The detective agency will attempt to
prove that Mcnamara and McManigal
are Identical with the two men that pur-
chased dynamite in California and with
which it is said the Times building was
destroyed The detectives will attempt
TO prove this by their handwriting and
hotel registers
The public generally is most interested
in the kidnapping of John j. Mcnamara
from indianapolis. The people wonder
why it is necessary to hdnap a man
when the detectives say that evidence
is al hand which is conclusive of his
guilt2 Why take a man without due
process of law when by the process it
could be shown to the world that a con-
spiracy to kill and destroy did exist?
The very acts OF the agents of the
interests prove that the whole scheme
was planned and carefully carried out
that great labor organization might be
destroyed and the labor movement re-
tarded
It is parallel case of the kidnapping of
Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone in Den
yer several years ago. when they were
taken to Boise City, Idaho. and Haywood
was tried and acquitted of the murder of
Governor Stunenberg on the "confes-
SION of Orchard. who is now serving a
life sentence for the crime
That ii is concocted scheme to de-
stroy organization labor is the belief of
all labor men high in the counsels of the
different international unions. The very
act OF the kidnapping of the men lends
color to that belief
Detective Burns. the assistant district
attorney OF Los Angeles. and several Of
dcers OF indianapolis are now under
heavy bond TO answer the charge OF kid
naping.
o. \. Hilton Of Denver has been re-
tained for the case, but Indianapolis at
torneys have charge of the defense OF
the men.
Facts About Times Disaster.
The explosion which wrecked the Los
Angeles Times building occurred on Oc-
tober l. 1910. The explosion. which was
United labor bulletin., 1911-04-27

followed by fire which cost 20 lives
occurred in the early morning after most
of the papers editions had been run of
the press. Many of the employees had
gone home.
Several of these stated, after the ex-
plosion, that they had smelled gas during
the time which they had been at work.
Toward the close of their working day
this smell had become unbearable.
The Times after the explosion issued
paper from an auxiliary plant, which
had been prepared for emergencies. .
The first issue of the paper after the
disaster and before a single bit of in
vestigadon had taken place, accused the
labor unions of the city of having per-
petrated the crime.
Large rewards were offered for the
capture of the alleged bomb throwers.
California labor bodies offered a reward
of $500 for the apprehension of the
bomb throwers should it prove that the
plant had been destroyed by dynamite
or nitroglycerin.
committee of union labor men be-
gan an investigation at once. In strong
contrast to the snap judgment which
Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Times,
had taken Immediately after the explo-
sion, the labor men continued their in
vestigation till the 29th of October when
they issued a full report.
That report gave it as their Judgment
that the building had been destroyed by
fire following an explosion of gas.
The report of the labor men said in
Part:
"Inasmuch as many people are unac-
quainted with General Harrison Gray
Otis and his newspaper, it is natural to
suppose that this newspaper twisted the
evidence to support assertion which
would seem to it important"
In another portion of the report this
statement was made:
"Trumpeting abroad the report that
the unionists were plotting to do him
violence, Otis made his editorial rooms
an arsenal"
The report says further:
''On the subject of industrial freedom.
it is no exaggeration to say that Otis is
insane
1t is generally conceded that Otis de-
sires to crush out union labor on the
Pacific coast
The report by the labor committee con-
cluded:
Those who are familiar with the pc
culiarities of explosions of dynamite see
in the evidence overwhelming certainty
that no dynamite was used. Our inves-
tigation developed that there was a
sound like the rumbling of cannon or
thunder, that the building was in flames
within ten seconds; that the walls of the
Times building remained standing. and
that various employees of the Times
smelled gas on the night of the tragedy.
In our opinion these facts prove con
clusively that the destruction was caused
by gas and not by dynamite
II might be stated that the force of
dynamite is downward and outward,
with a sharD crack when avnIOdad-
whereas the explosion at the Times
building was upward, and with a rum
bling sound. leaving the walls standing
and not breaking adjacent windows, thus
showing dynamite was not used in the
destruction of the building.

ORGANIZER HERE.
Freight Handlers Receive international
Support.

