today told the Senate Daugherty com
mittee he went out to get his money

fight films by showing them when
ever possible. though he knew it was
a violation OF the law.

after he had been fined $1,000 for
showing the pictures in New York to
disabled soldiers. 1t was this 81 900 he
wanted to get back.
He told the committee Jap Muma
promised to get a law passed in
Washington making it legal to show
fight flIhs anywhere, but that Muma
never said he had influence in the
capitol which would make it safe to
exhibit the films in defiance Of the
law.
He said that after they got by" so
easily in New York, he concluded they
could do the same elsewhere. But.
he added, he was 'bunked" and the
entire profits OF the picture exhibit
tions totaled only 10000.

Tex Rickard took the stand. Sen
ator Wheeler was in charge of the ex,
animation.
Rickard said he hired F. c. Quinby
Of New York to take moving pictures
Of the fight. He knew. he said, it was
against the law to transport such
films in interstate commerce.

cussed with him plans to show the
pictures outside New Jersey. where

house.
Did he tell you Daugherty was
there?"
mo. He did not tell me who was
there. He said he was taking the
films to show at, a party"
Tells of Special Law
Rickard> said Muma "told me he
thought he could get a law passed
that would permit pictures to be
shown all over
What did Orr get out of the con-
tract?"
Twenty per cent. I made Muma
and Martin give him part of their in
terest when he came in because they
did not get a law passed and were
not delivering the goods
Rickard said he told Muma he
would not take the responsibility for
taking the pictures out of the State
OF New Jersey
Did he take 1t to Washington for
the purpose Of promoting legislation"
asked Wheeler.
NO"
Rickard produced a contract which
included himself, Muma, Orr, Quinby
and Martin.
DO you mean to say you went out
and violated the law all over the
country?"
"The disabled soldiers in New York
phoned me-"
Don't Hide Behind Vets
Now, don't try to hide behind the
disabled veterans" said Wheeler.
I'm going to tell you the truth"
insisted Tex. THE disabled soldiers
in New York phoned me and sent
men to see me saying they were
crazy to see the pictures. So I
brought the picture over from Jersey
and showed 1t to them. I intended
to take the picture back to. Jersey

The wage earners of Illinois believe in expressing their sentiments in a few words, as witness this statement re garding the labor injunction, issued by the Illinois Federation of Labor.

employers did their best to thwart ouf efforts
 We concur with the progressive farmer group in their program for the development of a national system of cooperative markets and resent as they do a national policy that resulted in the violent defation of the value of farm land and the prices of farm products so that thousands of farmers have been forced into bankruptcy through their inability to market these crops at a price which would give them a living profit. We are with
 them in their opposition to suddenly lifting the tax burden on wealth when the war obligations have not yet been materially diminished.
 We approve of taxation for social purposes, just and scientific tax that will not crush any section of our so- ciety, but which will affect some divis- ion of wealth, small but effective tha: will result in the greatest good for the greatest number.
