PRIVATE PRINTING FOR. 5. ATTACKED McCarl Accused of Exceeding| Authority—Congress Group Asked to Act. Charging the Controller General with illegal assumption of power in ordering the printing of official tabulating cards done clsewhere than at the Govern- ment Printing Office, Public Printer George H. Carter has submitted the matter to the joint congressional com- | mittee on printing for adjustment. “The Controller General has also taken upon himself the right to de- termine whether the Government ng Office is equipped to do satis- v printing,” Mr. Carter complains, “and, if he decides otherwise, to auth- orize printing to be done clsewhere, not- withstanding the act of March 1, 1919.” This would apply, he said, even to the Congressional Record. In view of the recent decision Controller General McCarl, under which the printing of millions of tabu- lating cards tor acpartmental use has been discontinued. the Public Printer has gone over M s head in asking the joint com e for further defi= nition of the ciass of work that shall be done or procured by him in com- pliance with the act in question, which provides that all printing for Govern- ment establishments in Washington shall be done at the Government Print- ing Office. | Puts It Up to Congress. | Unless and until Congress directs | him to proceed with the printing of tabulating cards, Mr. Carter has in- formed the joint committee that he has no other alternative than to accede to the decision of the Controller General that this work be done under private contract. Meanwhile, the Government Printing Office has served notice on all heads of executive departments and in- dependent establishments in Washing- ton that it will not be able to accept orders for the cards. The Printing OI- | fice, at the time, had orders on hand for approximately 10,000,000 in the course of manufacture, which will be completed with paper stock on hand if | the various departments so desire. The trouble with Controller General McCarl arose over an opinion sustain- | ing a complaint of the Shipping Board | that the Government-made cards were | unsatisfactory and authorizing that| board, Carter charges, to procure cards irom a tabulating company without re- gard for the law. In sustaining the complaint of the Shipping Board, Mc- Carl is said to have claimed the abso- lute right to set aside the act of March 1, 1919, on the ground that tabulating | machines are essential to the work of the Government, which, he asserts, can function only with the labulating cards supplied by the machine companics. Either the act in question should be compiled with by the controller gen- eral, Mr. Carter declared, or it should be repealed and that office given the legal right to order printing done else- where than at the Government Print- ing Office. “If the controller general is to be conceded the power to decide arbitrarily what class of work shall not be done by the Government Printing Office,” he added, “as in the case of tabulating cards, there will be nothing to prevent his ordering any other printing or binding, including even the Congressional Record, to be done under contracts awarded by him.” Meanwhile, in the case of the tabu- lating cards, the Public Printer charged, “the Government will continue at the mercy of the tabulating machine com- panies in the prices they may charge for their machines and printed cards, until Congress may determine whether the printing of the cards shall be done as required by existing law, or whether the monopoly of the tabulating ma- chine companies and the refusal of the paper manufacturer to sell his roduct to the Government shall be egalized and the administration of the Government Printing Office turned over to the controller general.” The public printer has supplied the committee with a complete statement relating to the rental of tabulating machines and the purchase of printed tabulating cards by various Government establishments. - The statement relates to contracts which Carter charges dis- criminate against the Government Printing Office, in violation of the Clay- ton act prohibiting unfair trade agree- ments, and ignore the act of 1919 re- quiring all Government printing to be done at its own plant. “The purpose of these tying con- tracts,” he said, “is to compel the Government Printing Office to stop printing tabulating cards and to perfect the monoply which the two tabulat- ing machine companies are seeking to fasten on the Government.” Confronted with this situation, the public printer filed in 1927, a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against the machine companies. It was not until 10 months afterward, however, that the commission dismiss- ed the complaint “without further ac- tion,” as the matter complained of did not call for “the exercise of those remedial powers granted by law to the commission.” . Found Dead on Chair. Edward Dorsey, colored, 60 years old, Toomer at 426 Florida avenue, was found dead seated on a chair in his room early last evening. A physician from Freedmen’s Hospital appeared in response to an emergency call, ex- amined the body and found Dorsey had been dead some time. Death was due to natural causes Final Reductions Shoes Regularly Priced $10 to $18.50 About 400 pairs that to make room for new Spring styles.
