JOKER IN HALF.HOLIDAY LAW.
Government Employees Want to
Know What Provision Means.

Government employees stationed in the
District of Columbia are by law entitled
to half-holiday on Saturday through
out the year. instead of during the sum-
mer months only. Although there Is a
Joker" in the code which gives the
heads of the various departments au-
thority to requirt the men to work on
these holidays provided the reasons for
such work are stated. no such statements
are ever made as to why the govern
ment employees here are required to work
on Saturday afternoons during nine
months of the year.
This situation is presented in the May
number of the Home Club Bulletin, the
official organ of the employees of the In
terror Department. 1t is brought out in
letter to the editor. asking why this
discrepancy In carrying out the law Is
permitted. The letter points out that the
law Is strictly observed In the District
courts.
The editor explains that "the construc-
ton OF the statute by the Department
Of Justice Is that an executive officer
may require his employees to work dur
ing holidays by special order stating his
reasons. BY analogy one would infer
that II would not require an order not
to work. Has an order to work during
any legal holiday ever been promul-
gated?"

TELLS CIVIC SOCIETY
NOT To THROW MUD
E. F. CulIoday Urges Chevy Chase to
Give Serious Heed to Fiscal
Relations Problem.

"This is no time for mud singing or
for applvipg opprobrious epithets t"
either members OF Congress or citi-
zans. even though they hold opinions
different from our own. This is
time for serious study in order that
real constructive work be done to as
sist the joint select committee OF Con-
rrcss in solving the problem before 1t.
This was the admonition given the
Chey.- Chase Citizens Association at
n meeting in Chevy Chase hall last
night by T. +. Colladay. president or
tho Federation of Citizens Assocla-
tions. in delivering an address on the
Fiscal Relations Between the District
and Federal Governments. MIR. Cola
day declared he was speaking solely in
his capacity as a member of the Chevy
Chase association. Mr.. Colladay said:
THE Chevy Chase Association and
other citizens associations through the
federation are represented by flve dele
gates from the federation on the joint
citizens committee now gathering data
These Ave delegates have made II
known to the joint citizens committee
that they are subject to instructions
by the federation and that the fedora
ton is subject to instructions from its
twenty-four member citizen associa-
tons.
THE five federation delegates are par
ticipating in the work of the joint citi-
zens' committee and the citizen associa-
tions are contributing money with the
understanding that they are not COM
mited to any conclusions concerning the
fiscal relations OF the District and Fed
cral governments prior to the complete
assembiage of the data on the subject.
This has been indicated in resolu-
ton passed by the Chevy Chase associa-
ton a month ago. approving the action
of the federation in appointing the five
delegates and commencing the attitude
Of the District Commissioners In declin-
data is completely assembled. Similar
resolutions have been passed by many
other associations The executive COM
mittee of the joint citizens committee
has requested that such resolutions be
adopted by all associations in the fedora
tion."
Mr.. Colladay's address was the first
authoritative statement Of the status of
the citizens association that has been
made publicly. It was stated. and his
words were taken to mean that the citi-
Gems want it known that they are gather
Ing data on which to form an opinion
instead OF gathering data to bolster an
opinion already formed.
Before his definition Of the status of
The citizens association. Mr.. Colladay re-
viewed the history of the District of CO.
umbia from the days Of Washington,
Jefferson and L'Enfant down to the
present time.
