Dahm claimed in his complaint in

meeting of the union that he would not
allow Dahm. or any other person of the
union, to look up or get any members

Dahm Loses His Suit Against
SecretdryNeW York Typo Union

1t Is not the office of an innuendo,
said the court to graft a meaning upon
or to enlarge the matter set forth, but
to explain the application Of the words
used.5
The court then goes on to state that
there could be no question respecting
the meaning of the words alleged to
have been uttered by O'Connell for they
plainly state that neither Dahm nor any
other member OF the organization would
be allowed by O'Connell TO obtain the
record OF members to enable them to
blackmail such member, which does not
import the commission of the crime.
O'Connell Is Congratulated
The court would not agree that the
words imported the crime OF blackmail
but, at best, only imputed an intention
or purpose TO commit a crime, and that
the mere intent was not sufficient.
The court sustained the view of O'Con-
relrs counsel that the complaint did not
state a cause of action against him.
O'Connell is one of the most popular
members of Big Six" and he received
many hearty congratulations that the
complaint against him was thrown out
OF court.

The word prosperity is a magic
word to most people Just as other mag
ic words are such. because the great
majority of people do not understand
its meaning.
The word prosperity has been po-
litical watchword and catch word for
generations. Great contests have been
waged around it because Of its magic
influence over the popular mind.
But the people OF this country are
realizing more and more that prosper
ity is not thing to be had by resolu-
tions or by decree nor altogether by
Legislation. but it comes through ac-
tions of the people in keeping moving
the medium of prosperity, which is
our money
We are a credit people. This nation
is possibly the greatest credit nation on
the face Of the earth. The great bulk
of our business is done on credit. We
credit one another; the manufacturer
credits the merchant: the merchant
credits his customer; the professional
man credits his customers and client;
and so on through every avenue of our
whole business institutions, we find
credit the one outstanding character
istic.
Credit is a great thing, too. but like
other good things is sometimes
abused. and where i.is abused or mis-
used it becomes a detriment rather
than a factor IN upbuilding the bust
