Mt. Clemens. Mich. July 31.-The
testimony Of Professor William A.

pert, introduced by Henry Ford in
his libel suit against the Chicago
Daily Tribune. flowed through an un-
changed channel today.
Elliott g. Stevenson, senior coun-
sci for the Tribune, confined the tes-
timony to alleged points Of similarity
between the utterances Of Mr.. foro
and leading anarchists and Alfred
Lucking, Ford's attorney. to what he
held was similarity Of the same state
ments Of the manufacturer to non
anarchists.
To show that Mr.. Ford and Emma
Goldman were not in accord, Mr.
Lucking read from the Goldman mag
azine Mother Earth" an article at
tackng the Ford profit sharing plan.
in which she remarked that the
worker could not feed on the crumbs
from the glutton's table"
Mucn time was taken up in thresh-
ing out definitions of the words
"anarchism," anarchy" and "anarch-
ist," in the course of which Profess
sor Dunning defined anarchy as the
use of violence to overthrow govern

INDUSTRIAL UNREST

London, July 31-(By the Associat-

The Liverpool lockers have para
lyzed shipping there for two weeks
The bakers have decided to strike
on Saturday. and now the London
police are about to go out on strika
The worst movement of all from
the government standpoint is the
threat Of direct action by the
triple alliance of railway men, miners
and transport workers. These pow.
erful unions are taking a secret bal.
lot to decide whether they shall use
the weapon of general strike to try
to neforce their political program Il
the naturalization of mines and
railways and to end consumption and
withdrawal from all participation ir
Russian affairs.
The government regards the po-
lice strikes as the most dangerous
feature of the prevalent unrest. 1t
may prove q critical test of the la
Dor campaign.
The home secretary, Mr.. Short,
has declared that the government is
firm and will consider no compro-
mise or yielding to policemen's de-
mands to have the status of an or
binary labor union.
Lord Asquith. who has had more
experience than any other man IN
