Under the construction Of the law, made
some time ago by Secretary Folger, leave
OF absence OF employees of the treasury de-
partment was limited TO thirty days in
each calendar year, with pay, except in
case OF sickness. Ii had heretofore
been the custom to allow employees ten or
fifteen additional days leave, that they
might 90 home to vote. Now absence from
duty on that account will be deducted from
the thirty days leave allowed by law. In
case an employe has taken his full leave
before the time OF voting has
arrived, he can only 10 home to vote by
losing his pay for the time he may be
absent No action has been taken in the
matter by the heads Of other departments,
but 1t is thought they will concur In the
construction made by Secretary Folger.
