In replying to questions by members of the committee, Mr. Ely said that the department is anxious to be lo- cated in the Veterans' Bureau bild- inz. but that the Public Buildings Commission prefers to place it in one | | of the temporary war buildings.

It is the attitude of {the commission, however, to allow the { War Department to fill in this build- ! ng with some of its outlying activ- ities. According to present pros- !pects, therefore, the puMlic bpildings commission does not see any/chance | for some time ahead to move the De- {partment of Justice into a govern- {ment-owned building.

PREMIUM PRICES | BOOST HARD COAL | T0 $17 AND $18 TON i i (Continued from First Page.) very reasonably, and a great demand i for efficient id real substitutes is &pri ing up,” declared J. Maury | Dove. jr., this'morning. *“The substitutes rate: Coke, briquets and screened bituminous coal. | The last named can’be burned tn any [ except hot air furnaces, we feel, but there is so. much dirt and smoke at- tached to the use of this type of i coal as a fuel that many persons find {it objectionable. ° { Demand Exceeds Supply. { “The demand far exceeds the supply | of egg. stove and nut anthracite coal. | There is some coal of this type in the ! District, but by no means sufficient { quantities to meet the demands of the public. We are not paying what is being termed premium prices for coal at the mines. It is simply a point of policy with us. We find that the pub- ilic is “eating up" substitutes, to speak {in the vernacular, and the more that { this is done, the more satisfied we feel j the public will be eventually. Must Follow Instructions. “One thing must be remembered. In- structions of dealers should be fol- lowed to the letter in order to obtain the maximum efficiency from the sub- stitutes. Dealers are giving such in- { structions, but the public will have to | follow them in order to benefit by the { use of substitutes. If Instructionsare { followed rigidly In the case of the so- | { called substitutes, we think that they may really obtain better and cheaper {service than from the article origi- | nally sought.” Must Permit Increase. ‘When the price of hard coal is in- creased at the mine the public utili-| ties commission must permit the local dealers to make a corresponding in- crease in the retail charge for such fuel, Engineen Commissioner Keller stated today. He added, however, that the com- mission. would endeavor to find out from the Pennsylvania authorities, in which state the anthracite fields exist, just what increases have oc- curred at the mines and the reasons for such advances. He intimated that the commission might consider asking the Depart- ment of Justice or the Federal Trade lcmmxnun to inquire into the causes for higher prices at the mines. Evidence Must Be Submitted, “If a dealer has to pay $1 more per ton for his coal at the mine, we will allow him to charge $1 more here,” he sald. He pointed out that this does not increase the dealers operating margin. The commission has fixed $16.50 as a maximum fair price for hard coal. When a dealer pays a mine price for his coal that necessitates a retail price in excess of $16.50 he must sub- mit_evidence to the commisaion of what he is colonel said. paying at the mine, the 3\ S DEMAND ON TRAFFIC TO THIS YARD DURING THE FACILITATE THE MOVING OF SEEKS TO BLOCK BUREAU SHAKE-UP (Continued from First Page.) press plate printers with power presses is a very doubtful economy, according to Representative Zihlman. “On such information as I have re- ceived about the art, I am convinced that the use of power presses will be | Anything but in the interest of good service,” Mr. Zihlman sald. “1 will oppose this new legislation, which has no place n an appropriu- tion bill. 1t J:ads to increasing un- employment.

