President Gets Protest OF
Interior Department En-
pIOyes' Federation.

President Hoover had before him
for consideration today a resolution of
protest from the Interior Department
branch of the National Federation of
Federal Employees against the proposed
five-day week In the Government de-
partments.
The resolution, adopted at a meeting
yesterday in the Interior Department
auditorium, urged the President to au-
thorize the use of the 24-day compul-
sory payless furlough in long or short
periods.
II the furlough is taken on the basis
of one-half day each week, the resolu-
ton pointed out. any continuous vaca-
ton period would be eliminated. thus
inflicting much hardship on Federal
employees by preventing them from tax
ing leave in an emergency.
Such plan." the resolution declar-
ed, would be detrimental to the well
fare of the Federal employees, and also,
we believe, to the Government service
Therefore, we request the President to
authorize the use Of the furlough so
that Federal employees may take the "a
days furloush without pay in long or
short periods, with the usual qualifica-

the affiliation with the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor. Similar action was
recently taken by the Labor Depart
ment and the Civil Service Commission
branches of the Federal Employees
Union.
