SAN FRANCISCO. Deo. 16. Olaf

Stafe Building Tradea Council, and An
tone Johannsen. an organiser for that
organization, arrived in San Francisco
today from the East. Both were served
In Sacramento with subpenaa direct
ing them to appear before the Federal
grand Jury In Los Angeles.
Johannsen went Immediately to his
home In Corte Madera, where his
daughter died recently. He aald that
he would attend the funeral and then
go to Los Angeles, leaving probably to
morrow night.
Tveltmoe said that he had bualneaa
affairs that would necessitate his pres
ence here for two or three days and
that then he would go to the southern
city.
Beth men went East to attend labor
conventions before the McNamaraa con
fessed. Tveltmoe and Johannsen talked
freely and declared they had nothing to
fear from the Federal or state Inves
tigation of the relations of labor lead
ers to the dynamiting of the Times,
-We will go Into court or before any
Jury. Federal or local, and tell all we
knew about this or any other matter,
diut we know nothing that would In
the least throw any light on that sit
uation er any other In which violence
has played a part." said Tveltmoe.
"I never knew the McNamaras at all
well. I never met J. B. and. although
I had met J. J. at labor conventions and
had a high regard for him always. I
never had any social or business Inter
course with Tilra and never met htm
elsewhere. I was the most shocked
man at the convention at Atlanta, when
1 I read the confession. I always thought
they were Innocent.
Let thorn go as far aa they like."
said Johannsen. "They have nothing
on us. and I have nothing to fear. I
know nothing about Uie McNamaraa or
about anytntng else connected with
this case. I never met J. B.. but I
met J. J. In tne county Jan in ios
Angeles, and I was greatly surprised
that they were guilty. I shall be glad
to go to Los Angeles as soon as I bury
my little girl. 1 shall tell everything
I know freely and fully."
Several labor leaders. headed by
j Mayor McCarthy. Andrew Uallaaher,
