DISMISS LIBEL SUIT
OF JAMES NJ. Lynch
INDIVIDUAL CAN'T SUE WHEN
ENTIRE CLASS Is CRITI-
CISED.

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE one
hundred thousand dollar libel suit in
stituted by James NJ. Lynch, former
president OF the International Typo
graz hical Union of North America,
against John Kirby and other direc-
tors OF the National Association Of
Manufacturers, for passing resolu-
tions charging the union with respon-
sibility for the dynamite explosion
which killed score OF employees in
the Los Angeles Times building in
1910, was dismissed by Justice Guy
in tie supreme court today.
In sustaining the demurrer Of the
directors Justice Guy stated that no
officers Of the union were specifi-
cally mentioned in the resolutions and
held that where libel is against a
whole class, no single individual can
caintain a civil action for libel against
its author"
The court also stated that critl-
cisms against corporations, organiZa-
tions and associations have been
freely made in New York state since
1875, without exposing the critics to
prosecution for civil libel by any and
every aggrieved person or officer OF
The organization so criticised" and
that the present case does not fur
nish sufficient ground for departure
from this wholesale rule"

The RIGHT OF SEARCH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,

forego the exercise Of the right OF
search Of vessels carrying cargo from

them as to the neutral character Of
their cargoes.
Unless this is done cargo ships will
be subject to the ordinary rules Of
warfare. and may be searched on the
high seas or taken to the nearest
British port for that purpose If 1t Is
imprac ticable 10 get at the whole
cargo otherwise.
There is no authority to require an
American ship captain to apply to q

mission to take away cargo. but on
the other hand. the state department.

ment is entirely within It's rights IN

ment proposed.
The department today received a
note from the French government
stating France was prepared to give
the same assurances as had been
given by the British government in

FOUR OF OUR ALDERMEN HAVE
CHANGED THEIR MINDS

NnHNNED ! 7EIk MlNDS
Four aldermen have changed their
faces lately. The Bell Telephone Co.
now has the good will and the votes
of Aldermen Hey, Twigg, Vavricek
and Burns, as seen~in the voting
lately. ~,
Last year when the Bell Co. asked
for permission to buy the Automatic
Co., these four we're against saying
Eyes" to the sale of 100000 worth
of property for $6,000,000 just be-
cause the phone trust asks for it.
Where they used to say mo" they
are now saying Yes.
Twigg and Vavricek were beaten
in the primaries and seem to be
thrown in the political discard: Burns
has withdrawn and is supposed to be
quitting politics. -.
Before the curtains fall and they
all say goodbye to the merry game
of representing the people, they are
trying to do one last kind favor for
big Chicago monopoly.
Why Jack Hey has switched his
vote nobody knows for sure-eXcept
Jake. But the arguments OF the
phone trust which used to look fool
ish to Jake now look all right. He
votes now the same way that B. F.
Sunny would if Sunny were an alder
man on the gas, Oil and electric light
committee.
This change of faces of four alder
men makes the committee vote on
telephone stuff stand to 8 for the
Bell Co., where it used to stand 10
to Z against the monopoly.
1t is estimated a quarter of a mil
lion dollars was spent by the Bell Co.
for local newspaper advertising last
year. Besides gaining much good
will in this way, the Bell Co. has some
subscribers who feel kindly because
they get special privileges from the
phone trust.

Thousands of subscribers who pay
nickel for every call they make
would understand that they are the
ones who pay the profits of the tele-
phone millionaires, if Vic Lawson
should explain the game in his daily
22-page splatter of news, near-news
and instructions in embroidery and
old ladies' fancy work.
The Daily News is strong on wild
animals found in Kamchatka or
strange life at the bottom of the sea.
But the News never has space to ex-
plain why the majority of Bell sub
scriberS pay "a nickel for every call
while Lawson and a few others pay
a quarter Of a cent per call.
The Bell Co., it is known, would
set up big howl of triumph all over
the country, if it is able to put across
the deal now proposed. With the
Automatic equipment sold out and
scrapped, the Bell Co. would cite
Chicago as one of the places where
a competing line failed
One of the Bell attorneys before
council committee argued to an
alderman, What do you care if this
goes through? Chicago isn't going
to lose anything. If we buy the Au-
tomato and water the stock and sell
it all over the United States except
Chicago, you're not losing anything
nor any of your constituents"
The alderman answered: I'm a
citizen of the United States and I'd
hate just as much to see the people
in other states swindled as l would
people in Chicago"
