head OF MS department, as that estao-

matter is promised for the near future.
According TO the rule as now applied,
the clerks are in reality receiving more
than the annual leave OF thirty days
with nav. the Saturday half-nolidays
being considered in one sense of the
word as a bonus.
The question is thought TO have arisen
particularly at the big prtntery, because
many Of the employees are on the per

the question of pay for the half-holidays
must be viewed from somewhat dif-
ferent standpoint.
