CHARGE WILL Be
INQUIRED INTO
Publication Alleged Country
Has Been Flooded With
Spurious Bank Notes,
Bonds, Savings Stamps.

Washington, April 17.-Secretary
Mellon today called upon the Plate
Printer, official organ of the Plate
Printers Union Employees at the
bureau of engraving and printing,
to furnish him Immediately with
any evidence upon which that pub
lication had based its statements
that the country was flooded with
millions of counterfeit bank notes,
bonds, war savings and other
stamps, war bonds and coupons.
Any such evidence, he added, would
be investigated at once.
The Plate Printer recently pub
lished an article criticising what it
declared was flood Of counterfeits
with the recent reorganization of
the bureau by President Harding
involving the removal Of Director
James l.. Wilmeth and other Off
cials.
In letter to Frank ]. Coleman.
editor and business manager of the
Plate Printer, Mr.. Mellon said thai
statements Of this sort, reflecting
as they do, upon the government
bonds in the hands of investors, are
calculated to cause widespread un-
easiness upon the part of such
holders, and at the same time, If
uncontradicted, might tend to in
jure the credit and standing with
the public of the securities of the
government.
Mr.. Mellon added that it has been
the custom of the treasury to send
out circulars describing every coun-
terfeit issue when discovered, and
requested that he be furnished with
any evidence other than that con-
tained in such circulars.
ne report of the special COM
mittee which has made an inven-
tory of the stock Of the bureau,
probably will be completed this
week, according to high treasury
officials, who, however, did not in
dicate whether the report would
be made public by Mr.. Mellon or
would be sent to President Harding.
The situation at the bureau was
today at conference be-
tween President Harding and Chair
man McFadden, of the house bank
ing and currency committee, Mr..
McFadden said that very good
progress was being made on the
check-up of the bureau.
