Less Than Estimate.

He pointed out that the bill as call
ed up In the House carries $106, $3.50
year less than the recommendations
of the public printer. and said:
The reason we are anxious to
have this bill acted upon before the
recess Of Congress il that the public
printer has advised the committee
that he is having serious difficulty in
fact that a number of men have re-
signed on account of receiving better
pay outside. He has not been able
to get the additional men needed, and
unless something is done to improve
the conditions he believes that more
men will leave.
I'm fixing the pay Of the printers
we must also take into consideration
the fact that they are entitled to
thirty days annual leave, which, of
course, printers working in private
establishments do not get. Some en-
p1oyers give their men two weeks
leave with pay, but the government
gives its employees thirty days. All
OF these things were taken into con-
sideration In arriving at the rate
recommended, and the committee feels
that the bill as reported il q fair
bill, fair to the printers and fair to
the government. We believe that the
printers working at the government
printing ONCE should receive fair
compensation: not necessarily the
highest rate paid for that kind of
work at any place, but certainly they
should receive the average pay for

and other prominent members on both
sides Of the House made speeches
emphasizing the fact that the en-
ployes Of the big printing plant have
been receiving less than was paid in
private establishments in Washing
ton and other large cities.
Chairman Kriess explained that the
committee took into consideration
that this bill fixing the rate Of pay
is permanent legislation, and also
took into consideration the $40 per
year bonus, which amounts to prac-
ticaIly 10 cents per hour. So that in
considering the rate Of pay you must
realize that while we made the rate
rs cents per hour, there Is a bonus of
approximately 10 cents per hour to be
added, which makes IS cents per hour
for day work. Then, under the law the
government printing Office employees
who work at night receive 20 per cent
additional, which makes the rate Of
pay for those who work at night 81
per hour"

Comparison with Navy Yard.

..The employees Of the government
printing office at that time had their
wages fixed by statute and were get
ting somewhere in the neighborhood
of aboutS55 cents per hour, or $40 for
an eight-hour day. Since that time
the wages Of the employees Of the
Washington navy yard, fixed by the
wage board, have gone up to rate of
$3.50 per day. frst-class rate. without
any bonus. The present rate of IS
cents per hour, plus the bonus. up to
the first OF this year Of cents per
hour, for the highly skilled, men In
the government printing ONCE would
let them have q minimum rate for
eight hours OF $3.50 per day. Under
the new rate 1t would put the skilled
employees OF the government printing
Office upon about the same rate as the
employees Of the Washington navy
yard, and I do not think there is any
anything about the skill and the work
required about the printing trade that
they are just as highly skilled men
as there are in the government navy
yard in Washington or In any other
section of the country, and they ought
to be treated accordingly. The nayh
yard has enjoyed this $3.50 navy yard
rate for some time and have the right
to have their wages increased by the
Secretary OF the Navy from time. to
time to meet changing conditions.
These men will only get their $3.50
rate when the bill passes this House
and finally passes the Senate; that IL,
they will only receive the equivalent
Of the navy yard rate by including the
$40 per year bonus"
