To che Editor q The Washington Tines
Please believe your efforts TO obtain

clerks are fully appreciated In spite
Of the sentiment expressed in the noe
signed Common Sense II is none the
less a fact that forcing the clerks to
work longer hours with the same pay
is nothing more OF less than robbery.
They are engaged TO work a certain
length Of time for a certain amount Of
money and have a perfect right TO ex-
peCt the contract viii be carried out.
II the employees attempted 10 cut OF a
half hour, there would be no end to the
COmmOuO0 over such dishonesty. but
when those in authority want either -
show that authority a little more fOrci-
bly, than usual, OF 10 economic in some
place for the purpose OF having more
money for their pet schemes, which viii

more than any one else. then they Sc
lect the class that IS in their power. and
show their ideas OF honesty. and honor
ana fair dealing by trying TO rob the
clerks OF what any falr-rnin6ed person
must see is morally and legally their
own
Il has been said that time Is money!
the manner proposed Is not mere Uyrliu-

Would the lawma kers approve Of such
