BY SAMUEL GoMPERs.
President Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
Employers have not come willingly
or readily to see that it is just and
right and wise that those who work
should have their proper voice in help"
ing to shape and determine the condi
lions Of life and labor. But we have
come far. By the token Of progress
made we know more progress Is to be
made.
1t Is just a little over decade since
the scorn, which those who dominated
the thought Of society felt for the life
and the rights of labor. was expressed
by United States judge when. with
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison,
received sentence to prison because
had dared to print and to speak the
protest Of labor against injustice. Mr..
Mitchell and Mr.. Morrison were SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment,
respectively, and to one year. What
we had done was to discuss the merits
Of case that was before the courts
the Buck Stove and Range case.
Carried to the Courts.
Back Of that event was history made
by fighting. The National Association
Of Manufacturers had taken the posi-
ton that the organized labor move
ment must be destroyed. The Anti
| Boycott association was formed. Every
pressure that could be mustered
against organized labor was brough:
| to bear upon 1t, including the pressure
| of suits in the courts to abridge the
constitutional rights Of the freedom OF
speech and Of the press. That battle
was probably the most concentrated
effort Of employers to break down tht
fighting spirit and the fighting abilit,
of the working people.
The result was that the working peo
ple maintained and indicated thei
constitutional rights and their right t
own themselves and to secure agree
ment with their employers by cOllec
tive bargaining; for the purpose o
bringing employers to realization
the fact that they had the right to ei
tablish better relations and secure BET
ter conditions; they made secure like
wise their right to cease wOrk--t

PROBE OF BOOZE
 RING

Chicago, Jan. 4-Federal authori- ties were prepared today to probe to the bottom of an alleged wholesale liquor scandal uncovered in the arrest of John Costello and James Shea, said to be the tbrains of the liquor vend- ing organization.
 Costello and Shea, according to Prohibition Commissioner Frank D. Richardson, each made a confession naming a number of businessmen of Chicago, New York and New Jersey as participants in the activities of the booze ring. The names of two U. $. Congressmen, Richardson said, were mentioned, in the confession. One of the congressman is alleged to have used his influence to further a con- conspiracy to release thousands of barrels of whiskey.
 William fleming, said to have been named in the confessions of Shea, and Costello, was arrested.
 Profits derived from the operations of the ring, Richardson said, were operated in New York, New Jersey rubber stamps of the signatures of Proh hibition Director Stone and Direc- tor Vanmeter of New Jersey, which they used on forged whiskey with drawal permits. Eastern authorities have been asked to cooperate in the drive to "clean up" the alleged ring. Richardson declared a dozen addi- uonal arrests will follow.

 Boulder, Colo, Jan. 4-George Da- wis overseas veteran, of Red Lodge, Mont, coughed up two pieces of an 70. D. uniform here and is now on the road to recovery after suffering many months from a mysterious flung trouble'' that baffled physicians.
 Davis was wounded in the Argonne on October 1918. and spent several months in hospitals in France, Some months after the armistice he was discharged and returned to Red Lodge. For two years he has suffer ed agonizing pain from an affHction of the left lung that physicians were unable to diagnose.
 Recently Davis came to Boulder for vocational training at the University of Colorado, but his ailment had kept him confined to bed much of the time and little hope was entertained for his life.
 During a severe coughing spell two large pieces of substance were emitted and upon microscopic and chemical analysis were discovered to be parts of his olive drab shirt and blouse that were shot into the lung by a bullet.

(Continued from Page one.)

(ConGnued from Page One.)
 The formal hearing into the mur- der charges against Elwood B. Wade were begun before Judge George E. Hinman and jury of 12 men at 10:35 a. m. today.
 It w1 exactly 1O:30 when the judge, wearing for the first time the black court robe now to be worn by judges in this state took his place on the bench and ordered the crier to open court. Ten minutes before the arrival of the court Elwood B. Wade was brought into the court room from his temporary cell in the basement of the court house by Deputy Frank Fassenlla, who is never more than a yard from his prisoner.
 There was no delay in the proceed ings-nothing spectacular, as hun dreds of curiosity seekers had hoped there would be. Court called to or der and the jury boiled, States At tOrney Cummings called the first witness, Charles Walker of Stratford, an architect with offices in the First Bridgeport National Bank building. who described in detail a plan he had made mad .,i!, for the state of the second which George B. Mott had lived with his family and in which he was mur- dered.
 At 11:o5 Judge William Comley took the witness in hand but held him for only five minutes.
 Immediately MT. Walker left the stand Dr. Samuel M. Garlick, medi- cal examiner. was called and the court room buzzed with suppressed excitement
 Dr. Garlick was a splendid witness for the state and in a calm and dis passionate tone described profession ally the findings of the autopsy which he {I $. Mott at the morgue after it was brought there in the murder trunk by Bridgeport policemen.
 The feature of pr. Garlick's testi- mony was the effort by the defense in cross-examination to establish the position of the body of Mott when he was shot. Dr. GarEck said he would not care to make a positive statement to that effect but he believed that the man was lying down when shot It is presumed that the defense will try to set up on this point that Mott was shot while lying in bed by some person other than Elwood B. Wade.
 He said that death had been caused of the skull and that there were 12 or more fragments of the skull in the wounds.
 Louis H. Corbit, photographer for the state, was the witness on the stand at press hour.
 Hundreds stood in line at an early hour seeking entrance to the court room and building but when Mrs. Mott and Johnston were brought into the room at 9:3O a. m, Sheriff Pease ex- cluded every one including the pre.s from the room and it was 1O:1O be fore the score of reporters were ad- mitted.

PUBLIC MORALS

washinoton Jan. 1.-The public morals board of t1r~ Methodist Epis- copal church announced today that it would inaugurate a campaign to ''stop the contemptous treatment of the Protestant ministry by some car- toonists, writers and actors"
 "On the stage and in motien pie tures,'' the boards announcement said, "the Protestant minister is sell dom represented except as an effe- minate fool. The members of the Protestant churches are exhorted to be liberal, to take humor as humor and be slow to wrath. But the Ro- man Catholic church do not tolerate such treatment of their priesthood which is always represented on the stage and elsewhere in most favor able way and whose religion is treat ed with consideration. The Catholics are to be commended. The time has come also when ProteStantS should not tolerate any other than courteous treatment of their religion and min isry.''
 The board added that the matter was being called to the attention of ministers of all denominations and their congregations with a request that "any violations of ordinary cour- tesy'' be reported to the board, which would make them public.
