Department Clerks Protest Against Being
Ordered to Work Extra Hours.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE provision in
the pending legislative appropriation bill
which compels department clerks to work
an extra hour is exciting storm of indgna-
ton among those to be affected, and the
local papers are teeming with communica-
tions ON the subject. One writer suggests
that if members of Congress will attend to
their duties as faithfully as the clerks do,
they will have done more than the country
has ever expected of them, and adds: "The
clerks are not responsible for the lost cleo
ton, nor for the smallpox in Baltimore,
nor the Newhall House disaster in Milwau-
kee. nor have they smoked Havana cigars
and drank champagne at the governments
expense while with the funeral cortege of
one of her noble dead. They had nothing
TO do with the river and harbor bill, and
are not to be blamed for the depth of water
in the South Pass. Then why make them
more servile, or why put upon them any
severer burdens?
