Satisfaction at the Change Made by Secretary Foster. | Mow THE OLD ORDER OPERATED aXD TRE TI | PORTANCR IT GAVE THE WATCRMEN—2X-SEO- RETARY MANNING AND NOT EX-CHIEF CLERE YOUMANS RESPONGIBLE FOR IT. j The order which Secretary Charles Foster | mer vacation, changing the regulations in the method of reporting tardy clerks at the Treas- | Sram, was hailed with delight by the employes of the department. Since the days of Secretary Manning and Chief Clerk Youmans « rule bas been in opera- tion which has been « constant thorn in theside | of the clerks. HOW TRE OLD RULE WORKED. Under this rule if «lady clerk should arrive atone of the doors of the Treasury Depart- ment one minute after 9 o'clock she was halted by the watchman, who demanded her name and the bureau in which she was employed. The watchman then made out a report of the occur- rence and sent it up. to’ the captain of the | watch, ‘bat functionary forwarded the re- port to the chief of the bureau in which the ‘unfortunate clerk was employed. He in turn, ifter being thus apprised of the fact that one of his clerks was sixty seconds bebind time, handed the report down to the chief of the division, who was thereupon obliged to call the tardy one up to his desk and demand ep ex- planation of this breach of discipline. MORE TIME WASTED. By this time half of the force in the burean | A number of officials who bad weightier mnt- tera to attend to had spent adozen more min- | deavoring to ascertain why that one minute was lost. ‘The matter wound up by the harassed und annoyed clerk making satisfactory explana- | tion of the occurrence, or in the failare of that, | having the time chatged against ber annual leave. Then, this important matter settled, This one refulation hxs probably caused more | annoyance,more justifiable grumbling and more hearty swear words than any other dozen rules of tho department put together. they called “espionage” and ‘“fuctory-hand regulations.” If a new watchman came on j duty he seemed immediately impressed with the importance of the duty he wus rendering | the government in keeping a group of tardy clerks foming and fretting in the bali while he | took their names and addresses to make out his | official report. When the attention of Secretary Foster was called to the matter he concluded that it was a u-eloss infliction and could be dispensed with, | while discipline couid be maintained at the same time, hence the order of yesterday. HOW THAT RULE ORIGINATED. “Chief Clerk Youmans wax generally credited with issuing that old order of espionag a Treasury Department official toa Stam man today, “but that was not the case, in fact.
