CLERKS MAY QUIT
AN HOUR EARLIER

To begin work an hour earlier and
quit an hour earlier is the latest plan
Tor summer offics hours in the executive
departments.
The plan was suggested by Commander
Edward K. Hayden, OF the Naval OBJ
servatory, who suggested to his depart
ment chief that o'clock be named as
the hour for the morning whistle TO
blow with quitting time fixed at $3.50.
This would give the employees an ad-
dl1onal hour of daylight after they had
finished up the work Of the day and 1t
is believed 1t would be very popular
with them. Assistant Secretary Win
throp is taking the matter under con-
sideration and may adopt the plan.

The Class Struggle.
The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald;
I was struck by the letter from Mr..
P. H. Skinner. which appeared in last
Mondays Herald. His very remark that
he was deeply panied and surprised 20
learn of men OF high standing preaching
the doctrine of class struggle. the ineyi-
table consequence Of which is class con-
sciousness among our working classes.
appears quite humorous. in view Of his
admission that there are classes The
fact that there is a class struggle is rec
ognized. not only by the socialist vision
ary." but by every intelligent man who
uses his powers Of observation and de-
duction
The Socialists have had 10 bear the
brunt of all manner Of charges. ranging
from that OF downright foolishness to a
cunning attack upon the church, the in
stitution OF marriage, and the very founda-
tions OF civilization They are also charg-
ed with arousing the feeling Of class con-
sciousness, as If the Socialists had in
vented. patented, and manufactured n!
However. it is surely not the part Of
wisdom to emulate the example of the
ostrich. which buries its head in the sand
ly adrnI. the existence Of the class strug-
gle. and that when II Is recognized It
results in class consciousness. i.-e.. a
man realizes that he is d member or a
class. that the interests Of his class are
his interests. and that he must make
common cause with all others Of his class
as a matter of self-preservation- Is any
harm done? Should the Socialists be
blamed for the class struggle and its
resultant class consciousness when they
merely defined condition that already
existed2
Many people believe that the working
man is the only one who Is, or who can
be. class conscious. This Is a great mis-
take. The very term, class conscious
ness" implies the existence Of classes
in our national life, and il one Of the
classes is alive to It's wrongs and is striv-
ing to remedy and remove these wrongs.
the other class is equally active in en-
