 To the Officers and Members of the
 Subordinate Unions of the Interna-
 tiona1 Typographical Union:
 There is now being considered by the House of Representatives of the United States Congress a bill known as 'H.. R. 159O2,'' being "a bill to amend, revise and codify the laws re- lating to the public printing and bind ing and the distribution of Govern ment pubIications.r
 If the bill is adopted with the pres ent Section S5 included it will pro- vide for the continuation of the pres eat unfair and pernicious practice of the United States Government enter ing into competition with the com printing corner cards on envelopes. This section should. therefore be amended, and the following will be offered in the House of. Representa- tives to take it's place:
 Section 85-The postmaster gener- al shall contract, for period not ex- ceeding four years, for envelopes, stamped or otherwise designed for sale to the public, or for use by any executive department, independent office or establishment of the gov ernnent, and may contract for them 1IaSv1 may be prescribed by the officer mak- ing the requisition therefor, but no envelopes shall be sold by the govern ment containing any nthographing or engraving. except the stamp, or any printing or advertisement: Provid- ed, that from and after July 1, 1915, it shall be unlawful for the Postoffice Department, or any officer, head of bureau or chief Of division thereof, to print or have printed, or sell or offer to sell, any stamped envelope bearing upon it a printed direction giving the name of any individual, firm or company. or any number of any postomce box, or drawer, or any street number, or the name of any building in which 1t shall be return ed if uncalled for or undelivered: :: Provided, that this shall not apply to those envelops printed with a return card left blank, as to name, address, box, drawer, street number, or build ing. and which only gives the name of the town city, with the state, district or territory: Provided, That the public printer shall contract for all envelopes required for the public printing at the Government Printing Office as provided for in section of this act, said envelopes to correspond in quality to the standards of paper as fixed upon by the joint committee on printing; and this provision shall become effective on the first day of July, 1915, until which time the de- partments, offices and establishments of the government may continue to furnish envelopes to the public print CT as heretofore.
 If the above amendment to Section s5 is adopted it will result in turning into printing offices in all of our ju- r1sdicti ons large amounts of printing g now done through Government con tract at prices that can not be met by private owners of printing plants, and will materially assist in furnish ing more steady employment for our members.
 Resolved, That this ssth session of c. s. B. A. F. of L., go on record sent out by Executive Council of In l ternational Typographical Union to it's several subordinate. unions in re- lation to bill known as H. R. 15902, being a bill to amend, revise and cod l fly the laws relative to the public printing and binding and the distribu- ton of government publications" Signed, James A.
