Calls House Bill Fairer
Following announcement Of ap-
proval of the amendments by the
committee yesterday, Luther Stew
ard, president Of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, is.
sued q statement declaring that
the bill, as passed by the House
was eminently fairer to the en-
ployeS than the bill proposed for
action in the Senate. He said:
"The National Federation Of
Federal Employees stands four
square for the leave bills rs
originally passed by the House
Of Representatives. We believe
that the House bills, providing
for 12O days cumulative sick
and annual leave, are emf
nently fair. Curtailment Of this
provision to so days we are
convinced Is demOnStrably .
less sound provision.
Proposed deletiOn entirely Of
section 3 Of the annual leave
bill as passed by the House is
a decided impairment Of the
efficacy Of the measure. That
employees should be cOmpen.
sated for overtime is . prin.
ciple well recognized every
where. The House measure was
satisfactory in this respect.
CAN'T BE JUSTIFIED
Furthermore, the proposal Of
the Senate Committee to set the
effective date for both annual
and sick leave measures as July,
1886, cannot, we feel, be justi.
fled. The intOlerabIe leave con-
ditiOnS which now exist should
be terminated as soon as Is feast
bic and practicable.
"Surely there is no need to
postpone that remedial action
until July. The legislation
should be effective as Of no later
than January. It will be recalled
that for q full twO-year period,
all annual leave was suspended.
That fact certainly should be
weighed in the setting Of the ef-
fective date Of new and dcSper.
ately needed leave legislation.
Both sick and annual leave
bills as passed last session by
the House were satisfactory and
fair. Their provisions were
carefully drawn and the Ma
tiOnal Federation Of Federal EN-
plOyes believes that the meas
ures should pass the Senate in
their original FORM"
