DEMOCRATS MUCH ALARMED
Lest Their Printing Contract should
Hurt Their pnrty.


Officers Of the Democratic congressional
committee, who are busily engaged In send
ing out documents for use in the fall cam
paign, have made discovery which is Civ
ing them some concern. The contract for
doing the printing for the committee was
recently awarded to a firm in this city. The
committee has been told that the firm does
not employ union printers, and has for that
reason been denounced as "rat" Office by
the local typographical union, and put un-
der the ban Of boycott by the Knights Of
Labor. The committee is tied up TO the
contract, and TO be released from It would
probably cost more than would be pleasant,
considering that the committee Is having
hard work to secure the funds II wants for
regular expenses. Chairman Kenna and
his colleagues are hoping that their contract
will not become generally known among
the Knights OF Labor, and arc wondering
what effect It would have II the knights did
