A HOLIDAY SCHEOUALE

The irregular distribution Of
holidays throughout the year has
led a writer in the Survey to
suggest that their changing coin
cidence with the days of the week
often entail hardships on the
workaday world. "For instance.
where holiday falls on Tuesday
or Friday many business concerns
seize the opportunity in dull times
to cut their pay roll by closing
down OIL the Monday pr Jceeding
or Saturday following, thur en-
forcing a two-day holiday with
corresponding loss to the en-
ployee; then again, when such
holidays fall in midweek, the holt
day spirit on the days proceeding
and following seriously interferes
with the efficiency of the worker
and thus involves a hardship on the
employer" The remedy proposed
is the transpostion of most holi-
days to Mondays and their even
distribution throughout the year;
thus Washington day would be
observed on the Monday following
Feb. 22. This order would
secure for our industrial army
two and one-half days respite
form toll, with loss Of only one
days pay, and would insure for the
employer a better weeks product
for five consecutive days labor
after two and one-half days rest. "
