since the announcement thar TIC first

According to advices received from

Some Of the commentators stoutly

that Great Britain would insist upon

Flowery announcements and full

LONGER Hours For clerks.

About a year ago Attorney General
w H Moody Chen Secretary of the
Navy, made himself intensely unpop-
sular with the government clerks, who
were then working about six hours
day, by suggesting at meeting of
the Cabinet that the clerks ought to
work ats1east seven hours a day His
suggestion was adopted by all the
secretaries, and a general order was
issued keeping the clerks at their
desks from 9 in the morning until
$50 IN the afternoon The innova-
ton was predicted blunder fore
doomed to failure, and it was CON
tended that the government would
get more work out of its clerks by
keeping them at their desks half
hoors longer each day than before.
The latter statement was probably
tine Secretary Morton, Mr. Moody's
successor in the Navy Department,
has now introduced a change even
more drastic. He has ordered all his
clerks TO report at O'Clock in the
morning and stay until 5. The work
in the Navy Department has fallen
behind, and Mr. Morton is applying
the practical remedy which his ex-
perience as an old railroad man suc-
aests to him He knows that Con-
gress VIII not grant him more clerks.
and so he must get more work out of
his present force
Distressing as this action of Mr..
Morton,s is, 1t is ec1ipsed by the ru-
NOR that Secretary Shaw is serious
5ly thinking of making the Treasury
clerks work from 8 to 5. The other
secretaries are also taking the mat
ter under consideration, and it will
probably be discussed at a coming
Cabinet meeting. Congress, too, may
take hand in it when the sundry
civil appropriation bin comes up for
passage. The law at present says
that the clerks shall work at least
seven hours. and it is within the
discretion of every secretary to make
the clerks work as much longer as
the public service may demand.
