At BUREAU
Three-Day Vacations Every
Nine Days Initiated to
Saye Employees.

Louis A. Hill, director Of the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, today announced the in
auguration at the bureau next
Tuesday Of a system Of furlough-
ing which is designed to prevent
a further reduction Of the force
Of plate printers.
The furlough system will re-
suit in the recall Of the 100 plate
printers dismissed on August 8.
It calls for every plate printer
to work nine days and then be
furloughed three days.
Solicitor Asked for Ruling.
Mr.. Hin, Il IL said. is issuing the
furIough order as a compromise 70
be effective probably until the
Solicitor for the Treasury Depart
ment hands down a decision as TO
the legality OF the dismissal of the
100 printers in August.
The bureau director was In con-
ference with several representatives
OF the plate printers today, and II Is
understood, these men indicated
their personal approval of the plan.
The order for the furlough, adj
dressed to the superintendent Of plate
printers and others in charge and to
all plate printers employed In the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing,
follows:
SIN view of protests received In
regard to the dismissal of certain
plate printers, IL has been deter
mined to bring about the necessary
economies by instituting a rotating
furlough TO apply to all plate
printers. No definite statement
can be made as to how long this
method OF operation will be con
tinued. The bureau wishes. how
ever, to try this plan in the hope
that Il may meet the situation In
the best interests Of the employees
and the work Of the bureau.
Nine Days Work, Three Rest.
THE plate printers who were dis
missed are being recalled for the
present, All the plate printers will
be divided into groups, each group
to work for periods OF nine consecu.
tive days and to be furloughed for
three consecutive days out of each
twelve working days The number
OF working and furlough days may
be altered from time to time as
the situation demands. Notification
will be given to each individual OF
the work and furlough days as
signed to him. i
f'This order is effective beginning
Tuesday. September s. 1922"
Director Hiil learned in August
that the plate printing division had
exceeded the appropriation during
July by $4,000. He dismissed 100
men to bring the pay roll within the
appropriation.
Following this action the dis.
missed men protested to the Treasury
Department and TO Congress. They
based their protests on the fact the
law provides that power presses
could only be used during the war
emergency period, and that this
period 10 over and hand presses
must be used IN order 10 comply
with the law The use Of power

THE GOAL.

Is the mountain in your path, my child
Rugged and steep and cold?
Does it seem to ring challenge
That mettles and whets your soul?
Is the ocean, wide in it's foamy bed,
just where your feet would trod?
Does it seem to stay your feet today
When you should press on and on? ?
God gives to each of us a chance
To scale yon mountain steep,
To cross life's oceans wide expanse,
Nor ever stop to weep.
The goal is heaven and We must win,
Our journeys but begun:
May angels guide your feet each day
Till you hear Him say, ''Well done"

Lloyd George and Marquis Curzon.

the government leader.
The Earl OF Derbys rejection Of the
Indian secretaryship. coming after fail

of the determination of many con-
servatives to cut loose from the
coalition.
Lloyd George Silent.
The premier's political enemies de-
clare it is impossible for him now
to retain his position as head Of the
administration while depending
mainly upon unionist votes, and urge
that it is time he recognized the fact
definite.

planned that when on previous occa-
sion he had been on the point Of re-
signing on account of disagreement
with the governments near eastern
policy, the government had treated
him very considerably, representing
that his resignation would have dis

UNFOLDING THE NAVY

Congress, apparently, has not lost its head altogether
Judging from the vote on the navy personnel. There was
an attempt to cut the number of enlisted men far below what
those in the best position to know declared was the quota
that the United States was entitled to under the agreement
made by the leading nations at the Washington conference
concerning armament. If some of the members of congress
had their way the United States would have no navy at all,
or, at best, would maintain merely a few gunboats to keep
Central America in awe.
The desire to cut government expenses is %laudable,
but when this country has complied with the navy regula
tions as prescribed by the Washington conference whereby
The navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan shall
stand at a ratio of 5-5-3, this country has done enough in
The way of curtailing, and until the rest of the world is ready
to take another step in general disarmament it behooves
the United States to uphold her standard.
The naval experts insist that the United States will
need a personnel of sc, 900 men to uphold her ratio of 5-5-3.
These experts were able to convince President Harding,
Secretary of the Navy DENLY and other administration lead
ers that they are right. We believe that the country at large
will prefer to take the word of these experts with such sup
port as they have than to accept the authority of a lot of
inland congressman whose chief ambition at the present
time is to make an impression on the folks back home in
order that they may be reelected this fall.
While the world remains as it is today the American
navy must be second to none. The elimination of COMPETE
lion in building battleships and the establishment of a fixed
standard for the leading naval powers is quite a sufficient
achievement for this year. Our preparedness must not be
neglected because of the excellent work done in the limi-
tation Of armament.
