...finally, the necessity of recopying an entire page of manuscript if the proofreader discovers one or two typograhpical errors, all combine to make the process longer than the requirements of a modern newspaper press demand. Another restriction is that the process cannot be used for the better grade of book work.

"Men ought not to be selected to represent the Government," says Senator Watson, further, "who are against all government." The inference is that the "Bolsheviks" Senator Watson has discovered in the Federal Trade Commission are against all government--i.e., that they are Anarchists.
