Miners VIII Aid Accused Union Men
Denver, April 24.-The Western Fed
Grafton of Miners stands ready to levy
an assessment of s. against each of
so. 900 members as a defense fund for
Secretary j. J. McNamara of the struc-
tural iron workers.
This statement was made to-day by
Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, to the
Associated Press. Mr.. Meyer said
II consider the entire affair a frame
up, similar to the one I and my associ-
ates experienced some years ago in con-
nection with the death of former Gov
ernor S~teunenberg of Idaho. The ar
rest of Mcnamara shows on its face that
it vas a frame-up. He was treated ex-
actly as we were. He was not given a
single show either by the Governor of
Indiana or the courts of Marion County.
THE charge that dynamite was kept
by McNamara in the headquarters of his
organization is silly. II he was in the
blowing up business he would have too
muck sense to keep dynamite around
his headquarters. 1t is very easy to
hire Orchards to plant dynamite where
the detectives who paid them to plant it
can find it.
1.-THE people instrumental in Nc
Namara's arrest will have to produce
good evidence to show why be wanted
to blow up the Los Angeles Times when
he is a member Of the structural iron
workers organization. Their case
might have looked better had they ar
rested a member Of the typographical
union.
1.-THE Western Federation went
through just such a siege. 1t is hard
on the individual, but it strengthens
the organization and also solidifes
Union labor.
"All Unions came to u support. and
now the Western Federation will re-
ciprocate. We will take official notice
Of the arrests as soon as it is necessary
and WI stand ready to levy and
pay willingly an assessment of So each
on q membership Of $4,000 to help de-
fray the expenses of this. the second
great fight that has been started by
the enemies Of organized labor against
its principles.
Detective Burns has simply taken a
number Of explosions that have oc-
Cured over the country, employed a
few Orchards and worked up a case.
I do not know McNamara personally,
but / do know President Ryan OF the
structural iron workers. He was a for
mer Colorado mining man. know
him to be one Of the most nservative
men in organized labor. I suppose he
directs the policy of his organization,
and know that his policy would not
be one Of dynamiting."
