President Lynch indignant
at Charge Against Unions

INDIANAPOLIS, October 1.-President
James NJ. Lynch of the International
typographical Union. when seen today
by a representative of the Associated
Press. made the following statement re-
sarding the explosion that wrecked the
plant of the Los Angeles Times:
THE Los Angeles Times has for many
years been q bitter. unrelenting and I'M
reasoning enemy of trade unionism, and
II is characteristic of the Times man
agement that Immediately after the eX-
plosion which wrecked it's plant and
without awaiting any investigation as to
the cause of the catastrophe. 1t should
charge the disaster to the trade unions,
as was done by the Times assistant gen.
eral manager.
'The Typographical Union resents
and refutes this charge. We have de-
fended ourselves against the attacks
made by the Times best we could,
but we have always fought fair.
Not Lawbreaking Body.
1.-THE International Typographical
Union is not a lawbreaking. dynamit-
ing institution. Its record of more than
sixty years existence is an honorable
one and entirely free from resort to
violence of any kind. 1t has won it's
cause and reached its present position
of strength and influence solely
through the justice of it's contentious
and in the lawful and orderly manner
In which it's aims have been prosecuted
and made effective. :.
No one regrets the Times catastrophe
more than I do. and especially the loss
of life following the explosion. On the
other hand. we are determined to protect
ourselves against the opportunity that
will he embraced by Gen. Otis and his
subordinates to attempt to fasten the ex-
plosion on the trade unions.
Blames Faulty Gas Mains.
To-day I caused to be sent to our rep
resentative in Los Angeles the following
telegram:
In conjunction with president and
board of trustees No ia, take such
measures may appear necessary to
protect International Typographical
Union and local union from any charge
of completely with alleged dynamting of
Times office. Press reports convince US
that explosion was caused by faulty gas
mains and due entirely to insanitary
condition of Times plant"

Hnd Honorable Record.
Among the organizations which dis
tinguished themselves by valiant SER
vice in the Civil War mono had more
picturesque career than the Eighth
New York, nor a more honorable rec
ord. The command was recruited from
Niagara. Orleans and Genesee counties
at the beginning of the struggle. and
numbered 1.soo men. two-thIrds of
whom lost their lives in the four years
fighting that followed.
The command assisted In the defense
of Baltimore until the spring of 1861.
when IL was ordered 10 join Grants
army in Virginia. 1t was on the after
noon of Juno of that memorable year
that the order was given to charge at
Cold Harbor. Owing to the sudden in
Prevention of a storm. the order was
countermanded until the next day. when
in the battle that ensped the Eighth
Artillery lost 6o5 men, Slincluding their
gallant commander. His body was
found two days later between the picket
posts OF the two forces. and several
days later. a truce in the meanwhile
having been declared. the bodies OF
the men who are inferred in the GEM
etery here were recovered, all of them
at that time being beyond Identification.
In his memoirs General Grant states
that the charge of the Eighth Artillery
at Cold Harbor was one OF the most
disastrous mistakes of the war, as 1t
was practically known beforehand that
the command was doomed to annih1la-
ton. The loss to the brigade in tha
charge was the second greatest sus-
tanned by any organization during tho
conflict To-day less than zoo mems
hers of tho famous old regiment res
main.
The veterans will bring their stay in
Richmond to close this afternoon.
when they will return to their homes
III their native State. They express a.
desire to meet any of the men who
were on the other side at Cold Harbor.
to clasp with them the hand OF friends

JAN|T OR S WIN
In COMM TEE
Tempest in Teapot Between
Council Committees Over
Cleaning City Hall.

The much discussed contest between
Building Inspector Beck, who is Gus
todian Of the City Hall. and his force
OF jnnitors. is to BIO transferred to the
floor of the Council. The action of
the Committee on Grounds and Build
inss last night makes 1t rather a con-
test between that body and the Com
recommended conflicting ordinances
The whole thing began through an
apparently laudable desire on the part
OF the janitors to have their pay
raised They were getting sos per
month, were permanently employed.
and were working under the direction
of the Building Inspector, keeping the
building cleaner than it has been kept
in years. The Committee on Grounds
and Buildings, months ago, recon-
mended that the pay be increased to
S65 per month, and went on TO specify
that the janitors should be elected by.
and be responsible to the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings.
The paper went The usual rounds.
The Committee on Ordinance. Charter
and Reform thought the increase not
excessive. and recommended 1t. In the
Finance Committee the whole question
was gone over. the view being express
ed that the man who was held respon-
slble for the condition OF the building
should have the power to employ and
suspend members of his force.
The Superintendent OF Street Clean
ing. it was pointed out, employs all OF
his men, without Intervention of the
committee on that subject; similar
conditions exist in the Street Depart
ment. the Water and Light Depart
ments, and other places where labor is
employed.
The Committee on Finance therefore
recommended a substitute ordinance.
providing that the Grounds and Build
ings Committee should have general
care of the City Hall; providing for
two firemen, two watchmen. three ele-
vator men. at varying salaries. and
then for not more than seven Janitors.
at SECS per day, and providing that
the janitors shall be appointed by the
Building Inspector, and that they
might be removed for cause. such re-
moval to be reported TO the commit
tee at its next meeting.
Then the janitors declared they would
not be put on a per diem basis, where
they might be laid off at times, or
where they would not be paid on days
they did not show up for work. When
the ordinance came to the Council 1t
was recommitted to the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings and was
wrestled with by subcommittee.
headed by Mr.. Don Leavy. Last night
the subcommittee reported to the gem
eral committee recommending the
original ordinance. and its chairman
described the work OF the Finance
Committee as "high-handed piece
of Interference calculated to destroy
the dignity of this committee" Mr.
Moncure and Chairman Batkins
thought the Inspector should have
some control of his labor. but they
were in hopeless minority
An extended detail report. providing
for the reopening of certain play
grounds was adopted, and the sub
committee on Fairgrounds was au-
thorized to send one of Its members
to attend convention of playground
experts in Rochester, N. T.. at cost
not to exceed 500. out OF the play

The wholequestion was one OF con-

that the Seboard be required to al.

of the normal switching charge,

venient to uload from the Seaboard

ceiving railwy.
For eXamIe, shipment might be
received owe the Richmond, Freder-

easier. to uroad from the Seaboara

cepting the Fitching charge.

however. reaY TO agree to accept
