NOT In GOOD FAITH.


Detroit Journal
The local union of bookbinders i'm the
washington government printing office will
make up new case against Assistant
FOREMAN Miller, whom the President or
dered reinstated. He was removed by the
public printer because he had been dis
missed from the union. No charges were
made against him before the public printer
He himself says his real offense was that
he ordered the men under him to make
fourteen books daily, knowing they were
instructed by the union not to exceed ten
your fellowmembers.'
OF course in the case yet to be mad
against Miller by the union this charge Z
attempting to make the public money go
farther will not be included. 1t may be
grievous offense In the government print
ing office. where counting the cost of labor
is unknown, but 1t does not attain the dig
nifty or an appealing argument TO make
openly for dismissal of a government en-
ploye. Miller's opponents in the union from
which he has been suspended are bright
enough to see this.
The question arises whether the unioh
should be allowed now TO come before the
public printer or the President and make
an an amende9 To- complant The union chose
Miller. and its fault against Miller was
found valid by the complaisant public print
er. If it be permitted now to Shift its ground
and present a new list Of offenses against
Miller and Miller is finally discharged from
employment in the public printing office,
the fact will still remain that he is dis
missed for the reason that he Is not a
member of the local union of bookbinders;
because If he had not offended against the
union rules he would not have been barred
from the union at all-certainly not for the
new charges to be made, which inevitably
appear as afterthoughts. The members of
the local union wish to appear now in the
light they should first have appeared mas
asking the dismissal of a man for the good
of the service; for the benefit. in short, of
the public. Having elected TO try the case
on another and hollow issue, Ii seems to
that they are estopped from a second
attempt to be made on the grounds alto
eether different, and which everybody
knows do not embody his real offense I'm the
opinion of the union.

JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind, Aug. Ain
speaking OF the report OF Superintendent
Whitaker, of the Reformatory. in which
he called attention 10 some Of the mis-
doings at the institution under Mr.. Byers' 5
administration, the latter said: II agree
with Mr.. Whitaker that paroles should
not be granted because of personal or
political influence, but it is strange that
at the last session OF the board a prisoner
named Allenberg, who came from MIR.
Crittenberger's home, and who L recon-
mended should not be paroled, was given
his liberty because Of the personal influence
Of Mr.. Crittenberger. He appealed to the
other members of the board to let him
investigate Allenberg's case. and promised
to get letters in his behalf The board, in
stead of remanding the prisoner for six
months. as l recommended, granted Mr..
Crittenberger's request"
In referring to the portion of Mr. Whit
takers report in regard to former Steward
Jenner securing his living from the State.
Mr.. Byers said: II find that this arrange
ment had been made with Mr.. Jenner by
the board several years before L became
superintendent anu was III ieu oi dh III
crease in salary, which he deserved. There
has been no concealment of this, as Whit
taker tries to make it appear. The part OF
the report relating to it's physical condi-
ton and administrative reforms contains
nothing more than recommendations L have
made to Governor Durbin. called the Gov
ernor's attention 10 the need of better water
supply; TO the needs or improvements In

ecellhouses. ! deplore the system of the
lockstep, but the rules adopted by the
board require IL. My chief comfort in it all
is that the people of Indiana will under
stand the motives of the Governors and
Mr. Whittakcr's report, based on old
charges that occurred long before my time
as superintendent, and upon frivolous
Charges within my time, and will certainly
prevent further Misunderstanding"
