Gompers Knew McNamaras We're
GuiIty--Responsibility for tho
Outragcs VIII BE Settled.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. st Is
perfectly true that the executive coun-
ell of the Iron Workers Union voted
a monthly fund OF $1,000 to be paid
to John j. McNamara. There Is evi-
dence to substantlate the charge that
this money was knowingly voted for
the purpose of Mcnamara and Ortie
McManigal and that it was used by
them in their dynamiting operations"
That was the statement of William
j. Burns, who arrived here tonight
from Akron, Chic.
Going After Uighcrups.
That he was going after the men
higher up, and a criticism of Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. were other
points emphasized by Mr.. Burns.
The detective spent the day in Ak
ron, where he investigated the Berger
Iron Works explosion Of July. 1910.
I'VE are going after the men back
Of the McNamaras, said Mr.. Burns,
"and the investigation will be pushed
energetically, bringing to justice those
who are really responsible for the out
RACES of the country"
Confident OF Indictments.

dence will be brought before the
grand jury at its meeting there De-

dictments.

people that he was deceived In the
McNamaras, he is uttering lot Of
drivil and buncombe. 1t Is Gompers
who is fooling organized labor, for
he knew the McNamaras were guilty
and yet after we had arrested them,
he came to Indianapolis and sat In
conference with them"
Little On Days Happenings.
Mr.. Burns read with interest the
days developments in Los Angeles,
but said he had no comment to make
on the added details OF the Balm con-
fession, or the rumor that arrest Of
one of the counsel for the McNam
aras was impending. He also had
nothing to say az to the reported de-
ve!opment indicating wholesale at
tempts at jury bribing.
After spending all of tomorrow in
Cleveland investigating the dynamite
cases, Mr. Burns will leave for New
York. there to continue his work.
Draw Drag Net Tightly.
He declined to give out any details
as to his plans for the future. simply
saying that the drag net would be
drawn tightly and was expected to
enmesh the ringleaders Of the dyna-
miting outrages.
Have you any fears of personal
violence?" Mr.. Burns was asked.
