This fair is superior to any fair held

with people, horses and vehicles. The
races are always good and the live
stock exhibits are the best. Racine is
always well represented at the fair

is carried and all will be surprised to
see the thousands of people who travel
many miles to attend the fair.

THE CENSUS CLERKS COMPLAIN.
The New Pay Order Creates Disse=-
sion and Dissatisfaction


The clerks employed in the Census Office
are complaining because Of an order is
sued by the Chief Clerk, Edward McCau-
ley, which directs that hereafter, and be
ginning June Is. all salaries will be paid
after Office hours and not during the
working day, as has been the custom The
plea is made by the employees that they
Will be kept waiting after D. m for
their money, when formerly they were
enabled to quit work long enough TO get
the cash and were ready to depart at the
closing hour.
The orders issued in connection with the
matter are as follows:
beginning with June 10, 1901, you are
directed to pay the salaries of the officers
and employees of the Census Office on the
18th and last days of each month. after
Office hours. Any persons not receiving
their salaries on the days above mention

hereby notified that the disursing office

at this Office may receive their salaries
H. A BARROWS,
''Disbursing Clerk"
When seen in regard to the order this
morning Mr.. McCauiey stated that the
new rule had been adopted in the inter
est Of economy and that no hardship
would be entaiIed upon any person in the
building.
The trouble has been" said be, that
we loose one whole day every time we
pay off This makes two days per month
and at the rate at which we are being
pushed at present it is a great handicap.
We are trying to complete in two years
the work which was formerly done in nine
years and with Congress prodding Us all
the time we cannot afford to waste two
valuable days each month
Heretofore the clerks have been able
to leave their places at any time during
the day and 90 to the Office Of the dis
bursting clerk 1t usually happened that
several hundred would be crowding
around at the same time, and this caused
great delay. The only person having a
grievance under this order is the disburs-
lug clerk, and he will have to rush mat
ters for four days per month In place Of
two. You see the clerks VIII not nave TO
wait around on the usual pay day, as we
have arranged matters so that any clerk
7s.Io does not wish to delay can come on
t:aa following day and receive what is
coming to him or her. The order viii help
the work of the office in a great meas
ure."
H a BarrOws. the disbursing clerk
stated that he could not see wherein any
injustice was being done TO the clerks
through this order
1t is a fact that we lose two days
months paying off" said he, and the
clerks have been drawing pay for this
time When the clerks leave their places
