Legal notice 2 cents per line. County Official Paper The greatest set-back that Union Labor ever received was the confession of the McNamaras at Los Angeles. It was a confess ion that the McNamaras and Mc Manigals had blown up with dy namite the Los Anpeles Tiroes Building and the Lewe'.len Iron Works Buildings and murdered twenty one innocent men. It was a confession that the leaders of organized labor had paid the money obtained from the rank and file of the organizations for the purpose of murder and de struction of property. It was a confession that the heads of or ganized labor were trying to govern by anarchy. The con fession of the McNamaras was the confession of the head of or ganized labor. There can tie no veloprrients other reasonable construction case sireng:hens that belief al- placed on it. lo say that tne mc- most to a certair.tv. Yet Mover i over. should nvoiw sntr.mary discharge from any connection with labor; let them go on with their murderous work under its proper name, anarchy, instead of dragging any honor able labor unions into it. And right here it may be well to call attention of the public to the statements of Moyer. who was charged with the murder of Gov. Steunenbwg of Idaho, to gether with Haywood and Petti bone, and who were acquitted of the charge. When these men were arrested, charged with the crime of of murder and Harry Orchard confessed to the entire plot and said he was hired by these big Union Labor men to do the work, what did Union Labor do? It did just the same as it did when the McNamaras were arrested: it howled and raved, that capital was trying to put labor on the plane of slavery; it held street parades: sold buttons, gave shows and everything else it could to raise money and then hired Clarence Darrow, the great criminal lawyer to defend, which he did successfully ; the men were acquitted before a jury of 12 men but never by the great jury of fair minded and impartial people of America. It was and still isi the belief of many thousands j of people that Mover. Haywood thur it was intended it should be on; let the investigation and prosecu tion continue until all are punish ed who deserve punishment. Then capital, labor and ordi nary citizen will be better olF. There is a Commercial Club in St. Helens, or rather, there was one some time ago. It started out with a goodly membership and considerable enthusiasm, but seemingly has passed away. There are numbers of things which a good live organization can Jo for a community and our city should have one. Several of the acts done by the late organi zation were very beneficial and with a little more ginger added much more could be accomplished. Let us get get together on a proposition of this kind and re vive the commercial organization and place it on a good working basis and see what can be done. One thing that demands the attention of a Club, not only for St. Helens, but for Houlton, as weil. is the matter of getting the Railroad Company to place a few lights at the depot over at Houl ton: and while this is being done impress upon the officials of the fact that their outbuildings around the depot are a disgrace to any company or olficer of any company.

HELENS, OREGON wktland Daily row St. Helens Rink Namaras were acting on their own theory and account without the advice and direction of other labor leaders is the merest folly and can only be advocated by those who are so unfair a.vl prejudiced as to be able to see only one way on any question t .-..: may arise. That the ether k-a ':r. r men in the organization '.vtrv directing the outrages as confess ed by the McNamaras is self evi dent. The cry from such men as Samuel Gompers and others high in the councils of the organization that they were imposed upon by the McNamaras is utterly foolish and comes onlv as a method o: i deceiving the poor laboring men who have been robbed for years by just such agitators. Union labor has received a black eye and it is well that it has. Far be it from any fair minded man to say that labor can not organize for its own protection and guid ance, but to be deceived and made fools of by such men as have been directing the atfairs of the central organizations of labor was not to be expected. Extremists and agitators have so taken hold of the arfairs of labor that the end was inevit able, and until such time as the unions are rid of anarchists and murderers at their heads, their accomplishment in the way of protection and betterment of con ditions will be nothing, at least nothing permanent. This has been and is a severe; but timely, lesson to labor unions: j that is the rank and file; it ha3 been a revelation to them that no other means could have revealed. ! No amount of talking by n.cro. man could have made ore union j man out of a thousand to believe ' that such thirgs were being , done by their trusted heads. But the confession of the Mc Namaras wiil be the means, or at least it should be, of a general housecleaning in the Unions and a weeding out of such men as have been committing murder in the name of labor. It should re sult in a divorce of honest labor union men from socialist street C orators and agitators. Honest and honorable men should be says that the McNamaras :.re traitors and should never huve confessed: they should havedt ne as he did. Then they would h.v.e these things have all leen taken up and disposed of others of equal importance will come up to be looked after. Let's organ ize.
