HOURS OF WoMEN's LABOR.
Subject Of Interesting Report Made
at Albany.

ALBANY. N. Y. March 26-In a special
report to Commissioner P. Tecumseh Sher-
man of the state department of labor by
Deputy Factory Inspector Flanagan, just
made public, interesting information Is
given on the subject of the hours of labor
of women in factories. especially In New
York city. The supply of women available
for factory work has for some time past
been far short of the demand. Mr.. Flanagan
says. For this reason employers are more
careful of their help, knowing that they
cannot be replaced If lost.
I'm the majority Of the factories where
females are employed the regular hours are
from fifty-three to fifty-six per week. which
permit them to work overtime from one to
three nights a week for a few hours q
night, without exceeding the Limitation Of
present hours per week imposed by the
labor law" says the report. Although the
impression prevails that employers force
their female employees to work overtime in
order to avoid the necessity Of procuring
additional hands. the facts do not justify
any such impression. l know that many
employers are willing to pay bonuses for
procuring extra female hands
Save under certain exceptional condi-
tons, and especially In the higher grades of
work, an employer operates to his own dis
advantage If he does not conform to the
prevailing hours and wages. Overtime is
costly, because some higher rate of wages
must usually be paid for it, such as time
and-a-half or double-time pay to time work.
ers or 10 per cent additional to piece work.
ers. Consequently articles made when over
time is worked cost more to produce, but
are sold at the same price as articles pro-
duced with regular hours. Therefore manu-
facturers try to avoid overtime or resort to
II as seldom as possible.

work day and punching the overtime in a
few days 10 preferred by employees, and in
my judgment IL preferable to 1engthening
the regular day. It Is, however, unlawful,
but in conformity with your orders / have

governments decision to bring the Sultan

MORE CUSTOMS DEPOSITS
Which Will Add to Money Supply for
April l Settlement.
WILL ANTICIPATE INTEREST
On q and 4 Per Cent Bonds Of
the Loan Of
1907. g

Secretary Cortelyou again went to the re-
lief of the financial situation today, making
two announcements shortly after IL O clock
In the morning. The first was that he
would make additional deposits of customs
receipts in New York banks. under the
Aldrich law, to the extent Of $4,000 600
which will add greatly to the supply of
money for April 1 settlements, and the
second was that he would anticipate inter
est payments on per cent and per cent
bonds Of the loan of 1907.
The announcements We're made in the
face Of the fact that the stock market was
exceedingly strong at the time and had
been strong all the morning.
The rather singular fact that the an
nouncements were made during the sessions
Of the stock exchanges in New York have
not escaped attention, but it is presumed
that the Secretary of the Treasury pre-
ferred doing this at the time to waiting
until after the closing of the market as
there might be another sinking spell of the
sick financial concerns in New York. No
secretary of the Treasury prior to this has
made similar announcements until the close
OF the stock market in the afternoon, there
by escaping the criticism of either aiding
or depressing the market during it's opera
tons. 1t Is understood that Mr.. Cortelyou
considered that prompt action was advsa-
Bile and that nothing could be gained by
delaying until the afternoon.
The announcements today, following that
OF yesterday, in which the Secretary offered
to receive railroad and other bonds as Sc
curity for public deposits in place of the
4 per cent bonds of 1907, provided the per
cents were turned in to the government for
purchase, are expected to rally the weak
enng spirits of the financial chiefs In New
York and elsewhere.

DISMISSED FROM THE SERVICE.
Head Of Brotherhood of Railway Pos
tai Clerks a Victim.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-Hugh c..
Shaugh, the organizer of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Postal Clerks, was dismissed
from the railway mail service yesterday.
Shaugh was employed in the Los Angeles
division and was suspended two weeks age
and ordered to file a written statement CIV
ing reasons why he should not be removed
for encouraging INSTRUMENTATION among the
clerks and with having collected q fund for
the purpose of influencing Congress to raise
the wages of clerks.
ShaugA filed the statement, as requested,
and the answer came in the shape of a re-
moval notice.
1t was explained at the Post Office De-
partment that Shaug has not yet been &C
tually dismissed, but that the papers in
his case are on the way to California, and
will reach there the end of this week.
Meanwhile the superintendent of the divi-
sion, Stevens, has been notified, and as
Shaug is under suspension without pay the
department will not suffer by the delay
The charges on which he was dismissed
from the service were fomenting strife
and discomfort among his fellow clerks
and collecting money to influence legisla-
ton. contrary to the rules of the depart
ment and the order of the President.
There are already two organizations OF
postal clerks in the service. both of which
have the approval Of the department. One
is the National Association Of Railway
Mail Clerks and the other the Mutual Ben
eft Association of Railway Mail Clerks.
The first has annual meetings to discuss
the methods Of the service, make sugges-
tons as to expediting the work and dealing
with the technique Of the service in gem
eral. The other, as it's name implies, is
purely mutual benefit association. Both
are open organizations, and the meetings
of the first are usually attended by one Of
the assistants to the Postmaster General
as a representative OF the department.
Shaug had In mind rather different or

and assessments. to be represented by q
