COOK AGAIN ATTACKS
DIRECTOR OF BUREAU

A proposal that additional charges
be brought against Joseph E. Ralph,
director OF the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing. was made by the Rev.
E. Albert Cook. pastor OF Capitol
Heights Congregational Church, in his
sermon last night.
He suggested that the list include
"inadequacy OF sanitary arrangements
at the bureau. improper reports
of, work hours, and dismissal OF
efficient employees because they would
not keep silent concerning some bu-
reau practices"
The Rev. Mr.. Cooks statement fol-
lowed the reading of correspondence
between himself and Secretary Nc
Adoo, which was published in The
Times Friday.
Declaring It his belief that DR..
Cook had been misinformed regard
ing certain conditions at the Bureau,
P. J. Ryan. editor OF the Plate
Printer, the official organ OF the plate
printers, issued a statement this aft
ernoon in which he said that the
clergyman has been the victim Of a
canard." He said:
This rumor wa undoubtedly set
afoat by some one who Is anxious to
make It appear that the plate print
ers and pressmen OF the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing are under
charges. am sure that the doctor
had no intention of rejecting in any
wise upon the plate printers or other
employees, and that DR.. Cooks in
formant undoubtedly intended to inn
pose upon him and the public in a
desperate EFFORT 10 make IL appear
that the plate printers and employees
of the bureau are under charges.
when quite the contrary il the fact.
The plate printers have always been
and as a whole are respectful and
deferential to the women employees OF
the bureau. and. without going into
the merits Of this controversy. / want
TO say that I firmly believe that this
is a deliberate intention to impose
upon the doctor and the public and
10 shift the burden OF defending the
charges against the bureau to the
employees. The rumor should be stiff
