And the Higher
Up Ones Knew

Chicago, Dec. 3.-E r. Wright, pres
ident of the Illinois Federation of La
Dor, said in an interview, today, that
he saw in the confession of the Nc
Namara brothers at Los Angeles, an
encouraging sign for the law-abiding
element of union labor.
1.-THE confession" he said, will do
more to discourage violence in labor
ell Giles than anything that has hap
pened anywhere in the United States.
Personally am sorry they con-
Jesse. and for this reason: During
toe campaign of the Mcnamara de-
fence fund the highest officers of the
American Federation of Labor en-
|ccuraged us and gave personal guar
|antees that the Mcnamara brothers
were innocent and were really Mar
tyrs to the cause and as a result
many a laboring man gave up his
dime or his quarter cheerfully in the
belief that he was helping the cause
Wright was asked if he believed
that the higher officers he referred to
knew the facts of the Mcnamara case
when the money campaign was being
pushed.
ITO answer that question sauarely
might place me in compromising po-
sition." he said.
