TRYING to Hush 1t UP.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec 9.-lhal
prominent politicians Of this state
have been enlisted by the leaders of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association here il an effort to sup
press the. federal investigation of the
alleged country-wide dynamiting con-
spiracy was reported here late tonight
It is pointed out to these politicians
that it was part of the agreement
that resulted In John j. and Jas. b..
Mcnamara pleading guilty that there
was to be an end to open labor prose-
cutions in Los Angeles. The mer-
chants of the city fear that eastern
capita1 will be driven north to San
Francisco and that the plar5 for push
ing Los Angeles ahead will be SER
iously interfered with If the federal
probe is pushed and dozens of labor
leaders indicted.
The politicians have been asked to
use their influence with President
Taft. If possible, to have Assistant
General Oscar LAWYERS investigation
Just begun, transferred to indianapolis
or, if this is not possible, to have II
carried on in San Francisco.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association is split into rival factions
as the result of the developments o.
the past ten days. The radical ele
ment insists that the prosecutions
shall continue, that every labor lead
err possible shall be involved and tina
the Franklin bribery proceedings
which begins Monday, shall be wild
ened so that every leading membe
OF the Mcnamara defense shall be i'm
plicated. The conservatives who ar
in the majority, demand that tn
soft pedal" be applied to the fedora
probe.
1t is stated that certain member
OF the California delegation in col
gress have already been drawn int
the matter and that United States Di
