BRYAN ASKS SQUARE
DEAL FOR LABOR MEN

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan, 4.-"As might
have been expected, the Mcnamara
confessions have given the enemies OF
labor a chance to libel all connected
with organized efforts to protect the
wage earners Men who are indig-
nant whenever the sins OF sweatshop
owners are charged against all manu-
sacturers and when the vices or the
'Napoleans OF Finance, are laid TO the
doors OF bankers generally, hasten 10
hurl broadsides at all who earn tfreir
bread In the sweat of-the brow. This
Is unfair in the extreme.
This is the opening statement OF an
editorial discussion OF the Mcnamara
case In william j. Bryan's Commoner
today. Bryan makes demand for a
square deal for union labor.
The McNamaras have been guilty
Of an awful crime" continues the ed
itorial. and all law abiding citizens
rejoice that punishment has been met
ed out TO them Organized labor Is
not to blame for them; on the con-
trary Il Is stronger for their elimina-
ton and only those who encouraged
them or defend their conduct ought to
share their condemnation.
Organized labor has learned les
son-it will be more careful In the
selection Of It's leaders and society
NAV we'll pause and inquire II there
Is ANYTHING wrong In the conditions
which led these men to enter into &c
dastardly conspiracy against life and
property"

fame, is now on view in the east gal

At this point man sitting opposite
with his ears pricked up, leaned for

that he is dead"

The other mans face fell, and for
a long minute he looked as blank as
a board. Then he felt that it was up

it: ss4n