General Superintendent Allen of the
Burlington railroad. who has been in
Denver several days endeavoring to get
a settlement of the Freight Handler sit
uation for his road, has returned to Lin
coin without accomplishing the object of
his mission.
They are about so of the union freight
handlers still at work, 125 having been
discharged by the officials of the differ
ent roads. Organizer Beaumont of Chi
cago arrived in Denver Monday and has
taken full charge of the situation for the
Freight Handlers.
The Burlington has blacklisted four of
the union men and will not allow these
men place on the system; but outside
of these men the officials of the road of
fer immediate settlement. The Freight
Handlers do not recognize any blacklist
ing of their members, hence there can
be no settlement until this feature is
remedied.
Organizer Beaumont is in daily con-
ference with the officials of the different
roads and a settlement is expected soon.
Freight handlers, now thrown out of
work by the railroads for the crime of
forming union. have prepared sched-
ule showing that they and their families
are not so well provided for as the rail
roads would make you believe.
The freight handlers for the most part
receive s45 to s4S month. A few of
the housemen receive $50 a month. and
there are perhaps half dozen of the
old-tiDers who receive more than $50.
But i25. at least. are working for s1.75
or si.96 day. The Burlington pays its
truckers $1.90 day: the rest of the
roads pay s1.75.

made an interesting and instructive talk
on the label.
A committee was instructed to visit
the James E. Behen Hat company. Six

the company to put in union hats.
Miss Frincke reported ghat her com

willingness to put union hats in stock In
place OF the non-label hats now on their
shelves.

Following this confession" that he
and James Mcnamara, at the instigation
of j. ]. Mcnamara, had blown up the
Los Angeles Times and caused many
other explosions in which scores of lives
were lost and s3,500,000 worth OF prop
erty destroyed, he and Mcnamara were
kept in close confinement until Saturday,
when they were taken from the Jail and
secretly started on their way to the
coast.
The two brothers and McManigal are
now in Jail at Los Angeles, where they
will be tried for first degree murder for
the blowing up OF the Los Angeles Times
building.
Under the California law prisoners ex-
tradited from other states must be given
trials within Go days from the time of
their arrival in California. Thus speedy
action must follow, SO that the interest
manifested in the cases will not be al
lowed to die down.
While this is transpiring in the West.
the public and union men in general are
considering the charges that are being
made by the Burns Detective agency-a
private organization working for the in
terests."
Burns charges that he can prove by
his men that James Mcnamara and
McManigal are responsible for dozens OF
the dynamitiny outrases in different
parts of the United States. He claims
that dynamite has been found in the of
fee building OF the Structural Iron Work
ers and in an outbuilding rented by them
in an obscure part of the city in Indian
apolis: that dynamite has been found in
Toledo and Tifin. Ohio. and in Detroit
which had been in the possession OF the
alleged dynamiters. even charging that
the suit cases in which the dynamite
was carried about have been found and
are OF special make for use in carrying
heavy loads of the explosive.
Burns also says that papers taken
from the vaults of the organization are
evidence of large sums of money being
paid to the men that are said to have did
the dynamiting.

HAIR-sPLITTING DECISION.

While there have been many decisions
rendered by American courts that are
abortive, which has led to great abuses
and a general decline of respect and con-
fidence in the judicial branch of the gov
ernment, yet England is apparently
striving, in some instances. at least, to
emulate judicial practice of this country,
workingmen's compensation act is in
force in Great Britain, and under its
provisions all wage-earners are included.
Recently taxicab driver was injured in
cranking his machine and applied for
compensation provided by law where the
injury received compelled cessation of
work. The taxicab company refused to
acquiesce in the demand and the case
was taken to court. The Westminster
county court decided against the driver.
1t was then appealed to the court OF ap-
peal. which sustained the decision of the
lower court. Another appeal was taken
to the house of lords. and this august
body also sustained the decision OF the
court OF appeal But the curious mental
twist OF the minds of those making the
decision is worthy of close scrutiny. and
while pathetic, is also amusing. The
meat OF the decision is as follows:
'srhat driver who receives a percent
age OF his cabs earnings by way OF pay
ment. instead OF a fixed salary. is not a
workman within the meaning OF the
workingmen's compensation act"
