OF PLATE PRINTERS
Editor Ryan Asserts Men Are Not Op-

Sought by Director Ralph.

The plate printers are not opposing
the transfer of appropriations desired
by Director Ralph, of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. according to
p. j. Ryan, editor of the Plate Printer,
who, in a new York dispatch. names
three reasons why the printers wanted
to know why the transfer of appropria-
tions was being made.
First of ALL" said Mr.. Ryan," the
plate printers wanted to know II they
were going to suffer by reason Of the
transfer. Secondly they wanted to
know why the director did not ask for
a deficiency appropriation; and. last of
all, they wanted to know what was
meant by miscellaneous expenses,
whether for the purpose of purchasing
ink and other materials or whether Tor
the purchase of machinery.
when 1t became known that this
transfer was to be asked for, the com
mittee of the plate printers waited on
the committee of appropriations OF the
Senate and asked to be advised IL the
change would injure them in any way.
The chairman of the committee said he
could well understand the reasons Tor
their inquiry and gave them to under
stand that no men would be dis
charged. .E.
Director Ralph is reported as say
ing the plate printers were opposing
the transfer of appropriations, but this
is not true"
