Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, was made known
here, tonight, When United States At

at Washington between the labor chief

vent the federal authorities from gain

ords obtained in a raid upon the Of
fees of the international Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers. when j. j. Mcnamara was ar
rested.
Prosecutor Baker admits that he
talked with Gompers and says he in
tends to make a second visit, next
January.
In reply TO Mr.. Gempers, who said
the district attorney was impertinent,
Mr. Miller said:
Mr.. Gompers insists that his posi-
ton is secure and his attitude con-
sistent, but he is very tender and
touehy since his 'creduity' was inn
posed upon by the statements made
by the Mcnamara brothers.
Because l was quoted as saying
that, in my opinion, 'Gompers is an
unsafe leader he very passionately
exelaims that he is not afraid of be-
ing prosecuted.
Mr. Gompers and the prosecuting
attorney of Marion county, can. if
they will, inform the people just what
took place at their Washington con-
ference, about six weeks ago. \ full

Washington, Dec 6.-The McNama-
ri ways and means defence committee
composed of a number of officers of
the American Federation OF Labor,
held a long meeting here, today, but
failed to reach a decision as to what
action they should take or what re-
port they would make in the case of
the labor officials recently convicted
in Los Angeles.
F. NJ. Ryan, president of the Inter
national Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, of which. association John J.
Mcnamara vase formerly secretary,
refused to comment at all upon
the meeting, and Frank A. Morrison,
secretary OF the Federation. also de-
clined any information.
Preceding tlfeN meeting, President
Gompers of Federation, in whose
office the meeting was held. bitterly
arraigned w. j. Burns, the detective
in the Mcnamara case. because the
latter was quoted as saying that Mr..
Gompers knewsthe MeNamaras We're
guilty.
Detective Burns evidently believes"

a falsehood often enough it may be-

After the meeting Secretary Morri-
son said nothing would be made pub
lie until the committee had reached
conclusion. He asserted that while
he did not know as yet how much

special prosecutor of the United States
government who is trying to deter
mine whether there is dynamite con-

"A subpoena is issued only to force

This assertion was taken to mean
that when the federal grand Jury,

piled that though no subpoenas had
been served, unofficial notice had been
given the brothers that they would be
called before the federal grand jury
tomorrow.
Il don't think they will say much, :"
remarked Mr. barrow.
There was persistent rumor, to-
night. that three prominent labor lead
ers of California would be called be-
fore the grand jury and one of the
most startling reports was that the
grand jury would cite one of the most
prominent labor leaders in the coun-
try before it.
Don't people think that somebody
else beside certain persons here was
interested in seeing that the jury was
influeneed?" asked Samuel l.. Browne
chief of the department of inVestiga-

Abrogation Urged at Mass
Meeting in New York,
Because OF Russia S DiScfimina-
ton Against Jewish Americans.
Advocate lmme date Notice Being
Served on Russia.

New York, Dec. 6.-Abrogation of
the treaty of friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Russia
made in 1882, when Nicholas | was
Emperor of Russia and James Btu
chanan was American minister to st.
Petersburg. was urged in speeches
delivered by a dozen or more men of
national prominence and in resolu-
tons adopted at a large mass meet
ing held, Wednesday night, in Carne-
gle hall. The meeting was under the
auspices of the National Citizens Com
mittee, which plans a series OF similar
demonstrations throughout the coun-
try during the next month in rotest
against discrimination by Russia,
who has refused for many years to
honor the passports of Jewish-Ameri-
can citizens.
As a means of breaking the 30-years
deadlock in diplomacy over the pass
port question, most of the speakers,
tonight, advocated immediate notice
to Russia of the abrogation of the
treaty. the terms of which they de-
clared to have been violated by Rus
sia's attitude on the passport ques-
ton.
Andrew D. White, former United
States ambassador to Russia, was
chairman of the meeting. He was one
of but few speakers who strongly
urged that Russia be invited TO arbi-
trate the question at The Hague, be-
fore a movement was made toward
abrogation of the treaty. He said that
Russia was nation of great pride
as was ours-and that peremptory de-
mands would lead, as they always do,
to indignant rejoirers and reprisaus,
regardless of all justice.
Mr.. White characterized the sugges-
ton of war as altogether foolish.
1.-The two nations cannot reach each
other by any vulnerable point" he
said. ut would be like an elephant
trying to fight a whale" and he added
that there were so other reasons why
Russia and America could not go to
war.
