RUTHENBERG ASKS
 VERDICT DROPPED
Attacks COnstitutionality of Michigan SyndiCaliSm Act

Lansing, Mich, Sept, 19.-Charles E. Euthenberg, under conviction on a charge of violating the Michigan anti-syndicalism act, today filed a Brief with the state supreme court asking that his conviction be set aside. His brief contends the anti syndical act is unconstitutional.
 Ruthenberg with Is others was ar rested when federal and local off, cers raided a convention of the communist party near Bridgeman, Berrien county, in August, 1922. Six ty others alleged to have participat- ed in the meeting but who were not apprehended in the raid were in iicted with Ruthenberg and his com panions. The list includes William z. Foster Rose Pastor Stokes, Ben Gitlow and others. Ruthenberg and Foster were tried in the Berrien cir cult court. Ruthenberg was con- victed and the jury n Fosters case disagreed. Foster will probably not be re-tried nor will any of the other AANA1Ath ptAspiio bldNtu until the supreme court has passed on Ruthenberg's appeal which will be heard, it is expected, in the Octo- Der term of court.
 The conviction in this case can- not be upheld without doing vio- fence to the basic principles of our law" the brief declares Tt is measureably of greater social inter- est for this court to uphold the in tegrity of the law--to declare that our constitutional and criminal law does not mean one thing for com munists and something else for oth- ers-than it is to pronounce a sen tence3 of outiawry Sipon the com munisis and communism.
 Prosecutions of this nature are 1 inhertntly at odds with our juris-

prudence. The Michigan criminal statute is one of the floor of similar laws enacted in response to the 'anti-red' hysteria provoked by the Russian revolution. Only on the Pacific coast have these laws been invoked to any extent, against the I. w. w. Convictions under crim- inal syndicalism and criminal anar- chy statutes, even in cases charging direct advocacy of the offensive doc trines, have been sustained by the high courts of only few states.
 This is the only instance within our knowledge in which a reviewing court has been called upon to con- sider the felony of assembling"

Chemical Industry
As Nations Support



Toronto Ont, August :. a. p. by
Mail)-That the whole existence OF
the State might depend on. the main
tenance OF fiourishing and efficient
chemical industry. was the statement
OF Sir Robert Robertson in his presi-
Dental address TO the chemistry sec
ton of the British Association for
the Advancement OF Science today.
Sir Robert, who is an authority on
the chemistry Of explosives described
the more or less direct assistance
given by chemistry to the various
governmental departments in Great
Britain as they came into being.
Only in recent years. he said, and
as result of the war. has there been
direct recognition az a correspond
ing obligation on the part OF the
state TO assist chemistry"
The interests of the state which
are most intimately bound I'D with
chemistry were listed by Sir Robert
as defence, in which are included
explosives and chemical warfare,
metaHurgy. revenue. health and agri-
culture.
Sir Robert described how Brit
$500 ~A~hASAG. ooE Ale var. Sue
ceeded in producing gas masks sec
ond TO none in protective efficiency.
Enormous quantities of phosgene.
mustard gas and other Substances
used in gas warfare were manufac-
tured in the face of great difficulties.
Some of these compounds are now
finding a use as fungicides and in
secticides.
Referring TO chemistry and the
health department the speaker said
that foods. drinks drugs. air and
water constitute the subdivisions in
which the services Of the chemist are
essential There is nothing in Great
Britain" said Sir Robert, CORES
ponding TO the series ~ food definI-
lions and standards which exist in
some OF the dominions. and Especially
in the United States. Standards,
however, have been fixed, for milk,
water In butter and margarine. but
ter fat in margarine. ard a few other
products. The state is also active in
matters pertaining TO the contamin-
alton Of the atmosphere and rivers.
and on this account. smokeless fuel
is now being given much attention.
The war brought about the recog-
milton by the state that IL Is under an
obligation to assist science" Sir
Robert said in conclusion. ~and In
1915. the Department Of Scientific and
Industrial Research was founded in
England. Its principal aim has been
TO assist firms In an industry TO CO.
operate in employing a staf Of scien.
tiic men to solve their problems and
TO assist other government depart
ments. to organize applied research
and to foster pure research Az a
result, research associations have
been organized for textiles rubber.
