INDIANAPOLIS. Pec. 7. Funds con tributed by the International Associa tion of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers to sustain Its strike against open shop Iron and steel contractors, whicfr- was begun in 1905 and which still continues, were investigated In the cross-examination of witnesses by the Government in the dynamite con spiracy trial today.

After the Los Angeles Times building was blown up, Gallagher said he sent Eugene A. Clancy, another de fendant, to Eastern cities to solicit for the fund. Money Sen to Defense Fond. "Was any part of that strike fund used to defend the McNamaras in Los Angeles?" asked District Attorney Miller. "About $1000 was lent to the defense fund, but later it was returned,"- said Gallagher. Other witnesses had testified that when Clancy came East, after the Los Angeles explosion, he met James B. McNamara hi Chicago, when the latter was in hiding and a fugitive on charges of murder, and that Tveitmoe met John J. McNamara in a labor con vention in St. Louis and asked that other explosions be caused in Los An geles, as result of which Ortie E. McManigal caused an explosion in an iron works in Los Angeles in Decem ber, 1910. FAKE SANTAS UNDER BAN Kansas City Bars Men Masquerading in St. Jflck's Garb. KANSAS CITY, Dec 7.
