The fight lor the "open shop' in Los Angeles had been championed by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Assoviation, and General Otis had committed his newspapers to the samo cause, - A local ordinary against pic keting by labor unions had brought arrest and conflict between union and non-union werkas and much class bitterness. : Mayar® Alexander, of Los Angeles, took the lead in seeking the perpetra tors of the Times explosion, and as the Past move sought the Services of William J. Burns, who was then on his way to that diy to attend the annual meeting of the American Ban- kers' Association. Mr. Burns acoept- ed and summoned his detectives, who had been 'employed in the Peoria, Muncie and Indianapolis investija- tons. They found a straight train #etween the outrages in California and in Indians and Hines.

Me- Namara was a brother of whe secre tary-treasurer of. the iranworkers, and Burns felt that at last he was near the end of his long trail. McManigle and the McNamaras were trailed for many months.

McManigle and James B.

McManigle once was lost to his pur- suers for twelve days. He told Mr. Btirns in his eonfession that /he went to Los Angeles then to blow up the auxiliary plant of the limes, but found it so carefully guarded that be gave up that enterprise. Just to have something to his criminal ediployers for his fences he blew up the Llewellyn Iron orks and returfied to Chicago. It was determined after McManigle Tonbpoas. ed to arnest him and.

They registered at a hotel, argued with the clerk, who had no rooms for, them at that moment, checked their suit cases, and started away. They became separated im the crowds in the lobby and were arrest ed separately. In their sujt cases. they had Jeft their ravolvers and a rifle filled with a Maxim. silencer and six clock and battery bombs of the Los Angeles and Peoria type. The 'Hetectives told these prisoners they were wanted for blowing a | safe in Chicago and thus emsily induced them to waive extradition. Un the way, howeter, MoNmuara said he believed he was wanted for a Los Angeles "job," and Mr. Burns sand later that McNamara offeved $20,000 and finally $30,000 to be permitted to escape. McNamara on the train tried to justify his actions, Mr. Burns said, declaring that they had been done to further the cause of umion labor, and said : "I'd blow the whole damn country up if I thought it would get us our rights." show €Xx- McManigle Confesses, Mr. Burne went over his evidence agaist MeManigle avith the labter and at fast indueud the dimamiter to oh J.

Ne Namiaira as a store house for "re cords.' of his gflice. In the barn Mr Burns opened with keys taken frgm James McNamara in Detroit, a piano box. In it were forty pounds of dyma- mite and a tin of mitroglycerine, Mr. Burns then rushed back to Me Namara's oflices in Indianapolis and in the council room of the execufive committee of the structural irom work- ers found a safé which the other un ion' officials said they eould not open. It was forced open amd the books taken. In the bgsement the' union had a vault where Mr. Burns and the police with him found eighty ponmtis of dy- namite and fourteen little alarm clocks, just like those used to make the Los Anyeles and Pegria bombs, together with duplicates of all the little metal connections of clocks, bat: teries and explotves in those bombs.
