CHARGE INJUSTICE
IN PATENT OFFICE
Employees Protest Rule Re-
uuiring Two Weeks Notice
of Intention to Resign.

Alleging unfair use OF his authority
in several instances, employees of the
Patent Office have taken a direct
slap at Patent Commissioner Thomas
II. Robertson and have appointed a
committee to investigate rumors and
discomfort among the examining
corps of the Patent Office in line
with allegations that Mr.. Robertson
has placed obstacles in the path of
examiners leaving the Office for out
side positions.
The center of the controversy now
raging at the Patent Office Is a pro-
posal made by Commissioner Robert
son that two weeks notice shall be
given to the Commissioner before any
member of the examining corps leaves
the Office to take an outside position.
Opposition of the examining corps
to this proposed regulation comes
about, employees explain, because Com
missioner Robertson is said to be
opposed to losing any of the corps
of expert examiners and Is said to
have personally asked patent law

Bar to Better Jobs.
The employees allege that Mr.. Rob
ertson utilizes the two-week period to
convince employers that the services
of examiners are more needed in the
Patent Office than outside. The Pat
ent Office Society, an organization
numbering upward of 500 examiners,
is aroused over what they say is an at
tempt to restrict their chances of
outside employment at considerably
increased salaries.
other char n1a6a a pa In G n
Mr.. Robertson by members of the
society are the following: That he
is opposed to the Patent Office serv-
ing as a training ground for young
patent attorneys; that he has con-
sistently held up advances in rating
and salary advances in cases merit
ing immediate promotion in both
grade and salary and by this attitude
has aroused a spirit of discomfort In
the Patent Office.
Rejects New Rule.
The Patent Office Society discussed
Mr.. Robertson's proposal at a meet
ing yesterday, amended 1t several
times and finally declined to submit
to the commissioners proposal that
two weeks notice be given. During
the course of the discussion on the
proposal, an amendment was carried
THAT no effort should be made after
resignation has been given to dis
suade any member of the examining
corps from resigning or to dissuade
any person or firm from employing
any member of the corps"

tigate the matter consists of Ex-
