SACRAMENTO, Feb. 81. U.P) -
| Widely divergent reports of irreg-
ularities. kissing bees and playboy
activities were banded about the
capitol today as organizations and
officials demanded a thorough, i'm
partial investigation Of conditions
in the state printing plant.
The only change given authori-
tative public recognition concerned
office hour kissing, and hinged on
the proof and copy room, presided
over by James F. Lyon. But it
resulted in employees dropping
hints that friendly exchanges of
kisses were nothing compared with
other things" which might be
brought into the open if the right
kind of investigation develops.
Harry Hammond, state printer.
intimated he had heard charges
Of a more sensational nature and
would get to the bottom" of the
affair.
Several employees felt Lyon was
being made the goat. 1t seems,
according to them, that kissing
among the copy piles and printing
equipment has been SO common
nobody thought much about it..
Even Hammond was mentioned as
"kisser," but he vigorously de-
MED the allegation.
One woman employed in Lyons
office said her employer made
over" the girls, but she did not
think he should be singled out.
If they were going 10 punish
all the men who kissed girls in
the state printing plant they'd
have a list mile long" she said.
"One little girl in particular is
very popular All the men kiss her
if they get a chance. to encourage
her in her work. Practically all
the men in the plant have tried
and some of them gave succeeded.
The younger the girls the more
they are made over
I'm one of the older employees.
I haven't been kissed guess, in six
years"

she was being Disseminated against.
Why Should They
There was nothing wrong with
the situation" Lyon insisted. "All
the women are married. Nobody
thought anything about it. Some
one had grudge."
He intimated that "if things got
serious" others would go out with
him.

in five women being interviewed
by a representative of Hammond,
