THE TINE CLOCK.
What Some of the Clerks Think of
the system,

Several communications have been re-
ceived at The Star office in reference to the
time clock system. Glorious writes as
follows:
The hands at the treasury factory We're
universally relieved and delighted to read
Mr.. Auditor Castles valiant defense of
the time clocks condemned by Congress. 1t
began to look as if the unreasonable OBJ
jections OF our legislators to automatic ad-
ministration of the Treasury Department
would deprive the hands aforesaid of the
perennial music now resounding through
the halls of the building at 18th street and
Pennsylv ania avenue, to wit, the harmo-
NOUS Cling! cling!' of the pile driver at
tachment as it is manipulated twice or four
times a day by each hand.
"A blue trip-slip for n Scent fare,
A bun trip-sp for a Scent fare;
Punch, brothers, punch; punch with care;
Punch In the presence Of the passengare."
The fly in our amber is that the register
ing appliance gets out of order regularly
every other day, and stays until the
brigade of mechanicians, now under as
signment to work on the clocks can get
around to em.
When the clocks won't register the hand
must take his trip-slip to the chief clerk OF
the office or bureau to wise. 1t Is said the
chief clerks have no time now for any
other duty than keeping the time. How
many $500 chief clerks, ordinary clerks
about these wonderful mechanical appli-
ances we can only guess.
And the average treasury hand cannot
but admire the Observation-Disclosures of the
treasury officer who is responsible for the
adoption of the aforesaid wonderful pieces
of mechanism in expecting a combination
of clock and pile driver to keep in order
and do the work appointed. They are of
opinion that the normal condition of the
automatic machines is to be out of order,
and that it will require one mechanic for
each clock to insure their efficiency.
This result would be very sad. However,
the old hands hope that Congress will soon
see the improperly of opposing the perma-
nent use of appliances which give promise
of requiring the employment of a large
force of worthy mechanics and which tend
toward the halcyon period when the treas
ury will run of ITSELF with only weekly
winding-thus relieving the responsible offi-
GERS from all supervising labor. OF course,
the idea of holding chiefs of division re-
sponsible for the punctuality and appiica-
ton of the rank and file is absurd, and has
been abandoned. There Is absolutely no
other way to insure the punctual attend
ance of the hands than by the present
method. 1t was necessary that a hard and
fast rule should be laid upon all alike. No
exemption from the humiliation of daily
pumping at the trip-slip could be given the
faithful clerk who never failed, and who
brought to the performance Of his duty a

During the long trying months of the

almost too broken to do them honor.
but You and Your mothers took up the
loving task. and while too poor to raise
monuments decorated their graves
with spring flowers and tears. Soon,
with returning prosperity, aye, even
before 1T returned, you began to raise
monuments to those heroes of II Lost
Cause, and in your hearts we are as
sured that the sacrifices of the COnfcd-
crate soldier will be cherished and
remembered. and that to future gene

principle of liberty for which We

of the Old South, which we esteem
more precious than the triumph of those
