D. C. and Maryland Cannot Act
Now. Says Mr.. Hendrick.

In view Of the many differences in
the automobile laws of Maryland and
the District, it would be impractical
10 adopt a joint motor tag at this
time. in the opinion of Commissioner
j. Thilman Hendrick.
Mr.. Hendrick made this statement
today. following a conference yester-
day afternoon with Automobile Com
missioner Baughman Of Maryland.
While we are both favorable to
The idea of a joint tag bearing one
plumber" said Commits sioner Hendrick.
there are number of differences in
the law here and in Maryland whic ch
would lead to numerous difficulties
and would make necessary a vast
amount OF work to maintain the joint
tag system"
The Commissioner pointed out that
the prices Of tags are different In Mary
land and the District. He also called
attention to the title law for auto
mobiles in Maryland. which does not
exist In the District.
1t may be that joint tag agree

HALF HOLIDAY YEAR
ROUND TOBE URGED
Federal Employees Union
Will Renew Fight Before Ex-
pected Extra Session.

Saturday half holiday for govern
ment clerks all the year round is the
desire of officials of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees. who
have reserved the fight for this meas
ure until the expected extra session OF
Congress, when the republican admin
istration takes office.
There would be no use in pushing
desired legislation for the all-the-
year-around Saturday half holiday at
the coming short session of Congress.
in the opinion Of officials of the feder-
alton. This reform must be left to a
later date, it is urged. but not later
thar the spring session.
Once Started Under Way.
It was recalled here today, on the
occasion Of the Thanksgiving holiday,
participated in by the government
employees, who are enjoying a full
holiday today. that the agitation for
round seemed to be getting fully un-
der way in the fall of 1919. when

The President, it is understood. de-
sized 10 put the snpatter before his cabi-
net be3oFe giving II further sconsfdera-
ton. The question would then have
been taken up by the members OF the
cabinet had not the illness Of Mr.. VIII
son tcai1se1 q BfkuSkt0A IN which :. the
whole matter OF Saturday half holidays
was more or less forgotten.
Desffe Among OAcials.
That there is sincere desire among
high officials. therefore, to consider
the matter thoroughly cannot be
doubted, it is. held. This interest, il is
believed, will still prevail after the
change Of administration, although
there will be new president and q
new cabinet.
Looking forward to that time, the
organized employees of the govern
ment are carefully considering what
may be done legitimately by them to
further the proposition of the year
around Saturday half holiday.
There is no questioning the fact that
the Saturday half holiday given the
clerks here every summer by execu-
tive order is immensely popular, and
II Is regarded as q very benehctai
measure from any standpoint.
The proponents of the year-arouno
legislation declare that the extension
of the order for all the weeks of the
wear. would merely extend the bene-
fits and rebound to the well being OF
department work and clerks alike.
