'..Gwlne Back Home"


some one began crying and an
excitement was raised among the
passengers. A brief investigation
proved that it was an old colored
man who was giving way to his
grief. Three or four people re-
marked on the strangeness of 1t,
but for some time no one said any
thing to him. Then a depot po-
liceman came forward and took
him by the arm, and shook him
roughly and said:
"See here, old man, you want
to quit that! You are drunk, and
if you make any more disturbance
I'll lock you up!"

replied the old man, as he re-

Under the appropriation for public
printing and binding. 1905 the available
funds amounted to $3.50, 7o5.O3. and the
expenditures to February Is, 1908. were
81, $40. 1891. The probable expenditure

been estimated to be S2.OO6.O41. 30. The

One of the companies originally asked to

At the request of President Roosevelt
Charles A. Stillngs yesterday rendered
his resignation as public printer. It was
accepted, to take effect Immediately.
Last evening Chairman Lands of the
House printing committee. made public
the report of William s. Rossiter on con-
ditions in the government printing Office
under the Stillings regime. The substance
of the report will be used by the commit
tee in continuing its inquiry.
Mr.. Lands Statement.
Mr.. Lands also made the following
statement at the time of giving out the
Rossiter document:
mo more glaring example of official
improperly has recently come to my
notice than the methods and practices of
the Audit System as revealed in this in
quiry. Identified it was with the af-
fairs of administration in the government
printing office, it invited suspicion and
destroyed whatever usefulness it might
have otherwise had the moment it be-
came known to the employees that 1t was
interested in the purchase of supplies for
the office. If the managers OF the Audit
System were not competent to grasp this
situation, they were not competent to
undertake the responsible duties which
they were employed to perform-employed
under what was probably the most re-
munerative contract ever entered into by
any like concern or for a similar service
in the entire history Of cost accounting.
1t ia difficult to imagine anything more
demoraliZtng to government establish
.ment than the operations of the Audit
System as applied to the government
printing Office.
lit is sincerely to be hoped that tran
quillity and organized efficiency will fol-
low the period of turmoil and affection
which has for many months characterized
the government printing office. There is
no great industrial establishment in the
| world in which the standards of efficiency
and intelligence and manhood are higher.
and it is folly to assume that the office
cannot be operated without friction and
with freedom from even the breath of
| Scandalp

Labor Leaders Elated.

Labor Leaders Elated.
The labor leaders of Washington who
were interviewed today by Star reporter
were much elated over the resignation
of Charles A. Stillngs as public printer.
They are also concerned over the appoint
ment of his successor. 1t was the opin-
ion of all that the place should go to a
| member of organized labor. One of the
principal reasons advanced for this is
that Mr.. Stillngs was the candidate OF
the United Typothetae of America. COM
posed of employing printers, and they be-
lieve that as he failed to make good,
as one of them expressed it, member
of the typographical. the bookbinders' or
the presSmen'S unions should be given a
trial at the public Partnership.
These leaders have without exception
said that the final resignation of Mr..
Stillings and the ousting Of the Audit Sys-
tenn was brought about by The Stars
warfare for better conditions and sane
methods of administration at the printery.
"'The Star certainly took the initiative
and fired the first shots for reform in the
government printing Office said Mr.. T..
M. Ring. publisher of the Trades Unionist
and a leading member of Columbia Typo
graphical Union, land the shots were hot
ones The Trades Unionist next took up
the matter, following the lead of The
Star. and then the labor unions got busy.
Next other newspapers came into the
fight, and the victory was won, all helping
toward the contamination. Trades union
lists are certainly gratifed by the stand

lieve in giving credit where it is due.

the generally bad methods employed in

facts as shown up by The STAR he said,
brought about the investigation. with the
final result that Stillings went out and
let US hope a better system will be in
augurated at the works" The articles in

that the management of the office was bad

general overhauing and house cleaning at
the government printing office.

as the Audit SYSTEM partnership

ing system in the government printing Of

president and general manager, and J. r.
Handy, secretary and treasurer Mr.
Raynor. however, appears to be prac-
tically all there is to the Audit System
The persons operating the Audit Sys-
.em formed two subsidiary paper COM
Danies, the Audit System Supplies Com
paly and the Suffolk Distributing Com
pany.' From these companies the public
printer made purchases aggregating
s., S47.2O.
THE actual cost of installing the audit
cost system, including the inventory and
much of the material and accessory ex-
penses as can be clearly attributed to
the uAdit System operations. was S1:iS 10.
approximately $4,000 appears to have
been saved by the Pre- Sidents order to
terminate the contract.
"The total expense OF installing a cost
system in large plant varies from SlD.-
VU to $4,000. and would seldom exceed
$50. 600. and this figure Is considered as
an extreme maximum. After inspecting
the government printing Office members
of two Of the most important firms of
public accountants in this country state
that they would not hesitate to accept a
contract to systematic the establishment
