HOURS OF LABOR.
The Recent Order Not Intended to Go
Beyond Four O'Clock.

The Recent Order Not Intended to Go
Beyond Four O'Clock.
Temporary CONSERVATION prevailed among
tne employees OF the executive departments
over rumor that the President and cab
met had determined on a strict enforce
ment Of the law requiring of all clerks
and employees not less than seven hours of
labor each day, excepting only Sundays
and holidays. The recent order to this ef-
fect was construed by some hypercritical
clerk as abolishing the usual half-hour re-
cess at neon for luncheon or else requiring
the clerks to remain at their desks from Q
10 4:s0 o'clock. the added half hour repre-
sentlng the time lost in luncheon
Inquiry at the various departments
showed that the order had no such pur-
pose, the half hour for luncheon being re-
garded as a necessary feature of the DAVIS
work. The main purpose of the new order
as explained at the Treasury Department
was to do away entirely with the practice
OF reducing the hours of labor on days inn
meoiately, preceding holidays.
Copy of the Order.
The following is copy of the order issued
by the Secretary Of the Navy, " hich is prac-
ucally the same as those issued by the other
departments:
1t is made by law the duty of every head
Q, an executive department to require of all
clerks and other employees under his con-
troi, OF whatever grade or class, not less
than seven hours of labor each day, except
ing only Sundays and legal holidays
10 remove the misapprehension which
Seems TO prevail on this subject and pre-
vent the ann oyance and inattentionsto duty
wnicn at tmes result, it is ordered that
hereafter no clerk or other employe of this
department be relieved from duty, save in
individual cases for causes specified by law
curing any part of the working hours of any
oay' except Sundays and legal HOLIDAYS"

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 4-Yesterday's de-

spending advance on this side We're utilized
Tor selling purposes, the difficulties of the
situation being generally recognized.
The continued hesitancy on the part of
the administration in the face of the Sem

nent against val es

abb course of the market have been passed
unnoticed of late, but il is to be noted that
no adverse developments have been re-

The bank statement again reported q
large contraction i'm loans, nearly thirteen
millions being substracted from last weeks
total This policy on the part of the banks
is not unnatural in view of the strained
situation.
An increase in specie is reported as the
result of the gold imported from Europe in
view of an approaching bond issue.
An increase of nearly four millions in
reserve is shown account of the de-
crease in deposits, requiring a smaller
reserve fund.
The statement is not consistent by over
two million dollars, and consequently does
not accurately reflect the weeks banking
operations.

The Garbage Controversy.
There is little prospect that garbage
crematory will be located upon the site
recently selected on the east side of oath
street north Of N street. The situation
briefly is that the Commissioners have be-
fore ther1 the vigorous protests of the res
fdents and property owners in the vicinity
of the proposed site, and are simply wait
ing for the contractor to make applica-
ton for a permit to erect the crematory
before taking action. 1t is not believed
that this application will be made.
Yesterday afternoon the garbage people
Inventor Brown stated among other things
that the crematory would be open and
ready for business some day this month
He had guaranteed there would be no odor
and desired to add that the plant would be
run according to the wishes of the Com
missioners.
Contractor Warfield is not content with
getting a reduction of the fines imposed
upon him and wants refund of all that
fore the Commissioners next week and urge
his contention.

The sanitary office of the District has
thus far had little to do on account of ap-
plca tions from the poor for assistance, ow-
ing to the cold snap. According to exper-
ience in the past, in two or three days
from now many persons who will have
contracted cold and other ailments from
exposure will apply to the sanitary officer
for assistance and treatment at hospital.
Not few cases that usually come to the
attention of the sanitary Office are of men
who complain of cruel treatment on the
oyster boats and desire transportation to
their homes.
