Domestic Business Awaits War

OCmeSuC business AWd11S war
There is little to report con-
corning domestic business. The
foreign mix-up has continued as
a Oppressive factor, and the pos
sibility of war (even though few
experts think one is really COM
ing soon) casts frightening
shadow.
The Presidents statement to
the effect that there will be no
reduction in the tax burden, plus
White House insistence on in
creased WPA appropriations,
have likewise dimmed the out
look.
On the favorable side is a sub
stantial increase in new industrial
orders. Automobile sales have
been very good, the market for
electrical equipment is expand
ing, farm equipment buying is
up. and railroad purchasing has
been at comparatively high lev
els.

It strikes this corner that an
Executive Order is needed to
clarity the existing situation in re-
gard to sick leave. Uncle Sam
is renowned for his unwillingneSs
to play fair in the matter Of
equity Ito wit: the fact that few
persons having a contract with
the Government can make the lat
ter live up to it in case Of dis
pute), and in the matter of sick
leave the Government Is taking its
usual unfair. advantage. We refer
to the situation whereby a person
taken sick at, perhaps, 2:30 p. m.
must then take the entire after.
noon off. Further, a person sick
on Saturday is charged for the
entire day (though using but four
hours) and If Ill on Monday is also
charged for Sunday (why?) {.
Also, q clerK leaving at II on
Saturday morning is charged for
three-fourths Of a day, though
using but two hours . Worst Of
all, sick leave can be taken only
in multiples of HALF A DAY, al
though it's entirely possible to be
ill but 80 minutes. To this cor
ner there seems no reason why
offices-through Executive Order
be told to bestir themselves
and do a bit Of bookkeeping on
sick leave in the same equitable
manner in which it is handled for
annual leave.
