LAW HAS BEEN VINDICATED Bsrkrrs of Iefene Compelled to Exert Pressure. Say Times Publisher, to Save. Face of Organized Lbor. LOS ANGELES. Doe. 1. (Special.) General Harrison Gray Otl tonight Issued the following mtrmtnt: "We of the Tlneii declared from the oiiom and ever after that the Times building was criminally destroyed by the use of dynamite and we have be lieved from tlx beslnnlng that the crime was committed af the behest of organized labor, but as to thin we have patiently waited fr the production oi the evidence, desiring only a fair trlaL The result of confessions of the McNamara brothers In open court Is a a-reat triumph for the truth and law. It vindicates our contention. It Is proof of what v.e suspected from the osHsot that this unexampled crime was In spired by orRanlzrd labor or was done by desperate members of organization who kpew beforehand that they would hare the sympathy of their lawlees fellows their lawless, not their law ful, fellows. The confessions are timely and rendr unnecessary the complete proving; of the charsres through the evidence ready to be produced In court by the prosecution's officers a mass so strong, direct and Indisputable as to render conviction certain. Meaarlaa; Alllaara aspect rd. "As the case progressed there was apparent a dangerous menace In the form of an alliance between Socialism and violent trades unionism, but thla alliance became so obvious to the more enlightened and law-abiding; leaders of both sides as to make a separation of these aggressive bodies absolutely nec essary fr the good of each. In their career of blind sympathy for the crim inal dynamiters who blew up the Times building, they could not afford 'to have It said that organized labor aa a body chose deliberately to ally Itself with crime and violence, so that. In the last resort, both of these classes back ing the defense found themselves un nerved and unmanned and hence pres sure was brought to bear upon the ac cused from two directions to confess to condemn themselves and thus save tha face of organized labor and Social ism so far as the latter had been drawn Into tha fight. "As to me and mine, we stand vin dicated In our quarter of a century stand for Industrial freedom. More now than ever do we stand for that great and vital principle for which we have stood during all these Ions; years of battle, the essential principle of religious freedom, poltlcal freedom or personal freedom In a land governed br a free constitution and laws made thereunder. -The result may be and ought to be of great service to organized labor Itself, which with the criminal and mo nopolistic elements eliminated, may ro on In a career the like of which it can never achieve by further making Itself an ally of violence, prescription.' mo nopoly and crime. With these elements eliminated, there Is no reason why or ganised labor may not take a defen sible stand In this country, a stand which shall bring It always within the pale of law. always within the pale of reason, moderation and Justice, never again pursuing; the bad tactics which have so often marked Its course In the past, where and when resort has been so frequently had to prescription. Industrial monopoly, violence, boycott and the cruel persecution of workmen having every right which organized la bor can possibly possess under the con stitution and law. Right Oraaala Xet Healed. "I say these things not because I am a believer In the wisdom of many of the tenets of organised labor or In the necessity for Its contentions, but be cause I had never had any purpose to deny the right of labor to organise lawfully. "I now repeat this statement which I have made a thousand times before. I never denied the right of laborers of all classes to unite and art within the limitations of the law. but the ne cessity of obedience to law on the part of all workmen, citizens and all em ployers, large and small, la a supreme necessity. If we are to have peace In the Republic and preserve tha govern ment under which we live. "Noho.lv can he more glad than t mill be If organized labor as a whole shall rise to the height of purging Its ranks of lawless methods, principles, purposes and persons. Should It do this It will put Itself In the right and attain life and power which It can never attain otherwise. Thus It ran live In usefulness. In honor. Instead of dyng in Infamy. "So far as I and the Los Angeles Tiroes are concerned, we have had some hand In the conflict. I declare that I would gladly see organized la bor thus purge Itself for Its own good, the country's good and tha cause of labor broadly. "But If need be. the battle will go on from our vantage point, the vantage point of liberty and Uw. for we can not surrender, and the American peo ple will never surrender their Indus trial rights and liberties."

