COURTS STAND
Denied Postponement,
Says Is No Day in
Court for Him
Asked Delay Until Legislature
Passed on Bill Permitting
Transfer of Such Cases to
Superior Court-Disbarment
Proceedings Continue With
COakley Absent

Boston, Apr. 1.-THE disbarment
proceedings brought by the Boston
Bar association against Daniel H.
Coakley, prominent attorney ofthis
city, on charges of eXtortion and
| perjury were halted abruptly less
than an hour after they had started
today when Coakley left the supreme
it was humanity impossible for him
to get his day in court.
Counsel for the petitioners, with
| Coakley's consent, then submitted
| evidence in one of their allegations
| and rested their case with the pro-
vision that it might be reopcned if
the court could procure more evil
| dence necessary.
Coakley whose name was men
| toned frequently in the trials of
| Nathan A. Tufts and Jos. G.. Pelle-
tier, removed as district attorneys,
respectively of MiddleseX and Suffolk
counties, withdrew after pleading
vainly for motion asking that the
| hearing be postponed until the legis-
| lature disposed of a bill permitting
the transfer of. such cases to the SUI
! perior court.
! Arguing that Judge Charles ].
| Jenney, assigned to hear the petit
ton, had concurred in the decisions
of the full bench removing Tufts
and Pelletier. Coakley said
Before this court | am preiudged.
1 can have no day in court. 1t is not
| a hearing that is offered me today; it
is an autopsy"
| Coakley, asserting that if an i'm
! partial tribunal could hear the
! charges and his answers to them. he
would be exonerated, declared that
| on the record the court was power
! less to give him that impartial trial.
He pointed out that although he had
! testified at the Tufts trial he had not
! had an opportunity to do so at the
Peletier proceedings. in which his
| name was frequently mentioned as a
| co-conspirator.
=" Guilty of conspiracy with Coax
| ley. said your honor in the opinion
| given against Pelletier," Coakley
| continued. Finding me guiltless in
| those cases necessarily implies error
| in the decision against Pelletier.
| There can be no, conspiracy against
any one.
| WAS there ever Judge anywhere
whose previous decision would not
bias his mind in deciding such an is
sue? l say. no."
| Judge Jenney in DENYING the mo-
| ton said that no bill had been re-
ported in the legislature for transfer
of such cases from the jurisdiction
! of the court.
1.-TWO weeks ago this case was as
signed for hearing at this time" the

Appeals for Support
Textile Strikers

Boston. April 17.-Samuel Com
pers. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. after comforting
here today with President Thomas
II. McMahon of the United Textile
Workers of Amefica, made an appeal
for support by union labor Of the
striking New England textile opera
tivcs. The appeal came in an adj
dress at gathering of Massachu-
sets labor leaders at which nearly
every central labor union in the
state was represented
"ghe textile operators" said Mr..
Gon2ers, "a year ago put wage cut
Of % per cent into effect. The man.
ner in which the workers accepted
this cut convinced the owners that
another cut of 90 per cent could be
put on them as we'll as frightening
of the hours of labor
1.-THE spirit of unity had percolated
into tho hearts of the workers by
this time and ten weeks ago they
declared to the mill owners, you
shall. not pass This spirit has
grown and determination to get
their rights places them in better
position today than ever before in
the history of the industry.
1.-THE mill owners have hired de-
tectives and other takers to pose as
working mon and women and try to
divide the ranks of the strikers. but
the true men and women are hold
inC firm. How long they can main
tain their position depends on you
and your brothers and sisters. as
they must have bread and it is up to
you to give them bread.
$50 long as the men and women
Of labor accent wage cuts without
strong opposition. then a feeling OF
security settles over the employers
and the spirit of try it again pre-
walls. but when fights result then
another feeling overcorf1es the en-
nloycrs. and 4 different situation now
faces the labor movement as re-
suit Of. the attitude taken by the
miners and textile workers"
He asserted that attempts to re-
duce wages led to unemployment
because it is necessary for people
with reduced wages to enjoy a re-
Quoted purchasing power"
He declared that the turning. point
had been reached in the terrific
struggle Of organized labor against
captains OF industry and princes OF
finance" adding:
1.-THE enemy has been weakened
How can anyone conceive that the
employing classes are willing 10
spend hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars TO better the condition of the
workers by installing the open shop
in their plants? They want the
open shop and the workers at their
tender mercy.
Nothing but division In our
ranks can be an obstacle to the
march Of labor. It is the duty OF
labor men and women to fight out
their differences and not try to sep
arate their organizations"
