FOR ERECTORS'
UNION SAYS VERDICT
WILL HAVE GOOD EFFECT

New York, Dec. Snow that the
dynamiters have been found guilty, the
pressing question OF the hour is, what
is the American Federation Of Labor go
ing to do?''
So declared Walter Drew. counsel for
the National ErectOrs' Association. who
did monumental work in bringing the
dynamiters to justice.
This union, the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers, is a member of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. Frank NJ. Ryan is one
of the members OF the executive council
nt the Federation by virtue Of his Office
as president Of the union. The entire eX-
ecutive board Of the union. with the ex-
ception of one, has been found guilty of
conspiracy. Is the American Federation
OF Labor going to retain this union
among it's membership? Does the fed
Grafton think of the duty devolved upon
It by having a member OF its family con-
victed in this fashion?
The conviction of the thirty-eight
men. we believe, will have great moral
effect on the country. We were not look
ing for our pound OF flesh. but merely
wished to have the dynamiting stopped
all over the country.
