letter addressed to the Presidents Sec

FRANK Buchanan of Illinois. Mr.. Tum-

to labor's national peace council, of
which Mr.. Buchanan formerly was
president. In his letter to Mr.. Tumulty,
made public today. Mr.. Buchanan
writes as follows:

WHY ENGRAVING BUREAU
FORCE IS "SPEEDED UP''
To Meet Demand for Small Notes,
Say Officials in Answer to Article
in Plate Printer.

Speeding up the present force ;oi
the bureau of engraving and printing
simply means working to meet the. IN
creased demand for notes Of small de-
nomina ton to meet the big crop move
ments due this late summer and early
fall, according to officials of the bu-
reau. -
This statement is, given as an answer
to an article In the latest number of
the Plate Printer, in which an appeal
is made to the director of the bureau
to reinstate the. twenty-five employees
discharged July l, instead of speed
ing up the present force.
.'Now comes the news that business is
going to be brisk in the bureau for
some time to come, and the men have
been informed that they must work
steady declares the Plato Printer.
"The news Of brisk business in the bu-
reau is. good news. and why not make
ii better by reinstatfng the men who
were dropped. without prejudice, July

least to the compromise law and would

sitions during the rush season"

Gen. Harvey il q strong believer IN
this preventive medicine, holding that
the figures produced by the 1912 ma

argument in favor of 1t. Though the

Under the voluntary plan of admin

officers that there are difficulties to it's
success. Some of the men take one
dose and then do not take the two
others, which must be given ten days

tarism. 1t is matter of common
knowledge that the munition manufac-
turers of this and other countries have
been in collision for years and have
been carrying on colossal propaganda
by which they have induced the vari-
Gus countries actually to compete with
one another in the production of war
equipment.
Not only am I in favor of govern
ment monopoly of the manufac ture OF
war munitions from an economic
standpoint. but also from the point of
view of the workers engaged in their
production, because it would mean bet

national peace council. Howeves. l had
difference with my associates, who
seemed to be willing to let the influence
Of men of questionable motives control
over my protest in regard to methods

ell for peace, and for this reason l
resigned as president of the council
some time ago. 1 did not announce
TINS to the public because I did not
desire to do anything that would OBJ

peace.
My old-time opponents have been
exceedingly anxious to take advantage
OF many situations to cast reflections
upon me. They have had me on the
scene of almost every strike called in
New England recently as one OF the
main instigators of the trouble, and
have turned things into almost every
angle in order to cast suspicion upon
me. l feel sure, however. that my
friends have greater confidence in my
purposes and ideals than to he misled
by the lbelous statements that have
been sent broadcast in the past few
