IMcNamaras had confessed Today they
Isatistied themselves the men really ad-
mitted their guilt but some still de-
olared the whole thing was a frame
lup,' which they could not explain now
but which would an be understood in
due time. Others, however, declared
that union labor would not stand for
such crimes as those confessed by the
iMoNamaras.

Unions Won't Suffer Says Gompers.
Troy y. Y. Dee. president &om-
pers of the American Federation Of

tremely nervous whenever he referred
to the Mcnamara confession. He de-
clared labor was grossly deceived"
and referred TO a telegram from the
McNamaras to the federation recently.
thanking the unions for their conf
dencc and help.
Gompers did not think the labor
unions will suffer as a result of the
confessions.
1--WE stand for evolution, rather than
revolution; we stand for peace and
the uplift of man, rather than violence
and brutality" he said.
He contended the severest criticism
that can be made against the federa~
tion is that 1--WE had faith in men ac-
cused of crime" He said the fedora
tion had every cause TO believe them
innocent and referred to kilograms
from the McNamaras declaring they
were falsely accused.
Gompers said labor men raised $780,
600 to defend the McNamaras and
Darrow believing them innocent gave
up his business In Chicago and went to
California to free them.
Gompers said John Mcnamara as
sured him in the Los Angeles Jail he
was innocent. Now they admit they
are guilty commented Gompers.
Meyer Sorry They Confessed.
Denver. Dec. President Meyer of
the Western Federation OF Miners,
who. with Haywood and Pettibone
was arrested in connection with the
murder Of former Governor Steunen-
berg five years ago, declared today
that the confession of the McNamaras
furnished capital with a club which it
would not be slow to use against or
ganized labor.
For that reason, no matter how
guilty l might have been, I never would
have confessed said Meyer.
