SENATE BODY FAVORS
SHORT POSTAL WEEK
Bill, Already Passed by House,
Would Provide Half Day

The bill to provide a shorter work
week for employees IN the postal service,
which passed the House week ago,
was given favorable report yesterday by
the Senate Post Once Committee, of
which Senator Phipps, Republican. Of
Colorado, Is chairman. The bill would
provide for Saturday half holiday for
postal employees who can be spared on
that day, and four hours of compensa-
tory time on some other day for those
who must work all day Saturday
The passage of this bill would give
additional employment to the force Of
substitute workers in the postal Serv-
ice. The House report on the bill
pointed out that these workers are
subject to call at all hours, but receive
a small income. 1t was pointed out
that the opportunity for more hours
Of labor for each substitute viii in
crease the efficiency Of the substitute
force.
The Post once Department as far
back as 1924 authorized poStmasters
to exercise discretion in giving time OF

Summer months to those who could be
spared, but there was no opportunity
without this legislation to benefit en-
ployes who could not be spared.
