NO HALF DAYSOFF
IF CHIEF DECREE
Department Of Justice Refers
to Ruling Of McReynolds
tin-l903.
MUST STATE, THE REASON
If Work Requires Il. Government
Employees Must Work Extra on
Saturdays in Summer.
MUST STATE, The REASON

The head Of a government department
has the legal right to work his force Of
clerks during Saturday. afternoons in the
summer months. according to an opin-
lion kiyen by, Attorney General McRey-
nolds. at the time he. was acting Attor-
ney General In 1913.
Since the publication of a recent story,
outlining the statement OF the Civil serv-
ice Commission that the half holiday
would apply in government departments,
on Saturday. during July. August. and
September. unless the amount Of work
on hand prevented, The Herald has re-
cetyed numerous queries from sub
scribers asking about the legality Of the
Saturday half holiday.
Refers to Opinion.
The Herald asked the Department OF
Justice yesterday for an answer and was
referred to the opinion OF Mr.. McRey-
nolds. given April Is, 1903. at which time
the matter had been given to the Depart
ment OF Justice for a ruling.
In his opinion. the Attorney General
reviewed the laws OF the United States
covering the point at issue. The only
law governing the working hours Of gov
eminent clerks, prior TO the adoption of
the Revised Statutes, was a law passed
July 4. 1896. which. however. failed to
provide Saturday a half holiday.
The Revised Statutes of 1872 specified.
according to the opinion. that govern
ment clerks would be required to work
ten hours each day. except Sundays and
days declared public holidays by law"
At this time. heads Of departments had
no right to force their clerks to work
beyond the office hour limit prescribed
by law. but with the passage OF the act
Of June 20. 1874. department heads were
given this right to extend the time of
service to he rendered by employees. even
on legal end Saturday half holidays.
Subsequent acts Of March 3. 1885 and
March Is. 1895, slightly amplifed this pro-
viso In the law relating to legal holidays.
but did not change 1t. according to the
Attorney General.
May Issue Order.
In summing up his opinion. the Attur.
ney General says:
CAS- the law stands. Saturday is a half
holiday, but the heads OF all departments
have the right to require work on holi-
days by the issuing of an order. stating
the reason therefore"
This construction of the law Ii gener-
ally held rs the most proper one. by guv-
eminent officials who. however, have no
Intention OF denying the Saturday half
holiday to clerks unless the amount OF
business on hand makes this denial abb
soiutely ecessary.
