A complete
DEFENSE MADE
Of Organized Labor By
Gompers.
Courts Thorough Investigation Of
all the Records Of Or
ganization.

Washington, Dec. pa comph.te
defense of organized labor, and ex-
onoration of the American Fed sraltiom
of Labor from all knowledgs of thu dy
namiting plots of thu Mcnamara
brothers is made in a vigorous edftor-
ial written by Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of that organization, in the JAM
uary number of the Fsderationist,
which was made public today.
Gompers ridicu,es the charge of De-
tective William j. Burns, who built
up the case against Structural Iron
Workers, that there ara msn higher
up, and declares that the Am arican,
Federation OF Labor is willing and
anxious to throw open its l3.t;rs and
books for inspection to prove That its
officials wnre ig-Srant Of amy prgani-
zed campaign of Violence
In part the sditcria says:
1--WE have no.hipg to hide. We are
ready at any time for the agents of
the law to begin Investigation. FILES,
records of all kinds, account books
everything of docum ntary shape is
open to than. All THAT has bsan
printed or spoken or written to our
correspondents is subject to thair in
quirias. Every act Of ev-ry Official
may be freely looked into. No onle is
rer 10 dOdo hof
ever can be done to aid dhe law will
be done at thess offices. This is oaIr
reply to the clamor TO GIT the men
higher up, to the rep ated announce
msnt i'm the press ct a nnion-wide fn-
Ues:dgauion by Federal officers, TO the
assertion that behind the McNam-
aras were men standing high in Jhs
councils of labors.
"Is organized labor to depart from
its adoted policies, and if so why?
Where lies a batter course than that
which lit has followed? AS TO the
critics of the flsdaraLion's Officers,
most of them move in fundamental
error. They assume that the ssparapo
trade unions, in their organization
work and affairs, ARE contronsd, drsct+
ed, supervised from our Washington
cenusr. This is not in the least so.
To the national Tor inrlsrnational) un-
ions there is nothing higher up.
AT no time in the HISTORY of labor
has organization b5en so essential as
now.
The writer daclaras that fore5s hos
tile to organized labor are working
harder than ever to disrupt unions
and the editorial is brought TO close
with thu forcaful abjuration TO grit
your teeth and organize"
In the concluding paragraphs the
executive of the national organization
again throws down the gauntlet TO Dhe
government Investigators, declaring
that labor is ready for its investiga-
tlon and that the country may rest
assured that labor leaders have moth
ing to fear.

Many Hobos Killed.

Statistics showing hhe number OF per-
sons killed annually per mile. In this
country and In Europe, by railroad

the numbsr killed In this country run
up to about five and six thousand
per annum- II is the opinion of SEC

BODY lies in
field ALL night
Whitesville boyMeets Death
While Loading Gun.
Grandfather Finds the Body In
Thicket at 7::30 O'clock
tuesday Morning.


old son OF H. G. Sapp, a prominent
FARMER, who resides about a mile
from whitesvisr,, was found dead In
a thdcket about GOO yards from the
home by his grandfather, J ohm
Sapp, at 1880 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, with his chinn shattered and the
gun lying on his kneas,whsre it had
fallen after 1T had been discharged.
Justice of the peace j. w. Ware held
an inquest ovar the body of the boy
dsclaring that his death was acci-
dsntaI, and was CAUSED by the dis
charge of the gun while 1t was bling
loaded by thelad.
The boy, according TO the story
told by his mother, had asked per-
mission to go hunting on Monday
evening, and upon being granted The
Permission, he had set out on his
trip about 3o'clock, with two dogs
and an old Misunderstanding shotgun,
that he had baen hunting with dur
ing the season.
The boy promised his parents that
he would Return about $50 O'Clock
in thine to eat his supper with the
other memttsus of the family. VIII IN
the lad failed to return at the prom
isad time, the PARENTS We're slightly
alarmed, and the father made a
quick trip TO whitesville to make
inquiries concerning the boy.
AT IL O'Clock, when the boy failed
to put n his appearance the parsnts
ware greatly alarmed. and imme-
d,ately made up posse and insti-
tuted search for the boy. After
tramping over the .1i5lds for some
time the posse was h ed to nsturn,
as heavy rain had set in and it was
SO dark that they, were unable TO
ksep up hhs search. No one seemed
TO know where the boy had besn
hunuing, as he had started out by
himself.
When THE posse rsturned home,
John Sapp, the grandfather of the
boy. stated that about $50 O'Clock
in the afternoon he had ssan puff
of smoke issuing from a olump of
:tnees near the house and that he
had haard the report of a gun. but
as he was in such f5eble health, he
WAS unable to go in the field and
sas IL the boy had been hurt. Tho
members of the posss stated that
they had searched every inch of
ground around the house and that
they could not find any trace of the
boy. The grandfather, however, be-
liaNad that the boy was lying in the
clamp of trses and before the family
had arisen. started out alone to find
the lad. After searching for several
hours he found the boy lying in a
pool of blood. with his chin COM
pletely torn away and his Face badly
lacerated by the shot. The boy was
lying ON his back and the Dxn was
across hds knees. where ut evidently
had fallen after 1t had been dis
charged. According 10 the state-
ment of the physician, he had bacn
dsad since o'clock Monday eve
ming.
The remains wene immediately
taken to the residence of his parents,
who we've pros.rated when they saw
him. Justice Wane was nobified and
held an inquest.
The boy was very weM known In
Whitesville and WAS very popular
