Prosecution Won't Try To

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 20
No attempt will be made by the state
in the Mcnamara and McManigal
trials TO implicate union labor as a
party TO the Los Angeles Times dyna-
hitting according TO District Attorney
Fredericks today.
II believe the arrested men are
guilty" said Fredericks, And | shall
make every effort TO convict them.
But, personally, don't believe 1t
possible for the union. as a union, TO
have committed the crime charged.
AS individuals these men are respon-
sible and as individuals we will al
tempt to punish them

John, Adams and myself were victims
of a similar conspiracy when we
were arrested In Colorado. without
warrant, secreted for a time and later
rushed 1000 miles TO Idaho charged
with the murder OF former Gov.
Steunenberg-a man whom we never
had seen. Like Mcnamara. we were
given no chance to confer with our
friends or families or consult an attor-
ney. We were imprisoned Is months
through the powerful efforts of the
Mine Owners association, backed by
the federal government. Everybody
knows the result of the trials There
was no evidence that we had anything
whatever to do with the killing OF
Steunenberg. I predict that McNa-
mara and his associates will be vim
dicated as we were.
Il is remarkable that Mcnamara
was kidnapped from indianapolis, the
city where ex-Gov. Taylor, OF Ken

He never was forced TO trial II is
remarkable how easily the wheels or

ingmen accused OF crime and how
securely the safety clutch holds when
an attempt is made to prosecute cap
italists.
McNamara's case has all the ear
marks of a conspiracy OF employers
and detectives. IL Is purely detec-
tivemade case as far as il has gone.
Detectives in labor troubles have been
80 thoroughly discredited that an In

The position taken by the officers
OF the Western Federation OF Miners

spectators witnessed the Della

played on Walton Field at Haver-
ford, Pa, last Saturday, when the
Delaware team suffered its first
defeat. Both teams had been
playing we'll this season, and the
fact that Delaware had tied
Swarthmore, Haverford's great
est rival, added interest to the
occasion.
During the first two periods OF
the game neither side scored. In
the third quarter Murray kicked
off to Delaware's 10 yard line.
Brownly blocked an attempted
kick and Smiley recovered the ball
and carried it over for Haver-
ford's first score. The Quakers
scored early in the last quarter.
The feature Of the game was

down, which occurred toward the
last of the period. Captain Tay-
