Company: Frederick E. Atteaux. ana
Dennis J. Collins are on trial. Tne oe
fendants are charged specifically with
conspiracy to "plant" dynamite a
I.awrence at. the time of the textile
strike of 1911.
Collins testified aa a witness for
the prosecution and confessed a part In
the alleged plot, though insisting- that
he was unaware at the time that he
was handling dynamite. He admitted
that he expected not to receive a Jail
sentence if he told the truth on the
stand. The defense will contend that
neither Wood nor Atteaux had any
connection with the conspiracy.
Woo Mestlosed CaJitimllT.
Collins told of distributing dyna
mite at different buildings occupied by
striking- textile operatives at Lawrence,
but made only a casual reference to
Wood and did not mention Atteaux

John J. Breen. who was a member of
the Lawrence school board at the time,
he carried a package of dynamite from
Boston to Lawrence and at Breen's di
rection distributed smaller packages
of the explosive at various places
where the strikers congregated. Breen
has been convicted and fined lor ac
tuailv "planting" the dynamite.
The reference to Mr. Wood came

versation between Breen and himself

told Mm, he said, that he would know
the Joke later.
Collins said Breen paid him 115 and
promised him- more. As the witness
was leaving Lawrence, Breen's parting
words to him were: "Mum la the
word."
The word "dynamite" wa not men
tioned by Breen, Collins said, the eon
tents of the packages being referred to
as "Juice."
On the day that Breen'e trial benan

Harry StJres, Win.
The suit of Harry Stires apainst Po
lice Sergeant Harms and Patrolman
Sherwood to collect J25. 000 as damages
for having been arrested in a raid on
the Idora Hotel last Fall was deter
mined In favor of the defendants and
the surety companies furnishing their
bonds In Circuit Judge Gatens" court
yesterday. The Judge was about to
Instruct a verdict for the defendants,
when Attorney Jeffrey, for the plain
tiff, anticipating the Judge's action, of.
fered to take a voluntary non-suit,
which-would give the plaintiff the
right to come Into court with a new
complaint.
Lawyers for the policemen and the
surety corporations resisted this, con
tending that a voluntary non-suit can
not be taken after a plaintiff has in
troduced testimony. Judge Gatens has
taken the Question under advisement
till Friday. The complaint originally
named several other policemen as de
fendants, but Judge Gatens allowed
non-suits as to them during the prog
ress of the trial.

Exemption of Farmers and Labor
Unions Declared to Condone
Acts of Lawlessness.
DETROIT, May 20. Practically all
of today's sessions of the xsationai
Manufacturers' Association was taken
uo with discussion of labor organlza
tions and the labor situation in general.
The discussion culminated this after
noon in the sending to President Wll
son of resolutions protesting against the
sundry civil appropriation bill and urg-
insr the chief executive to veto it De
cause of the provision against using
Its funds for the prosecution of labor
organizations under the Sherman act
In case such action Is instituted. They
say:
"The morale of the proviso prevent
ing the use of public funds specifically
appropriated to enforce the Sherman
act for the prosecution of labor and
agricultural combinations violating
that statute, In the public mind and
among these exempted classes. Is to
condone the acts which the law has
condemned and to make the partlci
pants in strikes, boycotts and all forms
of labor disturbances believe that they
are Justified In acts of lawlessness
when done In furtherance of a dis
pute.
"It impliedly pledges the ad
ministration to similar change in
the substantive laws which would
approve and validate the most vicious
forms of the secondary Doycoti in in
terstate commerce. Including paralysis
of raiiroad communication and the
compulsory discharge of non-union men
as a means of compelling the accept
ance of the demand of the boycotting
combination.
"Making It lawful and right for one
class of citizens to do that wnicn would
remain criminal and wrong when done
by another class insults the law-abid
ing members of tne exceptea ciass.
offends the moral sense of our people
and. under the decisions or our courts,
would be likely to invalidate the act
and thus further the sinister designs
of those who would destroy the statute
Itself."
Referring: to the Industrial Workers
of the World as being supplemental to
the American Federation or Labor,
President Klrby, In his opening address
today, said:
. "Ae-alnst these forces of evlL do
