STATES CASE
LENGTHY ARTICLE IN JUNE FED
ERATIONIST TREATS M'NAMARA
CASE FROM LABOR STANDPOINT.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Recent Utterances in the
Outlook Printed in full with Extenoed
Comment.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The lead
ing article in the June issue of the
American Federationist, by President
Gompers, deals with the Mcnamara case.
1t quotes in full former President Roose-
velts article in the Outlook, then deals
with the article, as Mr.. Roosevelt is the
spokesman of number who think like
him. The article occupies sixteen pages,
and should be read by all as an expo
sition of labor's attitude on the Ne
Namara case. The following are few
quotations:
"If the trade unionists had been
taught by events not to attach much
credit, or even in most cases any credit,
to the yarns of detectives in regard to
the case which had been an almost daily
production for months after the explo-
sion, they had all the more reason to
put their own Interpretation of the sig
nificance of the finding of dynamite in
the building in which Secretary Nc
Namara had his office. If it can be
proven that dynamite was stored there
to the knowledge of Secretary AIcNa-
mara, he is a fit subject for an examina-
tion as to his sanity by expert alienists.
The incredibility that a directing dyna-
miter would have a stock of the explos-
i've either near his business office or
about the home of either of his parents,
or of any of his relatives, is an absurd
ity, if We are to give the accused man
credit for the least sense of calculation
whatever"

"What is the outcome to be? Are the
real plotters to be brought to book? Is
there a deep crimimality beneath the
surface of current happenings which the
public has not yet suspected? If the
unions had had the same amount of
money to eXpend as their antagonists,
how deep could they have probed into
the conspiracies against them? How
many of their accusers are themselves
capable of acts which might shock man

The circular appeal issued by the eX-
ecutive council for financial assistance

Trade unionists We're further impress
sed with the idea that the stage had
been set by the fact that the lawyer
for the Manufacturers Association, Wal
ter Drew, was at hand before the ar
rest, ready to supply the press with a
list of seventy alleged dynamite eXplo-
sions as having recently taken place, All
the scenery and properties of the piece
had thus been made ready beforehand.
1t might seem even that good part of
the press reports, such as a list of dyna-
mitings, had been mailed days before

tective Burns when he makes a certain

"The entire proceedings of the prose
cution in the case of the officers of the
Structural Iron Workers bears a strong
resemblance to the proceedings four
years ago in the prosecution of the Of
ficials of the Western Federation of
Miners. The kidnapping, the spectacular
advertising of the prosecutors, the
wholesale charges of murder, a self-con-
fessed culprit turning states evidence,
stories coming from him too eXtrayagant
to be believed, the many evidences of
secret deliberations and plottings in the
offices of the attorneys for the employ
ers, the strenuous endeavor to prejudice
the country against organized labor-ali
these factors have alike been conspicuous
in the two cases.

HEAVIER RAILS

The N, G. & ST. l.. R'y has com
menced che work of laying heavier
rails on its Sequatchie Valley Branch.
commencing at Bridgeport this week.
A few yeals ago a heavier rail was
put on main line, and old ones taken
up were put on this line. Now rail
as heavy as the rail used on the mai n
line will be placed in position. This
is necessary ON account of the heavy
engines now used on this branch, the
lighter rails not proving strong enough
for the purpose.

More Than Enough is Too Much.

To maintain health, mature man

and body heat. The habitual con-
sumption of more food than is necessa-

cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism
aud disorders of the kidneys. If troub-

DID NOT RECOVER
Rev. G. B. Draper Sue
Cumbs to Operation
For Appendicitis

Rev. G. B. Draper, pastor of the
NJ. Z. Church, South, here, died al
Morristown Monday at o'clock in
the afternoon from the effects of All
operation for appendicitis, which had
been performed in the Morristown
hospital Friday.
When Rev. Draper left here Mon
day evening of last week he was in
apparently good health, and the
news of his operation, which was
performed Friday, was surprise to
his friends who had never suspicion
ed that such an operation was con-
templated. He grew worse Sunday
and his wife was summoned to his
bedside, but did not arrive there be-
fore his death. His remains were
taken to his old home in Virginia for
interment. He had gone to Morris
town to attend the Conference of the
M. 4. Church, south, but was strick-
en- with appendicitis Friday. The
list of assignments for the coming
year was being read, and he had been
reassigned to this place for another
year, when news of his death in hos
pital was brought to the Conference.
He leaves a wife, three sons and four
daughters. One of his daughters,
Miss Mary Draper, is attending Hi
wassee College, and by vote of Con
ference it was decided to furnish
funds to continue her attendance at
that institution. His hospital and
funeral expenses were also borne by
the Conference.
Bro. Draper was highly esteemed
here, being of very pleasant turn
OF mind, and it caused great pain to
his many friends to hear of his death.
There is no appointment yet for this
place to fill the vacancy caused by
his death, and it is possible it will re-
main vacant.
When news was received of the
sudden turn for the worse of her hus-
band in hospital at Morristown, Mrs.
Draper left Monday morning for that
point, accompanied by Mrs. w. R.
Thomas. However on account of
not making train connections she
tailed to arrive before his death
which occurred that evening at four
o'clock. His daughters, Misses Nell
and Ruth, were apprised of his death
that night, and left next morning to
he present at the funeral,
The remains of Rev. Draper will
be inferred today at Bristol Va, in
the campus of Emery and Henry
College.
