FINAL ACTION
IN SENATE
|SNEAR
Vacations 26 Days,
Cumulative to
Total Of 90

Approval of the conference re-
port on the Government leave
bills liberalizing the restrictions
placed by the Economy Act is ex-
pected in the Senate tomorrow.
The bills have been changed so
they carry 26 days annual leave,
accumulative to so days; Is days
sick leave accumulative to 80 days
and the effective date set at Jan.
uary /, 1886.
Victory for Employees
The bills are a distinct victory
for friends of the Government EN-
ployes although the benefits are
far below those allowed in the
bills as they passed the House.
Conferees yesterday made an ad-
vantageous change in Section 3 Of
the original House bill. The Sem
ate eliminated entirely this pro-
vision which allows additional
leave in compensation for over
time. On the insistance of House
managers, the conferees rewrote
this provision.
Under the new language heads
of departments will be compelled
to keep a record of all overtime
between July 1 and December 81,
1896. Monthly reports will be made
to the Civil Service Commission.
At the end of this period the Civil
Service Commission will report the
figures to Congress for use as a
basis for legislation at the next ses-
sion of Congress to correct this
evil.
Approved by McKellar
It was revealed yesterday that
while the bill puts the annual
leave of permanent employees MT
26 days annually, temporary en-
ployes still retain the status Of
the House bill of two-and-one-half
days per month, or 80 days an
nually.
The bills rewritten in conference
meet the approval of Senator Ken
meth McKellar O0 Tennessee,
who was the most vigorous oppon-
ent, and are expected to get the
final o. k. from both Senate and
House before the week is out.
