PUBLIC PRINTER GETS COPY

Announcement was made at the govern
ment printing office today that Public
Printer Stillings had received copy Of
the resolutions adopted at the meeting Sun
day of the local Typographical Union con-
demning his action in requiring proofread-
ers to pay for work which was damaged be-
cause of errors they had overlooked. Due
acknowledgment was made of the receipt
Of the communication. but, it is said. no
further action is contemplated at the pres
ent time.
The Department Of Justice has also re-
ceived a copy of the resolutions, and taken
note of the request that the Attorney Cen
eral give opinion concerning the legal
ity of the action of the public printer. The
resolution with the request will be for
warded to the Attorney General. who Is
now at Lenox, Mass.
1t is stated at the Department of Justice.
however. that the only answer that seems
possible to this request Is that under the
law the Attorney General can give opinions
on legal questions only when SO requested
by the President or the head of one of the
executive departments.
System at Engraving Bureau.
Following the frequently printed state
ment that similar system of timing en-
ployes for spoiled work obtained at the bu-
of printing and engraving. an inquiry
was made at the bureau by a representa-
tive of The Star this afternoon. Acting
Director J. E. Ralph said that the plate
printers are regularly allowed a spoilage OF
per cent. All of them are piece workers,
and If the spoilage by any one man Is
found to be in excess of per cent when
the totals are compared at the end or the
month. he is first paid at the same rate per
sheet as for good work, and then proper
tionate deduction is made SO that he re-
ceives no com pensaton for the excess of
spoilage. Mr.. Ralph said this system has
been in existence for many years ana II
has always been found to be satisfactory.
On the other hand, if a newly employed
workman because of a continued high pro-
portion of sheets spoiled. he does not re-
main long In the government service.
Satisfaction with the existing system in
the bureau was also expressed by William
Lessler, president Of Plate Printers Local
Union. No ..
I'VE are allowed per cent for spolage.
he said, land it may be that a man Will
run as high as 3. and 5 per cent for a
day or two but the saving on other days
when he falls below the limit is cumulative,
so that at the end of the month he will
almost invariably have a balance to his
credit.
II know that this same rule Is in effect in
other engraving plants throughout the
country. and 1 think there has never been
a complaint by the workmen when they
have been compelled to pay for pieces
which they have spoiled. In any event. the
deductions by the month are 80 small In
amount. even when they are made. that
no one could have serious grievance at
the vacancy in his pay envelope
