Claims State Lodges Charge
Against individuals Who
Happened to Belong to
Executive Committee of
One Of the Unions
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

Los ANGELES, Nov. 10. - THE
state of California is not charging
union labor with this crime" de-
clared James w. Noel, special prose
cutor, today in his opening statement
in the trial of Matthew A. Schmidt,
charged with the murder of Charles
Haggerty, who lost his life in the
explosion which destroyed the Los
Angeles Times building five years
ago.
The state is charging individuals
who happened to belong to the ex-
ecutive committee of one of the
unions" continued Attorney Noel.
I'VE will show that these men stole
$4,000 from the treasury of the
Ironworkers and used it to promote
a series of crimes all over the United
States, the most dastardly of which
was the one with which we are con-
cerned here today. We expect to
prove by witnesses who will be here,
seventy-two of these explosions. We
will prove thirty-four of these explo-
sions by the men who placed the eX-
plosives."
The speaker then went on and de-
scribed explosion after explosion and
leaders throughout the country, among
them Frank c. Webb, OF New York
City; Michael ]. Cunane, of Phila-
delphia, and John H. Barry of ST.
Louis, each of whom was at one time
member of the executive commit
tee of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers; f. J. Clancy, of San Francisco,
and John T. Butler. of Buffalo, n. Y,
vice presidents of the same associa-
ton, and Anton Johansen, OF San
Francisco, organizer of the Building
Trades Council.
Mr. Noel said that the prosecution
expected to show through the cor
respondence of Ortie McManigal ana
by more than a thousand letters
which were confiscated from the Of
flee of ]. J. Mcnamara former sec
rotary of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
workers, that the labor leaders either
were implicated or had criminal
knowledge of the various explosions
the country.
The correspondence, for instance,
he explained, would show how on one
occasion Frank c. Webb and ]. J.
conspired to send ]. B.
to produce two explosions
in HobOken, n. ].
Three men We're mentioned as wit
nesses who viii testify that they &C
tua!ly set many of these explosions.
They Were Ortie f. McManigal, who
turned states evidence at the time
J. J. Mcnamara and ]. 3. Mcnamara
were placed on trial; George E. Davis
of New York City, an ironworker who
is alleged to have produced many
explosions in the east in 1908 and
1909, and Peter ]. Smith, at one time
business agent for the local iron
union in Cleveland, Ohio
Objections were made by Nathan
c. Coghlan. chief counsel for the de-
Tense, to the recital by Attorney Noel
Of explosions IN eastern states out

and which were made the subject of

president Of the council, who replied

Lord Peel. in support of his motion
sand that the figures which We're given
as 10 the expenditure on war and civil
Establishments for full year APP
PREACHED very nearly a total aggregate
amount Of the income of the nation.
He doubted whether the government
was sufficiently serious in enforcing
economy The government had acted
only half heartedly in restricting the
excess Of imports. and while advising
the nation TO practice economy, there
was no evidence that the government
was setting an example in economy.
Lord Davenport thought it likely
that the government would have to re-
sort 70 a forced loan.
We cannot go on indefinitely and
maintain our financial solvency." he
said He estimated the country i'm
ported from S25O.OOO.0OO to $500. 600 O0O

without The government. he urged,
should have courage to rest the system
or separation allowances so that no
family should have more than it re-
ceived before the war.

Rope Mill Burns

TRENTON, n. J., Nov. 10.-Fire of
undermined origin, which started in
the new rope mill of the John A. Roeb-
lings Sons company early today. short
~ afterward spread to the old rope mill
and at 3 o'clock was still burning
fiercely. At that hour the new mill had
been completely destroyed and al
though the entire city fire department
was fighting the flames, the fire spread
rapidly.
The firemen were greatly hindered
nv the intense heat which prevented
them getting their apparatus nearer
than a block from the blaze. Residents
for several blocks around were driven
from their homes by the heat and many
of them moved their household goods
into the streets.
The two rope mills occupied a space
of two city squares and the loss at this
time was estimated at well above a
million dollars.
The company was engaged in the
manufacture of large orders for chains
and barbed wire for the entente allies
and the plant was running night and
day.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, Nov.
10.-No official statement as to the
loss caused by the fire which prac-
ITALY destroyed the number foor
machine snop of the Bethlehem Steel
company here, had been given out
up to a late hour tonight. Unof-
fetal estimates placed the damage
between $1.000,00O and $4.000.000 with
many persons who viewed the dam
age expressing the opinion that even
the latter amount was too small.
They called attention to the fact
that the building destroyed secently
was reconstructed and equipped with
new machinery at Il cost of $1,000
600 and that 500 guns and large
quantities of other war material in
process of manufacture either were
destroyed or badly damaged A
number of gun carriages of a con-
signment of several hundred which
were completed and which were to
have been shipped to England today
were dragged out safely but the ma
jority of them were destroyed.
Estimates placed on this material
by many observers ran as high as
two million dollars and it was said
that very little of it escaped de-
structiOn or damage beyond repair.
Machinery and war material in the
building is said to have been worth
millions. The cause of the fire has
not been determined, started in the
boring mill One theory is that an
electric lamp exploded and fell into
a pool of oil. There were no fatali-
ties.
The fire started on the south side
of the building and soon ate its way
through the structure Floor after
floor loaded with machinery collapsed
and fell to the first floor The fire
will probably burn all day. The
burned building was recently re
built, expanded and equipped at a
cost of 100000 and was used for
the manufacture of guns for the
United States and for the English
allies. Eight hundred were in pro-
cess of manufacture at the time of
the fire.
Eight hundred employees were work
ing in the building when the fire
started and some of them were
obliged to escape by ropes.
