THIRTY-EIGHT GUILTY
IN DYNAMITE CASES
CONVICTION SECURED ON EVERY
INDICTMENT.
Tragic Scene in Court Room at Couclusion
of Trial?President Ryan
Among Convicted.
#
Indiauapolis, Dec. 28.?The United
States government with stern and decisive
swiftness, today took into its
Ai'nr iminn 1Q hflt" rtf
posstssoiun urn uiiivii iuw.^. wfieials
convicted of conspiracy, of promoting
explosions on non-union work
throughout the land, of aiding in the
destruction which brought loss of life
at Los Angeles, Cal., and of carrying
on a "reign of terror" declared to be
unparalled in the history of the country.
Almost the entire executive staff of
the International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers was convicted.
Only two officials of that union
now remain out of jail. At th$
r>k Thp lkf. of these convicted
stands Frank M. Ryan, uie president.
It* was of this union, with twelve
thousand members, that John J. 31cKamara
was secretary treasurer while
he conducted the dynamitings out of
which the present convictions grew.
Today's convictions, coming on a
scale unprecedented in a federal court,
were an aftermath of the killing of
21. persons in the blowing up of the
I^os Angeles Times building on October
1, 1910. McXamara and his
brother, James, the Times dynamiter
are convicts in California; Ryan and
his fellow officials, former associates
of McNamara are federal prisoners
here awaiting sentence.
Two of those convicted were not affiliated
with the iron workers union,
but they were found guilty of joining
with the iron workers in promoting the
conspiracy.
One of these is Olaf A. Tveitmoe,
San Francisco, a recognized labpr leader
on the Pacific coast, the testimony
against whom was that he aided in
causing explosions at Los Angeles,
wrote letters about them and referred
to them as "Christmas presents," after
the fatal Times explosion and that he
aided in concealing evidence wanted in
California. He is secretary of the California
building trades council.
Hiram R. Kline, Muncie, Ind., the
other member of another union convicted,
was formerly an organizer for
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners in Detroit.
Another token of the Las Angeles
explosion came in the conviction of
J. E. Munsey, who was charged by the
? ^ -ix-ith >i?rhori<ne: James B.
gu V CI LALLL^LH, niw
McXamara for two weeks in Salt Lake
City, while tliat dynamiter was fleeing
from the scene of his crime. Many
of those convicted were charged with
knowing only of local explosions on
the works oi contractors who refused
to recognize the union, but were thus
brought into the general conspiracy.
Ryan, John T. Butler, vice president of
the union, Buffalo; Euj|. A. Olancey,
.San Francisco; Frank C. Webb, New
York; Michael J. Young, Boston; Philip
* rwkbv Vp-w Orleans: Henry W.
ny A. VUVivj | v .. r
Leglitner, Denver, and Chas. N. Beum,
Minneapolis, were all convicted as
having appropriated cut of the unioj
funds $>i,000 a month with which McXamara
paid for explosions.
Herbert S. Hockin, who resigned as
Secretary of the union only a few
weeks ago and who was branded as
the "iago of the conspiracy," in having
helped to instigate the plots and
employing Ortie E. McManiga! to carry
them out, while afterwards "betraying
his fellow conspirators" to
promote his own interests, stands
among the most prominent of those
convicted. He figured almost daily in
the testimony.
Sixteen minutes was all the time required
by the court to receive the jury,
read its verdict of "thirty-eight guilty
and two not guilty" and dismiss the
jurors. That verdict brought to an
end the historic three months "dynamite
conspiracy" trial. It meant except
in the cases of Herman G. Sief
fert, Milwaukee, and Daniel BucKiey,
Davenport, Iowa, who were the two
men out of forty to be adjudged "not
guilty" that the government's charges
about dynamite plots extending over
six years had been sustained.
It meant also that thirty wives, many
of whom with their children patiently
had set through the long drawn out
ordeal, were ut last to be separated
from their husbands.
Important details yet remain in
consequence of the verdicts.
Punishments are to be imposed upon
the thirty-eight men by Federal
Judge Anderson on Monday at 10 a. m.
Prisoners who receive terms longer
than one year are to be taken to the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. A
special train will go by a secret route.
Details as to its time of leaving Indianapolis
and its arrival at Leavenworth
are not to "be made public. It
was learned that United Slates Marshal
Edward Schmidt, who will ac-,
company the prisoners, already has
( prepared tor a special train, which will
j leave as soon as possible after the
! sentences. A delay in the arrange
: ments may be occasioned by appeals
; which' may act as stays on the execu'
tion of the court's judgment.
;
Thirty-nine and one-half years is
, the maximum punishment for any one,
j prisoner. It may vary from that
| maximum to any shorter imprisonment
i .
j or money fine the court may wish to 1
1 impose.

