Special Correspondence to The Press
SEATTLE, Sept. 8.-Three hun
dred experts in law, many of them
rich, all of them recognized as
standing at the top Of their profess
sion, engaged in "a bitter struggle,
q struggle into which was thrown
all the power of trained legal
minds, all the experience, of years
in the court room, all the force of
convincing argument they could
bring to bear-and the only issue,
justice for the poor man.
That, you say, would be a fight
worth watching!
1t was.
1t toda place during the recent
annual meeting of the American
Bar association here, and the only
reason the nation has not read
about it and heard about 1t is
this: It did not occur to the COM
parative few who witnessed it to
look back of the actual events of
the struggle for first causes.
Probably none but the lawyers
who sat in the meeting of the as
ISOLATION, and possibly not all of
them, appreciate fully, even now,
that the one great material object
of the session was attained when,
after a midnight battle Of words,
the association of the greatest
trained legal minds of the nation
pledged itself unreservedly to a
fight for the poor man, for legisla-
ton that will force the millionaire
criminal and the most wertched
petty thief to stand equal before
the law.
Four big, broad men, men who
have established their right to
