WORK AHEAD FOR PRINTERS.
g. P:o. Employees to Get Busy After
July l on Requisitions.

The government printing office is ex-
pected to have enough work to keep every
employe busy after July 1. 1t is stated
that with the acquisitions already re-
ceived effective on that date and those in
preparation in the departments there will
be renewed activity in the printery.
It is believed that leaves of absence and
Saturday half-holidays will fully compen-
safe for any slackness during the summer
months. The lack of copy will have re-
suited In a loss of from nine to twelve
days pay to the employees OF the COM
posing rooms II the furloughs continue
this month.
This Is the first time extensive furloush-
ing has been necessary in the big printery
since two years ago last fall At that
time campaign for retrenchment in the
public printing was being waged resulting
in each printer losing portion of the
accumulated leave of absence. Owing to
the fact that the taking of leave had
been forced this spring in an endeavor to
prevent furloughing. the pay envelopes
of the printers have been light for some
time.

PAPER ANO CANS ACCUMULATE
BENNING DUMP CLUTTERED UP
DUE TO TARIFF DELAY.
Purchasers Won't Pay High Prices
for Waste Material Pending
Action by Congress.

DELAY in action by Congress on the
tariff hill has produced huge piles uf
waste paper and tin cans al the Benning
dump
This does not mean that the congress
sional machine that grinds out legislation
has. during the last few months. literally
produced waste paper or that the result
of the action taken thus far is in the ma
ture of rubbish. But the fact remains
that there are two huge piles on the
Benning dump one of baled waste paper
and the other of old tin cans: and their
presence is directly attributed 10 delay
in action on the tariff bill.
The relation between the two is not far
fetched either The piles are the natural
result of the delay
Awaits Action by Congress.
4 few days ago Commissioner West and
Supt. Wood of the street cleaning de-
partment visited the dump near Benning.
Commissioner West was surprised to find
a large accumulation of waste paper and
tin cans; and he instructed Suot Wood to
investigate. Then il was discovered that
the removal of the waste paper awaits
the action of Congress on the tariff bill.
Ordinarily thirty Of forty bales Of waste
paper are shipped from the dump every
day. The paper market Is decidedly of,
il is found and the reason is, the pur-
chasers of waste paper say, because they
do not know what action Congress will
take on the tariff affecting paper. They
are unwilling to pay high price for such
paper while the tariff questions remain
unsettled So with tin cans.
Therefore,, the waste paper and tin cans
are accommodating on the dump; and more
will be added every day that the debate
on the tariff continues
