department at the disposal of the Los

fasten a charge Of dynamiting upon
organized labor, has just been made
Governor Gillett of California. Knox
had intended to keep his activity a
matter of complete secrecy and is
reported to have furiously denounced
the stupidity of Gillett in allowing the
contents of private kilograms to get
into the hands Of newspaper men.
The exposure Of Knox 8 sleuth work
came with the arrest and demand for
extradition Of three men in a schooner
in the harbor of Acapulco, Mexico,
whom the Secretary of State is trying
to connect with the Times explosion.
That these men have no connection
whatsoever with the Los Angeles cat
astrophe and that the wild stories of
the Pinkertons employed on the job
by Otis has caused the man hunt to
turn in despair to Mexico because moth
ing has been discovered in the United
States, is the opinion Of labor leaders
in Washington who are keeping in
close touch with the entire case. The
action of the Secretary Of State being
without precedent in turning his office
into private detective agency, and
SO plain in it's bias against organized
labor, that the matter will oe the sub
