curity for the appearance of the
strikers after their appeal had been
heard.
Sullivan Refuses Sissman's Bonds.
The judge refused TO accept Siss-
mans bonds after IIeBosky the
"tender hearted" told the court that
if any of the strikers failed to
show up he would be reluctant to
collect from Sissman.
Sissman assured him that all the
strikers would be on hand to an
swer after their appeal has been
decided and he was perfectly will
ing to pay up if the improbable hap
pened and striker was missing.
Sullivan turned down Sissman's
offer agreeing that il would pain
him immoderately TO be compelled
70 ask Sissman to pay If a striker
failed to appear.
The strikers who recalled the un-
provoked TRADE which Sullivan let
loose on Sissman last week smiled
at the hypocrisy Of the gent with
the tender dignity.

And again on September 8, 1921, in
the Tribune, in connection with the
election fraud cases:
Brother in Election Eraud.
This respondent (Robert E.
Crowe) is ready, able and willing,
now and at all times, to prosecute
any person or persons guilty of
crime regardless of the party or
faction, with which such person
may be identified.
On February 10, 1921, the Chicago
Daily News carried a report, repro
duced in part here, exposing various
election frauds, in. which the name Of
Sarsfield Grove, a brother of the
States Attorney, seems to have been
implicated, Was Mrs. Sarsfield Grove
prosecuted? Or did Mr.. Robert E.
Grove find him entirely innocent?
In 1920, both the Tribune and the
Daily News were loud in the denuncia-
ton of the supporters of Robert E.
Grove. Expose followed expose as to
the vice lords that they stated were
the backbone Of his campaign. A few
portions of these crying articles are
reproduced here. "Vice, Gambling,
Rampant near Home Of Grove,
POSTERS Tell Whom Vice Kings Aid,''
Groves Poster in Dives" and so
forth.
Who Pays Groves Bills?
Today, Mr.. Grove apparently has
additional advertising facilities. His
large posters and advertisements are
to be seen on Michigan Boulevard and
the Drive.
This advertising on a large scale
is expensive. Someone must pay for
this costly advertising. Mr.. Grove
certainly can't afford to pay for it
out of his salary Of less than $4,000
year. But contributions apparent
ly are not lacking. Indeed, it would
be singular if they were lacking con-
sidering the zeal which the states
attorneys office is showing in sup
porting the garment manufacturers
in the present strike.
Squanders County Money.
Hrs record in the fulfillment, or
rather nonfulfllment of the legitimate
duties and functions of his Office sup
ports no other explanation.
In the years 1921 to 1924, inclusive,
/ Cook County has appropriated for his
office no less than S2,133, 786.A7, an
average of over $533,000 a year; in
the four years preceding Robert E.
Groves incumbency, the county ap-
propriated S1,513, 065.S8, yearly
average of about $37S,000. 1t is thus
seen that the appropriations for the
present States Attorney were Al per
cent greater than for his predecessor.
In spite of these colossal increased
appropriations, criminals Of the most
vicious sort continue their depreda-
tions in ChicSgo practically UNI
molested. The February II, 1924, is
sue of the Journal carries the item
that altho there had been committed
270 murders in Chicago, there have
been only nine convictions.
Chicago Graft Ridden.
On October 6, 1928, the Herald &

