To this Mr.. Rounds replies: The prosecution OF tne
business % the Government Printing Office,
working now, as It has been for many years
past In accord with the typographical and bookblnders
unions, is dependent upon the action OF those organ
izations far that T., the refusal of the PUBIC
Printer to abide by any all OF their rules and reg

flee was ordered 10 wOnld necesstate stoppage OF
the Government printing until the office could be sup
Piled with non union workmen. And in the opinion OF
the Government printer. to supply the Government
office with large "a OF skilled wOrkmen neces-
sary do great amount and so high grade OF
work from among the number OF non-union workmen
would involve serious loss Of time, and
for such time necessarily lower the standard
OF work done IN the Government Office At any and all
times should any serious difficulty difference arise
between public service and these unions, the puDc

would sustain them without regard to the laws ana reg
