manufacturers i'm this city were today
considering a formal letter from the Mu-
sical instrument Makers Union, giving
them until September IA to reply to a
demand for a IL per cent increase in

Receives Valuable Tips.

Sometimes also the department receives
valuable tip as to an impending out
break of disease or insect damage. In
such cases sometimes a special expert
has to be hurried to the scene to head
off crop disaster.
All these letters have to be handled diff
ferently. Sometimes they affect two or
three bureaus beside that of publication.
and yet their requests have to be nan
died by the mailing division as well. Nat
urally, under the law the mechanical
work of mailing will have to be trans
ferred to the government printing Office.
But the letters will have to be handled
in the department just the same. 1t Is
thought that an economy will result by
eliminating the drayage between the gov
ernment printing Office and the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Doubt as to Employees.
1t will not be known for about 4
fortnight at the government printing
office how many of the mailing clerks
from the other departments can be taken
care of there Public Printer Donnelly
says that his force is always kept at
the minimum necessary to handle the
current work of his Office.
When the work of wrapping and mail
ing government documents is added to the
work of the printing Office, additional en-
ployes will be necessary to do it. Naiu-
rally the public printer says, he will first
consider the applications Of the workers
in this line who have dropped from the
other departments. How many Of them 1t
will be necessary to employ has not yet
been considered.
