Although none of the officers of th HuiklinK Trades Council could be reached today, and the offlcea In the labor Council and the Building Trade Temple are closed. It Is believed tha ome of this defense fund of the Bul'.d Ing Tradea Council will be devoted to the defenae of Johannsen. Tveltmoe and Clancv.

"Clancy has not confessed and he xt !tl not confess. asserted Hendricks. ' Hi has nothlajt to confess. They only started that story hoping It would have rfre.-t on the others. They thought the ethers would be scared and tell some tn'.ng. But they can't, for there Is r.otMng to tell. 1 11 make a statement for you one of t;.eee days that win make the people lt up and take notice." Hendricks continued. "We are not asleep by any means." Attorney Ilarriman stated that coun sel to aid him In the defense of Tvelt moe. Johannsen, Munsey and In all probability Clancy, had been deter mined, but that lie was not yet pre pared to make a public announcement. His use of the word "they'" In speak ing of additional counsel, gave strength to the rumor, however, that Le vompie Itavta and Clarence S.