EVIDENCE IN MILEAGE CASE. j

j !
j Charleston, Dec. 2~.?After a delay j
S of more than three hours to allow At- |
torney General Lyon to arrive here today
to represent the railroad commis- ;
sion at the hearing on the mileage
books regulations and rules, the inter-1
; state commission, represented by W.
A. Ryan and H. Elder, special examii
. i
! ners in the absence of Commissioner
'Lane, who was to hear the case, but j
' \va-< unable to co.me to Charleston,
I * ?
gave a hearing on questions involved
.ouay, but it wili probably be some
! days before the commission will re- j
| view the testimony and make known :
j its decision.
The hearing is of much importance
1 to the railroads of the southeastern
I territory, affecting 79 railroads and i.
the hardest kind of a fight is being j
| made to sustain the contention of the!
roads and prevent an extension of the
present movement.
* * * u ^^ T'nifpH
1116 Hearing was iiciu m
j States court room and the room was
crowded with lawyers and traveling
i men who have special interest in the
I case. South Carolina was the only
. State wrhich /was officially represented
at the hearing for it appears to he
only in this State that the pending
questions about the hooks have been
raised.
In a nutshell the proposition hinges
on whether or not the system of handling
mileage books as employed by
the railroads is a burden to interstate
; commerce amd whether or not there is
I discrimination in these regulations,
j The recent act of this State, making it
] obligatory for lines in this State to pull
mileage on trains on intrastate trips,
came in for elaborate discussion and
also the inconvenience to the traveling
| public as urged by Mr. Schirmer, secretary
of a traveling men's organization,
of having an exchange mileage!
for tickets on making trips, interstate
in their character.
The Specific Case.
The specific case that opened' the
hearing was the necessity that Mr.
Schirmer faced on a trip from Charleston
to Washington of having to pay
i the cash fare between here and Flori
ence, because he did not have time to!
get his mileage exchanged at Charles- |
ton for a ticket to Washington, and j
having to make the exchange of mile- j
' #1 x 17*1 ,r\ r*ci r\r\ fn !
age for a ucKei uum r wi w,
Washington.
The railroads affected are represented
by leading counsel and officials, and
\
the interest is keen, the main proposition
being the mileage exchange regulations.
The railroads argue vigorously
for the necessity of this rule, on
several grounds, while the railroad
commission of this State argue that
the intrastate books issued for South
: Carolina should, in some way be made
| good for trips beyond the State lines,
and there is also the contention ad-i
vanced toy users of mileage books of
the interstate type that they should be
available on trains, doing away with
the necessity of having to exchange
mileage for tickets at railroad stations,
on the ground that this is a burden to
the traveling public in general and that
one of the former conveniences of
mileage books was the ability to present
them to conductors in payment!
I for fare. The examiner will take all1
! tpctimnnv available here on the ques-:
I tions at issue and also make up a file
of all documentary evidence in arriv- ;
ing at a ruling on the mileage book'
system. . i

If all who hate would love us, and all
our loves were true
The scars that shine above us would

If cruel words were kisses and every
scowl a smile,
A better world than this is, would hard- j
ly be worth while.

If wampum belts would untighten to i
meet a brother's need,
The load we bear would lighten above j
the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle, and j
those who languish laugh; j
The rose would rout the thistle and the j
grain out run the chaff.
If hearts were only jolly, if grievings}
were forgot,
And tears and melancholy were things
that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty and all
the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty, a dream with- j
in a dreata. ,
If men would cease to worry and women !
cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury whatever had to j
die;
If neighbor spoke t? neighbor as love
demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber, the spear
stay on the wall.
Then every day would glisten and every
?rrviiM chine I.

And the Great Spirit would stop to lis- j
ten. and life would be divine. !
