The Case Of Clarence barrow.
MINNEAPOLIS JcurnaD.

The attorney who defended the ac-
cused men in the Governor Steuenburg
murder case, who defended the Los An
geles dynamiters, charges as much for
his services to union labor as the best
corporation attorneys charge their
clients.
Yet. Darrow both mathematics the
brilliant men who have sold their abfl-
ity to the highest bidder, and poses as
a martyr on account of his unselfsh
devotion to union labor. His devotion
may be unselfsI, but its unselfshness
is we'll creased by a $4,000 retainer
fee in the Mcnamara case, and an al
lowance of SO week for hotel ex-
penses and 800 a day for legal activi-
ties. In all Darrow has received a
gross sum of $4,000. out of which he
has paid assistant counsel and the de-
fences expenses Of preparing for the
trial.
barrow is a man Of intellect but his
brain is better than his morals. He
is about as far removed from martyr
as he was from saint. He has done
something for labor unionism, but Ia
Dor unionism has done far more for
barrow.
Labor unionism has paid Darrow tat
fees. as fat fees as any lawyer in the
country gets. 1t has given Darrow rep
tation. 1t would have run barrow for
political office, If barrow personally
could have stood the limelight Of a
campaign.
We can give Darrow, the shrewd
moneymaker. his dues as an able and
A cunning man. But Darrow, the mar
tyr, self confessed, turns the stomach.
