PRESIDENT J0HNSoN'S VIEW
Printers Think That Men Must Go If
the Machines Are
Put In.

In view Of the positive announcement
made IN The Times that Public Printer
Palmer had ordered typesettIng ma
chimes for the Government Printing Of

Government and typographical union Oh
this point Will be revived. at a regular
meeting of Columbia Typographical
Union to be held this afternoon.
President Joe Johnson. of this union.
stated the position Of the printers yes
terday afternoon. when he said that the
men saw a considerable decrease in the
force threatened. If the mechanical type
setting machines were installed alto
gether. 1t is their evident belief. he
says. that machines will be put in
throughout the Government Printing Of
fee. doing away with the old method OF
setting type by hand.
Johnson n-Committal.
Il cannot say we intend TO take any
action. however" said Mr.. Johnson.
Perhaps the matter may not ever be
discussed at the meeting.
The printers are ~undeniably gravely
concerned. The argument that the
greater the speed obtained I'm setting
type the greater the volume Of business
does not apply TO the Government Print
ing Office. where the quantity Of work to
be done = limited.
With a private corporation It, per-
haps. would not mean that the force
was TO be cut down. AS a machine rep

settlers. necessarily. II appears as II
many men must go. should the Govern
ment put in these machines altogether.
In the Nature of a Test.
The present intention. from what 1
understand. is that about fifty h be
put In at the present time. The union
does not make any formal objection on
this point. 1t is. in fact. in the nature
Of q test"
The printers, as a rule. are taking a
very conservative position, not caring
to come out as active opponents OF mod
ern machinery. A number OF those en-
ployed in the Government Printing Of

strongly about the change. The nation

even ascer;ained the rate of cost attach

PROTEST OF MANUFACTURES

according to admission made to the

lary Rodrick. Of the Board OF Educa-
non. there is at least one article on the
Hst OF furniture to be bought b. the
district on competitive bid that Is 50

thorities have in mind the goods of one

The charge was made some days ago
by f. T.. J.. Taylor, southern manager
Of the Library Bureau. that the prop
cry clerk. in specifications governing
bids for the fling cabinet n equip
ment put in such particular descriptions
of the article that 1t was known before
hand to whom the contract would go.
He claimed this kept any other firm
from bidding for the contract and put
competition out Of the question.
One Make Described.
1T is true" says Mr.. Rodrick. las
stated by Mr.. Taylor. that the within
specifications describe the goods OF a
particular manufacturer. because the
stack WAS found to be especially adapt
ed TO our purposes. 1t is necessary to
describe the article in detail when max.
ing acquisitions for such supplies"
The explanation mad TO come from the
Board OF Education. The property clerk
said he had lone nothing but send out
descriptions furnished him by the
board.
Mr.. Taylor said the article was so
specifically described that a difference

The Washington times., 1904-06-19

At the close OF the month of April
there were 800 such cases pending. but
the bureau has little hope Of a differing
issue. And the worst OF It is. should
the Government win. the Chinaman has
the right of appeal to the United States
courts; but should the Chinaman win.
the Government has no appeal.
A peculiar phase OF the existing i'm

recently been called TO the attention OF

Chinese Seamen.

AS a result the practice is prevalent
to employ Chinese seamen on the Pa
cifc to the almost entire exclusion Of
American labor. On this point the Com
missioner General says:
Usually the sole obstacle 10 securing
American seamen is that it costs more
tina alien labor IN the same line. In
such cases 1t cannot reasonably be con-
tended that our merchant marine stands
I'm this respect upon any other or diff
ferent footing from that occupied by our
numerous and meritorious industries"
He, therefore, hopes for a revision Of
the law 10 cover this defect. and an
other to permit TO the Government the
right OF appeal from decisions Of the

Mr. Waite says the double tracking OF
the Southern Railway Is going bravely
on through his county, and Incidentally
has largely increased the criminal eH-
