COLONEL BIDDLE
MUST DECIDE IT
Question of Annual Leave
for Per Diem Men.
TREASURY OFFICIALS SHY
Understand that Commissioners Will
Determine Practice and Inter
pref the Law.

After months of delay and INDIGESTION
on the part of the District Commission
ers in dealing with their alleged right
to grant thirty days leave annually with
pay TO the per diem employees Of the
District Government, it is now a GER
| tainty that lit is up TO" the Commits
sioners to say whether the per diem
men shall have the leave for which they
/ have all clamored for the past two
| years.
F., Engineer Commissioner Biddle now
has before him all the papers in the
/ case Of Engineer of Bridges Douglas
who three weeks ago applied for thirty
days leave with pay, in spite OF the fact
that he is a per diem employe- In con-
! sidering whether Mr. Douglas is en-
! titled to the leave. the Commissioner
/ win. it is understood. decide perma-
! nently the right of all employees in that
/ class 10 the annual leave.
Comptroller's Decision.
II was reported at one time that the
! Auditor of the Treasury. to whom the
matter was referred by Colonel Biddle
/ had sent the papers in the case TO the
] Comptroller Of the Treas ury. who would
pass on the knotty problem. This morn
ing. however. the Auditor sent back to
/ the Colonel ell the documents which he
has held for the past three weeks bear
ing on the natter
Although no official announcement can
be obtained Of what the Auditor said In
referring back the papers to their
/ sender it Is generally reported that the
I Engineer Commissioner has been told
: that the question IS one which the Dis
I trlCt Commissioners are better able to
, solve than any official of the Treasury.
Colonel Biddle has taken no action on II
as vet. and il is thought that he Will
consult with MS brother Commission
ers as to what should be done.
Per Diems Hopeful.
The per diem employees at the Districi
Building are hopeful that the Commits
sioners will see the justice Of their
claim that the per diem men ought not
TO be deprived of the thirty days leave
simply because they are on a pay roll
that says they shall be paid by the dag
instead OF by the year.
Their claim is that they in reality do
as much work for the District as the
yearly salaried clerks. and that il IS
! unfair to keep them at their desks all
1 the year round. allowing them certainly
not more than eight or nine days
throughout the year as recreation time
II the Commissioners turn down theiI
! request FOR the leave II is understood
that nothing more viii be done by TIE
