with pleasure that we publish the fol-

Saturday Department Closing.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of Thursday it is stated
that Secretaries Root and Moody have
concluded that they are prohibited by ex-
lsuns statutes from requiring less than
seven hours work for each day." and the
law is quoted, mot less than seven hours
each day except Sundays and DAYS de-
clared public holidays by law or executive
Order" although personally DESTROYS" of
doing so during the heated term In your
paper about a year ago you called atten-
ton to a then recent act of Congress by
which they have authority to close the de-
partments on Saturdays not at o'clock
only and during the heated term only, but
at IL o'clock every Saturday during the
year. On page 140f of vol. 81 Statutes at
Large, in Chap. 46, on Negotiable Instru-
ments it is enacted that every Saturday
after IL o'clock noon shall be a legal holi-
day within the meaning of this section
Q3S9), but by the act of June 80, 1902 on
page SAB. Vol. 80, part 1, the words with
in the meaning Of this section" are ordered
stricken out and the words "for all pur-
poses" substituted, making the law read,
Every Saturday after II o'clock shall be
legal holiday for all purposes. This law
is under the head District Code" and was
originally intended. 1t would seem, to ap-
ply to legal papers. but as the executive
departments are in the District, what can
the change to "for all purposes mean
but that the departments shall be closed
as they are on the usual legal holidays,
which are enumerated in the original Sec
ton.
The last legal holiday established or
provided for before after IL o'clock every
Saturday was Labor day, and there was
no hesitation in carrying the law into eff
feet, but here is another law of the same
character which has been ignored for over
year. The executive heads being de-
sirous of obeying the letter of the law
should lose no time in carrying out the lat
ter law. EQUITY.
