MILLIONAIRES'
MURDER TRIAL
SEATS RESERVED
Franks Case Staged as
Exclusive Affair

When the sons Of millionaires are
being tried for the murder of the son
of another millionaire seats are at
premium To get past the barriers of
uniformed policemen into the Loeb
Leopold trial one must have credent-
ials from the police or have unusual
pull.
The DAILY WORKER reporter
watched the police turning away the
rank and file from the portals of the
Cook County court house yesterday
morning. Very few got past. States
Attorney Grove was giving his show
to an exclusive audience
On the sixth floor another battery
Of officers winnowed out more of the
curious so that by the time we were
required to rise to honor the gentle
man In q black gown there were still
seats to spare. OF all the millions who
are reading about the case hardly a
hundred persons are seeing the trial
for themselves from day to day.
Scientist Seeks Vengeance.
Ten o'clock, and in they come, the
millionaire slayers. A ripple of excite
ment follows, which bailiffs quiet. The
slayers take their seats with smiles to
friends and counsel. They do not smile
at the father of their victim. Robert
Frank, the millionaire pawn-broker,
looks at them with hate. He is a
Christian Scientist but is moved just
now by primitive spirit of vengeance
for which he is ready to spend his
money.
Plays to the Camera
Robert e. Grove, States Attorney,
takes the witnesses in hand. He turns
full on the audience and the shooting
camera men as he asks his matter OF
fact questions. Grove intends to make
this trial his ladder of political safety
and every bit Of publicity counts. BY
catering to the public's Hanging"
temper he hopes to get by the voters
once more, in spite Of his blackcrow
record Of labor-framing and strike
breaking.
Millions Against Millions
There is no class issue as between
the Leopold and Loeb forces on the
one side and Frank on the other seek
ing vengeance, with the aid Of the
states attorney. The big open shop
paper box factories Of the Leopold,
the rich Loeb fortune and the million
aire pawn broking business Of Frank
simply make possible a more sensa-
tional trial and direct more spectacu-
lar attention to the States Attorney
prosecuting it.
Fortunate For Crows
The conduct of the prosecution at
this stage involves little mental strain
on the prosecutors part-fortunate for
Grove who is not a great lawyer. His
witnesses are not cross examined by
Defense Counsel Clarence Darrow.
There is no sharp conflict of wits
needed, no Tightening intuition. The
questions are of a formal character to
put on the record certain facts which
the opposing side does not dispute.
The defense admits the murder, admits
everything except that the murderers
should be hanged.
Will they hang?
They are not friendless workers or
Negroes. Think over that and get your
answer.

ern Railroad carriers invited a group
negotiation between a Conference
Committee of Managers of the roads,
and the railroad unions, which the
brotherhoods accepted. After nego-
tiations were under way, the railroad
unions found they were being hood
winked by the managers, as the
Committee was not a committee of
the individual carriers authorized to
confer and decide disputes, but was
merely an advisory committee, with
out authority to decide disputes and
enter into an agreement"
"This joint conference, failing to
agree even on what the carriers
termed the establishment of prin-
ciples for the guidance Of managers
and Representatives of the employees,
was terminated by the committee rep
resenting the carriers. The represent
tatives Of the employees of the individ-
ual carriers then endeavored to re-
sumo legally required conferences
with the individual carriers which
had been interrupted by the interposi-
tion of the Conference Committee"
The Conference Committee, which
was without the power to decide the
disputes over wage agreements, then
wrote the Labor Board, conveying the
idea that they did have such power,
and requesting the Railroad Labor
board to take Jurisdiction Of the dis
pute."
Board Usurps Power.
without further information or in
vestigation concerning the propriety
of its action, the board on May IA,
1924, assumed jurisdiction upon its
own motion of the dispute"
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers declare their right according
to law to take UP labor disputes with
the railroad carriers direct. They say
the only authority the railroad labor
board has to take the matter up, or
to order the Brotherhood officials to
appear in such a hearing, is the au-
thority arbitrarily taken unto itself.
They charge the labor board with be-
ing partial to the carriers, and unfair
and biased toward the railroad
unions.

