LEADERS Of LABOR
ARE ONCE MORE
ACCUSED
TWO MORE INDICTMENTS ARE
RETURNED AGAINST TvEiT-
MOE AND OTHERS.

Los Angeles, Jan. 6.--Although two
indictments were returned, the close of
the federal grand jury investigation of
the alleged national dynamiting con-
spiracy failed today to develop ex-
pected sensations. The true bills re-
turned, according to the best informa-
tion obtainablc in the face of official
silence, concern only the California
labor leaders formally accused last
Saturday of conspiracy to transport
dynamite, who have been reindicted on
the same charges.
The only difference is that whereas
the bill filed last week charged that
the dynamite was transported on pas
senger trains across the continent. the
two indictments returned today con-
tained three counts covering all other
possible means of conveyance.
The indicted labor leaders. Olaf
Tveitmoe, Anton Johannsen and T. a.

Munsey Of Salt Lake City, will be arr
rested under the new charges on Mon
day. according to officials of the
