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. Then why not see what

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
