conspiracy Of any kind. The general
impression is that Ryan believed that
b. attacking such a man as Presi-
dent Gompers it would bring him into
the limelight to be seen by those who
might be powerful politically. The
case demonstrated how easy it is to
bring suits for damages against labor
officials. However. the Washington
Post of May IL in commenting on the
outcome of the trial said:
"Sampel Gompers, president of
the A. +. Of L. veteran war
horse who has come out un-
scathed in many an encounter in
the courts and otherwise, added
another legal victory to his list
yesterday and departed from
circuit court No. in his charac-
teristic fashion"
The peculiar feature of the case
was that Ryan objected to Gompers
and the other defendants saying
things about him that he had said
about them. He claimed that Presi-
dent Gompers tried to take away
from him the right of free speech
and then demanded S25, 900 damages
because President Gompers wanted
to speak and had spoken freely about
him.

WAGES LOW IN
IRON RANGE OF
MIN n f. S O T A

The attention of the Twin City
Federation of Labor has been called
by the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor to an apparently consistent
campaign of advertising being carried
on in neighborng states for workmen
to go to what is known as the Iron
Range in the northern part of Mime
sofa, that high wages, good condi-
tons and steady work are being of
fered there. The information furn-
ished to the federation is that the
mining industry in the Iron Range in
Minnesota keeps but a small percent
age of its men employed the year
around and that at the present time
hundreds of men there are idle and
that the wages in that section are
$3.75 for ten hours for common labor.
The federation is requested to advise
all affiliated organizations of this
condition so that men may not be led
to go to that section under a misap-
prehension as to the conditions exist
ing there.

Chairman, A. f. of l.. Legislative
Committee.


Committee.
The conspiracy case against Presi-
dent Gompers of the A. +. of l..
brings to light the danger confront
ing every labor official in the United
States and every member of the rank
and file. While the complainant did
not have leg TO stand on he caused
much annoyance and aggravation be-
cause while President Gompers and
the other defendants were defending
themselves in court they were pre-
vented from performing their official
duties In the cause of labor.
Patrick j. Ryan claimed that Presi-
dent Gompers, President William d.
Clark of Plate Printers Union No. 2,
James A.. Early, a member of the
Executive Committee of Plate Print
ers' Union No. and Chris Lehmkul
member of that union, had con-
spired to injure him because he had
criticised President Gompers. There
was no direct evidence of the con.
spiracy. The jurymen were told
when examined that all the evidence
would be circumstantial.
1t appears that the Plate Printers
union directed the officials to request
the aid of President Gompers to Sc
cure an increase in wages for the
employees in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. This meeting was held
September 10, 1920, after President
Gompers had agreed to give what
ever aid was possible he incidentally
spoke of an interview with Patrick
J. Ryan, member of the Plate Print
ers' Union. published in a Washing
ton paper condemning President
Gompers' stand in the political cam
paign and also his attitude toward
the League of Nations.
Mr.. Gompers' secretary who hap
pened to be sitting near took down
this statement unbeknown to Mr..
Gompers. President Clark secured
copy Of the statement, called
meeting of the advisory board of the
Plate Printers Union and read it to
that board. The advisory board rec
commended that a special meeting be
called to consider the action of Ryan.
This meeting was held September 20
and directed the executive committee
to issue a statement that Ryan did
not speak for Plate Printers Union
No. when he made such malicious
attack on President Gompers.
On the afternoon of October Ia,
1920, the four defendants were served
with notice of $4,000 damage
suit filed by Ryan. The same night
the Plate Printers Union suspended
Ryan for an indefinite period. Ryan
is lawyer and he had three other
lawyers helping to rove the conspir-
acy charge.
Attorney jackson Ralston repre-
scented the defendants. After Presi-
dent Gompers had testified. and he
gave the complainants' attorneys q
bad six hours when he was on the
stand, the judge ordered the jury to
return a verdict for the defendants.
President Gompers had many i'm.

as the fact that the Executive Coun

the trial. Nevertheless it was posi-

President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation Of Labor has
just won a complete victory in a suit
charging conspiracy and libel brought
by Z. j. Ryan, Washington lawyer,
in which Ryan asked S25, 900 damages.
The judge directed the jury to re-
turn a verdict for President Gompers
after Mr.. Gompers had testified at
length and in detail during period
of six hours on the witness stand
A feature of the testimony was the
reading of a list of more than 200
organizations and committees Of
which the president of the American
Federation of Labor is a member.
The following article relative to the
suit and Mr.. Gompers' victory, by
Mr.. Roberts, is the result of constant

But no one can expect to profit with
out taking chance and running the
risk of losing. 1t is for this reason
that the practice of buying CONNER
cial and business cars on time has
grown to such proportions. Many
bread-winner's car is paid for out of
the earnings which the car alone
makes possible. This is a sound busi-
ness principle. proof of which is seen
in it's popularity and the general sat
isfaction with which the details work

handled on this basis. and It Is rea-

enough profit to justify buying it on

that is confined to the city continue

it's inability to get back to nature
when by simply investing portion of
the monthly pay check each month

the problem?
Many people could materially cut
down on family transportation ex-
penses, enhance their social and busi-

and reap the benefits of the broader
life which motoring makes possible
by owning car Let these people,
like those who see profit in dollars

That Australia now presents one OF

which are opening up are Argentina,

said:

about the same pace. and if the in

Exports in January were 1883

Under any plan whereby the manu-
