LYNGHOPPOsED FOR
PUBLIC PRINTER
Secret Conferences of Pro-
test = Not Actual
Worker is Claimed.
ALLEGED B A G X Err S.
Candidate Attacked by n-Union
Men and Charge is Made That He
Never was Democrat.

Washington, April l5.-Announce-
ment that James M. Lynch, presiden;
of the International Typographical
Union, is slated for the job of Public
Printer, has thrown bomb into
local Democratic circles, especially
in the printery. Secret conferences
of protest are under way today.
There is war in the ranks.
Lynch will be opposed bitterly by
large percentage of the govern
ment printers who claim allegiance
to the Democratic party.
Lynch is branded as a professional
labor union man who has been out OF
the actual work of printing for a
long term of years. His appointment
is backed by the Lynch element OF
the Typographical Union, which in
the case of tho Government Print
ing Office, happens TO be large ma
jority of Republican holders of posi-
tons
Two hundred Democrats, who went
to their homes to vote, in the last
campaign, and who contributed ST.
200 the Wilson fund are leaders in
the fight against Lynch.
The strife involves not only Demo-
cratic politics but also Typograph'-
cal Union politics.
Lynch, it is claimed, has been OPP
posed for three years In the Columbia
Union of the International body. Only
once has he succeeded in obtaining
the Endorsement of the local body.
He is said to be at the head OF the
Wahnets faction of the Typographl-
cal Union. There has been for years,
bitter fight between this element
and the anti-Lynch movement. No"
it is centering around his proposed
appointment Ito the government
berth.
His opponents are protesting that
his rule would mean unpleasant condl
tons for them. Non-union men are
claiming that he would close the shop
and require every employe to have a
union card. This was decided as un-
constitutional in the Roosevelt adj
ministration, but it is believed that
Lynch would have the power to force
such action without violating he
rules of the civil service under
which government printers work.
The anti-Lynch man are branding
him with the accusation that he has
never been strong Democrat. They
saw that his efforts have been devoted
!, chiefly to labor union politics in
II the past twenty years, and that his
work for the Democratic party has
been extremely weak.
Furthermore, the Democratic fac
ton in the government printery and
in the District are opposed because it
savors of playing into the hands Of
the Republicans who hail his pro-
posed appointment with extreme
rlee. He would be able to boost
their cause, while at the same time
he could play strongly for the favor
of the Lynch faction OF the Inter
national
Many leaders in the international
and in the American Federation OF
Labor are back of Lynch because
,they want member Of the inner
circle in an important government
berth. 1t might enable them, they
believe, to accomplish unionizatlon
in the shop even more effectively
shat it is now organized.

bodies of her children and husband
with bullet holes in their heads. Ac-
cording to the police, the children
were playing in the yard when their
father called them upstairs to his

They came down with Marvin Meyer
in Mr.. Wigram's auto and will be un-
able to return until today These gen
tlemen were elected on March 4th by
large majorities and will assume office
on the first of April. One of the pc
culiar incidents in connection with the
election of a commissioner of water
works in Delta, is that the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
lis not a property owner and cannot
hold office under the charter. Daniel
Wagner received 342 votes against
his opponents 307. 1t developed after
the count that Mr.. Wagoner's exten-
SlNe property nOlulnRS are IN MS

porary commissioner will be appointed
until the next election.
Copies of the Delta charter were
brought with the commissioners and
show that it is an excellent document
1t is modelled after the Grand June
tion charter in many respects but con-
tains some provisions which are con
sidered by many as superior to the
local council. The recall provision
calls for a twenty per cent petition
