1. On and after Monday, January II,
1904 the hours of labor for all clerks
and other employees of whatever grade
or class in this department, except
those now required by law or regula-
ton TO work more than seven hours
day, will be from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m,
with an allowance of one-half hour for
luncheon.
Q The foregoing provision will apply
to all Saturdays except during the
months of July, August, and Septein-
Der. During those months the hours
of labor on Saturdays, unless otherwise
ordered will be from a. m. to 1 p.
m. without an allowance for luncheon
The change in hours has affected
Washington, with it's army of clerks,
to such an extent that the whole
schedule of business, social and diplo-
Washington is city of traditions.
The time-honored o'clock dinner of
Washington, will of necessity have to
be changed 10 $50. This will dis
arrange the hours of closing business
houses. They formerly had two
hours in which to receive the patron
age of the clerks. Instead of closing
at they will hereafter close at $50.
In the official social life, afternoon
functions will have to be held later in
order that prominent Office holders
may have the opportunity to be pres
ent. Washington, as a whole, dislikes
the change, and it was all due to
backwoods congressman fumbling
among old regulations until he STUN
bled upon the one relative to the gov
ernment's working hours When he
placed the matter before Attorney
General Knox, that official was reluc-
| family compelled to anounce. that every
department in Washington was vio-
iating the regulation, and that there
after it would have to be observed.
The congressman who dug up the OBJ
noxious, regulation, now wishes he had
kept his discovery to himself

Following are extracts from debate
in the House of Representatives on
January 14S
Mr.. Wilson of Arizona Mr.. Speaker,
the amendment offered yesterday was
not TO increase the salary of the gov
ernor of this Territory, but to increase
the appropriation so as to cover the
salary allowed by law. The law of
+he land gives to the governor of Arl-
zona So. 500 a year; and say 1t is not
aroueb Governor Brodie has today
services to perform such as are re-
ouirad of scarcely any governor OF any
of the states. because of the many re-
,orts etc. that are required from hln
nv the Federal Government, in aooi-
ton to his duties in attending TO the
government of the people OF the ier-
ritory. In area and in the amount OF
official business that Territory Is pe-
vond almost any OF the States. Inc
salary allowed by law is $500 Ii the
law 10 right-and Congress passed the
Iaw-tben it is right to pay the salary

law gives YOU something and the APP
r,roprfation Committee takes IL away.
The law is either right or wrong, anu

should be made to cover II, ana ti'a'
is all we ask

Federal Clerks to

StackabIe Announces
Change for Feb.
First.
The New Order Has Disarransed
Wsshinston's Social and
Business Schedule.

Federal government employees in
Honolulu and in all parts of the Is
lands must work a half an hour longer
every weekday than usual. The busl-
ness day in future will close at 4:SO
instead of at A.
Collector of Customs Stackable has
just issued an order to the employees
in his department, requiring all clerks
on and after February /, to work from
a. m. to 4:30 p. m. with half hour
for luncheon, and on Saturdays from
a. m. to l p. m. without an allowance
for luncheon.
The regulation covering the hours OF
labor is as follows:
Hours of labor of all clerks and other
employees, of whatever grade or class,
in the Treasury Department, except
those required by law or regulation
TO work more than seven hours day,
extended from 9 a. m. to 4:3O p. M,
with an allowance of one-half hour for
luncheon. On Saturdays during the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der, the hours of labor will be from
a. M to 1 D. m., without allowance for
luncheon.
Secretary Leslie NJ. Shaw of the
Treasury Department has promulga-
ted the order for increased hours, or
rather living up to the regulation as
follows:
Treasury Department, Jan. 9, 1904
To officers and employees of the Treas
ury Department and others con-
cerned.
Attention is called to the provisions
of an act of Congress approved March
Is. 1898. which provides as follows:
It shall be the duty of the heads OF
the several executive departments, In
the interest of the public service 10
REQUIRE of all clerks and other en-
11loyes of whatever grade or class, III
their respective departments, not less
than seven hours of labor each day ex-
cept Sundays and days declared pub
lie holidays by law or executive order:
Provided. That the heads of the de-
partments may, by special order, stat
ing the reason, further extend the
hours of service. of any clerk or en-
roloye in their departments respective
": but in case of an extension it shall
be without additional compensation.
In order more effectually to comply
with the above provision of law, 1t Is
hereby ordered:

TIE PAL MER WOODS
POLITICAL RAID

It is said that the four Democratic
committeeman who had Palmer Woods
name sent on for National Committee
man, were Harvey, Rhodes Asch and
Licke. On the evening when the en-
tire committee met, two of the quar-
tet, Licke and Asche, voted for Nc
Carthy.
Col Mccarthy, when asked for his
views on the matter, said:
81 have none. I was not willing
candidate for the place, but my friends
insisted that I accept the nomination.
1 repeatedly told them that I was not
in a position where I could leave my
business and attend the convention,
and urged them to name S. NJ. Damon.
I would have been perfectly satisfied
at that time or any other time. had
known that the committee or any part
of it, desired to place some one else
in nomination. After Damon. I had
named Senator Woods.
HAD the committee desired to put
any one else in nomination would
have stepped gracefully aside and put
no obstacle in their path to put up
some one else. That was what !
wanted. But it was totally unneces-
sary to go about it in the manner they
did"

sOTHER GOVERNORS WANT
A SALARY LIKE CARRIERS

lars on the side. / want to say to the
gentleman who made that statement
that he is mistaken. The thousand
dollars on the side that is spoken or is
a contingent fund, to be used for pur-
poses not beneficial to the governor at
all: to be used for the payment of re-
wards and things of that character.
1t does not attach to his salary at all
or pay for his services in any respect
Therefore, 1 say, that can not accrue
to him. 1t accrues to the public SER
vice. but not to him. If it is right to
ignore a law, to refuse to pay the
laws demand, to take away the re-
cuirements of the law, then it is right
to vote down this amendment and say
to the governor of Arizona, You have
it by law, but by the action Of this
House you shall not have it. / ap-
peal to the fairness of the House for
the payment of this honest demand. 1t
is nothing more than a request to this
House to comply with the demands of
the law. and TO give that which the
law maintains and for which the law
provides.
What does the governor of Porto
Rico do more than the governor of Ari-
zona? He is paid $4,000 a year, and
all of the duties imposed upon the gov
ernor of Arizona are not imposed upon
him. The governor of Hawaii, sitting
at ease in Honolulu, is paid virtually
