realize but the crisis might result in tho
greatest good If capita! and labor camc
closer together.

man, mayoralty candidate Of the Socialists
to-day published a statement he had re.
the McNamaras. saying that they had kept
from him purposely all knowledge OF lhe
impending confessions because they did not
wish to hamper him in his candidacy. They
also specify that they had not considered
the effect tho confessions might have on
the election beyond taking his time, and
that they accepted the terms when they
were offered. without regard TO any other
matter.
That a radical change has taken place IN
the political complexion OF thousands Of

of some in spite OF d movement for the

While the supporters Of Alexander have
been preaching brotherhood between cap-

CHICAGO UNION MEN ANGRY
Deluded Into Giving Hard Earned
Money for Defence.
fBy Telegraph 10 Tire Tribune

Chicago, Dec. 3.-No mention OF the Nc
Namara case was made to-day At the
meeting Of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. This Is the first time since the
dynamiters were arrested that the local
central body has not discussed the affair
al it's semi-monthly meetings and proposed
plans for raising money for the defence
fund.
The Mcnamara committee, which has
spent weeks and months dcyising ways and
means to get money TO fight the case, made
no report. Individually, however, many or
ganized labor leaders and union officials at
the meeting expressed their disgust at the
situation in Los Angeles. Several asserted
that both Of the confessed criminals should
hang All were Of the opinion that the Nc
Namaras were not only guilty OF murder
but OF working tho greatest imposition on
honest laboring men in the history Of the
union labor movement
These men have confessed that they are
guilty of the vlcst sort Of murder; so let
them pay the penalty with their own lives"
was the verdict of Oscar i. Nelson, pres-
dent of tho National Federation of Post
office Clerks. "They hoodwinked and de-
luded honest representatives OF organized
labor into the belief that they were inuo-
cent. This in itself was henous and
monstrous crime They permitted hard
working men to sive money earned by the
sweat OF their brows TO a cause that has
proved TO he unjust. This money was taken
and most of it spent i'm defence purposes.
This was equal to highway robbery. I have
10 sympathy for either Of them"
Edwin r. Wright, president OF the Illinois
state Federation of Labor, said tho great
huc and cry raised by organized labor was
honest in its inception. lIo said This beief
was 80 firmly fixed with trade unionism

pastor OF the First Universalist Church. in
his sermon to-day on lessons for organized

THE most awe impellng utterance that

were uttered by the accused in one of the
most far reaching criminal trials OF the
last half century.
Union labor has generously done its
duty; now il must rcpudiate the guilty; the
Mcnamara hands are stained with blood.
These perpetrators Of violence and blood
shed have betrayed the trust. sulied the
