night 10 be a question Of hours By private
detectives and police.

throwing wherever union labor men desired
to injure capitaliatic interests.
The Burns agency officials declared that
their Investigations. covering a period OF
siX months. augented by statements by
McManigal, made it possible to prove every
move Of the gang for period OF more
than year. All bomb work OF the last
few months they said. was performed by
James Mcnamara and McManigal working
with Chicago as headquarters. Documen-
tary evidence bearing on the alleged out
RACES from Los Angeles 10 Springfield
Mass. is all that is lacking, 1t was said.
