''The clerks in the executive departments

office hours, He has, however, introduced a
bill as separate measure, providing that the
office hours in all departments shall be eight
instead of seven. This bill was referred to
the appropriations committee, but as it is
not in the nature of an appropriation it will
have no special privilege in the House, and
will never be reached. As long as the item
of increased hours was in the appropriation
bill there was chance to have it passed but