Los Angeles Busdaess Men Convert ed Darrow Convinced He Is Maklnjr Good Bargain. ' LOS ANGELES. Dec. 1. That a new theory of "Christianity In polities." as It was understood by Los Angeles business men, settled the McNamara trial was asserted here today by Lin coln Steffens. a magazine writer. Btef fena claims to have developed and ap plied the theory himself and to have converted Los Angeles to bis way of thinking. Steffens says that he borrowed his -golden rule" Idea from Toledo, Ohio, In the end. he says, the great Influ ences behind the business and political life of California accepted It. Steffens brought to Los Angeles, be said tonight, an Idea that the system of government which he believes to have prevailed In Toledo under the late Mayor "Golden Rule" Jones and Mayor Brand tVhltlock. owed . whatever good It maintained to the principle of the so-called golden rule. impressed with this Idea, he asked T. E. Gibbon, an attorney and former pule Usher, about applying It to Los An- ""Labor Is licked here." Steffens said he told Gibbon In substance. "What are you going to do about It? Keep fight ing? Keep It licked? The only peace you will get here will come from the golden rule, and that applies to the McNamara case." Steffens says that he preached the "simple doctrine of reconciliation." Af ter that other men. Including Attorney Darrow, were seen. It came to be be lieved by those who saw Darrow that, facing the great fight with, what odds he saw against htm. he would be glad to arrange for his clients the terms made today, as being better than they might get under any other clrcum; stances. l-XIOX MAX OPPOSES LEXITY McXamaraa Declared Guilty or Deal . ing Blow at Labor. Protesting against the granting of leniency to either of the McNamaras. , t mfli..itn member of the Brick layers' Union, last night called at The Oregonlan office and requested publica tion Of the following as me virw i . union man: "Will you permit me as a union man of long standing to say a few wore regarding the McNamara brothers and the outcome of the case as It Is re garded by all right-thinking union men?- By their own confession the McNamaras are guilty of one of the most cowardly and dastardly crimes In the history of our country. "We realize that the unthinking and prejudiced public will In a great meas ure blame unionism and the unions for the crimes these men have committed. The unions and the union men. Judging from what I think and have heard among other union men In their con versations regarding the case, have considered these men not guilty. At the same time we gave them our moral and financial support, believing them to be the victims of a gigantic con spiracy on the part of capital and the "open shop" Interests to discredit trades unionism. "But now that they have confessed their heinous crimes, are now looking to Judge Bordwell for leniency, stand convicted by their own word not only of crimes charged against them but morally convicted of administering to organized labor the hardest slap It has ever received, not only to the mem bers themselves but to the wives ana babies of the members of organized labor. I. for one. wish as a union man with, I think, the best of union princi ples In view and In Justice to all con cerned, to put In a good square kick against these anarchists and murder ers receiving any leniency." T RUSE " IS OUT IX ARREST OF DYNAMITERS PO LICE ARE DECEIVED. Kit of Tools Described as Burglar's When Men Were Hustled to Los Angeles by Detective. DETROIT, Dec. 1. When James B. McNamara and Ortie E. McManigal were arrested here on the morning of April 12, last, the public gatned no knowledge of the charges that were held against the prisoners and even the Detroit police who, assisted the Chi cago detectives In making the arrest, were kept in the dark. The two prisoners were hurriedly taken to Chicago, within a few hours, and It waa not until April 23 that the story of their connection with the de struction of the Los Angeles Times building was made public In Chicago. When they were taken from Detroit they were supposed to be notorious safe-breakers, possessing the most re markable kit of toola ever seen by de tectives. They were registered as Orrie McManlgar. 22. and Frank Sulli van, 27. both of Chicago. Reports gained circulation that they had been captured upon" the eve of In itiating a campaign of safe-breaking here and that they had Just finished such a campaign In Chicago. It was even hinted that they had designs against the new $2,000,000 Michigan Central tunnel under the Detroit River, but this rumor was scouted by Michi gan Central officials. The unique burglar kit that attracted so much attention at the time of the arrest was listed In the newspapers as follows: Five storage batteries, two magazine revolvers, on short rifle with Maxim muffler, two time clocks suita ble for attaching to safes, one kodak, rolls of copper wire and bandages, wires with fuses attached, dry cell batteries, book of information about principal cities. Insulation tape, burg lars' tools of all descriptions, Instru ments for safe-breaking and a supply of cartridges. UNIONS RESENT CONDUCT 3. W. Kline Points Out Help That Labor Has Turned to Prisoners. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. "By holding off for so long I consider the McNamaras have done labor unionism a great In justice." said J. W.

BETTER ELEMENT TO RULE Nine-tenths of Organized Labor Out of Sympathy With Course Pur ' sued by Dynamiters, Com ments Detective. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. "I consider the outcome a great personal vindication for me." said William J. Burns here today, when told of the sensational' de velopments In the McNamara case at Los Angeles. t "Especially," he added, "after men oc cupying such exalted positions as Sam uel Gompers and ' others have repeat edly charged me with 'planting1 the dy namite at Los Angeles. Following them, every Socialist paper In the country and every labor paper have so often printed stories of frame-ups' In the case that some good people were beginning to think that the prosecution was "not on the square.' "I had absolutely no personal feeling against cither defendant. I was em ployed by the Mayor of Los Angeles to Investigate this case. My sole purpose was to make a thorough Inquiry. The evidence has been Just what I said It was overwhelming." Kar-Heerhlag Effect Seen. After ' Mr. Burns had read of the action In court he said: The effect of this will be far reach ing. I think the outcome of the Mc Namara case will result in summary action by the body of organized labor by which the radical element the ele ment which Is allied with anarchists will be suppressed. It will result. I believe. In ending such outrages as the' one at Los Angeles. "Such men as John Mitchell will control the policies of organized labor In the future. Nine-tenths of the total membership of the labor body in this country; were absolutely out of sympathy with and opposed to the course, of action pursued by the Mc Namara brothers. "No longer will the heads and dele gates of labor unions, disregarding the rank and file, use their power regard less of the 'nest interests of the unions and the people at large, to further selfish,' personal ends. Other Arrests Predicted. "The plea of guilty entered by the McNamara brothers today does not close up the case. In my opinion. It merely means that the case is ended so far as the McNamaras are concerned. There are others Involved who may be arrested at any time. - "I have absolute information that radicals in the labor movement were willing to do anything to save the Mc Namara brothers. This is what At. torney Darrow was concerned about when he said he "feared further bloodshed unless we obliterated the In cident from Los Angeles at once.' "I was not surprised, particularly when told that the McNamaras had pleaded guilty. Absolutely, there was no 'out' for either of them. VTe had secured evidence' which positively closed every avenue of escape and they knew it. ! . .. Llgkt Sentence Opposed. ; "However, If the reports' that J. J. McNamara Is to get off with a light sentence are true, I shall be greatly disappointed. He. deserves a heavy punishment if any one ever did."
