THE PLAN NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION BIZ THE
CABINET.
The point In regard to the annual leaves of
department employees which 10 now being con-
sidered by members Of the cabinet is to allow
the period Of thirty days, but to deduct the
time lost by the clerks during the year through
sickness or other causes. 1t Is argued that 1t is
not fair to give the same amount Of leave to
clerks who have been steady at their desks
during the entire year and to those who have
In addition II is the intention TO try
to have a uniform rule In all the depart
ments In regard to the number Of clerks TO be
granted leave at one time, and an effort will be
made TO provide that only twenty per cent OF
the clerks in q bureau can be given leave at one
time. While these proposed changes were orr.
ginally suggested BY the Postmaster General he
has no Intention of imposing conditions upon
the clerks in the Post ONCE department which
do not exist in the other departments. For
this reason the final adoption of the sugges-
tions made will depend upon the cooperation
Of the other departments. 1t is stated that
there is no doubt but what ultimately uniform
rule will be adopted governing all the depart
ments, which will allow a yearly leave OF alb.
sence for thirty days minus the time that the
clerk has been absent during the year from
sickness and other causes.
