PRINTERSPAY BIL REPORTED IN HOUSE Measure Gives Chief of U. S. i Shop Power to Fix All 5 Wage Scales. Tavorable report on the so-called Drinters’ pay bill urged by the public printer and on which hearings were held before the House committes on printing with local and international ©fficers of the trades unfons affected testifying in favor of the bill, wi ade to the House yesterday by Repre- mentative Ldgar R. Kiess of Pennsyl- vaunia, chairman of the House com- mittee. The ~bill _authorizes the public Printer to fix the rates of wages for certain employes of the government printing office, including journeymen, apprentices, laborers and other hands as may be necessary for the execution of orders for public binding authorized by law. Stating that wages of printers, proofreaders, pressmen and bookbind- ers employed in the government print- ins office are now fixed by the act #pproved August 2, 1919, and that the Pay of all the other mechanics and labor- ors is determined by the public print- er, under authority in the act of Jan- uary 12, 1895, the report brings out that compensation of 48 per cent of the employes of the government printing office is definitely fixed by Jaw and that of 52 per cent is de- termined by the public printe: Representative Kiess s committee is of the opi i3 “an unbusinesslike p that in fairness to the govern- ment and to t oyes the wages of all journeymen and apprentices 2nd laborers employed in the govern- printing and T. that the on that this edure and ment printing office should be deter- mined in the same manner and Mot fixed partly by Congress and partly by_the public printer. “It would be a difficult task™ the Teport says, “for Congress to fix by Jaw from time to time such wages &8 would be just to the score or more of trades and the numerous divisions of each trade employed in the gov- ernment printing office. Therefore the committee recommends that the ‘wages of all the work forces in the government printing office be deter- mined by the public printer, as he now does for more than half of the employes in establish- ment.” Representative Kiess emphasizes that the printing office is the only fndustrial establishment of the gov- ernment that has the wages of even @ part of its working forces spe- cifically fixed by law. % Wage Scale Changes. In the bureau of ecngraving and Pprinting the wages of all mechanics and skilled laborers are determined by the director, with the approval of the Sccretary of the Treasury. The wages of all navy yard employes are mdjusted by a wage board, with the approval of the Secretary of the Nav. To secure an adequate num- i nt workmen at all times y for the government private employer to be able to meet changing conditions with corresponding readjustments of es, Representative Kiess' that great He points out that it is just as un- falr to obligate the ernment by Jaw to pay an excessive wage in times of business depression and low- er costs of living as it is impossible at other times to obtain enouxh effi- cient workmen at wages much less than are commanded elsewhere. “Accordingly, the public printer or mome other agency should have the authority to readjust wages in the government printing office from time to time, the sume ns can now be done for every other industrial plant either under government or private control,” Representative Kiess say, But he points out that the House committee does not believe such a large power over public expenditures should be vested in any one officer without some suitable restriction or supervision. Accordingly. the bill provides that all rates of wages and 1 be for overtime and night work. le _committee submits the bill at this time, Representative Kiess says, to meet & ".t.

Representative Blanton of Texas, a minority member of the District com- mittee, “accused Chairman Focht of “sandbagging” this measure. Focht denied this and sald he hoped to call up the bill later on in the day, but that he had three or four important measures on which he hoped to get action without lengthy debate. Representative Blanton charged that the pay of school officials had been raised and that the teachers were denied a ralse through failure to bring the bill up for a vote. Chairman Focht replied that Rep- tive Blanton evidently ~had d his mind, because several d-‘l he had been against this bill and was urging that the entire X pen: f the schools should be borne by the District taxpayers. ——— The art of tinning plate iron was in- vented in Bohemia, and introduced at a later period into France, England and other countries. How are your gums? HOUSE PASSES ZIHLMAN | ACCOUNTANCY MEASURE The House, without a dissenting vote, yesterday passed the Zihiman bill to establish a board of accountancy for the District of Columbia. Rep- resentative Zihiman told the House that at the hearings on this measure it was shown that each of the forty- elght statse of the Union now has a law establishing a board to pass upon the qualifications of the applicants for certificates as certifled public ac- | countants, and such laws are anala- | gous to this bill for the District. Because of the absence of such a law in the District, & number of as- soclations, Representative Zihlman sald, have been incorporated and issue_ocertificates upon the payment of & fee without regard to the quali- fication or training of applicants. The bill defines a “public account- ant” and creates a board to be ap- pointed by the District Commission- ers, composed of men skilled in the science and practice of accounting. It afrects such boards to conduct ex- aminations in the theory and pr: tice of accounting and such related ubjects as the board may deem ad- isable. It authorizes the board to grant a certificate as “certified pub- lic accountant” to such persons as successfully pass these examinations. The bill provides that none shall as- sume the title or hold himself as certified public accountant in the Dis- trict without receiving a certificate from the proposed board of account- ancy. This bill passed the Senate March 16, 1922, and now goes to the Presi- dent for his signature. Tender, sore, or bleeding gums are a sure sign that all is not well in the mouth.
