Investigation “- Charges Against mn. The Testimony To-day. ‘The imvestigation by the Senate Committee ‘m Printing of the case of A.M, Clapp, public Printer, commenced this morning, at the Com- mittee’s room in the Capitol. The charges are quite numerous, and may be briefly stated, as incapacity of performing the duties of the Government Printing Office genc- rally; mismanagement apd ignorance on the part of himself and his subordinates; that one large volume, known as ‘Commercial Rela- tions,” had to be reprinted on account of the type having been distributed before the requisite uumber of copies was printed; of blundersin the “ ‘Special Sources of Intern- Paris Exposition,” and other re ports, costing the Government @ large amoun of money; that numbers ot persons are paid for labor who have nothing to do; that the job office is badly managed, involving a loss of $1,000 per month in the employment of hands alone; that the “chief of the specitication room” was discharged from the office for incompetency un- der previous administrations; that Mr. Clapp has employed acarpenter and machinist, total- ly incompetent; that he has disch: Union soldiers and kept mon at work who never fired @ gun for their country, and in some cases rebels themselves; that the present foreman is totally untit for the position; that Mr. Clapp purchased tercotyping office without any authority ot law, and employed a man torun it who is re- ceiving a salary in the Globe office; that he has employed a person as copy reviser,wheu the duty Lelongs to the foreman, at a salary of $1,800 per annum, &c. ‘These charges were preferred by G. W. Scri- ver, T. M. Moore, C.W. Tolford, and G. Graves, late employes at the Government Printing Of fice, discharged by Mr. Clapp. Mr. Clapp stated to the committee this morn- ing that berore the proceedings commenced he would request that but one witness be present atatime,while the examination was in progress. Senator Anthony presided. Mr. John Larcombe was the first witness ex- amined, and stated that there had been no ma- terial purchased, to his knowledg:, which was unnecessary in the office; the assistant foreman had never called his attention to the fact that there was material purchased unnecessary for the wants of the office. ‘The price of nonpareil was 70 cents per pound, and not $1.25. The or- ders for purchasing material came through the foreman of each branch to the Superintendent of the office, and by a requisition, whether large or small. With reference to charge 4, he weuld refer to his statement on 2of the charges published; that the present preparer of copy, T. Madison Davis, is tully competent'to dis- charge his duties; that the charge that the chief clerk was drawing $1,800 per annum, and doing litde or nothing, is ‘untrue, his duties being quite varied, looking after the business of the office generaily, and that he is entirely com tent for his duties. His acquaintance with Mr. Moore was slight, and he did not know him well enough to say whether he would not be- lieve him on his oath. In reply to the question of the necessity of a copy preparer, he had no doubt that it was necessary to have such an office. C. Wendell testified that he had been tor of government printing for two years, and fourteen years as stb-contractor, and experience led him to the belief that practical printer was necessary as a foreman This was necessary in any well regulated offic. where book work is executed especially. A fair day's work for ten hours’ labor should be about six thousand ems, and a pro rata number for less ume than that. When men work by the day they should work by the standard used to cai- culate day's work. A large amount of the copy in the government office is badly prepared, and requires much labor to revise. It would be un- {ust te denounce printers for not performing ten urs’ work in eight hours. A printer could make double the amount of wages by working on fat work that he can on Ian work. He had known men who work on rule and figure work to make as high as forty dollars per day, but taking the run, fat and lean, six thousand ems Was an average day’s work. He had known Mr. Clapp many years, probably twenty-five or thi ty agar, and from his knowledge of his capabilities, which were fair, he thought him capable to discharge the duties of government Printer, but he does not conduct his office as he would himself. He thought he had put men in places that were incompetent, and discharged very competent men on political grounds as he understood. He thought the office couid be con- «ducted more economically than it was. Men suspected of not being in sympathy with the dominant party, but good printers, had been discharged, and incompetent Itepublicans given places there, and in this Feapect the government ’ had sustained _ loss. His theory is that afair day’s labor should be 6,000 ems of the leanest kind of matter. While he was Superintendent of Printing he did not find it necessary to employ a preparer of copy. ‘This work properly belonged to the foreman, id was always performed by him. He con- sidered the office entirely supertiuous. The Union price per thousand is sixty cents, and he would not employ a printer who could not earn four dollars per day. He would take a fair run of the coy and would require the 6,000 ems as a 's work. He did not regard it oppressive to require of a man the amount of labor he was id to perform. Mr. John D. Defrees testified that he was ac- quainted with the present foreman of the Gov- ernment Printing Office, and trom his know. ledge of his capability he did not think hi ualified to perform the duties of the office. hen witness was in charge ot the government office he did not expect men to do as much in eight hours as they did in ten hours. He never employed a copy reviser; the foreman ig ag did this duty. “He knew ogre | about Mr. Ethel’s capabilities as a printer or foreman, but always understood that he was not a practical winter. M Daniel W. Flynn testitied that he had been employed in the printing office since November, sel. id worked at the case and as reviser of copy. So fer as he knew Messrs. Ethel and Otis his opinion is that they are not competent printers, and from his knowledge of the tour proof readers employed there he would not em- pley them at any price.
