Hill And TiIson Asked To Support ]
 The Berger Bill
Central Labor Union Demands Investigation Into Arrest of
 John J. McNamara

At largely attended meeting ot the Central Labor union of Bridgeport recently, resolutions were adopted de- manding that E. J. Hill, Congressman from the Fourth district and John O. Tilson, Congressman at Large from Connecticut, support the bill in Con- gress to investigate the arrest of John J. McNamara in Indianapolis, and his alleged kidnapping on the Los Angeles dynamiting charge. e
 The Central Labor union charges that McNamara's so-called kidnappine is part of well-planned plot by or ganized capital against organized la Dor. The resolution follows:
 Whereas on Saturday night, April 22nd, John J. McNamara, secretary treasurer of the Structural Iron and Bridge Workers was arrested in h. dianopolis, Ind, by detectives in the employe of the Burns Private Detec- tive agency.
 And whereas. after being arrested Secretary McNamara was at once placed upon train and sent on the way to Los Angeles, Cal, without having an opportunity to defend him. self against the charges made before requisition papers were signed by the governor of Indiana
 And whereas, as this is a denial of the rights that are supposed to be guaranteed to all citizens of this country by the constitution which rights have only been violated when Labor leaders have been arrested for alleged crimes against capitalist inter- ests in Labor disputes
 Therefore be it resolved that we the Central Labor Union of Bridgeport unanimously protest against the un- lawful and unconstitutional manner by which Secretary McNamara was arrested and taken from one State to another without a trial
 And be it furthermore resolved. that we are of the opinion that the meth ods employed in this arrest point clearly to a well-planned and far reaching conspiracy on the part of or ganized capital to destroy one of the strongest Labor organizations in this country,
 And be it furthermore resolved that we demand that Hon. E. J. Hill. Rep resentative from this district in Con- gress and Hon. John Q. TiIson. Rep resentatiVe-at-Large from Connecticut vote in favor of the bill introduced by Representative Berger of Wisconsin. demanding an immediate investigation into the causes which were responsi- ble for John J. McNamara's being de- nied the rights guaranteed to him bv the constitution,
 And be it furthermore resolved. that a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the above-named Congress- men and to the local press.
