BY United Press Leased Special Wire
DAYTON. o., April 27.--The course
taken by labor leaders since the ar
rest of the McNamaras and McMani-
gal for alleged dynamiting outrages,
intensified belief in a union conspir-
acy to rule or ruin the industries of
the nation by anarchistic methods, IN
the opinion of John Kirby, president
Of the National Association of Manu-
facturers. He gave the following
statement to the United Press today:
BY John Kirby.
When the Los Angeles Times was
blown up, Samuel Gompers, who was
in ST. Louis at the time, was report
ed in an interview. to have declared
that It was "a frame-up on the part
OF the capitalists and open shop en-
ployers to put organized labor in bad
repute." Immediately upon the ar
rests made few days ago. including
the secretary-treasure OF the Associ-
alton Of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, he is reported TO have de-
clared that the arrests and prosecu-
! tions are intended to destroy organic
ed labor"
And the whole influence Of his
kind of organized labor was quickly
put into operation to prevent the
transportation Of Mcnamara to Cali
| fornia, and a great cry Of protest has
gone forth because he was not given
an opportunity 10 escape.
/ am asked TO give capitals view
of the case. I can only give my own
view or organized labor's murderous
record and the many bridges and
buildings built by non-union labor
which have been systematically blown
up, cannot differ materially from the
opinion Of every sane American citi.
zen.
The evidence against Mcnamara
and his associates appears to be con.
elusive. They should be given speedy
and impartial trials and. If guilty
they should be hanged, If innocent
they should and certainly will be
given their liberty.
But I'm the light Of all the circum'
stances it would seem fitting that labor
officials refrain from declaring the
men innocent before they have beeI
tried by a jury Of their peers.
The couse they have taken and arr
persistiug in can have no other effec
than to intensity general belief in
union conspiracy TO rule or ruin tn
industries Of this nation by anarchisti
methods.
In the interest of Christian civiliza
tion and the perpetuity of our form Q
Government absolute justice shoul
prevail and no guilty man should ei
cape. whether a union man or not
