Miller's Discharge Predicted.

Persons we'll informed In the matter say
that there is not the least doubt that the
bookbndera' charges against Miller Will be
sustained by the public printer and result
In his discharge by the latter. but that is
only the opinion OF those favoring the bind
ers. Miller and his friends do not know the
contents OF that protest against his retcn-
tion in the bindcry. and are therefore un-
able tn make any predictions. But they do
say that he Will be able to bring counter
charges against the union of coercion and
similar violations OF the law that will con-
tnue his case and finally result disastro,Isly
to his enemies.
Miller is ii fighter. as has been shown
by his action In the first and his re-
turn TO work IN the face of the enmity of
the thousands OF union men employed in
the printing office. He will not accept
tamely discharge at the instigaion OF
the union from which he has been ex-
PEELED. but will bring the law to bear to
retain his place. IL he is successful in
this It will have the effect he has been
working for-destruction OF the power of
the union IN the government printing Of

pleased with the manner in which the local
union has thus far conducted their affair
with the government, and the play has
reached the last act. The entire matter
was thoroughly gone over with the arbitra-
tion committee while the International otfi-
GERS were here, and decision was reached
that Will enable the union to act to its
best interests whichever way the case now
goes.
Charges have been preferred against MIL
Ter in the protest to- the public printer that.

would be libelous in the highest degree.
and II is the suhstantiation of these charges
that has kept the arbitration committee eX-
tremely busy for the two weeks during
which the matter has been awaiting ad-
tustment
The bookfinders will hold their regular
monthly meeting tomorrow night at their
hall in the Typographical Temple. and the
Miller case will be presented to the meeting
by the arbitration committee that has had
1t In charge. 1t Is not expected that any
thing will be done at that time other than

was done by the president of the internal

The Civil Service Commission.

The civil service commission although
not a court of arbitration for the benefit
OF all government employees with a griev
ance. Is bound to consider d petition from
an employe who has been notified that
charges have been preferred against him
that demand his dismissal for the good
OF the service" If the law has been vio-
lated in hts case the commission is bound
by law To protect him and request his
retention. The President then orders the
retention. as he did In the case when Miller
was discharged.
The charges against him will have to be
sent to him In writing and "a reasonable
time" given him IN which TO reply to them.
II he can reply successfully he cannot, In
law, be separated from the service, and the
time Is not by law limited. II has on sew
eral occasions been "A question before the

actions become public scandal the guilty

When "off Duty"
This does not apply If the act Is com
mitted during the hours OF his labor. but
only when he has been known to speak

Early Action by the Public
Printer Expected.
THE CURRENT COMMENT
OPPONENTS OF ASSISTANT FORE
MAN PREDICT DISMISSAL.
It Is Believed That the President IS
Keeping Himself Fully Inform
ed on the Matter.

Thore is a strong probability that the
protest of the bookbinders against the re-
tention Of w. A. Miller as assistant fore
man of the government bindery will be
taken up and acted on by Public Printer
Palmer within a day or two. This atera-
tion In the program OF tno now celebrated
case that at one time was thought 10
threaten the government with q strike OF
several hundred employees. has come uneX-
pectedly. and IL said to have emanated
from Oyster Bay.
The inaction of the public printer after
the protest OF the hookbinders was thought
to be due 10 the delicate pos ton In which
the head of the printing office had been
placed by lie discharge and subsequent re-
instatement of the assistant foreman, and
advice from the President and his Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor was sought
Although the matter has never on
c.ally been In the hands of the President
since he Issued the order for the reinstate-
ment. 1t has unotiicially been there ever
since the protest was filed with the public
printer. II Is now understood that the
President has told Mr.. Palmer to go ahead
and act on the charges filed with him. and
also that the civil service commission has
been instructed to act in the event that
Miller is found TO have been guilty of any
ofYense that calls for his dismissal and he
makes an appeal to that body.
