ION its face the matter may seem I'M
important" said a man today who Is
acquainted with a number Of the per
diem workers, but having y accualnt-
9nce with many Of these women, L may
say that the matter is somewhat seri-
Gus from their standpoint. Every DOR
lar means something TO them Prac-
Ucally the entire force is made up Of
women, widows who are supporting
children. or daughters who are support
ing parents. At best they can draw
only So per month. They have no fur
loughs, no sick leave, no holidays.
Every minute lost comes out or their
pockets.
Cant Get Classified"
''I know one widow on this roll VINO
has a houseful of children, none more
than twelve years OF age. Another
daughter is supporting an invalid
mother. Another widow is endeavorlng
to clothe and educate a twelve year-old
son, lives In a fiat and does her own
work. In fact, there are numbers Of
cases similar to these, for nearly all
of the per diem workers are working
from necessity, and not from choice.
II is unfortunate thai their repeated eff
forts to get on the classified lists have
been unsuccessful, just why l 10 not
know, but at any rate they remain UNI
classified. and many Of them work
side by side with classified clerks who
get $1,20O and more a year. with sick
leave. while tho per diems do the same
work for s. per, and no trimmings.

PER DIEM CLERKS
FEAR MAYS STING
Land Office Force Worry
ing About the Extra
Clerk.
How Much Will They Be
"Docked" in Month
of May?

The upheavaI among the per diem
workers at the Land Office, on account OF
the fact that an apprOpriatin which
provides for only thirty workers at
$500 per day, has been stretched 10
cover \tbirty-one workers, necessitatmg
a monthly docking" as published eX-
clusively in The Times recently, has
caused various coniectures as to what
will be the state Of affairs at the end
Of May.
The extra clerk who was put on April
/. and is regarded as the casus bclli,
is still on the rolls. and when ques-
toned this morning those in authority
impaired the information that the roll
would remain Just as il now Is, Tor the
present at least. The appropriation
which provides for only thirty clerks
for twenty-six working days, or $Lo6O
per month, viii be especially inadequate
for May. as this amount must be d.
vided among thirty-One clerks, and for
twenty-seven working days. On ac-
count Of the alleged padding" Of the
rolls, each OF the clerks was locked
500 ard forced 10 lose a half day $
time in order to even up matters. for
April, a short month.
Resignation Threatened.
Those who are acquainted with some
OF the per diems." as they are called
inferred from the strenuous kick made
by some that at least part Of the force
might resign If the docking was to
continue from month to month.
Asked about this contingency today,
one of the officials at the Land Ofhc5
disciaimed any knowledge of any oO-
lection on the part of the per diem
workers TO the way IN which they were
being paid. but said II such dissatsfac-
ton existed and there were those VINO
desired 10 leave the roll. the department
could not Of course. prevent them. II
WAS said that the amount Of docking
necessary at the end OF the month
would depend, of course, upon the
omount OF time used by absCnJees on
sick leave during the month. Every
day lost by a per diem reduces the
Ceficit Nay 81. II the full force works
the entire month. the appropriation Will
be insufficient.
