Why Don,t Thcy oct TheIr Pay {,

To tho Edltor OF lliE kEPuBLlCAN:
On the occasion of the death and
funeral of the late President the employees of the
Government Printing Office were, by order Of tho
Public Printer, suspended from work for six days
without pay, Notwithstanding that all of the en-
ployees Of the other Departments were paid for
time lost oil that account This invidiOus distinc-
tion was considered IN the light of a violation of
every principle of justice equity, and repre-
scented TO the superintendent of that Office
who claimed, after enforcing the closure of his
| department, that he had no legal right TO allow
compensation for the time lost. In view of this he
sent an official communication to the Comptroller
of the Treasury, asking him for his decision TO
whether he should allow pay for the time lost by
the closing of the Office. The Comptroller has had
| the communication since the latter part OF
last September, and up to the present
time has failed to render any decision IN the case.
This delay is said TO be owing TO press of busi-
ness which daily comes to his Office aud Is con-
sidered to be paramount to that of the eighteen
| hundred male and female employees of the Gov
| ernment Printing 0nlce. IL will be well for those
| high in authority to understand that this seeming
Indifference to the interests of the working classes
| will come honic1o them when they least expect
or least prepared to feel thenfuenee emanating
