the balance of their May salaries next

All efforts to have uniformity of
action seem to have failed, just as
they did in making the May mid

The departments in which payments
will be made next Saturday are COM

The disbursing officer of the Depart
ment of Justice has asked the Attor-
ney General as to his authority to
pay the employees next Saturday.
Disbursing officers of the Treas
ury and War Departments will
not pay off until next Tuesday, and it
is understood that similar course
will be followed in all the depart
ments not already named.
Payments are supposed to be made
under an order issued by the Treasury
Department several years ago, fixing
the dates of payment as the 18th and
31st of each month, and on the days
following when the regular pay days
fall on Sunday or a holiday.
