law, as it is about to become, adding
an hour to the clerks working day,
can surely be ignored if in the judg-
ment of the responsible heads Of the
government departments its enforce
ment will initiate against efficiency.
Opposed to the eight-hour provision
carried by this bill is now arrayed the
solid body Of workingmen. 1t is recog-
nized that the government has taken
retrograde step in thus extending
the period Of labor without any com.
pensation. Pleas for veto Of the bill
are heard, but it is hard to see how
this can be done in view of the late
ness of the hour in the fiscal year and
the purpose Of Congress to recess next
week for a considerable period.
1t is to be hoped that the govern.
ment clerks will accept the burden that
has been unjustly laid upon them and
proceed with the faithful discharge of
their duties, however they may be ag-
grieyed and convinced of the injustice
Of the act. They are enlisted in the
governments work. This is war time
and their services are necessary for the
successful accomplishment Of the ma
tional aims. The loyal rendering OF
service now will not work to their dis
advantage. They have been imposed
upon, their claims for equitable treat
ment have been denied, but they, as
soldiers in the ranks of the great
American Army, must obey orders.
Justice will be done them eventually,
perhaps very soon, and meanwhile they
should do their utmost for the govern
,nent despite the unfairness Of this &C.
ton taken by one branch of it.
