The Alexandria Trades Council has is
sued a statement regarding its attitude
in the Mcnamara cases which Is signed
by committee consisting Of Howard T.
Colvin, chairman; John T. Harrison, and
Martin NJ. Lollo.
The statement in part reads as follows:
They have declared themselves guilty,
and as far as organized labor in Alex
andria is concerned, the matter Is settled.
If they are guilty of the terrible deeds
attributed to them and to which they
confess, We reasseTt the position we as
sumed when they were first charged, that
they should receive the same penalty as
any other person under the same cir
cumstances
I'VE, however, denounce as unqualified
ly false the statements emanating from
McNamaras is the policy of organized
labor in general or that President Com
pers or any of the other great leaders of
the movement were connected in any
manner with the acts of these men.
1--WE have within the ranks of organ
ized labor men of every nationality: men
of every shade OF religious and political
belief; men who are good and men who
are bad, and while we do claim to use
our efforts to raise our members intel
lectuaIly and morally, We do not assume
responsibility for their individual actions
1t is, therefore, unjust to charge or
ganized labor with the responsibility for
the deeds of the McNamaras. 1t is unjust
to hold organized labor responsible for
the crimes committed by these men, as
it would be to hold the church of to-day
responsible for the acts of it's individual
members or to charge the death of Christ
to his disciples because one of them be-
trayed him
