 Knowing what. they were willing to stoop to in my own case, is 1t not reason able for me to believe" he said, .'that the men under arrest are the victims of similar and more successful conspiracy? Capital will stoop to anything to retain its grip on the. throats of the workers Of this country
 fIt is not difficult for capital to find thugs who will commit crimes that are later fastened on the shoulders of honest men. I tell you these dynamitings that have been occurring all over tho country during the last year are only part of a plot that capital has framed up In last desperate effort to crush labor, unions.
 But if money will buy tools, 1t will also lire able lawyers and labor will see that the McNamaras and any others who may be arrested with them, have the best tall ent in the countrDto defend them"
