I'm Printers strike Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Pat the instance
Of the President. Civil Service Commissions
Cooley ia making an inquiry into charges
that Willis l.. Moore, chief OF the Weather
Bureau, made efforts to compel printers
employed in the bureau to contribute 10
per cent. OF their salaries 10 the strike fund
of the typographical union. II is alleged
that Prof. Moore thus violated a rule laid
down by the President when he reinstated
W. A. Miller, the bookbinder in h Govern
ment printing office who was dismissed
because OF Miller's suspension from the
Bookbinders' Union.
The reinstatement Of Miller made the
Government Printing ONCE an open shop"
and it is alleged by labor leaders that since
then the unions have had little or no stand
ing with the Government. Last June.
il appears, Prof. Moore was informed by an
officer Of the Typographical Union that
five Of the printers in the Weather Bureau
were in arrears in their contributions to
the strike fund.
The men are: s. s. Estes, Tennessee
william B.. Green, Maryland; B. @. Cooper.
Pennsylvania; @. F. Won OstermAn, Mary
land and H. G.. Smith, North Carolina. It 10
charged that they were summoned to the
Office of Prof. Moore and hat he admins
tered a severe reprimand to them for their
neglect to pay the strike assessments to the
union. Excuses were offered by the men.
but were not considered adequate by the
head OF the bureau.
Prof. Moore was at one time q printer and
has taken the oath Of the union. The mat
ter was brought to the attention Of the
President by Cooper, one Of the Weather
Bureau p~rinters.

already accepted NJ. Clemsnceau's invita-

His appointment. whether inAl or not,
Is certainly one Of the most remarkable

Six months ago PicQuart was paying the
penalty Of his efforts on behalf OF his perse<
Cuted comrade by exclusion from the army,
with hardly q chance Of reinstatement. His
recent restoration and subsequent promo
ton are still fresh In evcrybody's memory
M. Clemenoeau and Gen. PicquArt have

make him the Official arbiter OF the fate Of
the men who comparatively recently de-
prived him Of his military rank. Many Of
M. Clemenoeau's friends do not approve
Of It, fearing another breaking out Of old

rankles In many memories, and the fact
that he exposed certain prominent men Of

Man Gives I'd In Despair

Special Cable Despatch to TIE SUN.
BERLIN, Oct. 22.-The simple life has
proved too complex for a group Of German
authors. painters and philosophers who
tried to follow it on the Island of Kabakon,
In the Bismarck Archipelago. They were
eager to start life afresh under physical
conditions approximating those Of print
tive man, and they formed a colony under
the name Of Sun Brothers, in allusion to
their wish to enjoy permanent sun baths
in the costume Of Adam. Their food was
to be limited TO nuts and fruit, and their
labor was to consist Of tilling the land and
tending herds.
The enterprise proved a. brief as IL was
simple. Herr Lutzow, an author, and Herr
Engelhardt. q philosopher, died from the
combined result, Of exposure from not
wearing clothes and exhaustion from an
inadequate diet. The natives killed Herr
Bettman, a philosopher. The others have
returned In despair to civilization.
