THE WEEKLY HALF HOLIDAY.

A Plan Which Has Advantages Over the
Eight-Hour System.
Albany Express.
The Saturday half holiday movement of last
summer may be regarded as an entering wedge.
In England, work in manufacturing establish
ments is generally suspended on Saturday after
noon the year round. There has been more
less agitation in favor of a similar practice here.
1t is already a very general custom to remit one
hour OF the usual days work on Saturday; but the
haf-holiday movement has not gone beyond the
SHOPS and the summer season. But it is argued
with great force that there are none who
much need this half day Of rest as the working
men.
The experiment of Saturday afternoon holi-
days for workinsmen the year round. has been
tried for over four years by the Continental
works. Greenpoint, and Mr. Rowland the
principal owner Of the establishment, states that
the plan has proved to be an entire and unquali-
fed success. These works are famous as having
constructed the celebrated Monitor during the
war. and employ eight hundred men. In
May 1881, Mr.. Rowland posted q notice that
thereafter the works would be closed at noon
every Saturday. At the same time employees
were notified that fifty six hours would const-
tute weeks work instead of sixty thereto
fore, but the compensation per hour was so adj
justed as to make the weekly wages the SAME; in
other words the pay of the employees was raised
little more than per cent. Mr.. Rowland re-
ports that his firm has lost nothing by the ar
rangement-has, in fact, gained, for the men do
more work in fifty-siX hours under the holiday
system than they previously did in sixty hours.
1t appears, also, that the men were better be-
haved than before. 1t is difficult to believe Mr.
RowlaIds statement that he has not seen one of
his employees drunk during the last four years
but such he asserts to be the fact. There have
been strikes. and no other trouble of the kind
in that establishment since the half holiday
practice was adopted. Whenever the works
have been compelled to shut down, some of the
employees have obtained work elsewhere, but
they always come back when the Continental
works started up again.
Perhaps this plan would not develop such ex-
traordinary advantageous results elsewhere, but
the example cited should be great incentive
to imitation The routine of daily toll is the
most trying thing about it. 1t is not the ex.
penditure of muscular force. nor even the bodily
exhaustion whi;h follows, that is the principal
source Of discomfort among workincmen. 1t is
the want Of variety in life that makes his daily
task rksome. Give him half day to play, and
a whole day to rest. and life ought to be Won
derfully frightened for the toiler. If the en-
ployer loses nothing, then there ought to be no
sound objection to a general adoption of the
plan.

There are skeletons in royal houses, and it is
well known that there was at the court of
Madrid King Alfonso was no worse--indeed,
he was great dea! better--than men of his blood
have been before him; but, in however mitgated
q form, he had the tendencies OF his race Their
development was. perhaps, due to the rigorous
discipline to which he was subjected at the
Theresianum at Vienna. where he was educated
This is the most arstocratc college in the world
but very exactng control is exercised over it's
students. The students, as u consequence, when
they can seize opportunity to do so. plunge
headlong into the wild gayeties of life. That
Alfonso did this is certain. Many are the stories
told in Vienna Of these interludes of his college
lfe but let it be said to his credit that he was
never known to neglect his studies He work ed
while he worked, and when there was a fair
chance to play he made merry with the same
eaeerness Tho habits of his youth were not
thrown off in later years and the Queen bore
with them as only generous woman could Per-
haps she would have resented them more strong
ly if she had not known that the germs of the
disease from which he died already in his
constitution, and that anything that ruffied his
mind might have aggravated them But, after
all is said, he was a good. consderate husband
devotedy fond of his children, and his wife
loved him.
