PRINTERS LEAVE CHANGED.
Time of G. o. P. Employees Deducted
in Multiples of Two Hours.

The public printer has put into effect
new manner of handling fractional
parts OF a days absence from duty In the
government printing Office which will be
much appreciated by the employees. Tn
der the former system II an employe lost
fraction of a day the amount repre-
scented In money was deducted from his
pay. Under Mr.. Leach's new plan the
time lost by an employe in multipleS OF
two hours is deducted from his annual
leave. This places the workers on the
same basis as many departmental clerks
whose loss of a fraction of a day Is
charged to the leave account.
The order provides that lost time in
excess of two hours to a maximum of
three days will be deducted from annual
leave without the customary official per-
init, but for periods in excess of three
days leave of absence permit will be
required. as heretofore. Ordinary cases
OF hardness. however. will not participate
in the new ruling.
The new departure is considered of
great value by workers In the big print
cry, as thousands of dollars have been
lost in wages each year in the little bust
ness Trips DOWNTOWN necessitated by
many of the workers. Individually the
amount Is small. yet with over 1000 en-
ployes the total for the year is said to
be heavy. Some time ago the experiment
was made of charging half-hour periods
to the leave account. but the additional
clerical work on the many small ac-
counts rendered it advisable to abolish
the practice.
