LABOR LEADERS WERE CONVICTED

Thirty-Eight Are Found Guilty of Dynamite Conspiracies—Cases Are to Be Appealed. Thirty-eight men, all members and most of them officials of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, were found guilty?>at Indianapolis last week of conspiracy in the dynamiting of a number of bridges and buildings that were being erected by non-union mechanics. The worst of the “jobs” was the blowing up of the Los Angeles Times building, which resulted in the killing of 22 persons. The convictions were the result of a long trial in which Charles W. Miller, district attorney of the United States, vigorously prosecuted the gang that were responsible for the “reign of tenpor.” The leading counsel for the defense was none other than Senator? John W. Kern, of Indiana, who rerpained away from his official duties at Washington during the entire month of December in order to defend the worst organized law violators the United States has ever known. Mr. Kern has been in Washington for a few days since he delivered his .closing plea for the dynamiters and he is quoted by a correspondent as having said that the cases would be appealed. He also says that he does not expect to continue as counsel, owing to the pressing requirements of his office. This is a tardy discovery that his services were needed. Congress convened on Dec. Ist and his salary dates from that time. He has no moral right to accept the salary, and in this age of quickened public conscience he should refuse to draw it, but we have no doubt that Johnny W. will be right on hand with an itching palm when payday arrives.

Mysterious Meeting of Two Congressmen in Hammond.

Lake County Times. Considerable speculation was caused in Gary by the presence of Congressman John A. Maguire, of Lincoln, Neb., William Jennings Bryan’s home district, and Con-gressman-elect John B. Peterson, of Crown Point. Mr. Peterson was called up from Crown Point to confer with the Nebraska statesman. They met just before noon Saturday at the law offices of Hodges and Ridgley. Mr. Ridgely, who married Congressman Maguire’s sister, acted as master of ceremonies. By reason of his representing Mr. Bryan’s district Mr. Maguire has considerable influence at Washington, and it is thought by many that the local congressman-elect is enlisting his services to help him provide jobs at Washington for the big horde of applicants from this district. Neither of the congressmen would give out the purport of their visit. “I shall be glad to break Congressman Peterson into the ways of Washington,” was all that the Nebraska member of the house would say.
