The other members are Frank NJ.
ers. Herbert s. Hockin of Detroit; John
T. Butler, of Buffalo, N. Y, and Philip
A Cooley Of New Orleans.
All the men west Of Denver, who
were indicted, are regarded as being
already in custody. Appeals have come
to President Ryan from many points
asking the Iron Workers International
Union to assist indicted men in secur-
ing bonds and thus prevent their going
to jail. Some appeals were said to
have come from those who had escaped
serving of warrants and who were en-
deavoring to be assured they would not
have to go to Jail.
To the appeals the iron workers Off
cials replied that the union was in no
position to furnish bonds as the aggre-
gate of $4,000 required made it i'm
possible.
A great majority of the indictments
were based on evidence taken by the
government from the iron workers in
ternational officers here, District Attor-
ney Miller said. The evidence thus Sc
cured he said was correspondence from
local unions in which reference to
places that were to be blown up was
made.

preparedness for war while awaiting

desired end.
