A Stingy Proposition.

As far as IL has gone the suggestion for
the extension of the hours of the govern
ment clerk is not coupled with any propo-
sition to grant him an increase in pay.
Apparently IL Is the expectation OF those
who are proposing this measure OF So
called economy to require the clerk TO
work half an hour day longer for the
same compensation. an extension or MS
working time, or nearly seven per cent
more labor. for the same money. This Is
the basis Of the last previous extension
Of the working hours of the department
clerk. when thirty minutes was added to
the day without any increase in sa airy.
In short the disposition prevails. it would
seem, to regard the pay scale OF the
departments as something fixed beyond
the possibility of, amendment and the
working day as something elastic without
limit.
1t is to be horne in mind that the
present salary scale in the government
departments was established over gem
eratinn ago. no changes whatever having
leen made in over thirty years There
lave been numerous additions to the list
cf ;ti.Eer salaried officers. but the pay of
the lody of the workers remains pre-
cisel- where it stood when the scale
was rsadiusted following the civil war.
Meanwhile the working day has been ex-
tended not only once, but in some cases
three times.
The government clerk is in a class by
himself in this country. the only worker
whose hours have been extended system
aticaiIy without any increase in COM
pcnsation. In every line of industry and
