Warned.
NAMES OF THREE
SENT TO MacVEAGH
Suspension and Reduction In
Salary Announced for Seven
Found Guilty.

Backed by a letter from Secretary
MacVeagh, who approved of the sus-
pension of seven employees because
they had been conducting a so-called
loan shark" business in connection
with their bureau duties, Director
Ralph circulated the information at the
Bureau OF Printing and Engraving t.
day that such practices in the future
would be met by instant dismissal.
I'm the case of these seven en-
ployes," said Director Ralph today,
''suspensions will have the same moral
effect as dismtssals might have had.
/ believe that the action taken will
end all money-lending practices, of an
Improper character, at this bureau"

to Secretary MacVeagh the names OF
three additional alleged loan sharks"
who are also slated for a suspension.
Among the number is said to be a wom-
an. The names of these three addi-
tional bureau money-lenders will not
be made public until the Secretary has
approved of the recommendations OF
the Director
vi the seven ultIl SuSlSllhSu, lllC OPCl
ations of six were discovered as the re-
suit of the Waple case. William Waple,
jr., a bureau emplOye, confessed that he
had to resort to forgery in order to es-
cape the houndings Of loan sharks.
when Director Ralph started an in
Syestigation, he found nearly a dozen
ten percenters" plying their trade at
the bureau, in connection with their
regular duties in the engraving plant.
Punishment Inflicted.
Waple himself, who waived trial in
police court yesterday, and who is out
on bond awaiting action, of the grand
jury, was suspended for thirty days and
his compensation reduced fromS 81 to
Sb.52 per day.

Ralph Would Increase
Girls Pay If He Had Cash

Director Ralph, of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, declares he
cannot grant the demand of the women
employees in his bureau for increased
wages, because he has no funds He
favors increases for his employees, he
said this morning. He further de-
clared he did not oppose their organiz-
ing into union, except that he felt 1t
unjust to the girls for labor men to
promise them increases which could not
under present conditions be obtained.
The printers now pay tive-siXths of
the salaries of the girls" said the d.
rector. The Government pays the other
sixth. and l know that many of the
printers each month add S. or so to
the girls wages. If they want to in
crease the pay of the girls q per cent
a plan should be adopted similar to al
lowing the printers to pay four-f1fths
of an increased salary and the Govern
ment one-fifth."

Reported to tho House.

Washington April 13.-The Canadian
reciprocity bill introduced in the House
yesterday was reported iavorabiy to

Tac Canadian reciprocity bill was
taken UP first by the committee and
after a brief discussion Rep Mccall,
its sponsor in the 6lst Congress, NOV
ed that ii be approved by the commit
tee. This was done without division.
The free list bill, however, was not
