§ MR. MACVEAGHTo ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the satisfaction with which the boy copyists have received the recent concession of service marks in competing for subsequent examinations, he will consider the advisability of making a similar provision for assistant clerks of the abstractor class.
(Answer.) It is not intended to extend the system of service marks lately sanctioned for boy copyists to the assistant clerks of the abstractor class. The two cases are not similar and the reasons which justify the allowance in the case of boys do not apply in the case of abstractors.—(Treasury.)
