Lacked Experience Necessary TO Steer
Printing Details in Clos
ing Rush.

There is an impression at the Capitol
now that things have simmered down
a bit following the ebullition of ad-
JOurnment griefs. that If an investiga-
tion is made. thorough and detailed
under the Hale resolution, the joke will
he on Senator Hale.
The Senator from Maine was acting
chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee in the closing weeks OF the ses-
sion. Senator Allison. who for many
years has managed this business, went
home some DAYS before the end. The
guiding hand that had held the rudder
steady through the rocks and shoals
OF adjournment experiences in previous
sessions was missed. Senator Hale.
with all his intimate knowledge OF
legislative detail, lacked experience in
the business of cooperating with the
Printing Once in harmonizing the
work Of conference committees. legis-
lative bodies. enrolling forces. and
printers.
Very Intricate Machinery.
II requires no mean order Of execu-
tive ability TO handle such a complica-
tion of affairs so skillfulIy and ex-
peditiously that Congress never as
a whole before quite realized that a
very intricate machine was working on
ball bearings. II was only when sand
got thrown into the works that Con
gress discovered that there was any
machinery there.
Such inquiry as has been made
at the Printing Office has apparently
given confidence that investigation viii

more experienced manager of the
appropriations work. i'm short, would
not have permitted Congress TO get the
idea that it was going to adjourn soon
after noon Saturday. He would have
known, from the status of the public
building and general deficiency bills,
that this was impossible. and would
have made a better guess at the hour
of adjournment. Then the statesmen
would not have made the mistake of
getting an ready 10 leave town on the
afternoon trains Saturday, and there
would have been no keen disappoint-
ment over he failure.
The general deficiency bill could not
be made up till the total of the public
building bill was known. and there was
conference after conference on the
public building bill before that total
could be secured. The Printing Office
does some rather remarkable perform
anccs. when il is helped along in pre-
pairing bills before they are passed: but
TO do this requires the direction of a
very wise and experienced manager at
the Capitol end. Senator Allison knows
all the tricks of the trade. But with

ate, and a new and inexperienced ap-
preparations chairman in the House. it
was small wonder that things got q
trife tangled. This at any rate. is the
explanation offered at the Capitol.
