Monday night will see full forces en-
ployed in most of the divisions OF the Of
fee, the converting of Congress making
night work a necessity. The number OF
employees required aggregates several
hundred and the 20 per cent additional pay
compensates for many of the objection
able features of the hours Of labor. Many
men who have put in as much as twenty
or more years at night work are always
| glad when the opportunity offers to again
| engage in 1t, and are never content as
day workers. There has always been a
certain feeling Of independence in the oc-
cupation OF the night worker, especially
| in the printing divisions, largely the result
| of the customs of the morning newspaper
men of the old days OF piecework, when
every man was as good as the boss,
which makes the life attractive and ac-
counts for the readiness OF great num-
| Der of the craft to prefer the unusual
and inconvenient hours Of night work to
the regular life Of the people employed
during the day.
