HOUSE TURNS
DOWNBORLAND
S-HOUR BILL
Measure to Increase Work
ing Time Of Employed
Defeated.

Government clerks found a cham
pion in Representative Austin. Of
Tennessee. yesterday when he bitterly
took issue with remarks made by
Representative Boriand. who again
sought passage of his resolution
seeking to require an elght-hour day
instead Of seven for government en-
ployes.
When It came to vote, the House
rejected Representative Borland's
amendment to the Indian appropria-
tiOn bill proving the eight-hour day.
Explaining that he had once been a
government clerk himself. Represen-
tative Austin declared Congress is
not fair to the District of Columbia." ="
He expressed disapproval of Rep
resentative Borland's tactics in try
ing to secure the passage Of his meas
ure.
Representative Borlapd contended-
basing his argument primarily against
the Interior Department-that the De-
partments of Commerce and of Labor
also had employees working but seven
hours a day, who have not been
asked to sacrifice one hour of their
time to help win the war. when all
the rest of the country is making ex-
treme sacrifices.
In answer to this, Representative
Austin replied that he had found that
the clerks in government departments
are helping to do their bit to help win
the war, and he resented making
them the object of attack in a partisan
attempt to uphold "a weak and vaci-
lating administration which has fall
ed to redeem its pledges to econ
omy."
