Aged Union Chief Appeals TO Prevent
"Destrnctton OF Democratic

NEW YORK. Nov. l6.-Samucl Com
pers: president Of the American Fed
Dor against using direct action" in
a statement circulated today among
part:
What is meant by direct action
is this:
In the event that the majority de-
cision at the ballot box goes against
any given proposition, the minority
may, by suspendng work in a vital
Industry, compel the nation to reverse
the decision OF the majority and ac-
cede to the will of the minority.
Whether democratic political insti-
tutions are worth maintaining is of
course, matter for decision by those
institutions.
The destruction OF the democratic
political structure by direct action
would inevitably lead to chaos.
The strike itself is weapon too
valuable and too sacred to be used
for any other than its Legitimate pur-
pose"

Bailey arrested the soldier while on the train and was intending to hold him for the next train, but when the train pulled out, the defendant caught the same train from which he had just been taken, and started for Oklahoma When Mr. Bailey Jagged the train and as the train slowed down the soldier leaped from window and escaped. The accused was wanted at Foreman for forging check for about $50. He left an automobile at Foreman, Mr. Bailey said, after his prisoner escaped, that he would have shot him but there were too many people standing around, We guess there was as many as five or six standing there at the time.
