Public Printer Benedict Complies
With Book Binders Request.
SUSPENDED MEN REINSTATED
He Imposed the Condition That Books
Shall Be Given Out in Lots OF Sixty
Days Work to BE Regulated by
Eight Hours-Everybo body Pleased.

Public Printer Benedict yesterday, upon
the request OF the arbitration committee of
Bookbinders' Uuion, No. 4, reinstated the
two workmen, McFee aud Loomis, alleged
to have been detected in Sinking theirduty,
and upon certain conditions the members
of the union and Foreman Espey restored
the status quo. The conditions are that
the books to be bound shall be hereafter
given out in lots of sixty, but if for any
just reason the binder is unable to com
plete the lot in day of eight hours, that
fact shall not count against his record.
The main object OF the Public Printer,
as stated by himself, is TO have each man
do eight hours of faithful work. The force
is to begin at 6 a. m, according to the
regulations, and work continuously until
IL; commencing again at IL: 80, they
must work until 4: 80. thus rendering
service for full day.
NOT TO HURRY THE MEN.
No workman is tohe be put upon task,
nor is to be hurried beyond his capacity
for good work. The principal requirement
imposed by Mr. Benedict is that the work
shall be skinfully done, and that there
shall be no loaling during working hours.
There viii fbe no strike. The union recog-
and upon the other hand the Public
Printer conceded the reinstatement of the
two employees, as asked for by their
assoc iates.
1t was stated last night, in justice to
Messrs McFee and Loomis, that the
chrage against them was based upon a
misunderst anding. They Were not en-
ployed at their work, as was stated, but
one of them was waiting for his books
to be passed by the cutter, and the other
had an equally good reason for not being
at his post.
There are those in the bindery, it is
staetd, who we1e often enabled TO finish
q set Of books inmuch less than the specified
eight hours.
COMMON CUSTOM IN THE OFFICE.
1t became by common consent bis privi-
lege to employ himself as he pleased after
finishing his assignment.
This gave rise to comment, and in one
way and another it came to Mr. Ben
edict's notice that as much as an hour
each in specified cases was employed
daily on other than public business, and
while he proposes to consider every cir
cumstance advanced in favor of tue faith
ful workmen, be insists that there shall
be no moro idle hours.
Hereafter, according to the new rules
established, man who completes his lot
Of sixty books before the closing hour
must take another lot aud devote such
time to t as remains, completing it on the
succeeding day. 10 this way there Will
be 40 opportunity for anybody to consider
his day closed until the hour of 4:30 arrives.
There is no dissatisfaction expressed
upon the part of the members of the union,
So far as can be ascertaiued, and there is
not likely to be any cause for lodging COM
plaint against them. -

RARE ADVANTAGES

For Prospective Buyers of Clothing.
1t must be puzzling to the average man
when contemplating the purchase of
suit to know just where to pin his faith.
Clothing sales of every description, and
many that are absolutely indescribable,
are the order of the day Mitchell Bros. &
Co., 403 and 40 8 Seventh street north
west, did not open their doors with the
sole object of educating the good people
of Washington and vicinity, but the fact
remains that during the comparatively
short period of their business experience
in this city they have done what no other
concern has even tried TO do, viz, the
establishment of a business without the
sensational elements that seem to be a
part of modern retailing. Mitchell Bros
& Co. are wholesale and retail manufac-
turing clotbieTs, and their claim to save
for their patrons the retailers profits
is well substantiated in their every day
business. Their advertisement, which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue of The Times,
is well worth the attention of the care

Interest in the Negro Exhibit.

There was an enthusiastic meeting Fri
day night at the Virginia Avenue Baptist
Church south west in the interest OF the
Atlanta Exposition.
Prof. Jesse Lawson, chief commissioner,
spoke at length regarding the great ad-
vantage to be gained blythe negro exhibit,
which is to be d special feature of the ex-
position. Nothing remains said he,
"fur us but to make little effort in the
way of cooperation, and success is sure.
The nation will be there to see what the
negro has done aud is doing in the way OF
progress, and that will be the time TO put
forth our best efforts. Let us have all
in the Iiue of improvement If it is only
a photograph of the church in which you
worship"
Mr.. Stewart spoke and gave some in-
teretting light on the subject. He thought
that the very fact that the Southern white
people had spent so much on the building
for the negro exhibit was proof of their in
terest in the race. Another meeting will
be held at the same church on the 27th
instant.
