N. F. F. F. PLEA
IS TAKEN TO
PRESIDENT

Establishment of a 40.hour week
in the Government service, full
extension of the merit system, and
personnel classification to field
workers was requested of Presi-
dent Roosevelt today by the exec
utive council of the National Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees.
The triple request was presented
in the form of letters, signed by
all members of the council and
formulated after closed sessions
which began Monday.
Regarding a shorter work week,
1t was charged that items of thou
sands" of Government clerks have
been forced to work overtime with
out compensation in any form.
Leave Laws Hit
The council, representing 10000
Federal workers, further charged
that under application by admin
istrative officers of leave laws
now in force many clerks have
been forced to put in as much as
five hours per week in overtime.
Placing of all Government posi-
tions except policy-making ones
under Civil Service and establish
ment of the classification prin-
ciple of equal pay for equal work"
was requested for field employees
by the group, which is headed by
Luther C. Steward, president.
No Compensation
The letter asking a shorter week
said in part:
"The executive council wishes
to take this occasion to point
out that tens of thousands of
Federal employees now are work
ing excessive hours without
either added compensation or
compensatory time"
Likewise, in the application
of the regulations, signed and
issued at the White House,
governing the sick and annual
leave laws, as much as five
hours has in some instances
been added to the work week.
There was no intention on
the part of Congress to add to
the work week by the passage
of these laws, and we therefore
protest strongly against this un-
fortunate misuse of the leave
legislation. The inter-depart-
partmental leave committee
should be instructed to revise
the leave regulations so that
in their application any work
periods that have been length
ened be restored to their status
prior to enactment of the pres
ent regulations"
ASK NEW RULES
1--WE bespeak the support Of
your Administration for legiSla-
ton which will provide for a
maximum work week of 40
hours, at the same time safe
guarding all groups of employees
now enjoying better time con-
ditiOnS, and providing for COM
penSation for overtime or COM
penSatOry time in lieu thereof"
"The executive council does
not believe it is the intention
of the Federal Government to
impose unwarranted working
conditions and that, rather, it
is your desire and the desire of
other responsible officials to set
an example to private business
and industry in the matter of
hours of labor. Present cOndi'
tiOns in the service call for re-
form along progressive lines"

possible for police to immediately apprehend persons violating the city ordinance. Superintendent Roach explained that up to the time tho new system ,was put into effect it was customary for the dealer to write his own ticket"
 He said that the vending owner formerly appeared ct head quarters, was given Q license after he had specified the number of machines he owned, and was told to place on each one his own iden- tificatlon tag. This made 1t pos- slble, according to the superin- tendent, for a vendor to hold out on the city by not giving the correct number of machines when he came to headquarters to pay his license fee.
 Licenses Required
 Besides vending machines of every type, all bowling alleys and second hand dealers of all kinds are rec quired to have licenses, 6uperin- tendent Roach said. Dealers in sec- ond hand articles must pay Q yearly license fee of Si0 and owners oi bowling alleys must pay Q fee of $lC for the first alley and i've dollars for each additional alley.
 Double Check
 With the completion of the issu- ance of licenses, police have begun Q drive to check up on those who have failed to comply with the or- dinance, with the result that Q num- Der have been notified to appear at henduuarters, Failure to comply with the requirements of the or. dinance after due warning will re- suit in prosecution.
