RAP FOR MURDERERS
eoMPERs SENDS LETTER TO La
RoR pENoUNcINc M'NAMARAs.
American Federation Leaders Declare
Industrial Condition Responsible
for Dynamite outrages.

Washington.-That labor unions
have no desire to condone the crimes
of which the Mcnamara brothers re-
Gently pleaded guilty at Los Angeles,
is the declaration of Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in a letter to unions
Of the United States. The statement
is signed by the ways and means COM
mittee, which was named to raise the
Mcnamara defense fund.
Contained in the statement is the
following criticism Of the McNamaras:
Organized labor Of America has no
desire to condone the crimes OF the
McNamaras. 1t joins in the satisfac-
tion that the majesty Of the law and
justice has been maintained and the
culprits punished commensurately for
their crime. ~.
1T is cruelty unjust to hold the
men Of the labor movement either
legally or morally responsible for the
crime of an individual member. No
such moral code or legal responsible
ity is placed upon any other associa-
tion Of men in our country.
Blame for conditions which produce
such men as the McNamaras Is
thrown upon employers.

Chicago.-P. A. Valentine, former
treasurer for Armour & Io., and Il. h.

ured conspicuously in the trial OF the
ten indicted Chicago packers charged
with violating the Sherman antitrust
act.
The names of the two financiers

toned Albert H. Veeder, former cOun'
sci for Swift & Co., regarding con-
tract No. Z, which provided for a loan
of S15, 100000 in the formation OF the
National Packing company.
The reading OF the agreement
showed that Mr.. Gary was to take
over all the assets Of the packers in
consideration for the loan. MIR. Val
entine signed the agreement In be-
half OF J. Ogden Armour.
The old pool Of packers, 1t devel-
oped, was known only as "P. o. BOX

the $A00,0O0,OO0 merger OF the pack.

financial strain of 1903 prevented the
promoters from securing loan OF
$90.000,O00 from New York bankers

two United States senators who
called on him that he intends next
Wednesday to send to the senate
for confirmation as Supreme court
justice, to succeed the late Justice
Harlan, the name of Judge William
C. Hook, of Leavenworth, AKIN.

stood that when they approached the
subject of the Supreme court Judge
ship the president stopped them, say

"No use. l am going to appoint
Judge Hook"
The president also told a Texas
commissioner that he would not ap-
point Secretary Nagel to the Supreme
bench because the secretary had pass

spare him from his cabinet.
