ASK FOR JUSTICE
NEGRO BISHOP MAKES AN AP-

NEW YORK. October 6.--Bshop A. Wal

lean council. today issued a call to the
churches for colored people throughout the
country appointing Sunday, October Z. a
day Of prayer In his call the bishop de-
clared:
I'm these days, when SO many men OF
power and influence. aided by a prejudicial
press, are using their Office of trust and
honor to degrade and destroy ten million
American citizens, and the greater major
ity Of sixty million people look on in ST.
lence, it is time for the ten million thus OPP
pressed to rise in their own defense"
Colored citizens are asked to pray that
justice be done to all the people in all the
states: that the golden rule be not revoked
righteousness, industry, intelligence. hon.
esty and integrity. and insist upon the
same rights vouchsafed to citizens Of like
character of any race and color; that the
country may rid itself of race prejudice
the American heart disease-and that the
statute books upon which are written in

records containing entries Of unfair deci-
sions of judges and juries be burned, and

G.P. o. HOUSEClEANING
INSPECTION DIVISION BEGINS
INVENTORY OF MATERIAL.

Fall housekeeping has commenced at
the government printing Office. and as a
starter the inspection division is under or
ders to take an inventory Of all material
and supplies in storage. 1t has been the
practice to store material Of all .Inds In
the basement when not required for the
regular operation of the plant, 1t Is sa1d
and that is the scene of operations at pres
ent. When the last new dress of type
was purchased several years ago the old
material was added to the vast accamula-
ton on hand, and from this scrap heap
the Office expects to realize about 100000
ment of the new building to. the space
formerly occupied by the first and second
divisions in the old printing office and
placed in convenient shape for inspection
by prospective bidders.
The exhibit being prepared by the inspec-
ton division will make an interesting sight
for printers. Tables are piled high with
pages of type, type boxes containing pi,
slugs. sorts and other topographic material
are disposed everywhere, and sort fonts and
cabinets are full to overlooking. Every ex-
ilibit as installed is labeled with the name,
weight and size of the various type or ma
terial. When the ''housecleaning' is COM
pleted 1t Is estimated that the largest dis
play of secondhand type ever seen in this
country will be on exhibition.
The collection will include several print,
ing presses and other machinery not fitted
for the rapid work of the office. Mechani-
cal energy is being used as never before.
1t is said, with the result that several pieces
of machinery not fitted for govern
mental printing will be disposed of. The
use of typesetting machines has also been
a factor in releasing large quantities of old
type. which was kept In storage for use
on publications which required the type to
be kept standing" for a long period Of
time.
1t is said at the big printery that this is
but the starting point Of the activity Of the
inspection sdivision, the overhauling Of the
plate vault being next on the docket.
