PER DIEM EMPLOYEES
MAY GET HOLIDAYS
District Government Hopes
to Give Leaves to 200
Workers.

In the preparation of their estimates
for the next fiscal year. the Commits
sioners are giving consideration to the
claims of the per diem employees Of the
District government that they be grant
ed an annual leave and pay for legal
holidays
Under the present system the 200 en-
ployes .yhO are on the per diem roll are
not granted either annual or sick leave
and every legal holiday means reduc-
ton in their salaries.
In other words, they are paid only
for their actual services. a state Of
affairs which is considered neither just
nor equitable by the heads of the de-
partments, as many of the per diem
employees are engaged i'm exactly the
same work as those on the annual roll.
While the annual employees are given
thirty days annual leave and thirty
days sick leave and at the same time
the benefit OF all legal holidays. the per
diem men must work continually and
suffer a reduction in pay when the bust
ness of the District government is sus-
pended.
Legislation providing for two and a
half days leave tor each month Of SER
vice during the year, and pay for all
legal holidays for The per diem employees
was introduced at the last session of
Congress. but was not considered until
the close Of the session, and failed OF
pa ssage.
This year. it is understood, the Com
missioners Will exert unusual efforts TO

pi1ation bill similar provision.

ATLANTIC CITY, April 4. 1909.
Palm Sunday in Atlantic City sees
brilliant throng of people coming out of
the Roman, Episcopal and other churches,
some carrying the green palms commem-
Grating the day, and all with the cheer
full aspect that the approaching Easter
time brings.
The return from church is wonderful
sight people strolling leisurely along
the Boardwalk. enjoying the sunlight and
breezes, with the refreshing roll of the
surf in their ears. OF course. if madame
is really churchly she saves her very best
finery for Easter. but there are extenu-
ating circumstances for the appearance
of the Easter hat beforehand. He may
be able to run down from New York or
Philadelphia only on Palm Sunday. and
with that dream of hat right at hand
the girl who can resist looking charming
Palm Sunday is the exception.
Upon the raised esplanade of the Hotel
Dennis and Marlborough Blenheim are
rows of interested guests looking down
on the passing show. and cozily protected
from the breezeS by the quaint inciosed
chairs. which are patterned after those
seen at French watering places. These
chairs quite a study in artful design.
There are some of the wide fiaring ones
at the Marlborough. calculated to dis
play the whole of the handsome toilet
of madame within. and the closer ones
for two at the Dennis. wherein conf
dences of the most charming nature can
be exchanged in safety. There are also
funny little Chinese. pagoda ones where
in one may hide himself away shut
ting out the maddening crowd. and in
Guiding only the restfu line of the ocean
horizon in front of them. They all have
little windows in the sides and many
charming fresh faces in spring creations
look out from them.
At the Traymore are Mr.. and Mrs.
James Gary. Mr. Gary was Postmaster
General under President Cleveland. They
are accompanied by his sister Mrs IL

The hotel busseS are hurrying people
into Atlantic City hotels. and their OPEN

leaders from New York. Philadelphia,

Representative people from cities furt her
