Only Two Defendants Acquitted. Indianapolis, Dec. 28. ? Amid a silence broken only by the monotonous voice of the court clerk, 88 ot the 40 union labor men, on trial since Oct. 1, today heard themselves declared guilty ot conspiracy to transport explosives illegally. DunielBuckley ,oj AJavenport, la., ana Herman Serfert, oi Milwaukee, ]were the only defendants acquitted by the jury. The verdict tore a jagged hole .in the organiz iti^n oi the lu'er iiaiional Iron Workers Union' because i-t put the principal officera of the uoiou, including Preident Frank N. Ryan, in jail. John T. Boiler, first vice president, oi Buffalo; Philip Cooley, of l New Orleans, and Michael Young of Boston, members of Ihe executive board, were other officials sent to jail as a result of the verdict. After hearing the verdict Judge Anderson adjourned court until Monday morning, at which time it is believed the convicted men will be given an opportunity to appeal from the verdict, which was denied them today. Judge Anderson refused to poll the jury for the deiense, declaring that he had done it privately and that it would take too long to do it again Marshal 8chmidt announced to the defendant* when the verdict was returned that he would give those whose wives are here an opportunity to talk and visit them the day before sentence was pronounced. The wives and relatives of the defendants stood about in corridors, some weeping silently and others hysterically. Mrs. F.J. Painter, of Omaha, was led from the courtroom in a tainting condition. In dismissing the jury Judge Anderson thanked the jurors for their "good and taithIu 1 murk." The defendants were surrounded by a half hundred deputies during the session and as they were being returned to their cells. "This will not cripple the notion for the work will be done under other officers, in case an appeal is unavailing," said Frank Ryan, after the verdict had been announced.

Under the cumulative penalty system which a federal judge may use in his discretion the maximum sentence possible for the defendants found guilty would be 39 12 years imprisonment for each man. The punishment could range down co a suspended sentence or a fine. Judge Anderson ib expectee to sentouce Ed ward Clark and Ortie Mc Maui*al Monday. OUR PENSIONS. Over Four Billion Dollars Spent Since Foundation of Government. According to our pension department we have spent for pensions, since the foundation of the government, something over $4,000,000,000. About half of this sum has been paid as the result of the civil war. Wo are paying more each year. Wifhiu the last twelve months, for example, we'have added 420.000 OOO n- nnn ? -r ^ W V v/i VUV/jWV/j" 000. (We a*e not sure of the exact amount, but a lew million | more or less do not, apparently, make much difference.) On the other hand, the pension roll has been steadily decreasing. In 1901 there were 997,735 pensioners; in 1911 there were 892,098 pensioners; on June 30 last there were 860,294 pensioners. During the past year about 33,000 have died. This brings up an interesting question. As the number of pensioners decreases, the pension fund increases. Consequently, what is going to happen wheu the number of pensioners is reduced to only one man? The prospect is alarming. The only way out of it is to get into another war as soon na possible, for by increasing the number of pensioners, we may be able to reduce the pension fund. We suggest this idea to the incoming administration. Oi course, the expense of a war is considerable, but it certainly would be a mere bagatelle compared with the growing pension list.?Lite. A Century of Peace. It is a pleasing circumstance that in this Yuletide season the thought of public leaders on both sides of the Atlantio should turn naturally and gratefully to the lone hundredth anniversary of United States and the Canadian dominion. We hope to hay* a worthy celebration of the event two years hence." A Canadian publicist declares: "Canada may well rejoice that 6he has been fortunate enough to spend the period of her national youth free from the stunting influence of war. She j >ins the United States and the Mother Country in celebrating the ninety-eighth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent, which has meant so much not only for Canada, the empire and the United States but also for the progress of civilization." Speaking in behalf of the TTnilftlt Rt.afpo .^ocroturn r\i SJ r q I ? I Knox Bays : "This anniversary serves to remind us, not of the termination of a great struggle, but of the subsequent passing of almost a century of peace and good will. In this long era of friendship, we English speaking cousins have realized and' have benefited from our kinship. Neighborly intercourse and trade have developed aud grown to colossal proportions." In the course of these hundred harmonious years, difference? have arisen between this country and England, but they have all been happily adjusted.
