With your permission, Mr. Chairman, I will state as to the letter of Mr. Wilcox, to which I referred yesterday in connection with the suggestion from Mr. Malcomson as to the need of including lithographs in the specification of subject-matter, that the passage which I should have read if I had had the letter here (it was with the stenographer) was this: I congratulate you that the bill has taken this definite form and is now to be given a preliminary hearing, so that it will be in shape to be urged for passage next winter. The bill is a monument to the industry and broad intelligence and information of those who have been actively concerned in drafting it. * * * As affecting the interest of my client, the Consolidated Lithograph Company, which is a large producer of lithographic and other prints, engravings, etc., especially for use as posters, the form of the bill seems satisfactory to me, and I have no doubt it will be so to my client.

I suggest this, Mr. Chairman, as appropriate to be inserted in connection with the discussion of the fees yesterday by Mr. Remicher. It bears on that point. The CHAIRMAN. That will go in the record. Mr. PUTNAM. I handed in, I believe, yesterday, a statement in writing from Mr. A. W. Elson, of Boston, making certain specific recommendations for changes. He telegraphs me, "Written presentation sent you fully covers my view." That is in answer to an inquiry as to whether he wished to have a hearing before the committee. I have received a communication from the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, as follows:
