Action Taken Subsequently.

This law was approved March 3. 1898
Previous to that time, it had been the
custom to work the clerks from to 3
o'clock. This brought the hours up to
to O'Clock. The next move, making
the hours from until 4 80 o'clock was
by executive order
1t was pointed out today that if it was
considered necessary to still further in
crease the hours, an executive order
could be issued
The law specifically prohibits pay for
overtime work If there is to be a reeu-
lar eight-hour day. senator's are inclined
