Capital versus labor is the Issue that will fairly determine the trlala of John J. and James B. McNamara, despite utterances io the contrary by eounsel for both Bides. In tbe murder trial growing out of tbe demolition of tha Times building last October. Judge Bordwell'a ruling at tha opening of the trial that- both eldea were within their legal rights In de termining the attitude of venireman toward tbe labor question means tba widest latitude In tha examination of prospective Jurors. It may be tnree months before a Jury la se lected. Today. Columbus Dav. belne a legal holiday, no sessions of the court were held. Counsel for both sides spent the day In developing the affiliations of the men remaining la the initial venire. The case against James B. Me. Namara was taken up first District Attorney John D. Fred ericks, for the prosecution, elected to try him for the murder of Charles J. Haggerty, a machinist who. with io other men met death in an explo sion and fire which wrecked the Los Angeles Times building October 1. 1910.

The prosecution contends that thla explosion was caused by dynamite; the defense that it waa caused by gas.

I'pon it counsel for the de fense, headed by Attorney Clarence S. Harrow, of Chlraen. In oneotlnna to the Jury and arguments to Judge Bordwelt. sought to depict a mighty contest between organized labor and Its opponents, without much onnnal- tion from tbe prosecution. Attorney Lecomtite Davis, examin ing Jurors, headed straight for this point. "Are you aware that there t a bitter warfare between capital and) labor." he asked Z. T. Nelson, th first venireman examined. "Ves," said Nelson. "And that most men bava taken sides?" Ye.- "Have you the onlnlon that labor unions as thev exist are tirnner. or that they are Inimical and a menace?" To this the croseeutlon ntiWint because "counsel Is asking the opin ion of the witness on evidence that may arise during the trial "He mar answer." said SuAwm Rordwell. and Nelson said be was "not prejudiced." Further Questions were met hr the awertion from Attorney W. J. Ford. of the prosecution, that "this la not a union lanor trial. . "Do you take the Loa Anaelea Times, and do you read tbe weekly face devoted to animadversions on labor?" were other questions put. Nelson waa atill b ln Questioned when court adjourned.
