Cortelyou in regard to the case of AS
sistant Foreman w. A. Miller Of the
bindery in the government printing office,
said: 1T is, Of course, mere elementary
decency to require that all the govern
ment departments shall be handled In ao-
cordance with the principles thus clearly
and fearlessly enunciated.''
At the time this letter was written the
labor organizations failed to see It's ap-
plication to all the departments Of the
government. and were Immediately con-
cerned only with the case of Miller. They
hoped to quiet the storm that was brew
ing by an acquiescence In Miller's return
to employment and since then have re-
Trained from pushing the charges against
Miller.
President investigates.
President Roosevelt has been receiving
reports however, which indicated that
discrimination against persons not be-
longing to labor organizations was not
confined to the government printing
office and he determined upon thoro
investigation by the heads Of all the gov
eminent departments
He called into consultation Secretary
Cortelyou Of the department Of commerce
and labor, and later discussed the subject
with Secretary Moody Secretary Root,
Secretary Hitchcock and Postmaster Cen
eral Payne. There was a short confer
ence by some Of these cabinet officers and
they decided to order Investigations in
their respective branches of the govern
ment, to learn whether the practice has
been to refuse employment to persons not
connected with labor organizations. 1t
has developed that in many cases such
was the practice, it being generally UNDER
stood by some of the officials that only
to union men was employment to be
given.
Forblds Discrimination.
When the reports showing this condition
in some Of the departments were brought
| to the attention Of the president he i'm
mediately directed that the principle
enunciated by the coal strike commission
be rigidly adhered to by all officials. He
| instructed Secretary Moody to see that in
| all the navy yards employment Is refused
| to no man because he is not a member
| of a labor organization, tho at the same
| time If the union man desired, he could
| work alongside his non-unton brother

was learned to-day that the president now
| has under consideration the question Of
| extending the same policy to cover al
| government work.
This would mean that all the sl1ipyaro
work on government vessels could be per.
formed by either union or non-union mer

GERS that the president was determined
that in no obranch Of the government
shall there be any discrimination against
applicants for work by reason Of their not
being members Of q labor organization.
and that while he recognizes that the labor
may make serious oppose

all government work, he is determined to
see that 1t is enforced, any any person

dent showing that any official refused him

He Says the Charges Preferred Against
Him Are Too Absurd to Consider.
Washington, Aug. 1s.-The controversy
between the Bookbinders' union and Will
liam A. Miller. assistant foreman in the
government bindery. has broken out
afresh.
Monday Public Printer Palmer handed
Miller the charges preferred by the union.
Mr.. Miller was informed that he could
take the rest Of the week to reply but
he sent them back yesterday, with the
statement that they were made by ire
sponsible parties, based on hearsay and
were too absurd to consider. An official
said Miller's status is not likely to be dis
turbed.
It was learned that the charges were
mainly directed against Mr.. Millers per-
sonal character and acts said to have been
committed as far back as twenty-five
years ago.
