ON TEMPORARY WORK.
IRequisition by Public Printer for Fifty
Compositors

Public Printer Stillings has made requi-
stion on the civil service commission for
fifty compositors from the eligible list for
temporary work at the government print
ing office. 1t is explained that the emer-
gency call for printers was made necessary
by the rush of departmental work which is
always sent to the printery near the begin
ming of each fiscal year, which ends the
J0th of this month.
1t is understood that the fifty extras will
be given about ten days employment on
the annual reports of the executive depart
ments. Since the recent big discharge of
employees of the bindery and folding room
1t is said Mr.. Stillings has been besieged
by former employees who are seeking re-
employment. Up to this time, it is said he
has not been able to give the seekers any
encouragement as no appointments in the
divisions mentioned can be made at this
time.
