OFFICE or CONVERSATIONAL PRINTER
WASHINGTON, April 26, 1915. s
To the employees Of the GOCefIlgieU Printing Ogtce:
My attention has been called to a pubitca-
tion in the Washington Chronicle of this date,
which substantially charges upon You the
Offense of being engaged in an organized and
unjuStifiable effort to interfere with, control,
and embarrass the business interests of pri-
vate enterprise in this city. i sincerely hope
that the criticism INDUCED on this question
has its origin in misrepresentation of the
facts. However, If the employees of this office
are in any degree obnoxious to such aIlega-
lions, | trust they will hereafter carefully
abstain from any interference with. and
from eXerting any undue influence, either
personally or otherwise, over any enterprises
IN the line OF printing outside this office
during the term of their service here. 1t is
my wish and hope that persons employed in
this branch of the public service will at all
times show proper respect for the rights
and interests OF others while thus connected.
