ACTIVE BEFORE THE
 TIMES EXPLOSION Government Charges Clancy Called for HOckin Four
 Months Previous

Indianapolis Ind, November Flour months activity of labor leaders on the Pacific coast preceded the fatal explosion telegrams introduced by the government at the trial of the 45 accused dynamite plotters" today From telegrams and let ters read to the jury the government set forth this part of it's contention as fol- lows:
 Four months before the Los Angeles Times building was blown up Eugene A. Clancy, a labor leader in San Francisco who had been instructed to investigate labor conditions in Los Angeles, tele- graphed to John J. McNamara in India napolis:
 ''The fight is on in Los Angeles We are going to win. Send Hockin at once. 7
 McNamara after referring the request to Frank NJ Ryan, president of the In ternatonal Association of Bridge and Structural Ircn Workers, wired Clancy: Better get a man in Los Angeles 70 do the work Hockin too busy in the east It was about this time, according to Ortie E McManigal's confession, that Herbert S. Hockin was leader of the 'dynamiting crew.
 Clancy went to Seattle, and on August 16. 1910, H. W. Pohlman. labor leader tkere. wrote !. J. McNamara: Clancy met his man here after waiting week for him I think 1 understand the situa- tion.' James B. McNanlara was then in Seattle and the government charges that Clancy met him there. On August 3l, an office building under construction In Seattle wase blown up.
 At this time $10o0 was voted by the iron workers union executive board to the California Building Trades council for use in promoting the union at Los Angeles. A receipt for the amount. signed by Claff A Tveitmoe, secretary of the council, was produced
 James B. McNamara in the meantime visited San Francisco and later went to Los Angeles where he blew up the Times building october l. Clancy visited Michael J Young. Boston, another defendant, but according to telegrams, hurried back to San Francisco when he heard 2 men had been killed.
 The government contends the cores pondence shows that McNamara's mission 10 the Pacific coast was known to Clancy Tveitmoe and to J. E. Munsey, Salt Lake City, who is charged with harboring the dxnamiter for two weeks after the ex- plosion.
 Testimony that dynamite was taken to the iron workers headquarters in India napols to within few weeks before the MrNamaras were arrested was given by Martin l. Hyland, chief of police of In dianapois He identified newspapers which had been wrapped about four pack ages of dynamite They were newspapers from Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati the latest being dated April 3, 1911.
