WORDS OF WISE MEN

Most people would succeed in small things if they were
not troubled with great ambitions,
The conscious uerance of thought by speech action

We all love beauty at first sight and all cease to love

NEW YORK, June SOTO show

Disnisses Case of

The case of the DAILY WORKER
reporter, Karl Reeve, who was arrest
ed for distributing leaflets advertis-
ing the big exposes of the Western
Electric Company which were run in
the DAILY WORKER, has at last
been dismissed in the Cicero court.
The defense attorney Mandel
Shuchter, partner of Samuel Holland,
moved for dismissal. The prosecutor.
A. Boring, asked for continuance. The
debate before the judge wasted over
an hour.
The prosecutor brought in the
DAILY WORKER, entirely ignoring
the charge Of "disorderly conduct"
and attempted TO show that 1t was a
paper which abused" the constitu-
tional provision for free speech. The
defense lawyer pointed out that the
case had already been continued three
times and that further drawing it out
was quite unnecessary; so the Judge
granted dismissal.

Especial TO the DAILY WoRKER)
NEW YORK. June 3o.-The
pro-McAdoo statement issued by
the leaders of the railroad chiefs
brought Samuel Gompersfrom a
lying-in-hospitaI to make battle
for his particular capitalist cam
didate.
In order to prove that he was
in a hospital and also to excite
additional sympathy, he carried
a nurse in his encourage.
Gompers resents the inperti-
hence of a group of men setting
themselves up Independently of
himself in the business of selling
the labor vote to the highest
bidder.
This, in the opinion of Com
pers, is the prerogative of the
president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. If he is to
maintain his position as chief of
the labor lieutenants of capital
ism there must be no other gods
but him. The statement of the
McAdoo faction threatened the
Democrats with a Third Party
unless their favorite was nomi-
mated.
Gompers In Rejoinder.
AS soon as this statement was given
to the press, Gompers, who is Chair
man OF the American Federation of
Labor Non-Partisan Committee, imme.
diately called together his $50 neuten-
ants, hanging around the convention
as labor spokesman" for special
session at the Hotel Aberdeen, the

that: mo one has the right to speak

present at the Aberdeen sessions. His

bit and he was compelled to go back
