VETERANS IN THE G. P. 0.
Protest Against Proposed Cut in Pa
of Watch Force.

Of Watch Force.
Editor The Washington Herald.
The number of veterans on the watch
force Of the Government Printing Office
is some sixty or seventy. Years ago they
were generously placed there and are
stun retained-their right earned on many
battIehelds during the stirring days OF
lS5l-t5
This force is diviGed into three rcliefs-
the first from s to 4, the second from .
10 T.. the third from L TO s. The men are,
as they were in the army, faithful To
their trusts Their duties are arduous,
more so perhaps than those of any other
force in the government service. These
men have under their care the buildings.
and plates and printing material generally
of the largest printing establishment IN
the world
These veterans serve 80 days in the
year with no sick leave. no holidays. no
sundays. no days OFF. They are excep-
tionaI. it is understood. III these respects
Hitherto the members OF the day force
received Sz5 per day. and those Of the
night force were given the same pay
with 20 per cert additional. With these
additional allowances. the pay for the
three reliefs was respectively So. S2.54.
and $40 per day. So long as this cOndi-
ton existed no complaint was heard
Recently. however. "a new order Of
things has been instituted. IN making his
estimates and recommendation for the
future. the Government Printer. Mr.. Still
ngs. has placed all these watchmen
under a common salary Of 500 per year.
Now. let us do little 'hggerin'."
Formerly, by working at night every day
in the year and counting overtime, one
of these veterans received an annual al
lowance Of SsS2. OF a daily compensation
of $264 BY this new adjustment, ne will
get S720-a straight loss Of s262 per year
His daily compensation has been reduced
from S2.H to $1.95, difference Of % cents
per day. His compensation now is less
per day than that of the eommonest
laborer I'm the G. p -, and not aided by
any reduction of duty or extension Of
privileges

that can be done 20 aid that issue.
Then. when New Mexico is landed iu
the fold safely, let Arizona grid up
her loins and go after statehood upon
her W account, with two senators
and a couple OF congressmcn from the
state of New Mexico 20 help her. Two
statehood bills before the coming con-
gress might lead To complications that
would defeat statehood for either ter
ritory. Don't forget that the senate
committee On territories Is inimical 10
separate statehood for the two terri
tories. And with two bills. for adj
mission of both Arizona and New Mex
leo, there might be a move IN that
committee to amend by joining tho
two In such a way that the question
of iointure would be up again, If a
bill so amended should go up to the

and force again the issue OF iointure,
