NAVY YARD CLERK CHARGES
INCONSISTENCY AS TO PAY
Shows What Custom Is Salaries and Leave of Absence
in Other Departments of the Government
Asks for Justice for Men.

Yard receive only fifteen days leave
Of absence a year and can take IL only
when they earn it, at the rate of one
and one-quarter days per month: so
when July comes they have only seven
days leave of absence with pay com
ing to them. while the ether clerks in
the above departments have thirty days
with pay,
Where can the poor Navy Yard clerks
60 on seven days? If he gets sick dur
ing the year his leave is all gone. and
he may loose many more days without
pay. There are some clerks at the
Navy Yard who have lost about thirty
days without pay on account of sick
ness. They don't receive any thirty
days sick weave per year. They are
supposed not to get sick.
Secretary's Reply as to Raise.
If the poor Navy Yard clerks ask for
more wages the Secretary Of the Navy
turns them down, with reason as fol
lows: "On account of strict economy.
The highest pay most OF the per diem
clerks al The navy yards receive Is 500,
and those clerks receiving this pay have
been employed for nearly ten years.
Why don't Congress pass bills. paying
the Navy Yard per diem clerks the
same rate Of pay per diem as is received
by the per annum employees IN the de
partments and also give them thirty
days leave of absence, with pay. in
stead OF a fifteen days leave, letting
them take il whenever they want to-
Printing Office Favored.
The Government Printing Office and
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Office give their per diem employees
thirty days leave per year, Why should
not the clerks Of the Navy Yard per
diem force have II also?
Is this 1usuiCe2 II all the Government
departments IN Washington, and the
Government Printing Onlce, and the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing Of
fiiCe have IL, why should not the Navy

The Navy Yard clerks would like also
to see Congress pass a bill granting
% per cent increase to the Government
employees. including the Navy Yard
clerks. for Il would help them. with the
little salary they receive.
ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE
CLERKS
Washington. D. G., December 9.
The Washington times., 1906-12-22

To the Editor Of The Washington Times,
Having read in the daily papers about
what il cost the Government clerks who
receive 81, 200 per annum to live on, and
what the President is expected TO do by
sending a special bill to Congress to in
crease the pay of Government employees
20 per cent. / thought I would write
you. 50 that you could publish the same,
20 let the other Government clerks. not
employed in tho navy yards at Washing
ton, and for the Information of other read
ers Of your paper know how we poorfel-
lows fare and what We get, and what II
costs us to live. especially in Washing
ton. d. c. We have to pay house rent
buy provisions and support a Wife and
family, including doctors bills, clothing,
etc, on s. per diem and SEAS per diem.
The clerks of the navy yard are mostly
made up of messengers" and clerks,
called in through the Civil Service Com
mission, under civil service rules, in the
same way as the Government clerks en-
ployed in the State, War and Navy
departments and elsewhere and when
they are called in from the eligible list
Of the Civil Service Commission they
arc rerated 10 special labOrers. mes
sengcrs," and special laborers, clerks, "
at s. per diem and S2.4S per diem.
Policy of Other Departments.
Now. il they had been called in by
the State, War. or Navy department
OF other Government places in Wash
ngtOH. they would have received FOR
messengers. 500 70 $50 per annUm. and
for clerks, $3.50 20 $1,000 per annum.
about from S100 to $500 more for mes
sengers. and from about Sl25 to S225
more for clerks.
Is this right? Why should they not
receive the same rate of pay per diem
as is received by the per anuum en-
pIoyes of The state, War, ana Navy
departments, etC2
Again. the per annum employees Of the
State. War. and Navy departments, as
well as the per diem employees employed
in the above departments, receive a
thirty days leave of absence a year.
and a thirty days sick leave a year.
and can take the whole thirty days
leave Of absence whenever they desire
during the year.