If these presses should |prove unsatisfactory, as I am assured they will, it will be impossible for the government again to secure the }f:»n of efficient employes that it now . In discussing the proposed change at the bureau of engraving and print- ing Chairman Madden said. “For nearly forty vears the utiliza- tion of the most improved type of machinery in the bureau of engraving and printing has been a disputed and tested question. The legislation on the subject for the most part has been a restriction upon the most efficient administration of the plan As early as 1886 there appeared limitation on the appropriation to th. effect that no part of the sum should - used for the purchase or operation any new, improved plate printing es. _“This was followed from time to time by restrictive legislative pro- visions, among them being prohibi- tions against the repair or recon- struction of steam plate printing presses and later a prohibition against the increase in the number of steam plate printing presses. Still later a law was enacted requiring that all bonds, notes and checks should be printed on hand roller presses. Permanent Law Enacted. ‘In 1912 the permanent law now affecting the bureau was enacted. It provided in effect that the Secretary of the Treasury might utilize power presses for printing the backs of paper money and bonds and the fronts and backs of checks. The law also provided that in printing the back of paper money four subject plates should be used. It also pro- vided that in the execution of any year's work on power presses not more than one-fifth of the hand presses should be displaced in one year. It left the printing of the paper. of all paper money, on hand presses from four subject plates.” Authority in 1917 Law. “In 1917, after the outbreak of the war. when it was seen that the war work of the government could not be turned out with the part modern and part antiquated equipment. a law was enacted, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to utilize ahatever printing presses or processes he might desire 5o long as he was able to retain in the service the same number of qualified plate printers as were en- gaged in the work. This authority was for the period of the war with Ger- many. “In 1919 this authority was extended during the period of the emergency growing out of the war with Ger- many, with the same stipulation that in the utilization of power. presses and the adoption of any improved style of printing the Secretary of the Treasury must be governed by the restriction that he must still retain the same number of permanent plate printers. “We are brought to the situation where the bureau is unable to pro- ceed any further with the installation of power presses. The emergency has come to an end and they will be forced to operate under the provision of the act of 1912, which is the permanent la There are in the bureau of en- graving and printing at the present time 242 power presses and 246 hand presses. A power press will produce from three to four times more work n a day than a hand press. A hand press requires a plate printer and one assistant, and a power press re- quires a plate printer and two as- sistants. Ay ‘The labor cost of printing 1,000 sheets from eight subject plates on a power press is $7.95 for the faces of the notes and $6.60 for the backs. The same labor cost for 1,000 sheets from four subject plates on a hand press is $15.17, for the faces of notes. This shows a difference of $7.22 in favor of the power press and the eight subject plates over the hand press and the four subject plates. No Difference in Work. “There is no difference in the quality of work performed. The counterfeiting of a power press note is no easier than than of a hand press note. The sole question involved is whether the gov- ernment should retain the hand presses and give employment to a larger num- ber of plate printers and their assist- ants than would be afforded in the utilization of power presses. “Installation of 58 power presses will do away with the utilization of 196 hand presses. Two employes t6 each of 196 hand presses requires 892, Three employes to each of 58 power presses requires 174; the dif- ference between 302 and 174 is a re- duction of 218 persons - under the wer press plan. PO e ‘committes hay recommended the installation of the 68 power presses and the displacement of the 196 hand presses. In order that the power presses may be fully utilized, it also recommends authority to en- able the Secretary of the Treasury to utilize printing plates containing more than four subjects each. At the present time under the tem- porary law, only 40 power presses are engaged in printing the backs of the United States currency frdm eight- subject plates and 23 power Dresses are engaged in the printing of the face of United States currency from eight-subject plates. All the re- mainder of the 175 power presses are printing from four-subject plates, not- withstanding the fact that 80 per cent more work can be produced during the day from an eight-subject plate than from a four-subject piate. “There is no difference of quality in the work produced from an eight- TAR, WASHINGTON, D.

It points out that legislation tending to reduce iquality and high standards of govern- ment securities dates back to August 4, 1887, hen power presses were intro- duced at the bureau of engraving and { printing.

The world war with its excessive demands on all resources of government demands for liberty bonds. in ad- aition to the current demand of the Treasury Department, made quan- tity production the paramount issue rather than quality. The statement reminds Congress that it has for years maintained that the quality of paper money be kept on the highest point of printing excellence and has employed engrav- ers who were without peer to ex- ecute the work of the Treasury De- partment. Loss Through Counterfeiting. The statement calls attention that when a successful counterfeit has been circulated no one can measure the trouble or loss to the individual, as the government assumes no re- sponsibility, the loss being estirely on less paper. It is also emphasized that during the first week of October, 1922, the annual convention attended by 7,500 bankers, viewed an exhibit of coun- terfeit paper money shown by Chief Moran of the secret service depart- ment, and that at that time the bank- requesting the Secretary of the Treas- ury to resume the same high quality of material and of mechanical produc- tion of paper money that obtained prior to the war in order to provide the largest possible protection against counterfeiting. —_— LEAVES ESTATE TO WIFE.
