THE DYNAMITE CASE
HAS A SENSATION
Continued from Page One.)

In his editorial Mr.. Gompers con-
fines himself to a discussion of the
issues raised by the Mcnamara case,
saying of the case itself that he and
his colleagues will stand by the state
ment which they authorized soon at
ter the confession by the brothers.
Continuing his declaration that or
ganized labor is ready for the agents
of the law to begin the investigation,
Mr. Gompers saws:
"Files, records of all kind, account
books-everything in documentary
shape is open to them. All that has
been printed, or spoken or written to
our correspondents is subjected to
their inquiries. Every act of every otfi-
eial may be freely looked into. No
one is going TO dodge or run away.
Whatever can be done to aid the law
will be done at these offices.
This is our reply at headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
| To the clamor to get at the men high
| er up, to the repeated announcements
| in the press of "a nationwide investi-
cation by federal officials to the as
| sertions that behind the McNamaras
were men standing high in the eeun-
ellis of labor"
Mr. Gompers then propounds the ques-
ton: How is trade unionism to be af.
Ifected?' and in answering that his search
for light has brought nothing now, goes
on TO discuss the labor problem.
What has happened he says, 'has
been a deplorable incident, misfortune
| an exceptional course of action, but which
does not touch the essentials Of trade
| unionism."
| In conclusion, Mr.. Gompers speaks Of
| the concentrated effort and bitter ami
| mostly of the enemies of organized Ia
| Dor to crush out the spirit of the toll
efs," and he gives this parting admoni
| ton to his constituents; "Grit your teetl
and organize"

RUSSIA INDIFFERENT.
Importance of United States May Pos

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-The Rus
sian newspapers are paying small at
tention To the Russo American fela-
tions, About the only article publish
ed on this subject is an interview With
NJ. Timiriazeff, who was minister of
commerce IN the Witte cabinet. and
has taken a leading part in develop

says that if the Jewish question served

The Moscow newspapers ignore the
subject completely.
Apart from the lack of interest and
the unconcern which eharacterizes the
present Russian attitude it must be
said that appreciation and admiration

an appointment to receive William

Barnes call was significant in view OF
his recent criticism of both the Presi.

Secretary Hilles said that Mr. Koenie

addresses which he made here. that
one of the chief faults of our age is
that people are living too fast. Dur
ing his visit here, the President spoke
at five dinners, at each one of which
his reception was enthusiastic; laid
the corner stone for new home for
the blind; did Christmas shopping and
received many political leaders as
callers.
The Presidents last speech was be-
fore 400 members and guests of the
New York Young Republican Club at
a dinner given in honor of the Chief
Executive. He appeared at the din
ner at a late hour, just as Senator
Borah of Idaho was scheduled to
speak. Vociferous cheering and a
toast to his health marked the Pres

which the President afterward de-
scribed as having great force, imagery
and poetry, Senator Borah fayed
