already overworked and underpaid gov

"Our union stands for workday of not
more than seven hours, and we are en-

approving the reduction of hours OF
labor In keeping with the increased pro-

to lead In. showing the way to private
employers. instead of retrograding. Gov
eminent workers now frequently work
much more than seven hours. and the
heads Of departments have the absolute
discretion to increase the hours OF labor
whenever 1t Is necessary. Furthermore
government workers have had no In
creases In wages since 1856.
