"The McNamaras." continued Mr. Drew, "were merely tools of a coterie of men who attempted by force to coerce builders of structural steel and brldgea Into maintaining a closed shop and as hirelings they had no Interests whatever In commlttinir murder and blowing up property further than to so do their work as to draw their pay. $3000 Fund Raised Here for McNamaras Regarded as Gone for Good. "Their crimes are nominal compared to those -committed by the men who Labor Leader Says Movement sent them to do these jobs and who paid them for murdering men and de stroying buildings and bridges with hlgb explosives. These are the men we want and I believe that when the Initel States grand Jury again assem bles In Indianapolis events will tran spire which will make the confession of the McNamaras puny by compari son."

After reflecting- for Si bours over the enaational confeaalona of the Me- Naiurii at Lot Ang-elea, member of orranlied labor In Portland have decld J to vaih their hands of the se'f-eon feseed dynamiters. There Is no dispo sition on the part of local trades union Ists either to repudiate officially the McNamara brothers, or to ask for an aocountlns; or the return of any part of the unexpended balance of approxl raately MOOS that was forwarded by the various labor unions of this city for the defense of the accused men. If any official repudiation of the M'-Nsroartt takes place In these same circles. It must be Initiated by the Portland local of the Structural Iron Workers, of which one of the brothers, John J., was International secretary. Officials of the local organization dis claim any intention of taking that ac tion. "Now that the reported confessions of the McNamara brothers have been positively confirmed. said Will H. Daly, president of both the Oregon State Federation of Labor and the Cen tral Labor Council, of this elty. yester day, "bona fide members of organized labor have decided to wash their hands of the case of the self-confessed dy namiters. By their confessions they have stamped themselves as criminals and pronounced enemies of the cause of trades unionists. Organized labor takes the position that tt now remains for them to bo dealt with as criminals and Insists that the law shall take Its course. I Dresi rata. Tnless the local organization of structural Iron workers takes the In itiative and roes on record as officially repudiating the two McNamaras. or ganized labor of Portland, as It Is rep resented by the Central Labor Council, will probably not take that action. Kor the same reason those labor organiza tions that contributed to the fund for the defense of the men who have ad mitted their guilt In the Los Angeles dynamiting cases will not make any de mand for an explanation of what was done with their subscriptions, neither will they ask that any unexpended por tion of thflr donations be refunded. "The money was contributed In good faltb when we believed the men were the victims of a conspiracy and when we had every reason to believe In their professed Innocence. Now that tbey have admitted their guilt, we have no desire to have anything fur ther to do with the case and we shall expect the law to take Ita course against them In the same manner as we expect It to In the case of all crimi nals." Greater consternation was not found yesterday In any of the labor organisa tions than among the members of the Structural Iron Workers local organi sation. Even by that time, the mem I ers of trls organization, which con tributed liberally to the McNamara de fense fund, seemed unable fully to realize the gravity of the situation nor to accept as real the confessions of the McNamaras. This was particularly true of Dan Conley. business aa-ent for the Iron workers, who declined either to dis cuss the case and Its sudden termina tion, or to predict the probable action. If any. of the local organization at Its regular meeting next Tuesday night. Conley was Inclined to the opinion that the members of his organization, to tether with other trades unionists of Portland, would simply drop the case of the McNamaras as a closed Incident. ("(Males railed Tralterewa. Local labor leaders say that, accord ing to a recent report of Samuel Oom pers. president of the American Fed eration of Labor, the total fund sub scribed by members of organized labor for the defense of the McNamaras was shout 500. 000. of that sum probably llouO was contributed by the labor unions of this city, either direct or through their International organiza tion. In addition to this amount, sev eral hundred dollars were raised In Portland for the same purpose through the activities of the Socialists, who sold buttons and ribbons, bearing the likenesses of the McNamara brothers, and at the same time gave dances and entertainments aa a further means of swelling their contributions.

This was the angry exclamation of Samuel Gompers tonight on his return from Troy, when a dispatch from Spo kane saying the Central Labor Coun cil of that city is planning a country' wld movement to obtain the maxi mum punishment for the Los Angeles dynamiters was shown to mm. "I do not believe In capital punish- mMit under any circumstances," he con tlnued. "I don't believe the state has a right to take human life. This Is a very unwise movement. I am against It. It Is like the populace In tne Koman arena demanding, with Its thumbs down, that the victorious gladiator plunKe the sword into his victim. I don't believe In 'thumbs down' for these or any other men. . "What punishment do you think should be meted out to them?" the labor leader was asked. "Suppose we let the Judge decide that.

"Let them go ahead; let them go as far as they like," he said. "If there are other men above or below In this case the Federal Investigation ought to disclose them. Let the Federal in vestigation go on. If there Is anybody behind these men their Identity ought to be known. Personally, I cannot con ceive where they got their money to perpetrate their outrages. I cannot dream who was behind them." "It has been said that the McNamaras pleaded guilty to protect other per sons," Mr. Gompers was told. "I don't know anything about that. I have received no communication from Los Angeles since the Joint telegram from the McNamaras thanking me for the support of the American Federation of Labor. If there Is anybody that needs to be protected, I don't know of It."' Mr. Gompers expected to remain bers until Monday night, and then to leave for Washington. SPOKANE. Dec. 2.
