Uncle Sam That Good
to His Hired
Help

WASHINGTON, July 1910 his
hired help Uncle Sam is generous to a
degree, going down into his wallet &c
the extent of something like $4,000. ooC
annually to give them a 30-day out
ing at the seashore or in the noun
tains.
RMS sum Is for the army of EN-
ployss In Washington alone and docs
not include the thousands of others
who are on duty and on the payrolls
throughout his vast domain and in for
eign countries. Liberal lawmakers de-
cided that 10 months each year was
long enough for employees 10 work and
that 80 days should be allowed for
sickness and 80 days for annual leave.
AT first this law was for the officials
and clerks only, and did not incIude
printers, pressmen and navy ward
workmen. Eventually these were CIV
en- 10 days annual leave, and finally.
through hard and persistent efforts. the
full 30 days. No sick leave, however.
has ever been granted them. and
strange as 1t may appear they seem
to be the healthiest class of govern
ment workers. The government print
ing office, the bureau of engraving and
printing and the navy yard are not
classed as hospitals for invalids," as
the treasury and other departments are
termed. Not getting paid for being
sick, those not entitled to such leave
manage to remain In extraordinarily
good health and perform their duties
with great regularity. The employees
who are not entitled to sick leave must
have something worse than a rocky
head and drawing blanks" to cause
them to remain from duty. In the gov
eminent printing Office, where there
are about 1000 men and women en-
ployed, there are only occasional in
stances on account of sickness, while
n the treasury department, with about
he same number Of employees, the sick
LIST each day is simply amazing. The
same is true of other departments in
which the employees are entitled to sick
cave.

Murphy's business was to fire loco

] was not always that he could drop on
to job, as he was a hard man to get
along with, and nearly all railroad men
knew it.
! He could fle an engine, however, to

when to pile her full and when to rake
her out, He weighed each scoop OF
coal in his mind. and appeared to
/ know Just how far the old thing could
go on each shovelfui.
nl-luck had apparently followed him
! across the continent, for it mattered
not where he went to Work, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, he would wind
up in an accident. He had, so far, es-
capped the slightest injury in the almost
numberless wrecks that he had been
in.
Dropping in to division headquarters
one day, while men were scarce, he

following he was called to fire an extra
freight east.
Climbing into the cab he looked the
engine over carefully, and patting
gently the great huge monster he was
heard to remark: well, 1 wonder If
this will be my last trip"
Twenty miles from the division they
met an on-coming train, rushing mad
ly onward, with on guiding hand to
stay its wild course. 1t was but an in
slant Until two mighty and powerful
forces met. No time to think, no time
say word. A crash and all was over.
Murphy had taken his last trip and re-
ported to the Great Division superin-
tendent.
A few days latter. the section crew
found the body of the engineer, but all
that was discovered of Murphy was
his right arm. Six months later the
river gave up his body. where it had
been hurled by the force Of the explo-
sion.

Privilege Abused.

So badly abused has been the sick
leave privilege that at the last session
or congress what appeared to be a de-
termined effort was made to repeal the
law, but the matter was permitted to
go over, giving the Keep commission
and other reformers an opportunitv to
make further investigation and secure
facts and figures. If one is to Judge
by the policy of retrenchment and re-
form so strenuously carried out hy the
present administration it is entirely
safe to assert that sick leave win not
be one Of the pickups now enjoyed by
government workers after the next
session of congress.
There are'in washington about a
600 employees of Uncle Sam. The SAL
airy and wages paid will average 81. 200
each, male and female. This gives to
each Individual employee 500 leave
money, and is ready on call for officials
and clerks any time during the calen-
dar year, but employees of the class
stated are not entitled to leave until
the beginning of the fiscal year
July 1.
Unquestionably the United States
government spends more money for
summer outings than does any govern
ment in the world, but a study of the
outing habit. so far as it relates to the
government employees in Washington.
reveals the fact that in seven cases out
of 10 the pleasure and rest seekers are
not to be congratulated on the liberar-
ty of the government. AS an IMPROVE
dent class, many Of these employees
take first rank. Payday comes often |
and with unfailing regularity. The |
money, in most cases, is easily earned. |
With the belief that their positions are
secure for life, the men and women, in |
many cases, make no provisions for a
rainy day and live up to their salaries
and often beyond. The half month or
full months pay for annual leave Is
always consumed before the leave ex-
pires, and 1t is a long time after re-
turning to duty before the paymaster
again makes his rounds.