He spoke In a low voice to the other
geese. Instantly they stopped feed
ing and their long necks came up
straight as they looked at Honker.
He gave a low signal to Bwirn out
toward the middle of the Big Rive
Without question the others followed
him, although they had not finished
their breakfast. He was their leader
and they had learned. to trust his
Judgment.
When they were well out toward
the middle Of the Big River Honker
took TO his wings and the others fol
lowed. They flew down the Big
River. all the time getting higher and
higher In the air. Finally Honker
turned and led them back. very high
in the air. AZ they passed over tina {
drifting pile of rushes Honker looked
down. He looked down into a boat
with those rushes fastened all around
it. In that boat were two hunters
with terrible guns. They hadn't dared
to try to shoot those Geese from
Farmer Browns land, and so they
had thought to drift down on the
Big River near enough to shoot. But
for wise old Honker they probably
would have succeeded.
Once more IIonker turned, and the
others turned with him. Then he
headed straight South. II was time
for them to he on their way to their
Winter home. Potter Rabbit, who HAD
seen 1t all from a hiding place IN the
bushes on tho bank, heard them honk-
ing their farewell and understood
"Oh. | do hope nothing Will happen
to them and ttat they will come bac
again In tho Spring" said he.

This is a bad time OF the year for
persons with sensitive lips Raw,
vet weather is worse than dry cold.
worse even than the most intense
dry heat OF summer. In a dry cold
atmosphere the lips at least are dry
and less liable TO chap, but damp
weather has the same effect upon
them as though they were constantly
wet with the tongue while out-of-
doors, and YOU know how quickly
that habit wilF-Eaake lips crack.
There Is only one thing to 90 If
you want to avoid a painful. swollen,
ugly looking mouth. Buy greasy
lip stick and use 1t literally before
going out. Don't buy red lip stick,
that not only colors the lips. but is
apt to dry them, too since the col
ored sticks cannot be TOO greasy: If
they were the red would wipe off
too easily. There may be pallid days

when you want to give your mouth
the least touch OF red. but you don't
want to when the lips look dry.
BUY a white cream lip stick. You
can get them from 10 cents to 26
cents. They cost less than the price
of the Colored ones. They are made
OF a thick, sweet-tasting cream,
usually with little glycerin in, and
they form a thin, healing coating
over the lips which does not show
and which stays there until rubbed
of. It's an absolute protection
against the worst sort Of cold
weather.
1 advise this cream lip stick rather
than a cold cream, for cold cream Is
lighter In consistency, rubs of easily.

The lips sticks are SO cheap any one

Circular Flouncing of Gold Lace
BY MARY MARSHALL.

lavishly, never. was so much metal
used. never we're beads applied so
heavily, never before were colors
more rich or velvets softer and more
resplendent. And It may be that the
crest OF this wave OF magnificence
will be spoken OF as having been
reached in the year 1924. Certainly
our clothes cannot become much more
magnificent, fabrics cannot become
much more gorgeous.
There Is a certain simplicity about
all this richness and magnificence.
Gowns are made quite simply. AS
one great French dress creator re-
marked quite recently, this is a day
when extremely rich fabrics are made
into frocks of extremely simple
design.
This situation has both pitfalls and
advantages for the woman who
makes her frocks herself. There is
less actual labor involved In making
frock Of the present mode, because
of the greater simplicity of cut, but
there is need of good eye and con-
siderable precision in order to give
the proper line. Many of the shops
sell lace in the shape Of slightly
circular f1ouncing. and this Is of much
help TO the woman who makes her
own clothes. This may be used to
make a wide fiounce for the skirt, or
may be used in the form OF godets
on either side. In the sketch OF to-
day gold lace of this sort is used on
a gold lame frock. while the lace is
formed into a little yoke at the top.
