DISMISS 2O4
FROM BINDERY
OF THE c. P.O,
Lack of Work Given AS
Reason for Wholesale
Reduction.

Another serious blow fell in Gov
eminent Printing Office circles this
morning when Public Printer Still
ings issued an order dropping 2O4
employees in the pamphlet binding
division and other divisions of the
bindery. OF the dismissed employees
seventy-six are men and 12S women.
The scenes of distress which fol
lowed the announcement of the It'd
ings rivaled those of a few weeks
ago, when 1O2 men and 1O2 women
were dismissed from the bindery on
the same grounds, insufficient work
TO keep them busy.
Work Didn't Come In.
For two weeks or more there have
been rumors Of the approaching dis
mssal of a large number of employees
but this hint did not lessen in any de-
gree the bitterness Of the blow when
it fell.
The Public Printer says that the piece
hands have had very little 10 do ana
the bookbinders have been furloughed
TOR three and six days at a time. Inc
work did not come in from the Depart
ments, however. and a further reduc-
ton was found to be necessary.
Public Printer Stillings today gave
out the following statement:
Because of the continued railing on
in the volume of work In the bindery
division of the Government Printing or
fee, the Public Printer has again been
forced to make a reduction in the force,
and has today dropped from the rolls
because OF lack OF work, seventy-siN
men and lbs women in the pamphlet
binding division and other divisions OF
the bindeTy.
Last General Dismissal"
THE Public Printer said today thai
this would be probably the last general
dismissal. and from the outlook OF the
work in sight. and drawing deductions
from past experiences the force is nov

The Public Printer mentioned that
while the first editions of the annual re
ports OF the several Government de-
partments were not quite so large, be
cause Of the amendments 20 the print
ing laws, the size Of the volumes hal

This summary Of the significance Of
the Hartman problem, 1t may be well

special attorney for Mr.. Hartman II is
a suggestion of the view which has been
receiving serious consideration by the
President and the members OF the In

men have no affection for Hartman.
They know more intimately than per
haps anybody else the dangers and the
wrongs Of the Hartman methods Of
manipulation. But they are also look
ing forward 70 the possibility that the
remedy might prove worse than the dis
ease.
These aspects are receiving the atten-

THE Anniversary
Of BUNKER HILL
Its Observance by the Hawaiian
Society, S. A. R.---Wisdom
of Washington.

Today is the 132nd anniversary of
the Battle of Bunker HILL On June II,
1775, occurred that great event in
American history and all over the
Eastern States it is celebrated by that
patriotic organization, the Sons of the
American Revolution Locally it has
always been the especial day set aside
for the congratulation of that esteem
ed citizen, Peter Cushman Jones, whose
ancestor Captain Isaac Baldwin served
his country in twenty battles fought
against the French and Indians, and
as soon as he heard of the battles of
Lexington and Concord formed a com
pany of volunteers in HillsborOugh,
New Hampshire, and hastened to the
front. At the battle of Bunker Hill
he fell mortally wounded at the head
of his company. His name appears on
the Bunker Hill bronze tablet facing
Winthrop Square, Boston.
The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution will be held at the head
quarters of the society, room 81. Young
building, at 7:3O this evening. A com
mittee will be appointed to attend the
meeting of citizens called for next

At HIGH TIDE
The Influx of Aliens Becomes
a Problem for Serious
Consideration.

The announcement that during the
month of April 13S, ASP immigrants came
through the gateway Of New York and
that in a single day of this month FIVE
transatlantic steamers brought more
than 5000 aliens would seem to indicate
that the United States is on the crest
of one OF the greatest waves Of i'm
migration IL has ever known. When
the commissioner general Of immigra-
tion. Frank Sargent. published his re-
port for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1906. last January. showing that the
population Of the United states during
this period was increased LOO. 535 by
aliens. prominent thinkers
all over the country raised a cry Of
alarm. The increase over 1905 was
called forth the protest had II not been
with a table Of statistics prov
ing that the physical and mental quail
ity of the aliens was much below that
Of those who have come In former
years. If the publishing OF the COM
missioner generals report could raise
such an outcry. what will these later
statistics call forth?
The liberal thinkers agree that the
worst thing that could happen TO any
new country would be

tions who for good reason desire 70

In memory of Brother A. M. Mellis,
Brother L. L. La Pierre said:
Brother Mellis, from January 81,
1882, was a faithful member of Excel
sior Lodge until October 16, 1906, when
he was called to join the grand lodge
where the Father awaited him as He
awaits all of US. He was a good Odd
Fellow. I mean by that that he lived

He was a friendly friend. He loved
his lodge and it's duties were a pleasure
to him.
"In the great seal of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge occur these words: We
command you to visit the sick, relieve
the distressed; bury the dead; educate
the orphans That command Brother
Mellis obeyed in promptness and zeal.
That he was constant in visiting the
sick, know; that he relieved distress,
there is abundant evidence; he re-
sponded when called on to assist in the
burial of the dead; he was ready and
helpful in aid to the orphan.
These are only a few things that
might be said in eulogy and praise of
Brother Me1lis. He was an honor to
the order
The address of the day was delivered
by Brother E. Farmer. He said in
part:
During the past year we have ex-
perienced many of the pleasures Of life.
We have met together in the lodge
room and enjoyed the association with
our brethren. Why should we lay
aside these joys and satisfactions to
ponder on things that inevitably give
rise to thoughts of sadness?
rs it not proper that, on one day |
in the year at least, we should devote |
an hour to the memory of those whose |
joyed? He who buries a friend and |
never afterward devotes thought to |
his memory, is devoid of soul, and his |
friendship is a selfish pretence.
.Evade it as we may try, hide it as
we may seem to do, the inevitable fact
5tares us in the face that with birth
comes mortality and that all must die.
It is therefore not only the brave thing

svitable and facing it calmly and with
courage, so adjust our lives to this
