men under him with all that his power
and hatred could inhict. His course Of
SANDER OF the union of which he was a
member. and his repeated efforts TO
injure the best interests of the mem
bers became so serious that the arbi-
tration committee was compelled TO
take cognizance of the matter.
Witnesses were examined and Miller
was also summoned TO appear in his
own behalf. He took no notice Of this
summons.
The result of the examinations Of
the witnesses before the arbitration
committee was of such a grave nature
that charges were formally preferred
against him by the committee.
THE result of this investigation was
placed before the union and proven be-
yond the shadow of doubt He had
used the vilest and most obscene Ian
guage against members of the union and
officials OF the Government Printing Of
fee, he had attempted TO influence iegis-
lation by reporting TO members OF Con-
gress that the men at the office were not
doing as much work as they should do !:
he was found 10 have secured private
papers OF the association and to have
given them to member of Congress to
further his own ends. and numerous
other crimes against the organization of
which be was at that time a member.
There was no alternative but to ex-
pei him from the International Brother
hood. and this was done.
I'VE desire it to be understood that
the union never requested his discharge
from the service of the Government. but
we do wish 10 make IT plain that our
constitution forb.ds US to work with a
man who has been expelled from our
ranks"

ENTITLED TO
$50 POUNDS OF BAGGAGE
Comptroller Of the Treasury Of
This OPINION.

The Comptroller OF the Treasury has
TO the Secretary OF War
that a more definite understanding Ie
had with the railroad companies in re-
gard to the transportation CT $50 pounds
Of baggage free for each officer and SOL
der OF the United States Army
At present it is not always made plain.
in the bills OF lading. whether this 80
pounds of baggage must be the personal
property OF the officer or soldier or
whether the railroad company allows 80
pounds OF the entire shipment free for
each man travelling.
Under the last supposition, provided
the men did not have any personal bag
gage. the Government could send its be-
longings free OF charge to the amceut
Of $50 pounds for each man that went
with it,
The Comptroller has ruled in former
cases that the 80 pounds OF baggage
exempt from charge must be the per-
sonal effects OF the men. He says. how
ever, In his letter to the Secretary OF
War, that another arrangement could
be made with the railroad companies.
he suggests that IT would perhaps be a
good plan to have the baggage free OF
charge put into separate ears.

ploye and criticise In scurrilous and
acts Of another. His continued bitter
attacks on the men caused a feeling of
distrust as to the permaneney of our
positions there.
THE first charge against Miller was
due TO the treatment OF those working
under him. and not to the cheapening of
the work in the printing office. He was
given a copy OF these charges against
him and afforded an opportunity to
acquit himself
In explanation of these charges it
may be said that, as an instance OF his
demands upon the men. he insisted that
they complete from twelve to fourteen
books. known as members reserve,
when our task had previously been
placed on the schedule of the union at
ten books per day.
This work was full OF morocco of
the first class. He was told that in
order 70 get the men 10 try 10 do this
task he must confer with the arbitra-
ton committee, and they would deter
mine what We should do. He refused
10 do this, and kept up his violent abuse
OF the men and the union. insisting that
his orders be obeyed even TO the extent
Of our violating cur constitution.
He did not deign to appear before
the society and plead in his own de-
Tense. but secluded himself In nearby
saloons, where he first heard the result
OF the verdict against him. The charges
preferred were sustained by an almost
unanimous vote of the organization, and
there IS no doubt that the extreme pcn-
atty Of expulsion from the union would
have been inflicted but for the timely
pleading CT several members of the
union which he had viliied.
HE was suspended from Local Union
No. 4 for fifteen days. and the officials
OF tho printing office were notified. They
advised him TO take vacation for that
length OF time. which he did. The Public
Printer then removed him TO the super
vision Of another division. where he at
once began TO curse and vilify all off,
