HAYES DECLARES
GOMPERS KNEW IT
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The charge
that Samuel Gompers and "all the Of
ficers of the American Federation of
Labor, knew Of the guilt Of the Nc
Namaras" was made today by John
w. Hayes, president of the Knights
of Labor, an organization claiming
125,OOO members in various trades.
81 feel positively certain that not
only Mr.. Gompers but all of the Fed
Grafton officers knew that these men
were guilty. The Structural Iron
Workers we're ard are a part of the
American Federation of Labor. They
were in communication by letter and
by personal visits with the officers of
the Federation, even before the Gy-
namiting of the Los Angeles Times
Much OF the correspondence of
Mr.. GOmpers will be found among the
letters seized by the government and
will prove that he had some intima-
ton of various dynamiting explosions
which have occurred. The evidence
in this case points to the fact that
Darrow knew these men were guilty
as far back as July last, and if he
knew It. GOmpers knew it.
