TENNESSEE CO. ID STOP USING
 CONVICT LABOR Contract With State Will Not Be Renewed at
 Years End CONNECTS WILL BE
 USED AT BANNER As Generally Known the State VIII Begin Operation of This Mine as Soon as Stockades
 Are Ready

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rallroao ronpany will soon cease to use convict ,sbor In its coal mines. On the first or r.n,,arv the state convicts now leased and employed in the mines at Pratt olty will be turned back to the state ahu inst as soon as the contracts wlth tue various counties expire the company Will forthwith give up those conVicts'
 If was authoritatively announced at the Tennessee company's offices yesteruaS that the company would not again olu for any convicts.
 The lease of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company upon state eoh- victs. which 1t was generally knoWn' was to be cancelled at the end ot lsl@ VIII thus he cancelled effective January l. II is said. at the request of the state au- fhorities. ..
 The company will accordingly cease lo onerate its mine at Pratt City known as No mine. and also the mine known as No 12 with convict labor. Some tlrn9, will as a matter of course, elapse be1ore ,be mines can be relieved of convicts. hut as the time of various men passes away the final wind-up Will result, III addition to being out of the market TOT convict labor the company will no more ask for county prisoners. Hereafter the mlnes will be operated with free labor.
 The Tennessee company under the pre- ceding administration, erected at No. ]2 mine a very modern place to keep con- vict labor. The mine has proven to be a very successful operation. It was, how ever. determined some time since by the present management to stop working convicts.
 It is generally known that the state of Alabama will take over and operate the Banner mines of the Pratt Consoll- dated company as soon as the stockades are arranged It has been stated that the state could not begin the maximum operation of the Banner until more con- victs were secured. It was suggested that as the Tennessee company intended to voluntarily relinquish convict leases in 1912, such might be done at once. That was agreed to by the company, 1t Is said. It is now stated to be an easy matter for the state to supply a sufficient number of men at Banner to take care of the work there instead of delaying full operations until a full number could be placed
 The mine at Banner which is to be operated by the state, will be under the management of MT. M. H. Fies, who has heretofore been general superintendent of mines for the Birmingham Coal and Iron company. The stockade of the Pratt company to retain their county convicts is about completed on the Big seam be- low Banner, and when the transfer is made 1t is taken that the Banner mine will also be delivered to the stats.

Duncan's Statement

Atlanta, December 1.-"Organized la Dor has no desire to interfere with the law or the punishment of the guilty men and if the McNamaras are guilty they should be punished. Their action in pleading guilty will have no effect on the cause of union labor"
 This was the only statement on the sensational turn of events at Los An ge1es made by James Duncan, first vice president of the American Federation of Labor. tonight. MT. Duncan is the only one of the leaders left here since the close of the convention of the fed eration last week. James Ryan pres dent of the Iron Workers union, to which the McNamaras belong, left to- day.

Investigation to Go On

Indianapolis, December 1.--"The sinvesti- gation of the federal government here into the dynamitng cases covers much wider scope than the cases of the Llewellyn iron works descruction," said Charles w. Miller, United States district attorney. '"The pleas of the McNamara brothers will have no effect in interrupt ing the governments investigation"
 We were not surprised they pleaded guilty" continued MT. Miller. "The, fed- eral grand jury here will resume it's in vestigation of allegations that the broth CTS and others were in conspiracy to transport explosives from state to state

retary and treasurer of the 1nterna- tional Association of Bridge and Struc- tural Iron Workers always forced Me Manigal to produce such clippings be- fore he would pay him for the job
 Detroit. Mich. December 1-When James B. McNamara and Ortie B. Me- Manigal were arrested at Woodward ave nue and High street here on the after noon of April F the public gained no knowledge of the charges that were held against the prisoners, and even the De- troit police who assisted the Chicago detectives in making the arrests were kept in the dark as far as the Los AnS- eles case was concerned. The two pris- oners were hurriedly taken to Chicago within a few hours, and 1t was not un- til April 9 that the story of their con nection with the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building was made public in Chicago.
 When they were taken from Detroit they were supposed to be noted safe breakers possessing the most remarkable kit of tools ever seen by the Detroit police. They were registered as Ortie McManigar, 32 years, and Frank Sulli- van 2 years. both of Chicago.
 Reports gained circulation here that they had been captured upon the eve of starting a campaign of safebreaking here and that they had just finished a cam paign in Chicago
 The unique burglar kit which attracted so much attention at the time of the arr rests was listed in the newspapers as follows:
 Five storage batteries. Tdo magazine revolvers. One short rife with miximum muffler. Two time fuses with clocks suitable for attaching to safes. One kodak, A roll of copper wire.
 Bandages with fuses attached
 Drycell batteries.
 Book of handy information about prin- cipal cities.
 Insulation tape.
 Burglars tools of all descriptions.
 Instruments for safeblowing.
 There was also a supply of cartridges.

Mitchell Shocked

can Federation or IaDOr ana past president of the United Mine Workers of America, was tonight shown the As sociated Press dispatch telling of the con- fession of the McNamara brothers. MT. Mitchell said he was utterly shocked. "I confidently expected the McNamarr,s would be cleared and that it would be shown by experts that the Times build ing was blown up by gas explosion and not by dynamite.
 Having been miner T have some knowledge of the use of dynamite. The report of the inspection of the ruined building showed plainly that the base ment was not damaged. Knowing that dynamite always blows down, I felt con fident that 1t could not have been used in this case. From the beginning all of the officers and leaders of the Federation asked the public to withhold judgment until the McNamaras had been given 8 trial. This comes as a great shock to me"
 Mir. Mitchell came here to deliver a lecture tonight and gave out the state ment a few minutes before he entered the hall. The labor leader would not ex- press himself as to what effect the con- fession would have on the cause of la bor.
 Cincinnati December Had bolt descended from a clear sky il could not have cast a greater shadow of gloom over the home of James B. and John J. McNamara in Cincinnati than did the news of their pleas of guilty today
 q know my boys are innocent" walled Mrs. Mary McNamara, T am forced to believe they pleaded guilty by persuasion, but I know they are in nocent."
 Questioned as to her plans and if she would go to Los Angeles to see her sons, the mother said:
 T do not know. Tn fact I cannot decide upon anything now"
 Tears that had been bravely held back during this short interview brimmed to the surface and in burst of sobs the aged woman was led into another room ry her daughter, Miss Mary McNamara.
 Mrs McNamara first learned of the pleas while on street car on her way home. She refused to believe 1t until she was appraised of the news at her hofne. She returned from the west few days ago.
 Also protesting even in the face of he confession Robert and Mary Mc- Namara, brother and sister of the prisoners, respectively refused to be-
 ieve the news. Neither seemed wrought ID over the confession and while they refused to answer many of the ques- tions put to them for correction they stated their belief in their brothers innocence A clear, cool manner was adopted by Robert McNamara, who said:
 Il do not believe them guilty or the crimes to which they have confessed N-~ f,m'ly received letter from James dated November "A just few days age m which he wrote favorably or the progress of the proceedings in the case He did not digress any in this last letter from others we had received ill the past, all of which were filled with cheering news
 As for Frank Eckhoff, believe that he knows nothing of the case. but is pretending in order to receive money for his services
 During the Interview Robert Mo Namara's sister stood by. but did mol utter a word
 With slight nod of her head she coincided with what her brother said
