When He Urged Soldiers Not

MANCHESTER, England. May g.
Few criminal trials in recent years
have attracted as much attention in
England as that of Tom Mann, the
noted labor leader and socialist, which
began here today. On the result
hinges freedom of speech in the
United Kingdom according to Mann
and his followers. The trial Is the
direct outcome of the recent paralyz-
ing coal strike. Mann, in a bitter
speech here, denouncing the contem.
plated action of the government to
break the strike by means of soldiers,
appealed to the troops not to obey or
ders He called attention to the fact
that if they shot down the strikers
and their sympathizers they would be
shooting their own near relatives. and
his speech made such an impression
that general unrest was reported
4 among the soldiers In number of
! garrisons.
Mann was arrested charged with in
| citing to mutiny For several days he
| was held incommunicado. finally be-
1 ing released on bail after he had sign
! ed an agreement to refrain from urg-
/ ing the troops to take any decided ac-
/ tion in connection with the strike.
When the trial opened today, the
4 crown prosecutor produced numerous
articles by Mann discussing the coal
q strike One cited figures to show
!, that the recruits for the army came
from the working classes almost en-
J tirely and We're officered by sons OF
. wealthy families and members OF the
nobility and wound UP by declaring
that any soldier who shot a striker or
strike syrnpathizer simply murder
ed one of his own family
Mann objected to the introduction
Of most of the evidence He conduct
I, ed his own defense, but most of the
rulings of the court were against him
In his own defense Mann admitted
his guilt. but attempted Justification
citing conditions that existed at the
time. He argued, however that his
words must not be construed as ask
ing the soldiers to disobey any law oil
the commanders.
