LETTER TO THE DAY BOOK


Editor Day Book:
took to the Chicago American
Office the same set of resolutions con-
corning the ritual murder case in
Russia that The Day Book printed
Saturday. l asked the city editor of
the American to please publish the
resolutions. 1 told this city editor that
the lodge, which was representing,
intended later to draw resolutions
thanking the American for work it
had done for said trial The city edi-
tor told me that they would print the
resolution concerning the trial when
I gave him the resolutions thanking
the American. He refused to print
our resolutions until we passed an
other set praising the American.
Looks like the American didn't do all
their work in behalf of the ritual
murder trial for justice sake, as
first thought. S. D. Goldberg,
