 By the liberation of Hiram k. Kline, la former official of the carpenters. union, olaf A. Tveitmoe of San Fran Icisco remained as the only labor union
 
 lated with the iron workers union. But 1t was Tveitmoe who was charged by the government with having connived with President Ryan and McNamara for the destruction of life and property on the Pacific coast. 1t was Tyeitmos who again and again was referred 60 by the government, before the jury, as u murderer, who ought to be .n San Quentin prison, along with the Me Namaras."
 From the bench Federal Judge Albert lB Anderson read in connection with sentencing the men, a statement iu which he said:
 "rhe evidence shows some of these defendants to be guilty of murder"
 The court said also. the evidence in this case will convince any impar- tial person that government by in- junction is infinitely to be preferred to government by dynamite"
 The sentence of Herbert S. aockip. termed the "Iaso of the conspiracy" and the sentence of Tveitmoe was re- ceived by each of them without an expression. Eugene A. Clancy of san Ir Lake City, both of whom were charged with assisting in the escape of James B. McNamara from the scene of hls crime at Los Angeles, also received their sentences in silence.
 Ryan Remains Silent
 When the court issued general in- vitation to any of the men to stare what reasons they had, if any, wry sentence should not be pronounced, Ryan, too remained silent Steps toward appeals In behalf of all the prisoners to the United States cir cult court of appeals already have been taken.
 Chester H. Krum with other counsel. appared before Judbe Anderson late today to arrange for the filing of w rits of errors This formality may be done tomorrow.
 Meantime Mir. Krum said. there was no prospect of procuring liberty for any of the men through supersedeas bonds All the prisoners are to go to Leayenworth,
 What time the special train is to carry them there, United States Marshal Edward Schmidt refused to state, az he has been instructed to keep in ab- solute secrecy the departure and route of the train. It was understood no efforts would be made to take the train out before tomorrow.
 Less than 20 minutes was required by the court in the work of actually imposing sentences, although for an hour and a half before that time Judge Anderson invited each prisoner to step up and talk with him as to his de- gree of guilt.
 The scene was unusual The prison- CTS had been arranged three rows deep, each being seated in alphabetical ar rangement. In front sat dozen at torneys for the defense, whose motions for setting aside the verdicts and for arrests of judgments all were over | -~------~------~~~~>------
