CLERKS AFRAID TO
VOICE OBJECTION
Government EmpIoye Tells OF
UnpopuIarity Of Eight-Hour
Amendment.
WHAT EXTRA HOUR MEANS

"Representatiye Borlands eight-hour
minimum day is not popular in the De-
partment of Agriculture" said one Of the
clerks to The Star reporter today. but we
don't dare express the reasons freely, be-
cause we fear the loss of our positions Will
be the consequence.
"The citizens of the District may crate
to their hearts content when they are
being unjustly ridden by Congress, where
they have no representation, but the gov
ernment clerk has got to take his medl-
cine, no matter how bitter it may be. In
deed. when officials are around we even
have to look pleasant" he continued.
During Col Roosevelts administration
an extra half hour was added to the gov
ernment clerks working time. Then What
happened? The street railroads had 10
change their schedules, the stores had to De
kept open longer, if clerk was to be al
lowed to buy anything. and we an nag
more or less trouble in our homes with
cooks and servants, whose hours had 10
be heightened accordingly. 1t meant IN
many instances extra compensation 10
these people, and even then We had trou-
BILE.
What Another Hour Means.
ITO add another hour now means in
finitely more The street railroads have
il we get home at all. What is 1t going
TO be when the whole scheme is deranged
by another hour of service to the gov
ernment's work force? 1t is exceedingly
difficult now to get help in the home at all.
The demand for servants and laundresses
has increased SO greatly that we have had
to almost double their wages and submit
to exactions in the form of days of and
evenings off until home conditions are be-
coming more less intolerable.
IF we must work another hour, our
servants must come at least half hour
earlier in the morning and remain
half hour later in the evening. This
they positively refuse to do. Indeed,
some of them set their time for report
ing in the morning at O'Clock. and in
bad weather many do not show up un-
til 9. if at all. New fields have opened
to them and scores of them are making
wages they never dreamed of before
in government positions, especially in
the bureau of engraving and printing.
This is a serious proposition to a
man who has any regard at all for his
wife. who has to step in and take the
servants place.

Facts Mr.. Borland Should Know

Now as to that Oregon paper quoted
by Mr.. Borland. If he is not disingenu-
GUS, he is as badly Informed of the facts
as its spread-eagle editor. Does he
ever drop into a government office and
see the rank and file at work? 1t is the
rank and file that his bill affects. Does
he know that every hour of that eener
Gus sick leave that frets him is de-
quoted from the thirty days annual
leave when it exceeds a given point.
usually fifteen days? Does he know
that a frequent indulgence in sick
leave means loss of promotion and
often loss of position?
There may have been a time when a
government job was government
snap. But Mr.. Borland was not a lep
1slator then Even the fat salaries.
have dwindled into "pittances" before
the mounting cost of the necesaries Of
life. and the delightful perquisites, en-
joyed by the government clerk have
faded beyond recognition in this neck
Of the woods, unles the clerk is the
protege of some one with a pull. like
Mr.. Borland and his fellow representa-
tives in Congress
Men and women of the highest grade
of intelligence and technical skill and
many who would adorn the professions
are to be found in the ranks of the
despised government clerks If Mr.
Borland would only believe they are
human like himself he might be made
to change his mind
Evening star., 1918-02-21
Conditions Tax on Imagination.

''The car conditions are tax on the
imagination. Even though Mr.. Borland
may think some of US lead loaferlike
existence there are precious few of US
who are blessed with automobiles, like
Mr. Borland is. and some of US live SO
far ont of town that walking is we'll
nigh Impossible. If we must come to
ing and remain half hour later in the
evening, either the stores must open
and close to meet the changed condi-
tion and their employees be forced to
work longer hours. or we must go with
out the opportunity to buy the neces-
saries of life.
Matters like these do not affect
small towns and rural communities
such as Mr.. Borland represents at home,
but in the capital of the United States
they are vital factors of economic life.
There is another point which per-
haps has escaped Mr.. Borland's atten-
needs all the available clerical help it
can get. Does he expect to attract ap-
pllcapts in this way? Is he not likely
rather to drive out of government serv-
Ice clerks who are needed by imposing
hardships of this kind? 1t should be
remembered that his bill prescribes a
minimum day. Under present law we
are often made to work MANY hours
overtime to tide over an emergency. No
allowance, apparently. is made for that.
nor will it be made even if his bill be-
comes law.
surely there is some consideration
in the hearts of congressman for hu-
man beings less fortunate than they
are Only brutal autocrat would i'm
pose hardships merely because he has
the authority.
