that 1t is a very insignificant portion Of

@ INTRODUCE MACHINES. ~
It Is we'll settled fact that the gov
ernmant will put the typesetting ma
chimes In the government printing Of
flee. Printers have foreseen for years
that the time was coming when
Uncle Sam would follow the example Of
tho leading publishers Of the country
and abolish hand composition as far as
possible It Is contended to-day by some
Of the employees of the government
printing office that the machines Will
not do the work, but the majority are
thought to be of the opinion that there
IS compare lively little work done BY hand
for the government that the machines
will not do as we'll. An employe In the
government printing office told me this
alternoon that 1t was generally recog-
,nized in the office that'th machines were
only matter OF one Of two years.
II am going to learn the machines"
Z. said, significantly.
1T Is not thought that there Will be a
by reason Of the introduction of the ma
chimes 1t is assumed that the govern
ment will follow the example Of the
newspaper proprietors and allow such
of the old typos as desire to learn the
machines do so. 1t is said that there
will be at least four hundred machines
Installed. In addition to the number OF
n en- put to operating the machines there
will necessarily have to be employed
ii large number to do work which 1t IS
rot claimed can be done on the ma
chimes.
still, it is estimated that there will
be from three hundred to four hundred
composltors thrown out of work. 8.
"We'll go hunt UP the horse and sym.
pathize with him over the introduction OF
automobiles said one old printer. dis
cussng the subject to-day.
But 1t may ne set down as a fact
that the machines will not dispiace hand
composition In the government printing
office until after the Presidential cleo
ton next year.
