The allies immediately an nounced that negotiations were broken by the refusal, and unless something intervenes to cause a re sumption of the conference a re newal of the war is likely. The other element, however, that is coming into the case is the near ness of the six great powers in con ference in London. These powers have too much at stake to permit of a failure in the negotiations, and it is confidently hoped and expected that their good offices will be brought into play to secure a further sitting of the conference. It is the con W ill Conviction of Alleged Dynamiters Stop Outrages Recently in Indianapolis thirty- eight labor union officials have been declared guilty of complicity in the McNamara dynamiting activities that for years have terrorized different sections of the country, including the wrecking of the Los Angeles Times building, which deed in all its horri fying details proved the undoing of those who today stand convicted be fore a jury in the United States Dis trict Court of Indiana A long drawn our trial of the Mc Namara brothers on the charge of having dynamited the Los Angeles Times catne to an abrupt and sensa tional termination through the con fessions of the principals. Ably de fended by the foremost legal talent of the country, it was early apparent to Mr. Darrow that to save these men from the gallows was the best that might be hoped for, as the evi dence against them was so over whelming that conviction could not hf forestalled. Consequently the con fessions were advised. However timely the confessions of the McNamaras may have been in saving them from the noose, tbe fact remains that through the evidence adduced at this trial, aided by the turn-coat McManigal's stories of crime, hundreds of labor leaders throughout the United States have been implicated, justly or unjustly, in a most dastardly conspiracy to wreck business houses, railroad en terprises and other great industries. Whether these men but recently convicted are actually guilty of the crimes charged is a matter not up to us to determine. The penal institu tions of our fair land enshroud In their cloaks of misery many a man who is innocent of the crime for which he has been sentenced. Many ar. innocent man’s life is slowly ebb ing away while he is serving a sen tence in expiation of the deed com mitted by another. However, this is the exception and not the rule. Sta- tirtics will prove that ninety-nine per cent of the inmates of our over filled prisons and houses of correc tion are guilty as charged But statistics will not show the percentage of cases where extenuat ing circumstances, that in a great measure are responsible for the com muai of most crimes, are taken into account. Doubtless these men found guilty of complicity in the recent na tion-wide business wrecking con spiracy o u ld plead extenuating con ditions, and if allowed the privilege very likely could present to the pub lic in a most sensational manner har rowing tales of downtrodden princi ples, labor contracts broken, the blacklist, less than living wages, wives and children forced to the sweat shop where labor-saving ma chinery every minute of the day en dangers life and limb, where children arc prodded by an overseer to keep them awake at the looms, where life’s ideals, life’s hopes and fancies, the air castles of youth, the rose bloom of health and happiness—all are crushed and forgotten in an ef fort to stave, if only for a day, the pangs of hunger, the chill of wintry blasts and the charitv of a public almshouse. Extenuating circumstances without number might be cited as justifica tion for a great many deeds that are contrary to the laws of both God and man, but can any one justify the wanton destruction of property or the sending of souls to an eternity for which they are probably unpre pared? Certainly there can be no justification of an act that brings to ar> untimely end the husband, father, son or brother—he who is the bread winner of a family or the mainstay of aged parents. Charles W. Miller. United States district attorney, who prosecuted for the government, said: “This prose cution will be a benefit to organized labor. It will purge it of rough tac tics. The whole United States owes a debt of gratitude to that jury.” Possibly the district attorney is right—possibly he is not. In any event, it might not be amiss to sug gest that it is not altogether within the ranks of organized labor that purging of rough tactics would prove of untold benefit to a long-suffering people. There is plenty of room for good missionary work in the ranks of the employer, and if the tactics of the latter were purged of their roughness, if the man who toils were given good, healthful working con ditions and wages in keeping with the high cost of living, and if the employer and employee would get together with the idea of arriving at an amicable adjustment of difficul ties then it would be a good, safe wager that such crimes as these men today staftd convicted of would im mediately cease. Hanging does not prevent murder, for the gallows hold out no terror to the man in whose heart lurks the de sire to kill Penal institutions do not correct; criminals, and in very few instances; does a man improve through con finement in prison; as à rule the fact that a man once wore stripes is suf-.
