The first break in the ranks of those
reinstated chiefs who had been dis
missed by President Harding in
March, 1922. from the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing and were re
stored to their positions nearly TWO
wears later. has occurred. in the reslg-
nation of Benjamin r. Sticllney, me-
chanical expert and designer.
Mr.. Stickney rendered his resigna-
ton several days ago, it was learned
today, in order to accept 4 more lucra-
tive position in the commercial field,
and the Government is again faced
with the old problem. officials admit
ted, OF the urgent need for payment
of salaries commensurate with serV-
ices performed.
Removed i'm March. 1922.
Mr. Stickney was removed from
office on the sensational night of
March 81. 1922. along with 27 other
employees of the bureau. His Civil
Service eligibility was restored on
February "A, 1923. by President
Harding. and year later. on F'ebru-
ary 21, 1924, he was restored by
Secretary Mellon to his former posi-
ton of mechanical expert and de-
signer. Mr.. Stickney's resignation
was said TO be a real loss TO the
Government service. During his 27
years in the bureau he invented and
constructed numerous labor-saving
machines and devices. The savings
accomplished by the adoption of his
inventions have reached an enormous
total. and will continue. it is said
Indefinitely to accrue to the Govern.
ment's benefit. Among the ma
chimes created by him are wetting,
plating. trimming, coiling and feed
ing machines, and many other ap-
plianCes and devices.
His intaglio web printing press and
his twoway rotary perforator are
among the outstanding contributions
made by him TO the bureaus opera
tions.
The field of mechanical expert and
designer is extremely limited. and
while reclassification has resulted in
correcting many discrepancies, there
undoubtedly is considerable adjust
ment yet TO be made in special cases
of this kind. officials admitted, in
order that the Government may hold
its own against the competition of
outside concerns. Officials of the
Treasury were emphatic in their re
gret that Mr.. Stickney could not re-
main to continue the important work
which he has performed for the
bureau.
