Whatever may be the conditions at
the Doubleday-Page plant in regard to

no desire TO embarrass the administra-

Group.

LONDON, May 1.-THE resolution OF
protest against the nomination of Walter
H. Page, the United States ambassador
to Great Britain, was introduced by W.
Coffey, member of the executive COM
mittee Of the London Trades Council. on
the strength of a letter written on paper
bearing the letter head OF the Allied
Trades Council of Greater New York and
signed Charles L. Conway. secretary OF
the National Brotherhood of Bookbind-
ers"
After describing Walter III. Page as a
member of the firm of Doubleday, Page
& Co. the letter says:
This concern, is bitterly opposed to or
ganized labor. The only department that
forced recognition from the union stand
point was the bookbnders. but they are
now on strike, being forced out, as the
policy of the firm is to replace men with
boys"
The letter also says that the Interna-
tionaI Typographical Union, local No. d,
continues the firm on the unfair" list
and that the men who had been secured
TO take the strikers places rebelled and
struck without the aid of any organiZa-
ton.
The letter concludes by asking all 1.-THE
organized labor of the United Kingdom to
assist us in giving this matter the widest
publicity and also to file protest to our
government on its selection and a protest
TO Your own government for its accept
ance of this man.

dignity of the bench was dealt the 9th

1t was struck when an Aurora JUS
tice of the peace, tempering justice
with mercy, was kissed in open court
by a man he had dismissed. The re-
sounding smack upon the Justices
cheek was delivered before anyone
could interfere and after that every.
one was too startled to do so.
Frank de Cook, arrested for ped
ding without a license, was the man
who introduced the European method
of expressing gratitude into an Amer
lean court. He had told Police Magis-
trate Thomas Barlow such an affect
ing hard luck story that the justice
not only dismissed the charges against
him, but called him to the bench and
gave him one dollar.
Then came the kiss.
The justice refused to say whether
he considered it in the light of q

ONLY ELEVEN ON THIS JURY
Judges Refusal to Exempt Deaf Lip
Reader Left the Tribunal One
Man Shy.

In one Of our city courts the judge
was examining a number Of men who
were trying to be relieved from jury
duty. There were all sorts of men and
all kinds of excuses, and his honor
was getting restless. One of the men
drawn on the panel was genuinely
deaf, but like a number of people af-
fected in the same way, he could
watch the speakers lips and know
what he was saying, even though he
could not catch word by sound. The
Judge sat for a few minutes with
out uttering a word, and then in a
very low tone said: so you wish to
be excused from jury duty because
you cannot hear?" The man was
looking directly at his lips, and conse-
uuently understood the question of the
Judge.
Yes, sir, that is the reason" was
the prompt reply.
We'll, if you can hear me when
talk in that tone of voice l guess you
are a fit juryman. You are not ex-
cused," was the decision Of the Judge.
There was no help for it, and the
deaf man took his seat in the box,
with the result that he heard little or
none of the testimony, and that parti-
cular jury was practically composed
of only eleven men.
