CHICAGO. May 19.-Another sam
Parks case.
This is what Chicago labor men are
calling the present trial OF Martin b.
Madden, better known as Skinny
Madden. the natty and Immediately
dressed head OF the building trades
council. former president of the Chi
cago Federation OF Labor, and polit.
icai boss and acknowledged car OF
Chicago union men.
Madden is accused OF extorting ST.

calling on a strike.
Two other men, NJ. J. Boyle. bust

ers. and r. A. Pouchet. chairman OF
the board OF business agents, are be
ing tried with Madden, but he Is the
big central figure.
Two features, one the attitude OF
the prosecution. the other the person
atty OF Madden, raise the trial above
the level OF ordinary labor legal diff
ficulties.
The attitude OF the prosecution. as
evidenced by the questions asked by
States Attorney Wayman OF each
prospective juryman. is that not union
ism Is on trial, but one man and one
offense.
do you understand that this Is q
fight for unions, not against them ??
he asked. And Would you be pre-
JUDGED against the prosecution be
cause the defendants are union men?
wayman gave out list OF words
that each venireman had TO define or
leave the stand. They are jawbreak
ers. Some OF them are:
Confederation, hypothesis. acces
sorry. averred, circumstantial, pre-
sumption. conformity. conjecture, dis
erection, extortion. presumption. carl
cature. subtle. tortuously.
But the chief interest Is In the ch!ei
defendant, natty Skinny" Madden.
Madden dresses like bank cashier
and talks like dock walloper. That
is he talks that way usually. Wher
he has to address committee or EN-
ployers. or any public gathering. his
language is studied, elegant. correct
with brilliant colored vests. spats
diamonds. and college boy trousers
Madden can talk TO the least educat
ed OF his men In their own language
and leave them swearing by him.
His word is law with his men. They

rival In Bomberg had already got
abroad. for there was great crowd
in the square opposite the ministry
and troops were with difficulty holding
the people in check.
Ludwig found himself faced with
the necessity OF literally carving a
way through the press. and he set the
car for the long hill leading up TO the
palace at a good pace.
The troops and the crowd opened

as the kings motor passed into the
