Uncle Sam Begins Negotiations
With GPO for Short Work Week
Y A. ROBERT SMITH
lil Tribune Correspondent
Washington Uncle Sam
with a small group of federal em
ployees who
are spearhead
ing the drive
of government
workers gen
erally to c u t
the work week
down to 35
hours without
any loss in

Robt. smith ii me gov
ernment gives any ground at all,
t authoritative observers be
lieve it will, it will represent the
first break-through against the
S)vernment's standard five-day,
il-hour work week.
The negotiations will be con
ducted between the photengrav-
ers who work at the U.S. Gov
ernment Printing Office here in
the nation's capital, and the head
of the GPO, Public Printer Ray
1 Battenberger. This is unusual in
! itself, for virtually all govern
' ment salaries are set within
I limits established by Congress
' by civil service schedules or
j wage boards a n d in neither
case does the employee get to
! bargain over his working agree
ment. But Attorney General
Herbert Brownell has ruled that
the public printer has authority
to negotiate with the 6000 work
ers at the GPO over wages and
hours.
The photoengravers are the
first to come up for a negotiated
agreement on future pay since
Brownell's decision, and they
are determined to insist on a 35

tion in take-home pay. Most ob
servers think if they win a short
er work week, it will be only
a matter of time before this con
cession to employee desires is
extended throughout the federal
service.
Desire Expressed
This desire was expressed here
last week by the executive coun
cil of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, which urged
the adoption of the seven-hour
working day, five days a week.
Simultaneously, it asked Con
gress to adopt the Johnston-
Neuberger bill that would ui
crease civil service salaries an
average of 12 per cent.
There is a bi-partisan recogni
tion in Congress that a shorter
work week is coming. Rep John
F. Shelley (D-Calif.) is sponsor
ing a bill to install 35 hours
as the standard federal work
week Sen. William A. Purtell
(R-Conn.) has a bill to create a
commission that would explore
the practical results of reduc
ing the work week which he be
lieves will inevitably come.
Many public employees work
ing for states, counties and mun
icipalities now have work weeks
of less than 40 hours. There is
something of a trend in this dir
ection in private employment,
according to federal employee
organizations.
May Seek Compromise
Printer Battenberger is expectr
ed to seek a compromise agree
ment, probably at 37Vi hours,
which would work out to a 7'2
hour day for five days. But his
agreement to this concession is
understood to be pegged to the
photengravers dropping their ac
companying requests for in-
creases in wages and other bene
fits.
. In the end, the whole question
may be thrown into Congress
for a fuial decision. For one of
the more minor agencies of the
lawmaking branch is the Joint
Committee on Printmg headed
by Sen. Carl Hayden of Arizona,
who also is chairman of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee,
which must pass all pay bills
under which federal workers re
ceive their wages and salaries.
The printing committee must
ratify any agreement reached by
the public printer and his em
ployees. So, whether Battenberger
passes the buck to the committee
or goes ahead and cuts the work
week. Congress will have the
last word on whether it becomes
effective as a precedent-setting
agreement which is bound to in
crease the leisure time of Uncle
Sam's more than 2,000,000 employees.
'Sons of Dunghiir
Button for Wilson
Washington (U.PJ White
House photographers have or
ganized the "'Sons of Dunghill"
in honor of Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson.
They presented Wilson Wed
nesday with a lapel button bear
ing the initials "S. O. D." as he
arrived at the White House.
The button commemorates the
remark Wilson recently made
outside the White House after
confering with President Eisen
hower. When he was asked about the
meeting, he replied "this isn't
my dunghill." ,
Wilson cheerfully accepted
the "S. O. D." button and kept
it in his lapel as he posed later
for pictures.
