to any remarkable degree and It Is
not to be expected that it should. The

suit of events of many months and a

A PRINTER dope SHEET

: No union printer who has been at
all in touch with current events has
had any doubt for considerable time
past that the administration of the af-
fairs of the International Topographic
cal Union has been conducted in the
manner of a huge personal and politi-
cal machine.
The pretense that this is not so has
been dropped. There is no longer any
serious attempt to conceal it. Letters
containing more or less piteous ap-
peals are being sent out to individual
printers all over the country. The APP
peal in every case is for votes for the
head OF the machine.
Those letters are in every case
signed james M. Lynch" They are
enclosed in every case in stamped en-
velopes, the cost of which has been
paid out of the funds of the Interna-
tional Typographical union.
A number Of these begging letters
Of Mr.. Lynch are being passed from
st. Paul. Many of them have found
their way into this office and they
make mighty interesting reading.
Last week Farmer" Hays, Jim
Lynch's man Friday, was in this city
on an organizing trip" He. pam
handled number of prints for votes
for the boss. He was in Minneapolis,
He was here organizing" of course
organizing to hold his job under
Lynch. He is now back in Indianapol-
is unless he has left that town recent
ly. And, coincident with his return, it
may be remarked, incidentally, many
written to those of the ST. Paul print
ers with whom, as Farmer" Hays no
doubt advised the boss, missionary
work by Lynch himself might be effec-
tive.
Some unkindly comparisons have
been made between the relative cost of
organizing single local of the Typo
graphical union under Lynch and un-
der his predecessors. That fact is not
surprising. The figures of Expenses
Of the favorite organizers, published
each succeeding month in the Typo.
graphical Journal, dispense with all
thought of surprise. Just what the
expense" of Mr.. Hays organizing trip
up in these parts last week will be to
the printers who are asked to keep
him in Office will be made more or less
plain in the next issue of that Journal
Meanwhile, we printers here in st
Paul have Mr.. Hays assurance that
Henry Street Hudspeth is a mere light
weight-which Mr.. Lynch surely is
not physically, however the fact may
be as to his mentality. And mean
while. also, dissatisfaction continues
to grow among printers here and else
where that the cost of sending Mr.
Hays and other organizers all over this
country to disseminate this important
information does not seem to admit o.
any reduction.
Credence is not given in this office
to the statement which some printers
are giving currency to that if Mr.
Lynch is reelected he will ask fol
another raise in pay. While he asket
