C, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1924 trial concern negotiates with its em- ployes. The proposed minimum rate of 90 cents an hour for printers, pressmen and bookbinders s an increase of 15 cents an hour over their present satutory wage as fixed by the act of August 3, 1919. For several years government em- ployes have been granted by Congress an annual bonus of $240, which has also been paid to employes of the government printing_office. This bonus has effected a tempo- rary wage increase of approximately 10 cents an hour, so that the rate ceive any additional compensation, such as the $240 bonus. In reporting this bill the joint committee on print- ing considered several wags bills and is of the opinion that the fixing by law of wages of all employes in the overnment printing office is “utterly impracticable and that it would not be Just or faif to determine. by act of Congress the wages of only cer- tain groups of employes.” The committee feels that the wages and compensation for the various ETOups ought to be determined in the same manner as any large indus- actually pald printers, pressmen and bookbinders has been 85 cents an hour, or § cents less than the maximum fixed in the Kiess bill. The joint’ committee reached the conclusion that the trades affected are cntitled to some increase in their basic pay, and for that reason recom- mended the minimum rate of 90 cents an hour. With such a basis the rates of pay for all empioyes can be prop- erly readjusted, as proposed in the bill, the committee feel “The minimum increase of 5 cents an hour over the present statutory wage plus the bonus will add approximate- 1y half a million dollars a year to the Dpayrolls of the government printing office. Every increase or 10 cents an hour meang approximately a milllon dollars a year additional to the wage cost of the big printing establish- ment. Besides the wage provision, the principal change in the bill on- sidered by the rules committee today is the limiting of the number of ap- prentices to 200, as provided by ex- isting law, and removing the restric- toins that the wage committee shall consist of cmployes.
