reference to hours Of work the Secretary deems
It inoxpediont TO make any change until general con
curence IN action Of I'll the departments employing n
Dor in Washington be secured. The rules consfi'
tute az days work ten hours, aud when less time III
teryenes between hour after sunrise and sunset
that time IL to be still observed. II is not unlikely that
Compress will be asked to settle the difficulty by passing
law for the payment Of Government workmon ~ the
hour, instead OF the day. The proposition OF the Su
peryisng Architect Of the Treasury which led TO the
strike, was that ten hours should constitute days
work. at 81 80 and that for every additional hour hall
as as much again. additional pay should be given.
