.OMIFrRS DENIES KNOWLEDGE

ing. I ahor l eader Sajs.
WASHINGTON. Jan. J. Commenting
en a statement by ex-Mayor Book
waiter, of Indianapolis, that prominent
labor officials were Informed more
than two years ago that J. J. McXa
. mara was engaged In dynamite out
rages. Hamuel Gompera. president of
the American Federation of Labor, to
ri a v said:
"No person, living or dead. ever
made snch a ststement to me. or even
save a hint that J. J. McNamara or
any one else was engaged In a dyna
mite exploit or a dynamite campaign."
As to the remsrk of Oscar Lawler
that though the labor leadera had con
.lemnvJ the McNamaraa specifically,
yet not one of them had rendered any
assistance to tha Government for the
purpose of uncovering or disclosing
the dynamiting Crimea committed. Mr.
Grmpers said that ha had no knowl
edge of any one engaged In dynamlt-
,tng, hence ha was unable to render
any assistance In the disclosure of
anyone engaged In dynamiting or any
other crime.
"I have enough other work to do."
said Mr. Oompers, "without bothering
with dynamiting.
"I know nothing of dynamiting or
anything connected with suoh work. I
. am kept very busy attending to the
administrative work cf the American
federation of Labor. There really
soeas no need of my replying to what
Mr. Bookwalter has said."
INNOCENCE IS REASSERTED
Johinnsen Ic-larc-s Labor's Skirts
Are Clean of Dynamiting Crimea.
SAN FTIANCISCO. Jan. S. "The Mc
Namara brothers were members of or
ganised labor: also they were members
et the Catholic Church. There la Just
aa mtich reason In condemning the
I'athcllc Church because of the actions
admitted by the McNamaras aa there Is
in condemning organised labor by rea
son of these actions and that la no
reason at all "
So asserted Anton Johannsen. In
dicted labor leader, who. In company
. with Olaf Tveltmoe. also Indli-ted In
connection with the Federal Govern
ment's Investigation Into the dynamite
conspiracy, returned to this city today
from Loe Angeles. Both Tveltmoe and
Johannsen reiterated their former re
pudiation of the McNamaras and they
also expressed the positive belief that
.their trial on the Federal Indictments
a 111 come to caught.
The labor leaders will bold confer
ences with the members of the Ban
Francisco labor organlxaticns. both on
the coming trial and subjects germane
only to the official status of organized
labor.
IUKXS IMPLICATES GOMPERS
Deal With Bookwalter Charted as
Evidence of Guilty Knowledge.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. S. Detective
Puma before leaving late today for
Philadelphia, openly charged ex-Mayor
Bookwalter. of this city, with negli
gence In not having prosecuted John
J. McNamara two years ago on evi
dence In bla possession. Indicating that
officials of the International Brother
hood of Structural Iron Workers bad
caused dynamite explosions bere.
Burns said the ex-Mayor dropped the
Investigation and not long afterward
was Invited to become a member of a
printing firm doing much work for Na
tional labor unions, and Samuel Gom
pera. president of the American Feder
ation of Labor. Is 'reported to have
been Interested.
Bookwalter today denied that Gom
pers at the time had been concerned

him Intimately. ot aald that partners
In the Arm were Leo M. Kappaport.
counsel fr the Internationa Aaeoela
tlon of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, and Hum Thorsch, a long
time friend of Gompera.
BookwkitT admitted that two years
I -h- hail told a score of National
Ubor leaders that be was convtnoed
of the guilt of John J. McNamara and
the Iron Workers- Union in connection
with the four explosions on property
of Albert Von Sprechkelaen. In Octo
ber. 1909.
-Whv didn't Bookwalter pursue hl
Inveatlgatlonr queried Burn, "either
as Mayor or a prtvate eltlsen. after he
rotirrd from ofuce shortly afterward?
! If he knew, as he says be did. that
John J. lie-Samara and the iron worn
ers were dynamiting property of non
union contractors. It was his duty to
nrosecute or tell the public what he
I knew. If be had done so. scores of
subsequent explosions might nave oeen
prevented."
The detective said he could not at
the time discuss the details of Book
waiter s alleged relations with Gom
pers or the printing establishment, but
said that all Information developed In
his investigation would be turned over
to the Government prosecutors. The
Federal grand Jury resumed Ita work
today.