! ficials arrested and brought in by po-
lice officers attached TO the states at
torney's Office, without any warrant Of
law, and then and there questioned
and examined them.
The courtesy" Of the states at
torney's Office was thus turned over
to this Dudley Z. Taylor. He could
interrogate any union official at will,
and examine such union records as
he pleased by merely sending forth
police officers and having them
brought in.
Taylor Runs Groves Office.
The vast ramifcations of the con-
troll of the states attorneys Office
which this Dudley E. Taylor exercises
can hardly be overestimated. His hand
is seen in practically every official
move which Mr.. Robert e. Grove has
made in any "labor case" MIR. Dud-
ley E. Taylor has acted as the attor-
Rey for the notorious Citizens Com
mittee to Enforce the lands Award.
The Citizens Committee in about two
years Of its existence has collected
fund, according to press reports, Of
no less than two and half million
dollars to carry on its fight against
organized labor. Mr.. Taylor is the
legal representative of the employers
associations and the manufacturers
associations, and he is the attorney
that has been instrumental in taking
out the present injunctions for the
Chicago Garment Manufacturers.
Arrests in Garment Strike.
It is therefore not at all startling,
in view Of these facts, to find Mr..
Robert E. Grove
ID Swelling the ranks of the
privately hired gunner by detailing
some fourteen police officers for
, duty in connection with the gar.
ment workers strike. These police
officers are attached to the states
attorneys Office to assist him in
the preparation Of cases. They are
in no wise to be used for ordinary
police duty nor are they to be
loaned to any employers organiza-
ton for the purpose Of breaking a
strike. Attic there were about 100
uniformed police officers assigned
for duty in the strike zone by the
police department, they made but
10 per cent of the arrests, while the
fourteen police officers from the
states attorneys Office in the same
area, made about 80 per cent of the
arrests;
(2) Making these wholesale ar
rests by his officers in an attempt
to injure the morale of the strik-
ers; and
CD Permitting on the part Of his
police officers brutal conduct to-
wards the striking Ladies Garment
Workers, the vast majority of
whom are women.
Hates Organized Labor.
These facts, as stated, are not
startling. Mr.. Grove has disclosed
his bitter prejudices against organ
lied labor on numerous occasions. His
"poorhouse or jail speeches, and his
keep them busy defending them
selves" speeches are clear and concise
condemnations Of himself, from his
own mouth.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-31

Examiner says the following editori
ally:
Chicago is graft ridden. Had
there been no bribery, there would
have been no beer murders. But
we still await in vain word or act
that would indicate an Investigation
of corruption by the states attor-
ney's Office, call for or a sugges-
ton of special grand jury, or any
other official movement to put the
grafters in Joliet. Tribute Of
$14O,0 a day!---and nothing doing
in the criminal court building.
Again, on March 5, 1924, the Trib-
une quotes Chief Of Police Collins to
the effect that
A nationwide syndicate of cri-
minals has made its headquarters
in Chicago. The most dangerous
of gunner have collected here. The
old arson ring, the pickpocket trust,
and confidence mems alliance and
the late beer running crews were
just Office boys compared to the
present aggregation.
Busy Hounding Strikers.
But Mr.. Grove is at present toe
busy bounding striking garment
workers to pay any attention to what
is fast becoming desperate criminal
situation in Chicago!
When he was prosecuting the So
called tabor cases." which arose out
of the daley Commissions inquiry,
he was on the lookout for special and
expert assistance. And he had nc
difficulty in getting the simply ap-
pointed one Of the Tribune lawyers
When the recent Duffy murders
were committed, and the "proben was
begun, and all indications. which even
layman could discern, seemed to
point to the fact thst desperate gangs
of criminals were apparently operat.

Mr.. Robert E. Grove looB around fol-
Especial and expert assistance 2" He
did not. He put part of the respons-
ibilty of investigating and prosecuting
this case into the hands Of one of his
youngest and most inexperienced as.
sistants. The job Of unraveling the
evidence in this important case was
entrusted to young man who STEP
ped out of the class room and into
the states attorneys ofice--a young
man who had just been admitted tc
the bar.
If Mr.. Grove was really serious in
his efforts TO clear Chicago of what
Chief of Police Collins calls a 'sNa.
tiOn-wide syndicate of criminals, ;
would he have assigned a person Just
out of school to tackle the problem
Dudley Taylor the Boss.
Mr.. Grove has other matters that
seriously concern him. He has to
deliver" to the employers and manu-
facturers' associations before election
He has to prove that he will "go
along"
In the upholsterers' trial it was
clearly brought out that Dudley E
Taylor,the attorney for the employers
association in that case, and the at
torney for the garment manufacturers
at the present time, had no difficulty
in having the upholsterers' union Of

not as a labor leader, but as
woman to woman. In spite of
the fact that Mother" Jones is
we'll past eighty she spoke with
the pep and punch of youth.
Joined to the pep and punch
was the wisdom of innumerable
years of experience.
This Strike Is War.
"This strike Of yours is war. It
is damned real war. You girls are
fighting and l want to tell you to
keep on fighting.
"Don't care about police in or
