ests in a decision rendered some
years ago in connection with suit
growing out of the Lorimer Bank
scandal.
Bitter Attack on Labor Leaders
"At times this bias against labor
organizations has carried him to such
extremes that he has disregarded
even the scant courtesy shown byith
most careless demagogue. In his
speech before the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce, in November,
1923, Mr.. Dawes evidently lost all
control of himself, for, according to
the official publication of the associa-
ton he directed statements which
were actually libelous or at least
slanderous under the law against
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, Pres
ident John H. Walker of the Illinois
State Federation Of Labor, and Sec
rotary Victor A. Olander of the Illi-
nOis State Federation of Labor.
"This performance followed his IL
linois trip, during which he repeated
ly made verbal attacks upon the three
trade unionists named. The signif-
canoe of this is in the fact that Com
munist agitators headed by William
-. Foster were at the time seeking to
induce the trade unions of the state
to accept communistic propaganda,
and it was while these communists
were attacking Gompers, Walker and
Olander that Mr.. Dawes began his
public efforts to discredit these trade
union officials. Fortunately for the
state of Illinois and the trade union

CHICAGO TRADE UNIONS
GIVE AT LEAST $4,000

By international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.--Indications are
that labor organizations affiliated
with the Chicago Federation of Labor
will contribute at least $50, 900 to the
La Follette-Wheeler national politi-
cal campaign. This is the estimate of
the committee in charge after the
first week of the drive. Representa-
tives of the committee are meeting
hearty response from the rank and
file everywhere in Cook county.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, sent
out a call to central bodies through
out the United States a few weeks
ago that local nOnpartisan politi-
cal campaign committees be ap-
pointed to cooperate with the nation
al committee, of which Mr.. Gompers
is the head, to bring about the cleo
ton of Senators La Toilette and
Wheeler to the presidency and vice
presidency, respectively. John Fitz-
patrick, president Of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, appointed a COM
mittee of rs from among the most
prominent officers of the Chicago la
Dor movement. This committee elect
ed, Charles F. Wills of the Machinists
as chairman, and Anton Johansen Of
the Carpenters, as secretary.
Federation Asks Cooperation
Another call was sent out by Pres
lidant GOnnal.z AT q LATER date 70 al
international unions, all state bodies
all local central bodies and all loeaI
unions, urging them to put forth
every effort to raise funds to carry
on the campaign.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
Immediately complied with this re
quest by sending circular letter 4

movement, neither Mr.. Dawes nor his
communistic team mates succeeded.
"In presenting this report we must
point out that we cannot be charged
with political partisanship. We be-
lieve that the people of the United
States cannot afford to run the risk of
having Charles G. Dawes, by being
elected vice president, becoming
through some turn of events, presi-
dent of this great nation.
At Variance With Own Party
1--WE are not influenced in this by
the fact that he is a candidate of the
republican party. Indeed, this con-
vention of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor has officially declared
that the republican candidate for
governor of this state should be
elected.
Despite the insistence of Mr..
Dawes that injunctions, such as are
used against working people in labor
disputes and which deny the exercise
of constitutional rights, are an es-
sential part of American constitu-
tiOnal government, the state republi-
can convention in Illinois has a plat
form declaring for the abolition Of
injunctions in labor disputes. 1t is
clear, therefore, that even the re-
publicans in Illinois who are loyal
to their state party cannot agree with
the peculiar position taken by the
vice presidential candidate of the
national republican party.
"In conclusion we believe it neces-
sary to report that the Illinois State
Federation of Labor is in full accord
with the principles of the American
Federation of Labor and in complete
agreement with the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of
Labor in support of the candidacy
of Robert NJ. La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin for president of the United States
and Burton K. Wheeler of Montana
for vice president of the United
States"

hsh and write on any subject,
this constitutional provision being so
worded as to plainly indicate that ac-
cusations for abuse of these liberties
shall be in the form of libel or SLAM
der suits which must be tried in a
court of law and not in a court of
equity.
Dawes Boosted He Saved Judges
"Under the Illinois constitution the
state Legislature has no power to en-
act into statute law the sort of pro-
hibitions issued by Judges Sullivan
and Holdom as injunctions and court
orders. Mr.. Dawes, besides being a
political banker, is a lawyer and we
therefore must assume that he knows
the constitution of his own state.
Nevertheless, he places injunctions
above the constitution.
"In a bokolet which he issued after
the conclusion of the judicial cam
paign, he and his Minute Men of the
Constitution boasted that they saved
Judge Holdom and Judge Sullivan
from defeat by their efforts in the
suburban towns around the city of
Chicago. Incidentally, it may be
pointed out that Judge Holdom had
been very kind to the Dawes inter-

 PRESENT PLATFORM
His Will Be Short and Concise With 27 Planks

! Worcester, June 23.-Senator David ]. Walsh, stopping for a short time in Worcester yesterday. made known that he has drafted tabloid" plat form for his party-a unique, short and concise" platform that he will ] present to the resolutions committee i at the democratic convention in New York.
 It is all covered in 27 paragraphs The full text will be given out to the press tomorrow, the senator said. It was learned, however, that chief among the pledges proposed by sena5 tor Walsh are the following:
 ''To provide salaries adequate for decent living conditions for postal and other government employees and their families"

 He said that his purpose in draft ing the short platform was to get away from the long-hraRn- af. fairs of past campaigns. which plat. forms, he said, were drawn with the sole idea of getting vote. rather than with sincere purpose Of producing constructive leeislation'
