BOURLAND AMENDMENT DEFEATED
AND FEDERAL WORKERH ARE TO

The Brownsville Federal Employe*
Fnion lias received oHieial notiec from
tli headquarters of the national organi-
zation at Washington of the defeat of the j
Bourland S hour aihendment an d :
the passage by the house :ind the senate {
of the measure which grants to employes j
of various branches of the government
except in those bureau* sustained hy '
stated appropria;ions increases of salary
amounting to .*120 a year to those reced-
ing not more than .*2.500 annually. Cus-
toms and immigration employes are a-
jmoiig those affeeied. as well as emplayes
of the posj office department.
The Bourland amendment provided that
till employes work eight hours every day
whereas m some departments the average
daily working hour is less than this. In
the customs department for instance
employes work from 0 a. in. to I p. m.
hut they also maintain the same hours on
Sundays. In other departments the av-
erage day’s work runs from six to eight
hours. 4
Probably twenty-live employes of the
government in Brownsville are affected
by the increase* in salary granted hy the
measure as it passed both houses.
