GET OUT, PALMER
Public Printer Tries
Roosevelt Too Far.
His Effort to Kick Two F0remen Out o
the Office, Brings Request
for His Own Resig-
nation.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 5.-Public Prn-
ter F. w. Palmer practically has been
ousted from office. 1t was learned
authoritatively tonight that President
Roosevelt had demanded Mr.. Pal
mer's resignation. to tafie effect on the
18th instant.
The demand of the President for
Mr.. Palmer's resignation was due pri-
marily to the latter's action in trying
to force Oscar p. Ricketts, and l.. G..
Hay out of the government printing
office. Mr.. Palmer asked for the re-
signations of Ricketts, and Hay on the
ground that they had been insubordi-
nate. The public printer formulated
charges against the two men These
charges, it is known, were forwarded
to Oyster Bay.
AS soon as President Roosevelt
learned of the situation that had de-
veloped he directed Public Printer Pal
mer to forward to him his resignation,
to take effect in two weeks
The investigation made by the Keep
Commission disclosed a serious con-
dition of affairs in the management of
the office. Prominent men in the of
flee force were divided into cliques,
detrimental to the interests of the gov
eminent. The evidence created much
bitter feeling among the men holding
high positions in the office. One of
the direct results of this feeling was
the demand made by Public Printer
Palmer for the designations of Rick
taas and Hay. AS the Keep Commits
sion inquiry, so far as known, develop
ed nothing to the disadvantage Of
Ricketts, or Hay. the President took
the whole matter out of Palmer
hands.
A successor to Palmer has not been
selected.

Workers Will Make.
fBy the Associated Press

Philadelphia, Sept. 5.-John Mitch
ell. president of the United Nine
Workers of America was in this city
today. 1t can now be stated on the
highest authority that the convention
of anthracite miners which Will draft
new demands for presentation to the
coal companies on the expiration OF
the strike commission award on April
Il next, will be held in Shamokin. be-
tween December S and 10. 1t was
learned here today that the December
convention at Shamokin will make the
following demands:
First-A recognition of the miners
union by the coal operators. the recog-
milton to take the form Of signed
agreement.
Second-The substitution of an
eight hour work day for the nine
hour work day awarded by the strike
commission. which is now in force
throughout the hard coal fields.
Third-An increase in pay over the
minimum wages now paid ~ members
who are not contract miners. but the
generally classed as unskilled labor
Fourth-Uniform scale of wages for
workers, not actually miners. at all
GOLFERS.
The contract miners number about
80, 900 i'm the total of lao. 900 hard coal
workers in and about the mines. LII
the ShamOkln convention nhtdlnS coil
essions as outlined in the foregoing
schedule of demands it would mean
large additional expenditures by the
coal companies, annually in increased
wages.
Mr.. Mitchell made no secret Of his
intention to back up with his influence
the demands for the recognition of the
union and an eight hour work day.
"Union can only repeat" said Mr..
Mitchell, what / said in my Tamaaua

that lasting peace in the hard coal
fields can only be had through the
recognition of the union and an eight
hour work day."
Mr.. Mitchell said he did not think
the miners had been getting their
share of the prosperity accruing to
the operators on the advance in the
price of coal following the award OF

several miles from the city, died after
an attack of yellow fever of a pro-

with the vigorous precautions that
have been taken to exclude even sus-

of the local board not to quarantine
