Strikes among employees of the gov
eminent are of rare occurrence, but
just now one is threatened in the gov
eminent printing office. Trouble has
grown out of the fact that a member
of the bookbinders' union was expelled
and his discharge from the government
service demanded. The foreman acqui-
esced in the unions demand, and the
discharged man appealed to the presi-
dent for reinstatement on the ground
that a rule Of the civil service had been
violated. President Roosevelt ordered
that he be taken back. Now every
bookbinder in the office says he will
quit work if the presidents order be
carried out.
