where evidence could be secured and where the
witnesses could be met by the defendant, face
to face. The trial resulted in acquittal, with
but two negative votes in meeting of 800
members.
Had the charges against Mr.. Smith not been
susceptible of proof, and had the executive
council not been fully conscious of that fact,
the published statements constituted criminal
libel, and the criminal courts of Pennsylvania
are open six days a week. But President
Lynch and Secretary Bramwood knew that,
going into the criminal court, the defence
would have had the privilege of summoning
witnesses and requiring them to testify under
oath-a tribunal they did not fit to seek.
We demand for ourselves only that which
the infamous criminal is accorded fair trial
before an unprejudiced court and jury-and
we further demand that the law of our land be
observed, namely, that we be not tried twice
for the same offence, and that a fair vedrict OF
acquittal be the end OF any and all proceedings
We protest against having the cards of our
fellow unionists jeopardized because of any
offences we may commit and we further pro-
test against the idea that fellow craftsmen shall
be vicariously sacrificed in order to satisfy the
vengeance of men made drunk with fancied
power and dazed with elevation to office by
efforts of men now gagged and bound and
made powerless through the votes of men who
profit more than any other men by the boast
ed liberty of our press.
We disclaim any intent part to use
our papers to further personal or selfish ends !;
but we do claim the privilege of being put up
on the stand to testify to the intent of any
language we may use, holding that in law we
are the most competent witnesses upon that
point. The idea that accusers shall also be
Judges and jurors is so utterly wrong and fall
1acious that surprised and panied that
union printers should deprive member of his
card upon verdict rendered under such con-
ditions.
We regret the Incorporate and unwse Ian
guage of President Lynch in referring to labor
editors as vipers,' and we demand that he be
tried upon the charge of maligning fellow
craftsmen. many of whom carried union cards
before he arrived at manhood's estate, and
many years, apparently. before he arrived at
the age of discretion We charge that when
President James M. Lynch declared before
The wageworker., 1905-08-25

the convention that the labor press was seek
ing to discredt the eight-hour movement, he
was guilty of an act unworthy of any union
man, and an act inmeasurably more heinous
than any charge of language made by Shelby
Smith against the executive council. We
charge this for the reason that labor editors
are not salaried representatives of our union,
and are not benefcaries of dues and assess
ments placed upon the membership at large.
We here and now declare our unalterable
purpose to defend our rights, not only as union
men, but as editors OF labor papers, and at no
time and under no circumstances will SUBJ
init to the gag. AS long as life is given us and
permitted to act in editorial ca
pacity will stand upon our rights as guar
anteed to under our constitution and bill of
rights, and we defy any man or set OF men to
apply the gag to us.
The so-called Smith case embraces more
than Shelby Snaith-it embraces every man
who dares to think for himself and according to
his own best Judgment. If Shelby Smith can
be expelled from our union for exercising the
right of free speech, then also may any or all
of us; and this being the case, what becomes
of our boasted free press and what assurances
have we that cards shall not be taken
from us at the whim or caprice OF men who
may imagine themselves aggrieved?
When the officers of our union become so
exalted that they are above criticism, when
members of our organization, benehclar1es OF
d 1IcS press, Seek IC1uSC OSAAAAA0 So6 "a"
when union printers card in endangered if
he speaks freely and fully, when these things
come to pass, then is unionisn1 tottering to its
fall and fraternity and mutual interests only a
memory.
In conclusion we, and each of us, hereby
declare that no gag law shall rule us, and IT
the ak falls upon one, then shall all OF our
necks go to the block to satisfy the vengeance
of individuals who dare not face in open
court upon the issues drawn and in conformity
with law and established custom.

(The following proclamation was issued at
Toronto by the undersigned labor editors on
August II, 1869
To the Delegates and Members of the Inter-
national Typographical Union, and to all
Members of Trades Unions Everywhere:
For the first time in the history of trades
unionism gag has been placed upon the press,
the written constitution of the United States
and the unwritten constitution of Great Brit
ain have been overruled and nullihed, and the
editors of labor papers served with notice that
the laws of lese majeste shall be made to apply
to their collective and individual cases. The
signers of this paper, by accident of birth, are
citizens of the United States, and by reason of
training and inclination thorough trades
unionists. We yield to no man or set of men in
our fealty to the principles of trades unionism
and we prize more highly than time or space
will permit us to tell our union working cards,
because they evidence unionism and our
devotion to the principles of unionism But
much as we prize cards there is one other
thing that prize more highly, and that is
our guaranteed right as citizens OF the United
States to free speech and free press, being
araenabie only to our own consciences. to God
and to the laws of our beloved republic.
We protest, individually and collectively
against the action of our international conven-
ton in threatening with expulsion ny member
of our craft who may be editing or publishing
a labor paper who may exercise his right of
free speech. We deny the right of the interna-
tional convention, any of it's delegates, or
any of it's officers, to exercise censorship over
our publications, and we insist with all the
emphasis at our command that we will oppose
the claim of the executive councils of our in
tetrnational that it is the state and therefore
above criticism. We stand ready at any and
all times to answer to either the civil GRIM
inal law for all that we say but we do strenu-
| before a D.
pointed by the prosecution and having our
cases tried before judge owing his place to
the complainant favor We emphatically OBJ
ject to being tried by jury selected by our
prosecutors, and in addition being denied the
right to face our accusers in open court and
put them the witness stand.

of the week foot up 1927 head, which Is
smaller than that for the corresponding
days last week. when 1879 head were re-
ceived. The run for the first three days
of this week is considerably smaller than
the one for the same three days OF the
corresponding week last year there being
a difference of 1888 head in favor OF last
year. The market this morning opened
active and steady and possibly a little
stronger in some quarters. 1t Is possible
that about a third of the receipts sold
with the market in this condition, when
suddenly the whole thing collapsed, and
The market for the day will average a
little lower than that of Yesterday During
the early part of the forenoon the bulk OF
the sales were at A.65dD4.67A, but after the
sudden slump the bulk of the sales took
place at A.62q465. The top of the market
today was $40.
Generally speaking, the trade today was
active, with prices steady to little
easier.
