PLAN
CLERKS NEXT
OBJECTIVE
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

When the Seventy.fifth Con-
eress convenes in Washington
early in January, the drive for
enactment of legislation giving a
five day week to all Federal en-
ployes is expected to take it's
place beside the offensive for ex-
tension of the merit system.
With pay restoration and leave
liberalization, the two major
items that have occupied Govern
ment lobbyists since passage of
the economy act, accomplished
fully during the past two Hill
sessions, the five-day goal is ex
pected to be the largest single
item sought for personnel. The
merit drive, Of course, will be
pressed from all angles, particu-
larly in view of the recent po-
litical party planks on the sub
ject, but due to its ramifications
it can hardly be classed as a SOL
itary item.
The five-day problem itself has
several qualifications, and the
foremost hindrance to it's passage,
according to congressional opin-
ion previously expressed, is the
possible attempt of organized en-
ployes to cut their working hours
as we'll as their days. This, it
has been limited, will not be swal-
lowed by Congress, though cond[
lions after the November cleo
lions may temper opinion on the
subject.
Previous surveys Of five-day
plans have shown workers in gen.
eral to favor the plan submitted
late in the last Congress by Rep
resentative John Mccormack CD,
Of Massac husetts. This would pro-
vide five seven-hour days, cutting
the work week to IS hours. and
naturally would get the choice,
but its chances Of getting through
Congress are admitted negligible
by the most ardent Of personnel
advocates.
The hours already given $780,
900 Federal workers under the
Thomas amendment in the 1885
Independent Office Act, consist
ing of four eight-hour days and
one of seven, thus retaining the
present 39-hour week, are second
choice with personnel and are
believed to be the form any sue
cessful legislation would take.
House Civil Service Chairman
Ramspeck has also suggested five
eight-hour days, totalling 40 in a
week, and the extra hour might
be tackled on in exchange for ex-
Guiding Saturday as a Holiday for
clerical forces. Employees have in
dicated, however, that they would
rather work on Saturdays than
have an hour added to their work
ing week, some expressing the
vague fear that Congress at some
future time might add four
hour Saturday on them in addi-
ton to the five eight-hour days.
