ROBERT {. GROVE
STARTS ANOTHER
ELECTION STUNT
Fake Crime Hunt Does
Not Fool Criminals

Robert E. Grove, who has turned
over his Office to the Chicago Cham
Der Of Commerce for use in its open
shop campaign, has now on the eve
Of an election announced a great
campaign to clean up criminals.
This is the usual stunt Of the DO,
ltically and morally bankrupt poll
ticians VINO have sunk so low in the
estimation Of those who elect them
that they must continually create
artificial situations to get before the
public and be proclaimed heroes by
the capitalist press.
sewer-PiPe Propaganda.
1t Is reported around newspaper
circles that this stunt of Groves
has been planned by himself and his
hackers in conjunction with the Chi
cago Tribune snd Daily News, the
two main sewer pipes Of the Brun-
dage-McCormick- Lawson republican
machine. No doubt these papers will
carry columns for many days on the
great man-hunt headed by States
Attorney Grove.
He is out to arrest every MUIR
derer, burglar and gunman in town.
He should start with his own gun
men who are out in the dressmak-
ers' zone every day clubbing unson
workers and throwing them in jail
Is it surprising that murderers and
thieves should escape when the Off
Gals of Cook county seem TO be en-
tirely concerned with strikebreaking
activities? Boyle 0'Roche once said
"That no man could be in two places
at once unless he is a bird " Grove
is blackbird but even a Grove can
not be arresting strikers and appre-
hending criminals at the same time.
no more than he can be drunk and
sober simultaneously.
Arrests Strikers Only.
States Attorney Grove expects to
arrest rs persons before his great
campaign is over. He also declared
that robberies totalling $4,000, 600
would be cleared up. So far his
thugs have arrested more than rs
dressmakers but not one clothing
boss. We are Of the opinion rnat
If he wants to clean up robberies he
should start with his own Office and
end up in the local Office of the
Burns agency. Other unlicensed
operators may have gotten awav with
a few dollars. but he would prob
ably find tha bulk of the loot on the
persons Of the so-celled protectors
of the public.
Groves campaign is only an cleo
ton stunt.

This Prosecutor
Got Very Handsome
Fees on the Side

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, 1t has been dis
covered that A. l.. Schweitzer, pros
ecuting attorney here, has been
realizing handsome fees on the side
by private practice in addition to his
official duties for which he draws his
salary. Schweitzer and his assist
ants have appeared as attorneys in a
large number Of divorce cases since
they took Office, January, 1923. In
one case the records show Attorney
Phillipson, Schweitzer's assistant,
representing the plaintiff, and
Schweitzer the defendant. Section
722 Of revised statues Of Missouri
directs that: Prosecuting and cir
cult attorneys and their assistants I.

say his piece against the arguments
advanced by Sissman. Taylor said
that the injunction was predicated
upon the allegation of a conspiracy
on the part of the union to raise
wages and that any means used to
further that conspiracy however
lawful became unlawful when used
to further the conspiracy.
"Dennie'' Defies Supreme Court.
AS expected "Dennie" upheld the
position Of Dudley Taylor in face Of
the decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court and denied the right Of the
union to have a single picket on
the picket line.
Next the question of the injunc-
ton taken out by the Chicago Dress
and Skirt manufacturers association
was taken up. Leo LeBosky repre-
sented the bosses. Sisman tried to
have the injunction vacated on the
grounds that it was obtained on 'in-
formation and belief" and the APP
pellate court of this state has held
that that is not sufficient grounds on
which to issue an injunction. This,
too, was denied and the injunction
stands as originally issued.
LicIs Taylor's Boots.
The attitude Of "Dennie" was in
teresting to watch while the various
lawyers talked to the court. When
Sissman was addressing the judge
he sat with his eyes closed and
look of boredom on his sallow mug.
But when the famous union-fghting
Dudley Taylor rose to talk, the judge
sat up and listened with every sign
Of attention and respect.
It has not been announced if the
union will appeal the decision Of
"Dennie" on the injunctions.
