GRANTED
PER DIEM EMPLOYEES
Thirty Workers on District
Payroll to Be Given
Months Leave.

After being deprived OF their annual
leave for two years thirty per diem
employees Of the District government
this year vii be given thirty DAYS
leave Of absence with pay, in accord
ance with a ruling Of Auditor Tweed
ale.
The per diem employees were deprived
OF their annual leave in 1853 under an
act OF March ,, 1915, which provides that
such employees except those ''specihcal-
Iy appropriated for by Congress for
clerical and other personal services for
each fiscal year, should be paid only for
services actually rendered" As a re-
suit these employees not only have been
given no annual leave. but have received
no pay Tor legal holidays
Il is now held that they have been
continuously employed and are specifi-
calIy provided for by the appropriations
acts. and therefore are entitled TO leave
The question as 10 the right Of per
diem employees to leave OF absence arose
in connection with the application OF
DR.. Z. Z. Harrington, a medical inspec-
tor in the Health Department for four
days leave with pay. Auditor Tweedale
holds that DR.. Harrington is entitled 10
his vacation under the law Of aMrch
,, 1895.
According to officials Of the Auditor S
Office there are not more than thirty
per diem employees Of the Distr'ei gov
ernment who are entitled TO leave under
this act, which does not include the
temporary employees of the Engineer
Department.
In accordance with a recommendation
OF Auditor Tweed2le, the per diem en-
ployes are directed by the Commits
sioners e submit applications for leaves
of absence TO a committee consisting Of
AlonzO Tweedale. auditor; Daniel r.
Garges, Chief Clerk Of the Engineer De-
partment. and Dr. William Tindau, sec
retary to the Board Of Commissioners.
While the auditor has not officially
ruled on the question, It is understood
| that the granting Of leaves Of absence
/ 10 per diem employees will carry with IL
! their restoration of pay for legal hOli-
DAYS.

SOCIAL T MEETING.

John H. Goebel. the Socialist speak.
er. residingi II the East, again spoke
10 rather large audience last even
ing in the county court room Of the
Court House. bringing TO close his
engagement in this city. Before his
return home he will speak In other
cities in West Virginia.
Mr.. Goebel spoke for more than
two hours and Ills address was we'll
received. II was expected that there
would be debate between him and a
prominent local attorney on the So.
clalist questions. but 1t Tailed to ma.
terialize. 1t is understood that Mr..
Goebel challenged the lawyer for a
debate after they had brief discus.
sion on the street, caused by the at.
torney criticisiEg the speaker who
was In hearing distance. according to
the statement made by Mr.. Goebel last
night. and who further said that the
man was In his audience but that he
did not wish TO debate with him.
After finishing his address the
speaker read a number OF questions.
probably half dozen. written out ana
handed to him during the evening.
He took up each one separately and
answered them, all OF which asked
what the Socialists would likely do
with the standing army and navy,
how the party would take charge OF
the railroads and other enterprises
and conduct them II they got in power
and other similar questions along
these lines. His answers brought
forth much applause and the audi
ence seemed to be with him in his
views expressed.
Mr.. Goebel said that there would be
a number OF prominent national So
clalist speakers to address meetings
in Fairmont during the next few
months.
