of the Morse concerns. It had ex-
pert accountants, auditors, lawyers
and others working on the Morse
books for nearly two years, pre-
pairing it's case" a great many of
the statements submitted in evil
dence by the Government were pre-
pared by experts" appointed by
the district attorneys office, some
of whom admitted on the witness
stand that they worked under in
structions from the district attorney
in order to obtain an indictment.
Legal Technicalities.
Conspiracy to defraud the gov;
eminent" is the charge of the Gov
eminent. The points which counsel
for the defense will press will be
that if a conspiracy has been at
tempted or carried out, it is not
likely that those charged with the
crime would have made entries to
that effect on their own books and
papers and thus confessed the crime.
Another question which the defense
will ask is when and where and
by whom was the conspiracy at
tempted" and what is the amount
Of loss suffered by the Government
as result of this alleged conspir-
acy?" The defense will further
claim that the prosecution was with
out legal right to have the defen-
dants TO appear and testify against
themselves by putting their books
in evidence.
The jury when impanelled was
asked by the Government whether
it had any objections to convicting
on indirect" evidence. Direct
evidence in conspiracy case is
difficult, almost impossible to oh
tain, because of the secrecy sur
rounding a conspiracy. The Gov
eminent for this reason is bound to
present it's case to the jury on lin
direct" evidence. It is agreed that
it will require a master mind to
link together in a convincing and
logical manner, the various items
indicating that Conspiracy" has
been committed. The prosecution
is satisfied that it will be able to
accomplish the presentation of these
tell-tales items and it is generally
admitted that much of the Govern
ment's success will depend on a
masterful argument and final sum-
ming up Of it's case to the jury.
1t is expected that the defense
will take from six to eight weeks
to present it's side of the case in
which contingency it will go to the
jury about the middle Of August.

INDUSTRIAL
PEACE IS
AIDED
Department of Labor ConciIia-
tors Have Met With Singu-
lar Success.
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
International News Service.
While the rumbling of war
thunder is heard in every corner
of the globe, the United States
Government has become the cham
pion peacemaker of the world.
Settles 81 Disputes.
Using it's vast resources not to
promote war but to bring peace,
the Government has peacefully
settled eighty-seven out of every
the hand of a pacifist, Department
of Labor reports revealed today.
The disputes, while confined solely
to labor problems, resulted at times
in all the bloodshed, pillage and
hatred of war-stricken armies in the
field, before the Government
entered as peace-maker.
Covering a pacifist record Of ten
years, Uncle Sam has settled the
q. industrial quarrels of 10000, 900 men
bN getting the disputants to accept
its friendly advice in 5000 strikes
and threatened strikes. More than
$4,000 industrial plants were in
volved in the disputes which were
spread across the nation from coast
to coast and into practically every
city.
This record of peace-making was
accomplished by the Bureau of
Cancellation in the Department of
Labor. It's record under the Hard
ing Administration since 1921
totals amicable settlements in 1900
strikes, involving 100000 workers.
nf
year, $40 cases were settled with
a total of 100000 men returned to
work. The bureaus record was ex-
planned today by Director Hugh l..
Kerwin.
Secretary of Labor Davis is the
Governments peace-making agent"
said Kerwin. "He has a corps of
twenty-eight commissioners to han
die the work and these men were
drawn from the ranks of mauufac-
turers, mine managers, lawyers,
editors, labor organization officials
and state labor commissioners.
Square Deal Policy.
1.-THE three-fold purpose of the
department through it's industrial
peace-makers is to encourage a full
measure of production, preserve the
welfare of the wage-earner and
treat the employer fairly. Our
general policy is to wait in any
given dispute until one of three
parties affected-the' employers, en-
:. ployes or the public-requests our
conciliatory assistance. Our men
are industrial peace-makers and their
record is one which is a standing
: credit to the Government"
Kerwin declared all three parties
concerned" call upon the Govern
ment for aid time ana again. The
6 public, he said, makes it's requests
through mayors, public petitions,
city councils, school boards, cham
bers of commerce and like civic
: organizations.
: You cannot solve the problem of
an industrial dispute without con-
sidering the public in addition to
. the worker and employer" Kerwin
g added. I'm every dispute, the de-
partment seeks to find a common
meeting ground that will provide a
Z basis Of Just settlement acceptable

to both sides and assuring justice to
the publics demands.
EMPLOYEES CO-operate.

Employees Cooperate.
Wherever employers and EN-.
ployes make progress toward an
agreement, the department does not
intervene. We take the position
that the best settlement is that
reached by, the parties themselves
without outside interference. When
we do enter, we have found both
labor and employers accepting our
advice with a fine spirit of friendly
cooperation.
Labor has discovered it has a
standing recognized by the Govern
ment whenever it's demands are
based on Constitutional rights, and
employers have found the depart.
ment ready to protect them from
unjust and unreasonable exactions.
In almost all cases where the de-
partment has acted, it found fine
spirit Of cooperation from both
sides"
