Scant sympathy is expressed bv Port

dynamiters, against whom a verdict was
returned this morning. - In each case,
the local men declared that such msth.

. William Daly,, president of the State

sympathy with that line of business.
Our greatest successes have been along
peaceful and lawful lines. I don't be
lieve any permanent benefit can ever re
sult from premeditated violence. (
Believe Jn Peaceful Methods.
The guilty men may be miseulded

E. J. Stack, secretary nf tfi Rlats
Federation of Labor.said; "The sooner
the labor ranks are cleared of such
people the better it will bo for labor. At
first we- believed that these men were
the victims of the Bums agency, but
when the McNaniaras confessed we felt
different and are glad these men are

no reason to believe but what these men

Ho Sympathy for Sack Men.
"I have no sympathy for such men or
such business except the humane sym

A. H. Harris, editor of the Laftor
Press: "The verdict of the Jury at In
dianapolis will prove a great surprise
to the common people of the United
States. Organized labor, accustomed to
struggles for the rightsof men, will not
be, daunted nor discouraged. Men are
human, intensely so when In touch with
the real conditions which menace labor
In all its efforts for better things. Men
In the labor movement realize that to
err is human, but mistakes, if they do
occur, either at the hands of union men
or or courts, will not deter men of heart
and brain from standing true to the real
purposes of organization among workers
for better homes and for nobler lives."

B. 8. Duncsn, superintendent of Yam

horsepower which will propel! her at
a guaranteed speed of It miles an hour.
