The Saturday "Half Holiday"

The saturday "daIf Holiday"
To the Editor of The Star:
In Saturdays Star In the article entitled
First Half Holiday OF Year" occurs the
following statement:
Contrary to custom of former years
the half holiday is such in fact. as well
as In name.'
This statement is true In so far as II re-
lates to bureaus that are excused at Il
O'Clock, but II Is not true with regard
to the executive departments that now
get only three-seventlls of holiday. in
stead of half holiday. as In former
years. Saturdays In July, August and
September are counted as four hours II,
estimating leaves, and instead OF two Sat.
urdays counting as one whole days leave
they now count as sig-seventlls OF a day
The present system therefore does not
give the employees Of the executive de.
partments a full hsif-ho1iday.
