, Mr.. ROUNDS informs the Senate that
the prosecution of the business Of the Gov
ernment printing Office, working now, as it
has been for many years past, in accord
with the Typographical and Book binders
! Unions, is dependent upon the action of
those organizations in so far that il on re-
fusal of the Public Printer to abide by any
or all of their rules and regulations a gen.
eral strike Of workmen in the office was or
dered, it would make necessary the stOppage
of the Government printing until the office
could be supplied with non-union workmen,
and, in the opinion of the Government
Printer, to supply the Government office
with so large a number of skilled workmen, ,
necessary to do so great an amount and so
high grade of work, from among the num-
ber of nOn-union wOrkmen would involve
serious loss of time, and for such time nee
essarily a lo'Yer standard of work would
be done.
TREASURY officials say the rumor:
that large amount of spurious bonds are
in circulation are totally devoid of founda-
ton. In the words of Secretary Folger
they are idle stories started by sensational
gossipers.' - It is somewhat singular, tt
say the least of it, that there should be sew
eral millions of spurious bonds in circula'
tion without the knowledge of the depart
ment So far not a single one has been
presented for redemption. The bonds re-
covered from Doyle have all been satisfac
torily accounted for. There are no new de-
velopments in the case of BrOckway. Hi
case is under consideration by the Attor leY'
| General.
