WOMAN TELLS HOW
WOMEN SHOULD SWIM

In an article on swimming in the
August womans Home Companion, the
author records a great deal of inforIna-
ton that is Just as interesting to land
lubbers as 1t is helpful to young swim
mers Following Is brief extract:
TT may surprise some new swimmers
to know that one can both see and hear
under the water. Seeing is not diff
cult when once you have the idea
firmly implanted In your mind that wa
ter will not hurt the eyes. Particu-
larly is this true of sea water. the salt
in which is soothing. rather than irri-
tating. But never open your eyes to
see under water before you are under
water: never dive with the eyes open.
or go from surface to underneath or
vice versa, with the eyes open The wa
ter at its surface seems to have an
actual edge, which stings the eye.
Learn to swim with three limbs. to dis
pense with either arm or either leg.
You may need an arm to bring ashore
somebody who needs help. you may
have a cramp some time and have to
do without one of your 'propellers-
The trick is easy, it is merely more
tiresome to swim without arm one
leg, but not much harder than to swim
with all.
AS the very strongest man In the
world is weakling in the grasp of a
good-sized comber. such waves must
bue outwitted, not outwrested. And,
to be at home in the breakers, even
beyond your depth, it is only neces-
sary to know what wave really is
and where 1t Is weak. Many people
believe their eyes. and are sure that
wave travels. The water moves up
and down, and the motion moves for
ward but the water doesn't travel
Consequently. IL you get beyond the
breakers the waves will go up and
down and carry you with them, but
won't sweep you forward
Near the shore the waves behave
differently; they curl over and break.
and there the water, as well as the
motion, travels. And, if you are just
at the curling point. the water will
pick you UP and sweep you in, and
you can literally ride the waves.
than which there is finer sport in
the seat. But woe unto you If you get
a bit ahead of the curling front,
for then you will be turned over and
twisted around and flung to the bot
tom.
Hence, it is wise to experiment
with little waves first and learn just
where they do break and just where
they actually commence to exert for
ward movement on your body before
testing your swimming powers in the
surf"

Gompers Knew of
McNamaras' Guilt,
Says John w. Hayes

President John w. Hayes, of the
Knights of Labor and editor Of the
Journal Of the knights of Labor, today
charged that President Gompers and all
OF the officials Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor knew that the Mcnamara
brothers were guilty. He AYERS that no
less punishment that hanging should
be meted out to the murderer of twenty
one innocent people.
Il feel positively certain that not only
Mr.. Gompers. but all Of the federation
officers knew that these men were
guilty. The structural ironworkers
were and are part OF the American
Federation Of Labor. They were in
communication by letter and by per-
sonal visits with the officers Of the
federation, even before the dynamiting
OF the Los Angeles Times. The struc-
tural ironworkers run. as far as they

Much Of the correspondence Of Mr..

prove that he had some intimation of
various dynalsiting explosions which
have occurred. The evidence in this
knew these men were guilty as far back
as July last, and II he knew 1t, Com

President Hayes today published in
the Journal the story Of the Mcnamara
brothers, which reads In part as fol-
lows:
"The startling information Of the
Mcnamara confession comes after q

in an effort to secure q jury, and be-

Gompers' Position
In Mcnamara Case
Shown by Darrow

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 5-The exact
position Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor oc-
cupied in the Mcnamara case, was out
lined today by Clarence Darrow, chief
counsel for the brothers, who specifical-
ly stated that at no time did GUmpers
ask whether the men were innocent or
guilty. .,
Asked whether he had ever told the
federation chief the brothers were in
nocent, Darrow replied:
me. ''A0Ae ">'''"pefs never asked
'If he had asked you, were you in
a position to have told him?'
Had to Get Consent.
LAS counsel for these men I could
not have told him without their per-
mission. l could have told him the
facts If I had their permission; but he
never asked me that question and
was never compelled to ask the men
for permission to tell the head of the
federation anything about their case"
DO you know how much Samuel
Gompers knew about this case?'
Il do not. Never at any time did he
mention either the guilt or innocence
OF the men. When negotiations that
illuminated In the pleas Of guilty were
begun, 1 telegraphed Gompers in At
lanta to send some man here in whom
he had the utmost confidence because
some, important complications had
arisen. He sent Z. H. Nockels, secre-
tary of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, two days before the pleas were
entered. laid the situation before him.
He advised against pleas Of guilty, but

IT do not
"It is indicated in dispatches from In
dianapolis-especially in statements by
Burns-that there is a belief there tsat
Gompers may be involved in the al
legged dynamite conspiracy. Do you

Had No Inside Facts.
1T is hard to tell what the National
Erectors, the National Association of

nothing Of the inside facts. Personally
! do not believe that there is a slight
