Tense would have to exhaust a pre-
emptory challenge on him. Among
other jurymen is Baker. proprietor OF
the Baker Iron Works, where the
metal workers have been on strike a
year He is a member of the board
OF directors of the NJ. & NJ. and has
a record as an open shop advocate
Two OF the Llewellyn brothers. pro-
prietors Of the Llewellyn Iron Works

he placed the nitro glycerine that
blew up the shanty and did a couple

have been fighting labor for years and
the strike in their works has been In

These are but few samples of the
kind of men selected for jury duty.
When II comes to men who are not

Judge. made a dark outlook for the
imprisoned workers awaiting trial.
Despite this frameup but four conyic-

rests Many men were imprisoned by
the imposition OF excessive ball and
by this method punished before triai
only to be acquitted or get discharge
after the juries had disagreed.
Every man whose name is drawn in
the Mcnamara case is at once sur
rounded by operatives and from that
hour he is a marked man. When he
enters the court room his entire life

In the big case is not particularly
bright for the defendants.
