To THE ..DIroR or THE SUNDAY. GLOBE;
An article signed Navy Yard In

pears in your paper Of this date. The
writer attempts to convey the idea that
foreman Lynch is running the Navy
Yard to his own liking. To any one
not prejudiced by failing to secure an
appointment as sub-foreman, this Is
simply bosh Foreman Lynch is liked
better by the men generally than any
other foreman in the yard, because Of
his fairness to all. He is strictly i'm
partial having no friends to reward
nor enemies TO punish, His ability
cannot be questioned. AS a member of
the board of examiners, he has only
one vote as against two Naval officers
I'm making up the record Of eXamina'
tions.
Relative to the case of Mr. George
Dunn, the facts are these: Mr.. Dunn
came 70 the yard about iteen years
ago, and connected himself with the
branch known as the erection Of ele,
yatOT hosts Step by step he ad-
yanced, gathering knowledge by eX-
perience, until he was made quarter
man, owing to his usefulness to the
Government. II is now proposed to ad-
yauce the grade to master mechanic.
| With the long experience, can not 1t
readily be seen why he would have the
advantage over all competitors with
| less experience Admitting the fact
that foreman Lynch favored Mr.. Dun
Is there anything improper in that
when Dunn has been one Of his able as
sstants for many years, and justly
earned his promotiOn2
II appears TO me that "Machfnist
is drawing upon a vivid imagination
or writing on "a theory from informa
tion furnished by people who are not
we'll informed, The man who acts
square with himself will be honest
with the eGoyernment, and the mechanic
who by sobriety, industry and integri
ty acts well bis part, will meet with
fairness and just ce by the inspector
