Keppler is said to be seeking the
position of grand lodge president
now occupied by ]. ]. Johnson, who
is also "a member of the Taft-Walsh
board which is scheduled to come to
Bridgeport next Monday.
1t was further pointed out that the
method pursued by the leaders of the
local trouble was first to embroil the
men in aSstrike and then repudiate the
orders of the grand lodge president.
This automatically made the local or
ganization an outlaw body which
would eventually be brought back to
the fold to support the men who had
led them in their fight against the
manufacturers.
1t is said Keppler plans to be that
man, but he cannot come to Bridge
port at present owing to difference
he had with the local organization
in 1915 when he was denounced for
an alleged douole= crossing of the
Iinion.
Under those circumstances he must
have a representative here to do his
bidding and that representative is the
business agent of the union, who it
is said makes frequent trips, some OF
which are alleged to be to Washing
ton, but in reality to ia Nassau Il
