N E W ) REP. L RS TILT WITH MANN On Patent Ofilce Mat ter—Notes of - Interest From Washington Washington, Feb. 11.—Representa- tive E. J. Hill of Connecticut is op- Dosed to a bill that pi today providing for reorganization of the patent office here. The feature ghat Mr. Hill objected to particularly the number of examiners from 3 He | he did not object to increasing | ed the house was increase of the chief to 5. said the salaries of the Mr. Hill during a colloquoy Mann assistant examin- | outlined his position he had with Rep- | of Tllinois, the re- who spoke in favor ers. ‘resentative publican leader, of the bill. Mr. Hill interrupted to make an obser- vation and the following colloquoy ensued Mann-Hill Controversy. Mr. Hill. I know very little about the matter, but this objection is pre- sented to me that the increase in the number examiners from three to #ve will make a large duplicaion of | the work. The gentleman just made | an explanation as to the way.in which the work is done. I should like to ask this question: If it required the al of another examiner, making of three to make a report effective, would it not require three out of five, and consequently is not the eriticism a genuine one that it would require a great duplication of work, | and would really accomplish nothing | toward perfecting® or improving the | work of the Patent Office? Mr., Mann. I do not think se there be no more cases the five examine than there for the three to examine, and one who examines his case” in t instance will be able to give ns tion to it than he is because each exam- will have a fewer During Mr. Mann’s speech two our be for are each will to more c now able to iner indivi | Unanimously of cases to pass upon in the Of course, in the end over all number first instance. each one goes theoretically these cases, or is supposed to. Mr ]hll But as a matter they do not. Is'not that so? As a matter of fact, the opinion of two out of three is now considered to be the opinion of the whole hoard, whereas if this change is made it will hereafter require three out of five to carry the opinion of the board, and consequently will create a great deal of duplication. Mr. Mann. Why, no; T seec how it will create any tion. I think the fact is that one examiner prepares his opinion it is now submitted to the other two miners, and it requires the ap- of two out of the three to put the decision into force: when if five examiners, and it requires approval of two out put the decision into force; when if five examiners are provided for it will be submitted to all five; but that is no duplication of the work, because each of fact can duplica- | one has to examine all of these cases in some way, an original approval. Mr. Hill. Ts this a unanimous re- port from the committee? Mr. Mann. Yes.
