LABOR HEADS GIVE
SLATE TO SMITH
Endorsement Of Lynch Sets
Democratic Wheels in
Notion.

state labor leaders presented their
legislative program yesterday to Alfred
&. Smith, Govenor-eiect, at his head
quarters in the Bntinorc Hotel. but
made no recommendations concerning
appointments. Mr.. Smith received the
report, listened to the arguments OF sew
eral members OF the legislative and ex-
ecutive committees Of the State Fedora
ton. but made no comment.
The Governor-elact was silent, also,
regarding reports of q fight that has
broken out In labor and Democratic or
ganization quarters over the candidacy
OF James NJ. Lynch Of Syracuse for the
position of State Industrial Commits
sionor.
The protest against Lynch has been
carried to Charles +. Murphy. Tamnlany
leader, who apparently Is sitting as UNI
pire In such patronage disputes. Enan-
uel Kovalesky. member of the executive
committee OF the State Federation. and
William II. Kelly, Democratic leader OF
Onondaga and close upstate ally OF

state that both labor and the Tanlnaany

MAYOR O'MARA IN FEAR
McGrath, Counsel for Dali
Eireann, Gets Death Threat
in Letter.

Fearing for the life OF Stephen O'Mara.
Lord Mayor OF Limerick and one Of Ea-
mon de valera's lieutenants. representa-
tives Of the former Provisional Govern
ment applied in the Supreme Court yes
terday for an order directing the Free
State TO show why security should not
be given for the safe production Of
O'Mara before judicial commission in
Ireland. The order was made return
able December 1s
This action--unusual., as an American
court OF law was asked TO recognize that
O'Mara was likely to be executed by the
Free Staters-was taken as one step In
the controversy over the funds OF the
Irish Republic collected during the sale
Of Irish Republic bonds. The order,
which was granted by Supreme Court
Justice Muilan, also requires the repre-
ssntatives OF the Free State In this coun-
try to show cause why the wherea bouts
OF O'Mara should not be disclosed and
why commission should not be ap-
pointed TO take his testimony In Ireland.
John #. F!nerty, national president OF
the Association for the Recognition of
the Irish Republic and attorney for De
Valery in this country, declared yester-
day that O'Mara had been arrested by
the Free State for the sole purpose OF
preventing him from testifying in this
country and that all efforts to And
where he was being held had failed
He pointed to letter written by O'Mara
in which he predicted his own arrest and
execution.
McGrath Gets a Warning
Daniel McGrath, counsel for the Dali
Eireann. got letter yesterday warning
him to leave this country before the
morning of December 26. The letter
signed Authority, Irish Republican
Army" declared that McGrath had been
held morally responsible for the execu-
ton Of Rory O'Connor and his three
colleagues. Mr.. McGrath explained that
he had resigned his consulship on the
day O'Connor was shot.
There was undoubtedly a feeling Of
uneasiness among the Irish Republican
adherents here as to the fate of O'Mara
and a similar sense OF apprehension
among the Free State followers over the
letter sent to McCirath.
Mr.. Finerty said he had been unable
to get the slightest inkiing as to
O'Mara's whereabouts or safety since
his arrest November IL by Free State
authorities. lie had intended sailing for
the United States January 81. He had
expected to testify In proceedings
brought by the Free State to enjoin
him against removal Of the s2.5o0,0o0
Irish Republic bonds now on deposit
in nle Hartman National and other
New York city banks. He believed him
in danger"

Lynch Has Labor Backing.

The labor organizations in Syracuse
last week indorsed Lynch for head OF
the state labor department. and that
started trouble. At a meeting or the
State Federation IN Albany last Tues
day an attempt was made TO put through
a resolution indorsing Lynch and others.
In the dscus.Nn It was charged that
Lynch had supported William X. Hearst
for the nomination for Governor, against
the wishes OF the Syracuse Democrats.
The federation concluded finally NOT
to indorse candidates for any OFFICES
and to devote its attention wholly to It's
program. But Immediately thereafter
the spokesman for the federation hurried
down to see Murphy and tell him he
must interfere, il necessary. to spike the
Lynch movement. Mr.. Lynch was form
erly head of the International Typo
graphical Union and was state Labor
Commissioner.
Mr.. Smith is asked by the labor lead
ers to conduct an investigation into the
use Of the State police IN Industrial
disputes. Among thes recommendations
made are that State fund be estab-
lished for exclusive use in Industrial
compensation cases; declaring against
injunctions In labor cases: calling for
q minimum wage and eight hour day
and for reniodeling the State Labor De-
partment. Most OF the recommendations
were IN the Democratic State platform.

Old Father Moon Man, being a ia
ther, did not go around and peek I'm
der the blankets as a mother would
have done. Instead, he sailed off to
find a nice, leecy cloud for himself
where he could go to sleep.
Just as soon as gentle South Wind
vas gone the little, wide-awake star
began to peek about to see where the
other stars were, but not one did 1t
see, for, of course, they were all
asleep like good little stars.
But Wide Awake Star did not like
the fleecy cloud blankets, and as it
lifted a corner of one out popped the
little star, for, of course, it, too, awoke
as sOon as the blanket was lifted.
Then off ran Wide Awake Star and
the other little star, and pretty soon
they had all the stars awake, too, and
off went the cloud blanket sailing
away.
There was no more winking ant
blinking it was all twinkle now, fol
each little star was so full of bright
ness it could not keep still and the
clouds, who thought they were being
treated very badly, came %scudding
about trying to find old Mr.. Moon
Nan to complain Of the twinkling
stars.
At last they found him and woke
him up. 1T isn't fair" they said. you
told us your children were fast asleep
and that we should have the sky to
ourselves"
We'll, goodness me-" exclaimed old
Father Moon Man, jumping up and
looking over the sky. 'Who woke
those children up, I wonder.
1T is no use trying to get them to
sleep again tonight you will have to
run along and come some other time,
he said.
But he knew that it was n
little vide awake star that was lefi
uncovered that did IN the mischief.
