EMPLOYEES LEADER
AGAINST NEW BILL
Miss Gertrude McNaIIy Says
Proposals Win injure Eff
cheney of Workers.

Vigorous opposition to the two sec
tions affecting Federal employees in the
agricultural appropriation bill, now be-
fore the House, was registered today by
Miss Gertrude McNally. secretary-treas-
urer of the National Federation OF Ped
eral Employees. She declared that If this
legislation is passed administrative ofn-
GERS will be handicapped in not being
able to get the work done efficiently.
THE policy sought to be adopted by
these sections" said Miss McNaly, is
now In effect throughout the Federal
service by executive order, and the leg
islation therefore proposes no new thing.
This is Just an additional contribution
that the Federal employees are asked TO
make during the present temporary con-
dition of finances.
The Saturday half-holiday law has
not yet been fully complied with" Miss
McNally continued. Many employees
are being refused the benefits of the
Saturday half-holiday act because Of
lack of appropriations, even though
Saturday half holidays for Federal
workers is now the law of the land
In the opinion of the federation, the
adoption of sections 2 and of the ag-
riculture appropriation bill are greater
detriment to administration officials
than to the individual Federal employees,
inasmuch as they make difficult, if not
impossible, the efficient carrying on Of
the activity of the department"

His position regarding the amend
ments made in order under the special
rule to prevent filling Of vacancies or
granting pay increases until July /,
1898, was given by Chairman Byrns in
reply to this question by Representative
Simmons:
IF death or vacancies occur in a
bureau, and the gentleman from Ten
nessee is not in position to anticipate
where those are going to occur, If 1t is
required that they be not filled except
the President finds that the filling OF
them is absolutely essential" then are
we not "blindly" possibly crippling those
activities, just as much as my amend
ment would "blindly" cripple them?'
In response. Chairman Byrns said
Certainly not, because we are safe
guarding that possibility by giving the
President of the United States the au-
thority to direct that they be filled, and
that is the whole object Of that provi-
sion in the bill, which gives him au-
thority, whenever he thinks they should
be filled, TO fill them"
