NO LAW FOR THE PAYMENT
Little Hope of Extra Money
for Bond Clerks.
PAID FOR TINE EMPLOYED
Treasury Department Not Disturb
ed-The Statutes Prohibit Addi-
tional CompensatiOn-An EN-
pIoyes Were Paid for the Actual
Days of Labor Performed.

The officials of the Treasury Depart
ment are not disturbed over the posi-
bility that at the approaching session of
Congress a bill may be introduced for the
relief of the clerks who worked over
time in the war loan division of the
Treasury
An enterprising attorney. 1t is said, has
sought out a large percentage of those
| who were clerks in this division, and will
| seek to have bill passed authorizing
payment for extra hours at the rate of
! one and one-half times the day rate for
night work, and double the day rate for
Sunday labor.
OF course, there is at present, no war
rant of law for such payment. The extra,
or temporary clerks taken into the Treas
ury, to open, classify and tabulate the
applications for war bonds and to dis
pose of these bonds to the purchasers,
were paid so much per diem and were
paid for each day of labor they perform
ed. No distinction in the rate of payment
was made for labor performed on week
days, Sundays or at night.
There is a statute which provides that
additional compensation shall not be made
to Government employees for additional
hours of labor
Section of the act of March 3, 1888, pro-
vides that hereafter it shall be the duty
of the heads of the several executive de-
partments, in the interest of the public
service, to require of all clerks and other
employees of whatever grade or class in
their respective departments, not less
than seven hours labor each day, except
Sundays, and days declared to be public
holidays by law or Executive order:
Provided, That the head of the de-
partment may by special order, stating the
reason. further extend or limit the hours
of service of any clerk or employe in their
respective departments, but in case of an
extension it shall be without additional
compensation
The subject was again considered by
Congress in an appropriation bill provid-
ing for the expenses of the legislative and
executive departments of the Government,
dated March 8, 1Ss3 Section of that act
provides, as does the act Of 1893, that the
head Of a department may extend the
hours of labor of any employe in his de-
partment without additional compensa-
ton to that employe.
In the matter of the extra" clerks who
