Chicago, Dec. q Frank z, Walsh
former head of the federal industrial
relations commission and later Joint
chairman of the federal war labor
board, was the principal witness for
the defense at today's session of the
trial of Congressman-ele Victor L.
Berger of Milwaukee and four other
socialist leaders charged with con-
spiracy TO violate the espionage law
He told of a controversy he had
with Postmaster General Burleson in
July, 1917, at a hearing in Washing

second class mailing privilege be re-
stored to the American Socialist and
other papers. Walsh said he after
ward wrote letter to the postmaster

method of handling this class of cases
and threatening to appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson. Postmaster General
Burleson in his reply characterized
Mr. Walshs letter as ''impertinent
and probably intended to be often
sive"
Mr. Walsh testified that later he
laid the case before President Wilson
and suggested a number of reforms in
the manner of handling these cases.
The witness said that his purpose in
protesting to the Washington officials
was to safeguard the constitutional
rights of free speech and free press.
lie said he had read several copies
of the American Socialist and a num-
Der of anti-war pamphlets circulated
by the socialist party but had not
been greatly impressed by them.
On cross examination he drew a
distinction between what he thought
should be barred from the mails and
what should be excluded under the
espionage law. He expressed the view
that much of the socialist antiwar
literature might be mailed without
doing any harm,
He said he did not agree with the
socialists that it was capitalist war
and vouchsafed the opinion that
many persons who expect to make
great fortunes out of this war would
be sorely disappointed when they got

several other ancient books which
the literati of America enjoy read

for us, we still like to read Esop s

we can buy for a few cents each.

This same state official should be
the editor of a state semi-weekly
newspaper, in which should be
published all this matter which re-
lates strictly to his own state, and
his paper should be mailed in the
same wrapper to every registered
voter, and all go free of postage.
If this plan were adopted, it
would result in saving enough pa
per to pay the cost of the extra
mailing clerks required and, what
is more important, the publicity
gained would be more extensive
and, consequently, gain greater re-
suits.
If the department heads at
Washington would suggest some
such plan as this to congress, we
think that body would give it the
consideration it deserves.
AT any rate, the army of publici-
ty agents is wasting tons of cost
