TO REGULATE OVERTIME.
Transfer of Incompetent @. P. o. En-
ployes Also Forbidden.

Two matters of administrative policy
have recently been settled at the govern
ment printing office by the issuance Of
orders dealing with overtime and the
transfer Of employees from one section to
another. To prevent violations of the eight
hour day hereafter foremen and chiefs in
charge of the work must make applica-
ton in writing through their immediate
superors to the ranking officer on duty
for permission to work more than the law
full day. If, the application Is approved
1t constitutes the authority for payment
pay for work which has not been ap-
cluded in the order, however, and they
whenever the Office requires their services
similar to the precedence established by
the different departments.
By another order officials are required to
take the responsibility of submitting state
ments of such employees who are thought
to be under the average in workmanship
or conduct rather than transferring them
to another jurisdiction whenever the OPP
portunity offers. 1t is stated by old-timers
that certain incompetent or undesirable
employees have openly boosted of their
pull" and are said to have frequently
remarked that II the foreman did not
like their style he could transfer them"
which action usually followed from one
division to another. An official GO the
office stated today that there has been
decided reduction in the number of ''un-
desirables' in the past year.

RUMoRS REGARDING STILLINGS.
Public Printer, However, Insists He
Will Retain the Position.

Word has been received from Oyster Bay
that Public Printer Stillings was there
Tuesday but did not see the President, as
the latter was too busy. Mr.. Stillings, who
went to 1.-The bay in his automobile had
a conference with Secretary Loeb.
The public printer denied the story that
he was to be asked to resign his portfolio.
and said he knew there were some sore
heads in the printery who would no doubt
like to see him out. but he promised to dis
appoint them
Another report was in circulation here
today to the effect that Representative
James Sherman Of New York. who is at
the head Of the congressional campaign
committee of the republican party. had
also journeYed to Oyster Bay and advised
the President that it would be in the best
interest Of the party that Mr.. Stillings
should be removed. owing to the alleged
opposition Of organized labor to him and
his methods. He Is said to have limited
that the political campaign Is nearly on
and that organized labor will poll a big
vote.
The report could not be verified. and Of
fcials of the printery still maintain that
there is nothing in the resignation or re-
moval stories.

"It will never do to keep thsn both;

Don't cry, my dear" to tiny Bess,
"Ore kittens enough to keep;
Now run to nurse, for it's growing

And time you we're fast asleep.

From the rocking chair where she
