an old one. but it is not yet worked
out. Bills are to be introduced that

that If any citizen OF the town believes

action at law.

KNOX TO DECIDE ON THE
EARLY-GLOSING LAW
Mr.. Root Refers Saturday
Half-HOliday to Him.
PRESENT RULE NOT CLEAR
Act Of Congress Requires All Depart
ment Clerks TO Do a Seven
Hour Days Work.

AS stated in the Times OF Saturday.
Secretary Root has referred the ques-
tfoh Of closing the War Department on
Saturday afternoon to the Attorney
General for decision. The opinion of the
Attorney General will affect all of the
executive departments IN this respect.
Secretary Root has issued the follow
Ing statement of his position in regard
to the matter and his Interpretation OF
the law:
Il am not satisfied that the public
holidays declared by law or executive
order. which constitute the exception TO
the requirement OF seven hours labor
from the clerks Of the executive de-
paTtments, prescribed In the act OF
March 10. 1888. are to be deemed TO in
clude holidays provided for the people
OF the District of Columbia by Con-
gress acting in its capacity as local
legislature for the District.
Laws Conflict.
'It seems TO me rather that Congress
is, IN that statute. referring to public
holidays declared by law or by execu-
tive order for the public employees of
the United States when dealing with
that subject, as both Congress and the
Executive. have dealt with it. l sup
pose that, In fact, the provision made
by Congress in the civil code Of the
District for a Saturday half-holiday vac
without any actual intention on the
part OF Congress to affect the hours Of
labor Of Government employment.
Congress evidently did not have that
subject in mind. and was not intending
10 legislate In regard TO IT. The com
mittees in charge of that subject did
not consider the change. and It was
not once mentioned in debate.
Position One of Doubt.
Under these circumstances IL is doubt
fri, at least, II the Secretary of War Is
relieved from the obligations imposed
BY the act Of March Is. 1898. TO require
seven hours labor on Saturdays. There Is
no doubt whatever that he has lawful au-
thority 10 require that number OF hours
service and as there Is no doubt OF hiB
authority 10 permit less than that, /
shall feel bound 10 continue the seven
hours reputable pending a decision by
the Attorney General, to whom the
question Will be referred
