/ know one Advertising Dentist
who paid money 20 the combine TO
AID the prosecution OF nonIiceBsed
Dentlsta. and he had four unlicensed
Dentists working In his office. but
they were never arrested. They we're

Only had Dentists, like me, who
Fought for their rights and did not
Join the combine, were perHecuted.
Why was II that the president and
secretary OF the Dental Society did
not call on me 10 got money TO prose-
cute other Dentists, and then allow
me TO employ unlicensed Dentists
without arresting them7 Because
they feared that I would tell the
people What they were doing.

our coufts with suspicion. distrust
