1. A wilful and deliberate attempt
to paralyze and destroy the efforts
and activities of the Federal Trade
Commission in its attempts to sup
press and punish violations Of the
antitrust laws; by continued and de-
liberate refusal to prosecute such
violations when repeatedly called to
his attention by the Federal Trade
Commission and by prolonging this
refusal until the statute of limlta-
tions had operated to permit violat-
ors of the federal laws to escape
punishment.
2. A wilful and deliberate refusal
to prosecute the violators of the an
thrust laws that were called to his
attention supported by testimony
taken under oath by the New York
State Joint Legislative Committee
on Housing; which testimony and
evidence showed the existence of a
large number of illegal combinations
in the building material trade and
the existence of unlawful price-fiX-
ing and output-restricting combin-
ations among manufacturers. dealers,
wholesalers, jobbers, and others in
practically every line of industry
connected with building construction.
8. A wilful and deliberate refusal
to prosecute the violation of the anti
trust laws that were called to his
attention, supported by testimony
and evidence, by the United States

and Housing, which evidence showed
the existence of a large number Of
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade in the building industry, which
combinations had been openly violat-
ing the Federal antitrust laws for
years.
4. A wilful and deliberate failure
and refusal to enforce the statutes
of the United States passed by Con-
gress for the protection Of life and
limb of citizens engaged in travel.
5. The dismissal from service in
the Department of Justice of faith
full and efficient employee who had
been engaged in investigating war
fraud cases upon the alleged ground
of "disloyalty," which consisted in
holding conference with members of
the House and Senate; upon the
theory that the loyalty demanded of
employees in his department is a
personal fealty and not loyalty to
the government or people of the
United States.
6. Allowing persons to remain in
the employ of the Department of
Justice after it had been proved that
such persons are guilty of having
accepted fees to represent those
charged by the Department of Jus
tice with violations of the federal
statutes in cases upon which the
said employees had been engaged.
7. The perversion of the legal
processes of the United States for
the purpose of instituting action for
which there was no justification at
the time of its presentation and the
demanding from the courts as
against private individuals processes
of court subversive of those rights
of freedom of speech, freedom of
the press and peaceable assembly
assured by the constitution and laws
of the United States.

SENSE AND HUMOR
By CARL LEONARD
Good day folks, how are U?
Y X X

X
A New Party in 1924
Lately there has been a tendency
for a seperate labor party like the
British labor party. l most sincere
ly must admit that before the Amer
lean workers will experience the
success and the accomplishments of
that party, there must be the meth
ods and processes of educational
work that the party of Great Britain
went through, and this can not be
done by 1924. But, undoubtedly, there
will be a third party. A party of
progressives. This progressive par
ty. whatever name it may adopt,
will have to face the old guards
that of course again will show its
smallness by putting out their
tongue like children in the back
yard, and they will be called Boil
sheviks, Socialists and that they are
a branch of the old Lenin and Trot-
sky party. The new party must also
face another great disadvantage,
"the adoption of a program" 1t
must not be too conservative nor too
progressive. And then the party
must be able to overcome the old
Republicans and Democrats that say
the voting runs in the family. Re-
member, if it is too progressive it
is Farmer Labor, if it is reactionary
it is the old guard policy. However,
the 1924 election win see three par
ties at least, fighting for control of
the government and the presidential
chair.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 4-Governor
William c. Sprou1 will announce his
decision regarding the acceptance of
the United States senatorship shortly
after the funeral of the late Senator
Boies Penrose. he made known today.
Every indication pointed that Gov.

not to resign as governor and accept
an appointment to the senate seat left
vacant by Penrose's death.
His resignation as governor of
Pennsylvania and his acceptance of
the appointment of the United States
senatorship to succeed the late
Boies Penrose has been agreed upon
by practically all of the leaders of the
Republican party, according to men
who are here today from all sections
of the state.
state Senator Edwin Ware of Phil
adelph:a is said to be the only promi-
nent figure who has not rendered his
for Philadelphia, where he expects to
see Ware.
Governor Sproul announces he will
rot make a definite decision until
early next week after he has had an
opportunity to talk over some matters
in Philadelphia conferences and pos
sibly with Senator william z. Grove
who is in a Pittsburgh hospital. The
pressure for prompt action from
Washington may bring a decision be-
fore the end of the week.
There are many rumors of various
political combinations which will be
made as the result of the present sit
uation which will be reflected at the
primaries next May. The conferences
in Philadelphia today and tomorrow
are expected to bring about a general
understanding on the state ticket for
the general election next November.
