Rochester. y. u, Nov. 22.-The
American Federation of Labor decid-
ed,today, to ask the unions affiliated
with it to raise money for the defence
of the alleged dynamiters, who are on

The resolution adopted by the con-

convention on their return advise their
international unions and local bodies
TO provide financial assistance for the
trade unionists on trial in Indianap-
oils To aid them in securing a fair trial
and in appealing the cases should fair
trial be denied them"
The resolution also urged that the
men on trial Not be convicted in ad :

certain corporations and a private de-
tective agency are clamoring for a
conviction.

The convention refused to take any
action in the dispute between factions
OF the international Brotherhood OF
Electrical Workers and re-affirmed its
decision that only the faction affiliat-
ed with the Federation is legal.

The report of the committee on pres

amendment
The committee defined the attitude
of the Federation in the so-called
"dynamiting" cases, including the Nc.
Namara cases, in these words:
THE American labor movement as
represented in the American Fedora
ton of Labor will neither countenance
nor condone any one who. under the
cloak of trade unionism undertakes to
carry on q criminal warfare on So
eiety. That some of these men are
guilty of carrying on such warfare
lappears from the confessions they have
made relative to their connection with
| these crimes. That every man must
be considered innocent until he has
been proven guilty has always beer
accepted as q fundamental proof OF
our Jurisprudence and in the consid
GRAFTON of his case before the courts
he is entitled to q fair and impartial
trial"
