M'NAMARA TRIUMPH
PREDICTED BY HEAD
Of BR|DGEWORKERS
Frank M. Ryan, Conferring
With Labor Leaders, Con-
6dent of Victory.

Declaring the treatment accorded John
]. McNamara. secretary of the Inter-
national Association Of Bridge ana
Structural Ironworkers, charged with
dynamiting the Los Angeles Times
building. to be outrageous. Frank M.
Ryan, president of the organization,
who is in Washington. predicts that
the trial now in progress will result
IN complete vindication OF McNamaru
and his brother.
Mr. Ryan Is in Washington to con-
Ter with President Gompera, of the
American Federation of Labor, ano
other officers of that organization. He
Is at the National Hotel, and since
his arrival has been busy comforting
with labor officials.
The scenes attending the sensa tioneI
raid on the offices of the International
organization In Indianapolis, when John
!. McNamara was arrested, have been
reproduced on Aims, Mr.. Ryan said to-
theaters viii show them ' during ''are the
next Few weeks. The films were made
at the instance of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. Mr.. .Pyan said they
We're made with a view of showing
the American public the alleged injus-
tice done organized labor in the arrest
CT the McNamaras.
II was tne most COLOSSAL conspiracy
ever conceived, and was perpetrated for
no other purpose than to discredit our
organization" said Mr.. Ryan.
1T is inconceivable how such an out
rage as that raid could have been per
petrated in this country, where equal
rights to all are supposed to prevail /
feel that the great mass of American
working people have shown their re-
sentiment, and that time will vindicate
our position"
Mr.. Ryan says he has been followed
by detectives almost constantly for
three or four years, and that other la
Dor leaders are also under surveillance
most of ths time.
Referring to the raid on the associa-
tion's offices In indianapolis, Mr.. Ryan
said that the men responsible for II
will be punished. He said there was
an utter disregard for constitutional
rights, and that the confiscation of the
books and other records was not justi-
fied.
Mr.. Ryan would not discuss the Nc
Namara trial. as he expects to be called

ANOTHER OBSTACLE
PLACED IN WAY OF
WOODEN BARROOM
Shack Across From Treas

Says Protest.

BY filing with the Commissioners

name the application was made before
siderable trouble.
The license was bought from Adolph
Loehl, formerly the proprietor Of the
old Riggs House bar. It being the in
tablishment in the new building. The
charge then was made by Mr.. Shoe
maker that the license was bought
whent he site only was hole in the

Biddle obtained a permit for the erec-
tion OF temporary saloon. with the
Intention Of Sesinning the sale of
Morris Hacker. building inspector. to-
day said that the temporary structure

first that has come to the attention OF

Little Doing on Wall Street Undertone Is Good
STOCKS SLOW, BUT HELD FIRMLY,
WITH SMALL NET ADVANCES ON
THE LEADERS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.--All things con-
sidered the stock market acted fairly
well today. Where values did not make
slieht Improvement, they at least held
fairly steady, and Reading, Union Pa
cific. and Steel common made some ad-
vances.
There wasn't much in the way Of news
in the days gossip, more petitions
against the Tobacco plan, some strike
news, and threats OF trsinmen to act In
sympathy with shopmen's demands II
the latter are not conceded. But for all
that there was little 6ispia.. of weak
ness, and what there was did not last
long. The Street seems inclined to the
belief that way will be found for re-
organisation, and that prosecution will,
In many cases, be avoided.
j. #. Morgan, j. j. Hill, and Judge
Gary, with other prominent business
men, hwill attend hearings before the
Committee on Insterstate Commerce,
which begins November IL, to hear ar
guInents prn and con In the investiga-
tton OF the trust question. From this
hearing and subsequent recommenda-
tions by the committee It is expected
that sorie good results will be obtained.

Business was not especially active on
the local bourse but there was more
than sufficient inquiry to absorb the Of
