Saving of $500,000 at seventy cents an liour, enough to give cops Increase. Seven-hour day workers would have every legal holiday, two weeks or more vacation each summer, and halt day on Saturday. Klvo and six hour day workers now have all these "loafs," many of which aro not observed by busi ness institution?. Changing hours of one-fifth of 16,000 employes would save enough for 'salary "Increased planned for this fall. " Jf money Is not found this way tax rate increase is declared little short of inevitable. -Short' hours are the rule rather than tho exception In the service of city' and county. Taxpayers pay the freight. ' A total of 3C0O working hours each day would bo saved to tho city of Philadelphia It placeholders were re quired to work seven hours out of the twenty-four. ' If a business day of eight hours were enforced, the saving would bo increased 2800 hours, making a grand total dally saving of 6400 working hours. Tills, at the moderate rate of seventy cents an hour, would mean a Mvlng of $4480 a day. As no one in authority has any idea of putting city workers on a business basis, the eight-hour figures are useful only to show what could be done If any real effort were made to equalize rworklhg time in political jobs and ordinary working conditions. Tho seven-hour working day, from 9 to 5 o'clock,- with? an hour for lunch, is tho one that many members of Councils believe should be enforced. It would result In a saving of 900,000 forking hours! each year. Councllmanlc and other Investiga tors who have mado a study of po litical sinecures say that fully 800 county and court employes now work an average of between flvo and six -hours a day, with long holidays dur ing tho summer and unfailing observe ance of everything resembling a legal holiday, as well as Saturday half holl, 'days. They contend these men.should wherever possible, work seven hours. Waste 900,000 Hours a Year Under present conditions, with po licemen and firemen working unusu ally long hours becauso of tho short age' of men in both. bureaus, 2000 em ployes. In and out of City, Hall, quit their day's tasks at 4 o'clock after starting at 9 and having an hour for luncheon.1 This estimate; perhaps, errs in that It Is too low asf regards the 'number of, 4-o'clock quitters, but is taken as a basis for the calculation, showing the easo with which most placeholders obtain their salaries. With 2000 city workers and 8000 r county employes .enjoying every pos sible vacation 'period and the added boon of tho shortest known working days, the opportunities are numberless for them to employ their unexhausted activities In private undertakings. These figures affect less than one-fifth -of the 15,000 to 16,000 names that ap pear annually on the city and county "personal service" lists and are so con servative that tho startling totals probably would be greatly augmented If nnythlng like a time-saving system were, put Into effect. .If taken merely as the basis of cal culation on a seven-hour day, to which many Councllmcn say there could be 'no possible objection, the dally saving of 3800 working hours In the five full 'days' of each week becomes 18,000 rf Mar' RAILROAD CRASH S&3$X?S8F8a?pVmfi t f t'nilenvood & Underwood The photograph is the first to reach Philadelphia showing the wreck near Gary, Intl., in which sixtv-ninc were killed and 115 injured, including many women and children and the majority of the Hagcnbeck-Wallace circus troupe ROOSEVELT, JR., I CITED FOR VALOR I BEFORE CANTIGNY Young Major Highly Commended for "Qualifies of Courage and Leadership" ' With tli Amerlcna Army In Frnnrr, June 21.
