ATTORNEY DARROW S PLIGHT.
The following editorial comment from the Garment Workers’
official organ is worthy of publication; also comment:
“ The trial of Clarence S. Harrow for alleged attempts to bribe
jurymen in the McNamara eas^ is now on in Los Angeles. As one of
the great attorneys of this country who have ably defended organized
labor and its leaders in trying situations his case will be watched with
great interest by trade unionists and their friends in the hope that,
he may he fully vindicated from the accusation. It is hardly con
ceivable that a man o f his character and intelligence would resort
to the method with which he is charged to win a case. In his defense
he is confronted mainly by a detective who, it is charged, was a paid
detective in the employ of the prosecuting attorney while employed
by the McNamara defense. If this is the case, it will invalidate his
testimony. Attorney Harrow has expressed absolute confidence that
he will he acquitted. Clarence Harrow has fought many a good tight
for labor unions, and the working class ought not to forget him now
that lie himself is in need of friends. If he needs financial assistance,
it should he freely given ; and it is hoped that the labor papers o f this
country will do all possible service in his behalf that he may have a
lair trial and a just verdict. He is confronted with implacable ene
mies, and his friends must rally to his support that the labor haters of
California may not flatter themselves that Harrow has been deserted
by his former friends in the labor movement.”
The writer docs not agree with the editor of the official organ of
the Garment Workers’ organization when he says the labor papers
and the members o f organized labor should contribute to a fund for
the defense of Mr. Harrow. Neither do we share the opinion that
Harrow lias always been a friend of organized labor. Whatever lie
did he charged saucily for it, and labor paid the price. lie never
turned a hand in the defense of labor unless he first had an under
standing concerning the price he was to receive and it generally
reached the highest point. When he appeared before the Anthracite
Coal Commission for the miners who had been on strike for six
months and then went hack to work pending the result of the coin-
mission’s deliberations, he put the tariff on, and yet there were ofli-
cers in the Miners’ Union who knew that Harrow bungled things and
bungled them badly. The hill he charged for the work he did in the
Mnyer-llnywood-Pettiborie trial was enormous.
When lie was engaged to defend the McNamaras at lirst he said
he did not want to engage in the trial because it would be a long
one. Then lie consented and decided to live in Los Angeles, lie
charged an enormous sum of money for his services in this case, and
liiql the case gone to the jury, would have charged one thousand dol
lars for every day he spent in court. Clarence figured the matter out
all right for Clarence. He knew the McNamaras were guilty months
before they confessed and yet foxy Clarence permitted the thousands
in tljis country to believe ill tllcir innocence after they confessed to
him that they were guilty. Why did Clarence do so? Was it to up
hold the dignity of labor, or to get sufficient money in the fund,
over which he exercised supreme power, in order that Clarence in
the future would not need to care which way the wind blew? It is
possible to pull the wool over the eyes of the laboring people once in
a while, hut you can’t do it all the time!
Harrow committed an unpardonable offense when he failed to
disedose the truth to the millions of wage-earners in this country con
cerning the guilt of the McNamaras. Clarence knew how to play the
game, however. He had charge of the fund that was created for
the defense of the scoundrels who betrayed organized labor and
joined with the wreckers of it in an effort to destroy it for all tiiilt

who believed the McNamaras innocent, not a cent would come from
(lie burdened hacks of labor, lie knew then and lie knows now that
organized labor abhors brutality and injustice. Yet Clarence with
held the facts from people whom lie wished would continue to send ill
their mite because he realized if the truth were made known lie would
have to go hack to Illinois. Now that he is in trouble himself lie can
not expect support from those whom he deceived hv keeping the

THE CANAL S FAR REACHING EFFECTS
How far reaching will he the effects of the construction of the
Panama Canal may he seen in the fact that the traffic between Buenos
Ayres and the I’aeitie Coast is relied upon to make the Chilean \
Trans-Andean Railroad profitable This road, which runs from Val
paraiso to the boundary on the summit of the Andes, connects with a
road built by Argentina from the summit to Buenos Ayres. It has
been operated by the Chilean government at an enormous loss, which
lias brought the republic into financial difficulties. Financiers of
various nationalities have offered to lease the state railroads of Chile
and provide the facilities needed. They evidently rely upon the di
version of Argentine commerce to the Pacific Coast h\ way of the]
Trails Vndean railroad and Valparaiso to make that road profitable.
Tilt' effect of the canal will he practically to annex Argentina
commercially to the I’ aeitie Const of South America. The great bulge
eastward in the Atlantic Coast of that continent and the fact that the
Atlantic Coast of North Vmerinea is in almost a direct line north and
south with the Pacific Const of South America combine to make the
Trans-Andean railroad and the canal the shortest route between
Buenos Ayres and New York. The distance from Buenos Ayres to
Valparaiso through the Straits of Magellan is s o great that the traffic i
It should be an unmixed good that a department of labor may
he constituted at Washington and take its place as a distinct organ
ization in the government of the country. Apart from the satisfac
tion to federated and unionized labor by the passage of a hill which
they have long advocated it will be to the advantage of the nation
that there may be a department where labor may have its recognized
representation, on the same plane as public health, child welfare, for
estry. commerce and industry, and the rest.
While all civilized nations are striving to haromnize the relations
between labor and the community it is well that labor—so-called— be
recognized as a part o f the organic whole o f the nation’s life, and
that the class consciousness may be minimized, to which so much of the
existing antagonism which organized labor suffers from is due.
The great danger o f the times in England, France, and, in a less
degree in America, is that organized labor, wanting recognition and
aid from the nation through its government, should go after false gods
and yield itself to the seductions of syndicalism, of direct action, and
of anarchistic socialism. Largely these dangers are the direct fruit of
want o f confidence of the individual men on those whom they have
elected to leadership and influence. The remedy is to surround the
management of organized labor with evidences of national confidence
and respect— for like begets like.
In recent disputes it lias been repeatedly seen that the influence
of disinterested officials of a high class lias been a potent power in
file settlement. The department of labor will he. or should be, the
strongest source whence that harmonizing influence mav flow.
