FOR EXTRA MONEY
Department Employees Are
After Overtime Pay.
HAVE WORKED HOLIDAYS
Matter Rests Upon Special Orders, and
Comptroller Tracewell May Be Ask
ed to Give an Opinion.

Aroused by the Cabinets action in
forcing them to work an extra half hour
daily. some of the department employees
are seriously talking of putting in
claims for pay for overtime for the
work required Saturday afternoons. be-
fore the orders Of last Monday went
into effect
The claims. if made, will be based on
the opinion the Attorney General gave
to Secretary Root, August 10 of last
year. In that opinion, it was held Sat
urday afternoon was a half holiday
throughout the District, but that by a
special order stating the reasons there
for the head of department could re-
quire his subordinates to work after y
o'clock
Secretary Roots Order.
The view taken was that while there
was no requirement. in the Law that
department employees should work seven
hours on legal holidays yet there was
no prohibition in the code of the District
against work on those days. and IL
could be required If necessary.
Acting on this opinion. Secretary Root
issued a special order requiring the en-
ployes in the War Department to work
Saturday afternoons. This order was
maintained that in the absence Of q
special order. Government employees not
in the War Department were entitled 70
Saturday afternoons off, and II they
worked without orders they can recover
pay
Questions Raised.

Comptroller Of the Treasury to decide
He has never passed on It. 1t is said
the time slips preserved in the depart
ments would be sufficient evidence as e
the hours. Under the orders that were
given out in each department last Mon
day. no claim for pay for overtime Sat
urday afternoons can be made. as they
meet the special order requirement

net. I'm order TO ascertain the sentiment
