Weather Bureau. headed by E. C. Jones'
President of Columbia Typographical
Union No 10l, and accompanied by Chief
Willis Moore of the bureau, waited on
Secretary Wilson at the Agricultural De-
partment late yesterday afternoon, and
asked for an increase in the pay of the
printers. Il was urged that inasmuch as
Congress has restored the wages OF the
Government Printing Office printers and
pressmen to 81 a day, it was only just that
the printers in the Agricultural Depart
lnent should be granted the same compen-
sation.
Secretary Wilson informed the delega-
tion that while he sympathized with the
movement and thought that the wages o.
the printers in his department shon be
raised TO 81. there was 70 appropriation
available for that purpose. He said, no s.
ever. be would look into the matter ami
would DO what he could for tie printers In