"People who defeat the ends of Jus
tice." said Burns, "are guilty with those
who are actively engaged In a con
spiracy to violate laws."
Hugo Thorsch. partner of Book
waiter, declared that he would rive
Detective Burns free , access to the
bonks and records of the company.
"I never have had business relations
with Samuel Oompers." aald Thorsch.
"although I've obtained large printing
contracta from labor unions. It Is true
that before I came to this city from
Philadelphia several yeara ago, I edited
a labor newspaper, but that Is my only
direct personal connection with the
labor movement. Mr. Bookwalter came
Into this Arm because he wished to
engage in the business and he was a
dolrable partner."
Bookwalter In turn said his reason
for dropping the dynamiting Investi
gation was that he personally had
financed It. and when his term aa Mayor
expired he felt that his public Interest
In It was endeL
No union labor leaders, not even
Hamuel Gompera. head of the American
Federation of Labor, have lifted a hand

geles." said Oecar Lawler. special Gov
ernment prosecutor for the district of
Southern California, today. He and
John D. Fredericks, piosecutlng attor
ney for Los Angeles, conferred with
Charles W. Miller. United States Attor
ney, before the Federal grand Jury of
this district, today resumed Its Inquiry
Into the alleged country-wide dynamit
ing plot.
Mr. Lawler asserted that, though
union labor lesders were quick to de
nounce the McNamarss after their con
fession and many of them were quoted
as saying that every effort should be
made to prosecute all guilty persons,
no one hsd volunteered to get from
the McNamaraa any details of the al
leged conspiracy In which they figured.

Emmett Flood and C. G. Wilson
Must Explain Alleged Attempts to
Wreck Button Factories In
Iowa During Strike.
MUSCATINE, la.. Jan. 1 The arrest
of Emmett Flood, of Chicago, National
organiser for the American Federation
of Labor and representative of Presi
dent Gompers, on the charge of con
spiracy to destroy property with acid
bombs, was the principal development
today In the local grand jury Investi
gation which grew out of the button
workers' strike.
Flood was placed under arrest Imme
diately after his arrival here from Chi
cago, on four warrants, three of which
charged him with malicious destruc
tion of property.
City ('esarllmss Arrested.
C O. Wilson, the Forlallst member
of the City Council and fiscal agent for
the local Button-Workers' Union, which
Is on strike, was charged In two new
Indictments with conspiracy and mali
cious destruction of property. In the
former he was Jointly charged with
Flood.
Both men were released on bond, that
of Flood being fixed at 1200 and that
of Wilson at s.1000. Local union labor
men secured the sureties.
Flood apparently was expecting ar
rest, for he brought with him an at
torney. Daniel Criice, of Chicago. A
large crowd had collected at the sta
tion In anticipation of the event, but
the actual arrest did not take place
until Flood and his attorney reached
the Courthouse. He was Immediately
taken Into court and furnished bond.
Wllaoa la Released.
Wilson, who spent last night in jalL
was relessed at the same time.
The offenses for which Flood and
Wilson are held are alleged to have
been committed laet Spring, early In
the present button-workers' strike. It
Is charged that the two men conspired
with other labor men to destroy but
ton factory property and to create a
reign of terror in Muscatine. Both de
fendants will remain here for their
preliminary hearing, which has been
set for Friday.
M CHIEFS IN OFFICE
DIMICK APPOINTS BURNS, BET
COCNCTL WON'T APPROVE. .
Shaw, Present Police Head, to Hold
Fort, but Appointee Will Try
to Assume Control.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Jan. 3. (Spe
cial.) Oregon City will have two men
acting as chief of police tomorrow,
each Insisting that he is ths rightful
holder of the office and defying the
other to exerclso his authority. Grant
B. Dlmlck, recently elected Mayor, to
night at the first Council meeting
since he took office, appointed Charles
E. Burns chief of police. The Council,
by a vote of S to 1. refused to con
firm the appointment and contended
that the administration of E. L Shaw,
for the last year at the head of the
Oregon City police department, had
been efficient and that he should be
retained In office.
For many yeara Burns had been chief
of police until a year ago when he was
let out through a change of adminis
tration, and fihaw, who was a night
policeman, appointed in his place. The
eight who defied Mayor Dlmlck tonight
declare that Shaw Is the best chief Ore
gon City has ever had, and say that
Burns was not aa good.
When the meeting was called Mayor
Dlmlck expected the opposition of the
Council, and in making the appoint
ment, said he did not want to be vin
dictive, but that Buras had always
been a good chief and that It bad been
wrong to let Burns out a year ago.
He also took occasion to praise the
work of Shaw.
He had no sooner finished appoint
ing Burns before Councilman Holman
protested. Mayor Dlmlck flushed, and
aald:
"I shall continue appointing Burns
from day to day and week to week and
month to month If that be necessary."
Discussion from that point on was
heated and personal.
Mayor Dlmlck concluded by Insisting
that he would reappoint Burns tomor
row morning and tell him to go to
work. Burns says ha will follow the
Mayor's Instructions to the letter, but
Shaw says he will hold on.
The Oregon City charter en this
point Is not exactly plain, some attor
neys saying that the Mayor has abso
lute authority and others that his ap
pointments are subject to approval by
the Council. The charter says: "The
appointment of the chief of police shall
be approved by a majority of the City
Council."
The Council also refused to confirm
the appointment of John Green as su
perintendent of streets, and postpone,
action for one week on the appoint
ment of Henry Meldrum as city en
gineer. The appointment of Llvy Stlps
as city recorder and of George L. Story
as dty attorney, both now holding of
fce, were confirmed by the Council.
