OPPOSES OVERTIME WORK.
Federal Employees Union Insists It
Will Lower Efficiency.

The plan for increased working hours
for government employees is opposed In
resolutions which have been adopted
by Federal Employees Union, No. 1862
They set forth that the experience of
Great Britain and France during the
present war and the economic statistics
OF the United States show that contin-
ued overtime work does not increase
production and does seriously impair
the effectiveness. health and capacity
of the workers.
The resolutions state that "the Pres
ldent be assured that SO far as may be
absolutely necessary during the pres
ent emergency the members of the
Federal Employees Union will cheer
fully render all services within their
power without regard to hours.
In view of the inevitable i'll effects
upon the health and efficiency of the
workers and the detriment to the gov
eminent service which will necessarily
follow excessive overtime work, we ex-
press our belief that the best interests
of the government will be subserved
by rigid adherence to the normal
standard of hours and that such adj
herence Will result in the employees
rendering their very best and most
effective services to the nation IN its
time Of need
