The McNamara Confession and Labor Unions
The piece argues the McNamara brothers confession will ultimately benefit labor unions and the public by discrediting violent elements within unions and upholding law. It notes radical leaders claimed a frameup, with $199,000 raised for defense, while the public welcomes the end of the lengthy trial and hopes unions purge violent motives. A new union depot is briefly noted as a later point.
