PALMER IS OUSTED|
Has Two Weeks to Forwarc NX
Resignation to President.
ACTION TOWARD RICKETTS' CAUSE
Thorough Reorganization of Werk
fag Feice of Government Printing |
Office Will Occur Under
New Osicial
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6G — Public
Printer F. W. Palmer practically has
been ousted from ollice. It was learn
«i authoritatively last night that Pres
kient Hoosevelt bad demanded Mr
Palmer's resignation, to take effect on
the 13th inst
The demand of the president for Mr
Palmer's resiguation wus due prima
rily to the latter's actfon lu trylug te
force Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of
printing, and IL. C. Hay, a foreman of
division, out of the government priut
iog office. Mr. Paliver askesl for the
resiguations of Ricketts and lay oo
the ground that they had been insub
ordinate. The public printer formulat
ed a series of charges against the twe
men. These charges, It is known, were
forwarded to Oyster Bay |
As soon as President Roosevelt
learned of the situation that had devel
oped he directed Public Printer Palmer
te forward to him Lis resignation, te
take effect ln two weeks
It bas been known for some time
that Mr. Palmer would vot be reap
pointed to his present office. For sev
eral mouths before President Roose
velit left Washington for Oyster Bay
he was casting about for a suitable
man for the position of public printer
He offered it to Jolin A. Sleicher of |
New York, but he declined it, having
something better lu view. Until this
time there has been uno change lu the
situation.
The investigation made by the Keep
commission into the letting of gs con
tract for seventy-two typesetting ma.
chines for use in the government print
ing office disclosed a serious condition
of affalrs in the management of the of
fice. Prominent men in the office force
were divided Into cliques, These
cliques were so detrimental to the in |
terests of the government that the
standard of efficiency in the establish |
ment was reduced materially
The evidence adduced by the com
mission In the course of its inquiry cre
ated much bitter feellug amoung the
men bolding high positions in the of |
fice. One of the direct results of this!
lc Printer Palmer for the resigua
tions of Ricketts and Hay. As the!
Keep commission Inquiry, so far as)
known, developed nothing to the disad. |
vantage of Ricketts or Hay, the presi. |
dent acted promptly In taking the
whole mstter out of Palmer's hands
and placing It in the hands of the Keep |
commission for such further (nvestiga
tion as might Le necessary. Coupled)
with this action ef the president was |
iguation.
With the Incoming of Mr. Palmer's |
successor—and there is ample authority |
for the statement that he bas not been
selected yot—It is expected a thorough |
reorganization of the working force ot |
the governmgut printing office will]
take place. Among the men mentioned |
in connection with the office are Oscar!
J. Ricketts, whom the public printer |
sought to remove; H. T. Brian, chief]
clerk of the office; William B. Hossiter, |
chief clerk of the census bureau, and |
John Leech, public printer in the Phil |
ippines. The office pays a salary of
$4500 a year. The annual disburse |
ments for the government printing of |
fice aggregate about §7,000,000,
