Look at the men under the Government who are given 30 days lcaye of absence with pay. In the executive departments there are 22.965 1en getting 30 days leave with pay. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there are 4.000 men getting 30 days leave of absence with pay. in the Government Printing Office there are 3.625 men who are getting 30 days leIave of absence with full pay. in the Immigration Service there are 1.658 men getting leave of absence of 30 days with full pay. in the Customs Service 6.443 men are getting leave of absence with full pay. in the Isthmian Canal Service there are 6.000 men who are getting 30 days leave of absence with pay. Then when you come to these men working in the navy yards. gun factories. naval stations. and arsenals. where we find the very hardest character of physical work. work that requires continuous attention. work which requires a high type of mechanic. we give them only 15 days. I ask you in all fairness is that discrimination right?
