Court by County PROSECUTORS
In Indianapolis,

WASHINGTON. Dec. tive have
nothing to hide. We are ready at any
time for the agents OF the law to begin
investigating" Samuel Gompers says In
an editorial on "GRbor's Position Lawful
and Progressive which will appear in
the January issue OF the American
Federationist MI Gompers pledges his
fun cooperation In any investigation
which may be made. The forthcoming
number OF the official organ OF the
federation will be the first to appear
since the Mcnamara brothers confessed
In his editorial Mr.. Gompers confines
himself to discussion OF the issues
raised by the Mcnamara case saying OF
the case itself that he and his colleagues
will stand by the statement which they
authorized soon after the confession Of
the brothers.
Continuing his declaration that organ
/ lied labor is ready for. the agents OF the
law to begin the investigation, Mr.. Com
pers says;
"Fies, records Of all kinds, account
books-everything is open 60 them. All
that has been printed or spoken or writ
ten to our correspondents is subject TO
! their inquiries. Every act Of every Of
fetal may be freely locked into. No
one is going to dodge or run away. What
ever can be done to aid the law will be
done at these offices
This Is our reply at headquarters OF
the American Federation or Labor TO the
clamor to get the men higher up to the
repeated announcements In the press Of
a nation wide Investigation by federal
officials to the assertions that behind
the McNamaras were men standing high
in the counsels OF labor
Mr.. Gompers then propounds the uues-
ton, How Is trade unionism to be af-
fected?" and in answering that his search
for light has brought nothing new, goes
on TO discuss the labor problem.
What has happened" he says, has
been a deplorable incident, a misfortune,
an exceptional course OF action but which
does not touch the essentials OF trade
unlonism"
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2l.-Assert-
Ing that Robert J. Foster, a detective en-
gagged by the National Erectors' assoeia-
ton in the dynamiting investigation, was
interfering with him, County Prosecutor
Frank p. Baker forclbly took Foster
before Judge Joseph Marley of the Grim
nal court and asked for protection.
Judge Markey, who was conducting a
murder trial reprimanded the prosecutor
for interrupting, but Mr. Baker persisted
and snatching a club from a policeman
threatened Foster.
Court officers drew Baker away, and
Judge Markey ordered him to appear In
court tomorrow to show cause why he
should not be held in contempt. The
Judge took no cognizance OF the charge
against Foster.
