PRINTERS WAGE
FARLEY IS IN
DEADLOCK
Government Employees De-
mands viii Go to Joint
Congressional Committee

All hopes for an agreement on :.
new wage scale at the Government
Printing Office, through nerotia.
tons between Public Printer, George
II. Carter and Representatives of the
employees, were lost today.
A deadlock has been reached after
many weeks of negotiation, II was
announced today by members Of the
employees committee. The matter
now will be laid before the Joint
Congressional Committee on Print.
ing for final adjustment.
During the course Of the neeotia.
tions three district proposals have
been made and rejected. The OBJ.
stacIe over which the deadlock arose
was the insistence OF the Public
Printer upon his proposal for classi.
Tying employees in different branches
OF the trade according to their ef.
ficieGcy ratings.
Classification Fought.
The employees committee, after
having submitted two separate pro.
posals for flat wage schedules, in.
formed the Public Printer that
they could not possibly agree to
any proposal he might advance
which insisted upon such classi.
tication being made a part of the
agreement"
Mr., Carter, in his reply to the
committee, made the following
statement:

ciple Of collective bargaining as

The first proposal. made by the
employees, through their committee,
composed Of Edward s. Hartman,
Fl. B. Barnhart and William l..
Kirby, called for a flat rate wage
schedule for the journeymen
printers in the hand, monotype,

tons Of the printing office.
Counter Proposal
Carter refused to agree to the
proposal and submitted, as a coun.
ter proposal, his plan to cancel the
present schedule, calling for q flat
9o-cent an hour wage. and to sub.
stitute a sliding scale of wages
based upon the individual employees
efficiency. He proposed to divide
the employees into five salary groups
on the basis of quantity production.
with group salaries ranging from
80 cents to S1.15 an hour.
The employees, rejecting this plan
an destructive of the PRINCIPLES of
trade unionism, countered with Il
proposal for a flat rate of $1.l5 an
hour, an increase of Is cents over
the present rate, with Is per cent
extra for overtime and night work.
The Washington times., 1924-08-30

He is at that point more conserva.
tive than Mr.. Coolidge.
His party, however, does not
necessarily agree with him. It was
Democratic administration which
gave us our last great extension OF
Federal educational activity. This
was the Smith.Hughes law which
was signed by President Wilson on
February %, 1929, and which es.
tablished the Federal Board for
Vocational Education.
This board was authorized to ex.
tend its ideas. along with contribu.
tons of money amounting ultimately
to many millions of dollars, into
schools in every State in the
Union.
Platform Emphatic.
The Democratic platform of this
year is emphatic against centraliza.
ton and liberalization.
The Democratic party, neverthe.
less. when 1t was last in office.
took the Federal Government more
heavily than ever before into many
lids. including the field of edu
cation.
Every party in our whole history
has been thus inconsistent.
1t Is no modern decadence. 1t is
antique precedent.
TheWhigs, in 1910, were for a
United States Bank. President Ty.
Ter, having been put into office by
the Wings, nevertheless vetoed all
legislation for a United States
Bank.
II a Democratic Congress should
pass a bill establishing further
Federal interference with local edu.
cation. Mr.. Davis, according to his
present views, would veto It.
These considerations may make a
voter wonder how he is going to
know what he is going to get If he
votes for any one Of any of the
three parties in this campaign.
Any realistic reporter. personally
knowing public men, is obliged to
tell him that what he will get Ia
extremely complicated.
On the other hand, to console
MIN, the realistic reporter can
truthfully say that he will not get
anything that is any extreme de.
parture from what he has now.
The Inconsistencies and contradic.
tons of American politics are such
that except on the rarest occasions
the Senate on the one hand and the
House of Representatives on the
other hand and the President on
the third hand and the various
parties on the fourth and the vari.
Gus blocs within the various parties
on the fifth hand so balance them.
selves off against one another that
desperate dashes into any one given
logical--and therefore prob ably
wrong-direction become almost i'm.
possible.
That is the merit of our system.
1t provokes laughter from the fol-
lowers of logical theory. 1t gives
comfort to those who, when they
go to sleep at night. do not want
to wake up to find themselves in
different country.
