James Y Of Scotland and Mary Of Ggise

descent admits Of no doubt. The two
daughters are Of the same blood as Mary,
Queen Of Scotland Mr- WalpoTte is a
descendant through his mother Of the
first earls Of Athol and Of the house Of
Hamilton. and is therefore one of the
descendants Of the royal family Of Scot

mother Of the first duke of Athol, he de
scends from Mary Tudor. the sister o.

Mrs. Walp0rte is the only surviving
daughter of Lamoral Guild 'Egmont and

By the dismissal yesterday OF 2o4 en-

Printer Stillings made what he announced
will probably be the last general reduC-
tion in the force Of the Government Print

men and los women. Though rumors Of
the dismissal have been current for some
time the receipt Of the envelope announc-
ing that their services would no longer be
required came as a blow 10 the employees
and many pathetic scenes were witnessed
Lack of work is given by the Public
Printer as the reason for the wholesale
dismissal From the outlook Of the work
now in sight and drawing deductions from
past experiences, he says that the force is
now normal.
Thirteen clerks of the recording division
of the General Land Office were yesterday

ems TO Take the Matter Before
President Roosevelt.

James L. Feeney. president Of the Book
binders Union. made a bitter attack on
Public Printer SUlllngs before the Central
Labor Union last night MI Feeney's
expressions met with approval by ali the
delegates present
II was alleged that the Public Printer
was unfriendly 70 organized labor. and
that all the big discharges az the Govern
ment Printing Office had. in a sense. been
nothing more or less than an attack
upon the unions. It was set forth that
all the officers Of the Bookbinders' Union
working AZ the printerv were included in
those Of the discharged. This policy, Mr.
Feeney said. had been consistently pur-
sued by Mr.. StlIings ever since he as
sumed the Office Not only the officers,
but every man Of the arbitration commit
tee Of the Bookbinders' Union. which is
practically the executive board was dis
charged. as was also every man on the
committee recently appointed to visit the
President and lay before him the condi-
tons nj the Government Printing Office.
The bookblnders. il was said, were not the
only ones to suffer in this respect. that

and efficient men IN the Government

stated. IT was difficult 20 get officers, as
the men were reluctant 70 serve when II
meant their bread and butter to do so.
Mr.. Feeney announced his intention Of
making the fight against the Public
Printer a political one. and 20 push It to
the very limit. He proposed II there was
no change In the situation by next Mon
day night % ask the Central Labor Union
