in mind that the Department OF Agri-

LYNCH IN
TROUBLE
Oklahoma Cisy Delegates Say Haskell
was ExhonoTated al the
Muskogee Meeting

Okl4homa News: Union labor and
the Haskell censure muddle are get
ting more involved.
Oklahoma City representatives at
the meeting of the executive com
mittee Of the state federation Of labor
have returned from Muskogee. They
tell the story Of that meeting called
because Of the charges that the re-
port Of j. Harvey Lynch, state Sec
retary, denouncing G. N. Haskell, as
an enemy Of organized labor, was
falsifed. Haskell is candidate for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor.
The committee cleared Haskell,
and Lynch will retract his charges
in this weeks issue of his labor pa
per- He viii also issue 10000 extra
copies, giving the widest possible
circulation to his retraction.
The committee found that Haskell
had joined the Citizens Alliance at
Muskogee, as the 49th member Of So,
but that he had moved that the clause
barring members Of labor unions
from its MEMBERSHIP be stricken from
the constitution furnished by the ma
tional alliance, and that, when the
national alliance had refused to grant
a charter with this clause omitted, he
had moved to adjourn sine die.
These facts are as Haskell had
claimed in his statement when at
tackled by Lynch.
Before the action Of the executive
committee had become known the
Chickasha Trades Council passed the
resolutions against Haskell based on
Lynch's report ,and which he had had
passed at Shawnee, but which the
Oklahoma City trades assembly re-
fused him.
Bitter charges were made against
Lynch at Chickasha, and the entire
matter is likely to come before the
next state convention, If Lynch is a
candidate for reelection.
Labor leaders are now trying to
bar politics from union organizations
in the new state.
