REDUCTION OF FORCE
FIFTY BINDERS IN GOVERNMENT
PRINTERY FURLoUGHED.

1t was learned on good authority last
night that about fifty employees of the
oindery of the government printing office
will be furioughed tomorrow or Tuesday.
Ii was explained that this temporary reduc-
ton of the force was rendered necessary
because of the slackness of work in that
department.
The investigation OF the several govern
ment departments by Congress has resulted
In the holding up of much of the work that
was heretofore sent to the printery about
this time Of the year. Then, TOO, the
Presidents demand for the elimination of
much of the departmental printing that is
considered as comparatively useless has
also been factor In causing shortage of
work for the government printing Office
Referring to the coming furloughs Mr.
Charles a. Stillings. the public printer
said to a Star reporter last night that Il
win be due absolutely to the slaekness of
work. He added that he had cleaned up
all the reserve work, and the putting off
of the employees is necessary He will ap-
portion the furloughs among the men and
women of the bindery so that the loss of
time will be equalized as far as possible

REGULATION OF MOTORS
SIoNERs' NEW BILL.

Much interest is being manifested by both
automobile owners and drivers and by driv-
ers of horses In the provisions OF the pro-
posed bill submitted to Congress by the
Commissioners Friday, as was exclusively
noted In The Star that day, and many read
ers of The Star story called at the District
building yesterday to consult with the Com
missioners concerning the scope of the
measure. To each 1t pointed out that
one OF the chief purposes of the projected
statute TO secure congressional sane
ton Of existing police regulations and to
give the regulations the fun force and er-
feet of law"
The penalty clause aroused considerable
comment, but 1t has developed that It very
nearly, II not quite, meets the ideas or
members Of the Washington Automobile
Club and others interested. as expressed at
a hearing before the board of Commission
ers few days ago Their objection to the
Sims BILL which was up for discussion at
that time, was that its provision for i'm
pr!sonment Of person convicted upon a
second offense was mandatory. Imprison-
ment in some cases was regarded as prob
ably necessary In the interest of safety TO
the public and the wishes of the automo-
bilists have been met in that respect BIZ the
phrasing of the last part of section = OF
the Commissioners bill, which reads:
For conviction Of the violation of any
regulation or regulations limiting speed
there shall be imposed for the first offense
fine or not less than So nor more than $50.
for the second offense fine of not less
than $50 nor more than 500 or imprison-
ment not exceeding thirty days; and for the
third offense a fine of not less than $50 and
not more than $3.50 or Imprisonment for not
less than ten days nor more than one year"
To dispel uncertainty regarding the last
clause, which provides "for the revocation
of the license or permit granted to owners
or operators Of automobiles whenever said
owners or operators shall have been con-
victed in the Police Court OF violating the
regulation or regulations pertaining to the
limit of speed, whenever such revocation in
the Judgment of the Commissioners shall be
In the interest of public safety" 1t was
stated at the District building today that
any person whose license or permit had
been declared forfeited under this law and
who again appeared on the streets oper-
ating motor car would be amenable to
prosecution under the police regulation,
which specifies a fine of $40 for operating
without such authorization.
