fact 6 7 pu 5 f § Is UNFAIR COMPETITION Press Associations and Country Newspapers Ozzo&d to the Practice; Campaign Is In Progress The campaign, being {waged by the | newspapers and printing industry . of | the country against the practice of | the federal government in printing| stamped : envelopes for sale to the| public is being carried|into congress| and the following statement from the | interests backing this fight explains| its cause and purposes: | Equality of opportunity is imposâ€" sible under the present system. The Post Office Department contracts with one manufacturer for producing about 11,000,000 envelopes per day and sells these nvélopes â€" with a printed corner cars in quantities as small as 500 at the contract prise plus cost of handling but no profit. The additional margin to cover cost of handling is so figured that they can gell 1,000 envelopes boxed and packed "and all delivery costs absorbed in Manila, Alaska, California and Maine at the same price as at the door of the factory. The "Pittsburgh plus" scheme by private interests is unlawâ€" ful. [ In 1890, the Government manufacâ€" tured and sold 540,000,000 stamped enâ€" wlopfa and in 1924 approximately 3,000,000,000. These figures represent the. enormous growth of Government competition with private business in the/ manufacture and sale of stamped envelopes. Unfair Competition How would other business men feel if the Federal Government unnecesâ€" sarily introduced conmipetition with them and suppliell. consumezs with their goods at cost or less than cost? â€" PAGE FOUR Stamped envelopes, were first deâ€" vised to enable the Post Office to get the revenue due it even when letters were carried outside of the mail, The corner card is to relieve the Dead Letter Office and should be required on all letters, but we contend that Uncle Sam should not be either printâ€" ing or selling them in competition with his tax payers. Obstructs Individual Endeavor The true field of Government is fully realized where it aids anfl prpoâ€" tects equal opportunity everywhere. It is decidedly unfair to all classes of taxpayers, especially printers and merchants of the country to have the employees of 55,000_‘Federal Post Offiâ€" ces, using their official positioins to compete with individuals engaged in private business. The present‘ policy of making every post office a branch house and turning about 400,000 postâ€" al employees into salesmen selling envelopes and printing, is unquestionâ€" ably a step in the wrong direction where a Government .of. freeâ€" men blocks &r hinders the pathwaq of inâ€" dividual endeavor. / â€" ‘It is to the interest of the postâ€" masters to sell as many of these stamped envelopes as possible because Solvay Coke Paul Borchardt â€" Highland Park Fuel Co.

F € No Financial Advantage _|â€" The Government, under the present law, cannot receive a~ profit arising from the sale gf these envelopes, $0 that a ‘claim df financial advantage cannot be urged in, support of the conâ€" tinuance of this system. * The printers and merchants in the small towns of this country are makâ€" ing «n effort to obtain relief from this harmful practice. Nobody would exâ€" ‘pect manufacturers and ~dealers in other lines to submit if the Governâ€" ment were a direct competitor selling to their customers at cost or less than eost, collecting all accounts and usâ€" ing the mails jto take away â€" their customers.. | 5.‘ We are asking economic .. JUSWEUE through â€"legislation. The corrective legislation that! we propose is for the elimination of | Government gompeti- tion with its citizens in the merchanâ€" dising and printing of stainped enâ€" velopes NOT in the manufa¢cture of them. . | . Our efforts are not unpophlar. In 1910, a similar: bill passed the House of Representatives 192 to 27, A poll of the U.S. Senate and Postal Com, mittee showed a similar ‘attitude toward it, but the chairman of that committee did not permit th¢ bill, as approved by the House, to come to a vote in tlge, Senate. With your help, this unfait Government competition can be ‘corrected. Volumg of ‘Business The printing of | envelopes in the average printing office is done on nlaten presses, and it is easy to realâ€" ize the magnitude. of the Governâ€" ment‘s business in this line when it is reduced to platen press â€" hours, It would take one platen press, running at the rate of ©1,500 per hour, a total of 754,829 hours to print the envelâ€" opes the government sold in bulk durâ€" ing 1922. This is equivalent to 94,â€" 354 days of eight hours each, Melo e o 2 Quite some job the Government is taking away from the printing inâ€" dustry of the nation. f North Shore Residents in the Receiving Line Friday Evening, Last ASSIST HOSTESS AT ANNUAL BOARD DINNER Dr. and Mrs. Elmer E.
