.[YNCH'S FOES PLAN
TO FIGHT SELECTION
Consider Sending Of Protesting
Committee to Oppose Him
for Public Printer.

Opponents Of President James NJ.
Lynch, OF the International Typograph-
ical Union. slated for the position of
Government Printer, are discussing to-
day the matter of sending protesting
delegation to President Wilson. Strenu-
GUS opposition has developed over night,
and both District Democrats and anti
Lynch union printers are up in arms
against the proposed appointment.
Announcement of the fight over Lynch
in The Times yesterday was one Of the
sensations In District circles today
Democrats. who did not know the inside
Of the proposition, are in many cases
lining up with the insurgents. The
American Federation Of Labor. however
is prepared to put up just as stiff a
fight as the Democratic printers and
anti-Lynch unionists.
The District Democrats, opposed to
Lynch, are not unfavorable to the pay
ment OF a political debt by President
Wilson. nor opposed to the establish
ment Of a strong labor following by
reason Of a printery appointment, but
they are making one Of their strongest
arguments against Lynch on the ground
that for nearly twenty years he has
been a professional lapor union man,
and not a practical printer. Employees
OF the printery. except the Republicans
In the Lynch element of the union, are
saying that a practical man should have
the berth.

Judge Foil First Used
Anthracite as Fuel

The first man to use anthracite coal
as a domestic fuel was Judge Jesse
Foil, who was born in Buckingham. Pa.
162 years ago today. Experiments with
anthracite had been previously made by
two Connecticut blacksmiths, named
Fore. in 1858. but 1t was not until 1909
that Judge Foil demonstrated the great
commercial possibilities of the coal.
which is, except the diamond. the pur-
est form Of carbon known. + ...
In Judge Folrs day. anthracite was
called "stone COAL" and the early ex-
periments with II as domestic fuel are
amusing In the light of the present.
As anthracite kindles with difficulty.
and requires special furnaces, grate-
bars, and other fixtures, 1T was consid-
cred absolutely worthless before the ex-
periments OF Judge Foil and others
proved its great commercial posi-
bilities.
The annual production Is In the neigh
borhood OF 90, 900. 900 tons, and the value
of the mines about s175,ooo,oOo.

About two weeks ago he realized that
he was near the end. and sent a mes

came peacefully today.

No DISSOLUTION Of UNION PACIFIC MERGER
Attorney General Will Oppose Plan.
1t Is Too Vague to Meet the
Requirements.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. General NC
Reynolds disapproved both of the two
latest plans for the dissolution of the
Union Pacific merger which "a few
DAYS ago were submitted by the Union
Pacific railroad to the United States
court at st. Paul. The attorney gen.
eral will attend the hearing to be
held at st. Paul this week by Circuit
Judges Sanborn, Hook and Smith and
will oppose the adoption of either plan
on the ground that each is too vague
to meet the requirements OF the SUI
preme courts decision ordering the
dissolution of the merger under the
Sherman law.
Mr.. McReynolds Monday indicated
that he would not go before the court
with an insistence On a receivership
for the merger, as he said that was a
question for the courts. II a plan OF
dissolution of the merger satisfactory
to the court is not submitted by July
/, the supreme courts mandate pro-
yides for government receivership
to accomplish the dissolution.
Mr.. McReynolds said he sympa-
thized with the efforts which Robert
s. Lovett and other attorneys OF the
Union Pacific had made to draft a
plan of dissolution, but said the plans
proposed do not provide a definite
time for the surrender by the Union
Pacific of it's $126.650,00O worth OF
Southern Pacific stock and he also re
CARDS them as vague with respect to
the extent to which the present share
holders of the Union Pacific may pur
chase the surrendered Southern Pa
! cific stock.

STATE RIGHTS IN RATE CASE UPHELD
Supreme Court Decision for Minnie
sofa May Govern Other States
as to Rates.

Washington. power OF the
states to fix reasonable intrastate
rates on interstate railroads until sucn
time as congress shall choose to reguss
late rates was upheld Monday by the
supreme court of the United States IN
the Minnesota freight and passenger
rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles govern
ing the valuation of railroad property
for ratemaking purposes, and accord
ing to these held that the state OF
Minnesota would confiscate the prop
erty of the Minneapolis and st. LOUIS
Railroad Company by it's maximum
freight and &c passenger fare law. IT.
enioined the state from enforcing
these laws as to this road for the pres
ent. In the cases of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern, however,
the court held that these roads had,
failed to show that the rates were "un-:
reasonable" or confiscatory, and con-
sequently reversed the United States
district court for Minnesota, which had
enioined their enforcement as both
confiscatory and a burden on inter-
state commerce.
The criticism of the apportionment
of the valuation between intrastate
and interstate business on gross reVe..
nue. basis and the apportionment OF
expenses by regarding intrastate busl'
ness as two and a half times as ex-
pensive as interstate business was re-
garded here as favorable to the state
of Missouri in it's fight to uphold the
validity of the maximum freight and
&c passenger law enacted by it. SINH
lar confidence was inspired in advo-
Gates of the Arkansas state rate regu-
lations, but all recognized that the
statement of the court that each case
of alleged confiscation must rest on
its own bottom, might mean the set
ting aside of the Missouri and Arkan'
sas laws. The states of Oregon and
Kentucky were regarded as almost
certain to win their rate cases, IN
volying the validity of state freight
rates. but in each instance practically
the only objection to the laws was
their reputed interference with inter
| state commerce.
