HAS SERVED 81 YEARS
IN A SINGLE BUREAU
Mrs. Margaret Ash Has an Unusual
Record Among Government
Employees.

Fifty-one years in the service of the
government in one department is the
record of Mrs. Margaret Ash. who has
seen the bureau of engraving and
printing grow from small quarters in
one corner of the Treasury building to
occupy the handsome new structure
that houses 1t today. Mrs. Ash is in
the examining division. She celebrated
Monday the ffty-first anniversary of
her entering the service.
The examining division sprung" a
surprise on Mrs Ash in the form of a
huge bouquet of flowers and many
concentrations Monday at noon. Mrs.
Ash, in her turn, surprised her friends
by dancing a few dances with Mrs.
Belle Dewey. superintendent OF the
tissue room.
Lauds Director Ralph.
'Mr. Ralph is the best chief to old
people we ever had" declared Mrs. Ash
today. And as Mrs. Ash has worked
under every director from the very
first one, by whom she was appointed,
it Is reasonable to think that she
should know.
Mrs. Ash was born in Baltimore In
1S46, coming to Washington when she
was seventeen years old. She was ap-
pointed by Director Clark. the first di-
rector of the bureau, to a position as
printers assistant. She held this posi-
ton for seven years, later ran a per-
forating machine for fourteen years
and still later was a counter In the
miscellaneous division. She was ap-
pointed to the examining division In
1910.
Service Under Ten Chiefs.
Mrs. Ash has put in but one or two
doctors certificates for sick leave in
all the years of her employment in the
bureau. She has worked under all the
ten directors-Clark, Mccarthy, Nc
Pherson. Irish. Burroughs. Meredith,
Graves, Johnston, Sullivan and Ralph
and has seen the bureau grow from
some 500 people housed in the attic OF
the Treasuryb uilding to the great gov
eminent engraving and printing estab-
lishment of today. employing $500 peo-
pie and quartered in one of the show
places of Washington.
Mrs. Ash liked the old building best.
she says, because she worked there so
long. She says there are several woman
employees of the bureau who have been
in its employ longe rthan she has, but
they won't own up to 1t.
II asked one of them how long she
had been here" smiled Mrs. Ash. "and
she said, Why, you saw me come here
in short dresses / told her, I never
saw you in short dresses in my life "

clares Its Advantages in Ar
senals Has Increased.

While admitting that scientific man.
aSement of government arsenal work
is not liked by many labor organiza-

have been favorably reported by some
congressional committees. Gen. William
Crozier. chief of ordnance of the army.
in his annual report submitted today
declared that with the extension of the
system, now proceeding, it's advan-
tages had continued and increased. At
the Watertown arsenal, he shows that
some classes of employees received 29. .27
per cent of their daily wages as addi-
tiona1 bonuses.
Gen. Crozier scouts the idea that the
scientific system involves the unde-
sirable hurrying of men, to their re-
sulting physical, mental and moral
detriment. He states that the sub
ject has now been taken up by the
commission on industrial relations, and
adds that 1t seems strongly desired
that Congress shall not take action un-
til it has received the commissions
