ingenuity and research could invent"
Outside the courthouse crowds had

As the courtroom emptied after the

There was a tense moment when
the jurors filed into the box for the
last time. Their foreman. in a voice
shaking with the emotions OF the
moment. spoke in such a low tone
that he could scarcely be heard. The
clerk read back the formal verdict.

The editorial tn which The Tribune
attacked Henry Ford and branded him
as an anarchist was printed in 1915.
The case has been fought through
several courts on one point or another
over since. finally arriving through
change Of venue asked by The Tribune
ln Mt. Clemens.

attitude was going to be as to the
ehre of his men who Joined the ma

however. is upon the defense when

they made, or that it was fair com
ment within the meaning of that
term
"a newspaper has the same right
az an individual to its opinions and
conyictions-no more and no less"
The court further informed the Jury
that II they found that the charge was
untrue they must find for the plaintiff
He declared that there was nothing
ambiguous about the editorial. 1t
called MIR. Ford an anarchist and the
only way the defendant could escape
being found guilty Of libel was to
prove that charge. He said further
that the Jury must accept the popular
conception of the meaning of the tern
anarchist"
Counsel for The Chicago Tribune
made no effort TO appeal the case aud

 Tt is true that price fixing during the war period was accompanied by a patriotic appeal but 1t is none the less true that manufacturers gained from it. It was a good thing all around, and 1t IS as necessary now as it was then.
 There are many beneficial lessons which we al can learn from war ex- perience, and the lesson taught by price fixing is among then-price fix ing without wage reduction.

 Personally I devoutly hope that there will be no growth of radicalism in the United States, ana we of the American Federation of Labor shall do all that lies within our power to pre- vent it.

War Risk Insurance.

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
wishes to emphasize the Importance to
service men of one of the provisions
of the War Risk Insurance Act upon
the fulfilIment of which may depend
the validity of their claim to compen-
sation under the Act.
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that 'No Compensation shall be
payable for death or disability which
does not occur prior TO or within one
year after discharge or resignation
from the service, except that where,
after a medical examination made
pursuant to regulations, at the time
of discharge or resignation from the
service, or within such reasonable time
thereafter, not exceeding one year,
as may be allowed by regulations, a
certificate has been obtained from the
director to the effect that the injured
person at the time of his discharge or
resignation was suffering from injury
likely to result in death or disability "
Many discharged men are not famil-
lar with or are inclined to disregard
this provision of law and are allowing
their rights Hereunder to lapse.
Request for the certificate mention
ed above should be made to the Chiei
