FORGET 'NAMARAS
TOHONOR THE DEAD
Printers Pay Tribute to De-
parted Members.
NO MENTION OF THE BROTHERS
Roberts, in Brief Address,
Shows Clearly that Dynamiting
Outrage Haze Marred Memorial
Services-Represent Stanley
Praises Organized LabOr's Stand.

Forgetting for the time the shame of
the McNamaras, Columbia Typographi-
cal Union, No. 101. yesterday afternoon
paid tribute to those members whose
names have been stricken from the ros-
ter by the Grim Reaper in the last year.
Forty-two members of the union have
gone to their last reward within a twelve
month, and it was to honor the memory
of the twoscore that sacred services were
held. The auditorium of Typographical
Temple was crowded.
Not only members of the union, but
relatives of the deceased printers and
their friends gathered to hear sung the
praises of the departed. Although two
addresses were delivered, no mention of
the MCNamaras crept in. But beneath
the surface could be felt a grief, not
only for those who have gone to honored
graves, but a sorrow that the memorial
services should be held on q day when
the entire nation was thinking of two
representatives of organized labor whose
memory never can be recalled with pride.
Marred by Shame.
President +. c. Roberts, in a brief ad-
dress, showed clearly that he believed the
memorial services had been marred by
the shame OF the Mcnamara brothers.
He did not mention their names, but he
said that advocates OF organized labor
should not be grieved that their brothers
had made a mistake in the selection of
two leaders.
President Roberts recited a poem,
which told the story of the life and
death OF n girl millworker, and con-
Cluded:
..T,oSa mon n, U,bosa bopn. ua ara
gathered to-day gave up part of their
lives to the fight against child workers.
We all are making the fight. And those
who died before the battle was ended
carried with them to the grave the glory
which will be seen by those who live to
witness the victory
Representative A. o. Stanley, OF Ken
lucky. delivered an Grafton, in which he
concluded with tribute TO organized
labor by honoring the names of those
members OF the union whose deaths oc-
CURED last year. Mr.. Stanley dwelt on
the problems of hfe and death, and re-
vealed to his hearers that he, too, was
thinking of the Mcnamara case.
While the Congressman refrained from
actual mention of the names of the con-
fesSed dynamiters. he declared that or
ganized labor stood for law and order.
Il believe law should be sacred and
holy" he said. ''and so strong that the
most powerful must bow before it and
lock up to it as next to Him who reigns
abo"e all"
Reads Names of Dead.
A touching ritual accompanied the

bers by Secretary George C. Seibold. The
forty-two names were Iettered in white
on a black background in a long. obIong
