FEDERATION.TO

At LABOR MEETING.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 17.-Anticipation
that the California delegation to the
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, in session here, will
make further attempts to obtain rec.
ognition for resolution appropriate
ing $4,000 for the defense of the Nc
Namara brothers, held the interest OF
the delegates today.
The successful efforts Of President
Gompers and other labor officials pre-
vented the introduction Of resolution
for the appropriation yesterday, the
last day on which resolutions could be
placed before the convention. The
unanimous consent of the convention
must be obtained before the matter
can be introduced in the form OF q
resolution, but according to a ruling
of President Gompers it may be post
poned by delegation as a substitute
for, a portion of committee report.
Another matter Of interest pending
is the probability of Mr.. Gompers
and fourteen other labor leaders now
members of the national civic fedora
tion, being asked to sever. their con.
nection with that body. 4a+.

Earthshocks are unusual IN the dls-
tricts affected and the alarm generally
was greater than would have been the
case in countries where seismas are a
more common occurrence. At Frank

populace rushed into the streets panic
stricken. Great cracks were made IN
the walls of the several buildings.
Stuttgart felt the movement

against the assertion by Attor-

were endeavoring to delay the

three years and ten months
and If the government has Its

Senator in Committee Hear
ing Cites Recent Cases as
Evidence Of Need Of
Amending Antitrust Act

Washington, D. G., Nov. H.
Changes In the Sherman antitrust law

sanctioned in the American tobacco
case and to prevent such delays IN
prosecution as have occurred in the
beef trust hearing, We're declared
i necessary by Senator Cummins today
at the hearing before the Interstate
n commerce commission of the senate.
Questioning H. B. Martin OF the
antitrust league, who opposed any
amendment to the Sherman law, Sen
ator Cummins referred to the decree IN
J the tobacco company case authorizing
the reorganization of four companies
and called attention to the announced
,,rpose Of the department of Justice
It to interfere with the reorganiza-
\ IN. sv.
\ a'I do not believe the organizations
& Of four companies will restore compe'
1tition, but in the minds Of the authori-
J. ties, it is apparently in harmony with
Ne antitrust law" said Senator Cum
ssRiins. I'm my opinion the antitrust
s5iaw will not maintain competition and
Hit ought to be amended and strength
Sened."
i Senator Cummins referred to pos
I ;ible limitation of the capital stock
l9f corporations; a diverging of manu-
featuring business from sources of
Z supplies and a separation of business
and transportation @ elements as
changes in the law that would lead to
better competition.
Mr. Martin said the antitrust league
OF which he Is secretary, purposes to
fight the dissolution decree In the
American Tobacco Co., case on the
ground that it does not apply to the
antitrust law. He declared that sue
ceeding ofRcials of the government in
the twenty-one years had failed to en-
force the law properly. s.s.
DO you claim they betrayed their
trust 2" asked Senator Cummins.
That is strong language" said Mr.
Martin, "but in some cases I believe
they did" : -, : -.
Senator Cummins said that in his
opinion when certain course had
been pursued over period OF years
by public officials, 1t indicated there
was either something essential lacking
in the law or that all public officials
AeOnstituted "a band of rascals."
ut is hardly conceivable" he said,
.'Nhat all of our judges, attorneys gen.
etal, presidents and other officials have
been in a conspiracy to defeat this
law. 1t would seem that the law could
be so amended that questions Of doubt
would be removed and that public
condemnation would fall on the man

Defense Exercised Four
4. Peremptory Challenges
and State Three; Five
Now Sworn as Jurymen.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 1.-Two
more Jurors, making five in all, were
sworn in the Mcnamara murder trial
today. They are J. B. Sexton, a retired
farmer, and William J. Andre, a non
union carpenter.
The other jurors, previously sworn,
are Robert f. Balm, F. D. Green and
Byron Lisk
The state excused Talesmen Arthur
Bribling, retired walnut grower, Will
liam Brunner, a locomotive engineer,
and Clark McLain, bank teller.
The defense excused Brewster C.
Kenyon, capitalist, A. C. Heath,
farmer T. H. Elliott, gardener, and
Jacob Lansing, orchardist. The de-
fense now has eleven and the state
five peremptory challenges left. IL
Judge Bordwell announced that he
would draw new venire of forty dur
ing the day. The excusing of McLain
by the state and Kenyon by the de-
fense and the failure of the defense to
excuse Andre were the surprises of
the session.
Brewster G. Kenyon. whose occuQa-
ton is looking after his interests in
various kinds of investments, admitted
on the stand that he had no admira-
ton for General Harrison Gray Otis,
proprietor of the Times. He was being
considered by the state for peremptory
challenge as it was thought he might
not be inclined to give due weight to
testimony from employees of the Times
If called as witnesses. It was not con-
sidered' the defense would challenge
him. <.. g.
Another Dynamite Trial ...
District Attorney Fredericks an
nounced today that he had assigned G.
Ray Horton, chief trial deputy, to try
the case of A. B. Mapes, Ira r. Ben
der and b H, Connors, indicted for an
alleged attempt to dynamite the hall
of records here month before the
Los Angeles Times was destroyed In
the fall of 1910. Counsel for the Nc
Namaras likewise are defending the
three men and the case Is expected
to be corrolary to the Mcnamara trial.
Horton has been the most active
thus far in court for the state other
than the district attorney himself and
his delegation to try Mape, Bender and
Connors will mean that the state will
lose an important member Of it's staff
in the Mcnamara trial.
The trial of the trio is scheduled for
December 1, but Attorney Darrow de-
clared today he thought a postpone
ment until after the Mcnamara hear
ing was over could be secured.
Bender is president of the Black
smiths union here and Connors is a
member of the Bridge and Structural
ION Workers local. g.A4
