PRAISES THE M'NAMARAS
Emma Goldman Addresses a
Meeting Of Anarchists.

The McNamaras were eNtoled as The
greatest champions of popular rights I'm
this country by Emma Goldman. an
anarchist leader. at a meeting Of anarchists
and other radicals at No. 43 East 22d
street last night. Among those in her
audience were Alexander Berkman, who
shot Henry C. Frick many years ago, and
Or" Ben Reitman, the King Of the
Hoboes"
The attitude OF the American people
toward the McNamaras, she declared, was
one of cowardice. What they did was only
one particle of the things they have done
all their lives. The McNamaras were
great masters. she asserted. in the teach
ing Of towards but they were not respOn-
sible for the violence they committed. The
life humanity was subjected to caused the
McNamaras 10 commit violence. The pres
ont unjust social system was responsible.
The acts of the McNamaras have proven
one thing" she continued. and that is
that there is no such thing as revolution in
this country. There is not the clean-cut
labor movement there ought 10 be, since
nobody came to their assistance when they
confessed The ranks of labor should have
stood by the McNamaras.
The workers did not rally 10 their sup
port because they were fed on the lullaby.

PRAISES M'NAMARA FUND
Pastor Says Union Labor Owes
No Apology for Defending Agents

The Rev Dr Charles A. Eaton, pastor NJ
the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, said
IN his sermon last night that the raising
of 2 defence fund in the interests Of the
McNsmaras was something for which the
lsboring man did not need to make apollo
giles 10 any one.
IF these men we're their duly accredited
representatives" he said 1T was the duty
of the people whom they represented 10
stand by them in trouble, provided that
those who contributed 10 the defence fund
honestly believed that the NcNamaras
we're innocent Of the crimes charged
against them.
Whoever contributed to this FUND
knowing or believing that the McNamaras
were guilty, was guilty equally I do not
believe that laboring men ought to absn-
don the McNamarss now. They did terri
BILE wrongs. but they have confessed their
wrongs and submitted themselves to Just
retribution. 1t is for Christian people, at
least, whether among the ranks of labor
or capital. to Judge not the men, even
while condeming without reserve their &C
ton. Hate and hysteria have never settled
any question yet

Anxiously Awaiting Word Of Dead.

Straining on the ropes thaV keep the
throng back from the mine opening are
the relatives of victims, anXiously await
ing some word of life within the ya"nlns
mouth of the death trap. The situation
becomes more tense as each car OF debrls
is brought 10 the surface. for its driver
might bring some word, or with the debris
might be a body Of some loved one. The
shrill whistle OF the special train bringing
collins at o'clock Sunday morning brought
another horror to the already dazed In
habitants Of the little town. The special
brought l75 boxes. and they were piled
near the mouth Of the mine.
Only eight OF these boxes were opened
to-day, but the others are silently waiting

listed about the mouth Of the mine as
thousands congregated, some standing lot
hours and others moving momentarily from

Sunday when the Rev. Il. NJ. Ritchie, pas

y
At the meeting OF the farmers on
Saturday all the speakers advised the
farmer to plant less cotton and diver
SHY his crop next year, and raise on
the farm the things needed to supply
the farm. as the only way by which
the farmer could control the price OF
cotton and get fair price for his cot
+on. Just what The Herald and News
has been preaching for the last rs
wears. 1t is good advice now, and by
following it is the only wayl to get
relief. We hope the farmer will hs-
ten now. Former Senator J. L. NC
Laurin calls upon all the cotton grow
ers to hold the cotton off the market
for ten days. He means for the little
and the big farmer not to offer for
sale a single bale, and it is good ao-
vice. too, and if there was not bale
offered anywhere in the cotton belt for
that time the price would advance.
