Fighting for Colorado Miners.

Neutrality-suspicious. Guggenheim

tariff on Colorado ores and asks that
cities send representatives to the
finance committees hearing opening
February 18th, when the bill will be
considered. Tungsten, produced large
ly in Boulder county. is scheduled for
the free list, which would force com.
petition with cheap Asiatic labor and
probably destroy the home industry.
Zinc ores are also placed on the free
list by this bill. abolishing the pres
cnt duty Of u cent to 1 cent a pound.
This would seriously injure state in
dustries. A cut OF rs per cent. is nro-
posed on lead ores and lead bullion.
The reduction would close many of
the Colorado mines. The senator be-
lieves that the steel schedule revis-
ion of the House bill would seriously
handicap Colorado mills.

Indianapolis.-Unio labor officials
and agents, said to number thirty to
forty, whom the government holds
crimnally responsible with the McNa-
maras and Ortie e. McManigal for
perpetrating more than 100 explosions
in cities from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia in the last six years, including
the wrecking of the Los Angeles
Times building, were indicted
Thirty-two indictments were re-
turned.
Capiases for arrests have been is
sued and all the men indicted are to
be taken in custody on day secretly
fixed by the government, known to be
within week.
March IL has been set for the ar
raignment before Federal Judge A. B.
Anderson in Indianapolis.
The papers for the arrests designate
the amount of bond which the defand-
ants may give in the federal districts
in which thy reside for their appear
ance here.
The amounts of the bonds in the in.
dividual cases were not made known,
but It was said in the aggregate they
would total 100000.
Although the names of the defen
dants and their exact number were
ordered withheld pending the arrests,
it was said probably more than thir-
ty-two and possibly forty men are &C
oused, inasmuch as more than one
defendant is named in some of the
indictments. Among the men it was
said were either union officers or men
who were charged with affiliating
with the dynamiters.
Asked if any men higher up" had
been indicted, United States District
Attorney Miller refused to say. Init
nation came from another source
that no officials higher than those
who had had headquarters in Indian
apolis were involved.
Frank M. Ryan, president of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, and Herbert
S. Hockin, the secretary-treasurer,
when informed of the indictments, re-
fused to comment, except to repeat
their statements that ]. ]. Mcnamara
acted on his own responsibility when
he organized his "dynamiting crew."
Hockin succeeded Mcnamara as sec
retary-treasurer of the association.
With the return of the indictments
District Attorney Miller completed an
inquiry begun last October and the
federal grand jury ended six weeks
hearing of testimony in which, it is
said, McManigal's confession, given by
him before the Jurors, and involving
others, and papers taken from the
headquarters of the iron workers, had
an important bearing.
These papers were said not only to
have shown under what circumstances
McManigal was induced to start into
the dynamite business against open
shop" contractors, beginning in De-
troit in June. 1907, but also to throw
light on the $1,000 a month allowed
McNatara for organizing purposes.
