Employees Earned Vacations
Last Year Expecting to Get
Them Now, Carter Says.
FIVE-DAY WEEK PLAN
is PUT INTO EFFECT
Change in Time OFF for Illness for
Certain Agencies Doubted Be-
cause of Acts Wording.

George H Carter, public printer, has
asked Controller General McCarl to
rule on the status Of Government
Printing Office employees who are en-
titled to leave accumulated last year,
but presumably cannot now take it by
reason of the new economy law.
Mr. Carter made known his action
today, at the same time announcing
that the Printing Office had gone on
the five-day week, a move that had
not been contemplated until Congress
adjourned, but which it had been found
possible to put into effect earlier.
The Printing Office workers are doomed
by law to have a vested right in their
leave. They earn 1t one year and take
it the next, and where death or sepa-
ration from the service bars their get
ting the leave they get cash allow
ance.
Held Entitled to Leave.
Because Of this situation, Carter
contends they are entitled to the leave
already earned and for that reason
the controller general has been asked
for a decision. The public printer be-
Iieves they may not be able to take
it this year. under the new law, but
that subsequently they are entitled to
be recompensed.
The fact a holiday came at the past
week end gave the Printing Office the
opportunity to inaugurate the hve-day
week. Carter said. He added that while,
If Congress does not adjourn. 1t may
become necessary to keep some OF ms
force on duty this Saturday. 1t will be
made up the following week. When
Congress leaves, the Printing Office viii
20 on the short week, everybody taking
Saturday of but the few guards and
maintenance employees who Of necessity
must stay on duty.
Doubts Sick Leave Change.
Carter also expressed doubt today
that the Printing Office and those other
Government establishments whose
workers did not get sick leave under
former law, will have this allowance
under the economy bill, which, in some
quarters it was thought would confer 1t.
b. reason of the provisions authorizing
the President to formulate uniform sick-
lee regulations.
Fointing out that this uniformity is
to be established within the limits now
Authorized by law" Mr.. Carter said 1t
appeared as though tl.is was intended
only to cover the offices getting sick
leave. In addition to the Printing Ofhce,
those agencies which In the past have
had no sick leave are the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, Navy Yard and
Arsenal.
Regulations in prospect from the
office of the controller general before
the end Of the present week, are ex-
pected to clear up, in general, the whole
subject of the payless-furlough plan,
and end the uncertainty that has ex-
listed in the Government establishments
as to the way it is to be administered.
