The proposal that the survey be
made by the United States Bureau OF

derstood. The committee. after ask

1t is still a moot point as to the

Thurston element on the committee,

Director Wilmeth Supplants IS
Transferrers With Electro
lytic Outfit.

Dsclarin gthst transferrers OF the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing.
approximately forty-nve in number,
have for months past decreased their
output OF work In "a deliberate enort
TO embarass the Treasury Department
snd the country" In q move to force
further increase In compensation.
notwithstanding they have received
three promotions within two years.
Director James L. Wilmeth. today
announced the installation OF IN e,ec-
trolytic plant for making engraved
plates by a new process.
These and other improvements
which are constantly being made In
ing" said Director Wiimeth. "are for
the benent OF the people OF the United
States, and they have not been
brought about o introduced as re-
suit OF any antagonism or night with
organized labzor, but as a matter or
economy and convenience and for the
best interests OF the government"
Output Seriously Reduced.
wiimeth took occasion to point out
today that something had TO be done
to remedy the situation, as the trans
ferrers' output per man had been re-
duced to about two notes per day.
despite the fact that the transferrers
were working from one and half
to five hours per day overtimes. Un-
der ordinary circumstances, said the
director. an average days work for
a good transferrer would be to trans
fer ten notes in working day OF
eight hours.
The output OF money and securt-
ties" Wilmeth said this afteEnoon.
will become increasingly larger from
week to week until the plant Is in
full operation. The success OF this
new installation Is assured, and the
department and the people OF the
country will not hereafter be sub
jected to serious embarrassment and
delay by reason OF a mere handful OF
men limiting their production In an
effort to enforce their demands
All Unions Loyal save One.
Pointing out that there are twenty
one different branches OF organized
labor represented in the bureau, d.
rector Wilmeth said:
81 have found this to be a help in
stead of a hindrance to practically all
OF the organised workers in this great
money making plant; and all during
the period OF the war, when there
was such a deluge Of work. and at the
present time, when the bureau is over
whelmed with demands for money to
meet the current needs of our Govern
ment and the country. and also TO
supply permanent bonds for-t tom
porary issues put out during the war.
, all the organizations, with one
exception, has stood loyalty by the
Government. Since the signing of the
armistice the transferrers' organiza-
tion. through it's accredited repre-
sentatives has endeavored to reduce
the daily output of work to such an

ment has resulted to the country
