Desire to Throttle
Daily Worker Seen
In Action of Court

William F. Dunno, ]. Louis Eng
dahl, editors, and Bert Miller, Bust
ness manager of The DAILY
WORKER, were placed in $500 bail
yesterday in Essex Market Court in
connection with the charge of viola
ting section 1141 of the penal code
which is technically directed against
the publication of "lewd, lecherous,
lascivious, and disgusting matter"
Case To Be Heard April 18th.
Judge Brodsky, who presided, gran
ted adjournment until April 10, when
the case will be continued.
A poem, entitled America by
David Gordon, which appeared in the
magazine section of The DAILY
WORKER on March IL formed the
basis for the present attack on the
editors of the paper. When summons
were served last week by members of
the Bomb Squad, they declared that
the charges were inspired by "a we'll
known patriotic society"
Don't Like DAILY WORKER.
The proceedings in court yesterday
brought out clearly the fact that an
organized attempt to suppress The
DAILY WORKER is being made by
various wealthy and patriotic societies
cooperating with government agencies.
Against the paper there appeared, in
addition to officer Kelly, a represen-
tative of the Bomb Squad, who
pressed the charge, delegation of
counsel and officials of the American
Legion, District Attorney McWitter,
and Jacob Cash, president of the
American Patriotic Society and vice
president of the International Tailor
ing Co.
Charge Is Only Excuse, Says Defense
Joseph r. Brodsky, the attorney
who appeared in behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, in arguing for the dis
missal of the case, pointed out that
those making the complaint were not
interested in the charge of publish
ing "lewd, lascivious or salacious
literature" but that they were simply
using this section Of the code as an
excuse for an attack upon The DAILY
w OR X E r because it criticized
American institutions. This charge
was substantiated by the fact that
representatives of the patriotic So
cieties sought to introduce into the
case cartoons and other materials of
radical character, critical of the
U. S. Government and capitalist in
stitutions.
lrked AT Radical Book Publishing.
District Attorney McWitter asked
for adjournment of the case on the
ground that he wished to have more
time to investigate the post-office
rules and regulations in connection
with the distribution of the paper.
He also sought to draw The. DAILY
WORKER Publishing Company into
the case, apparently seeking to in
volve the right of this company to
publish other radical publications.

CHAPTER Nv

"All day I've thought Of you,
Adraste," said Damastor. "You run
in my head like a tune; whatever
less lovely goes on round about me,
I can always be silent and listen"
II like to hear you say so, Damas-
tor. How wonderful you are, with
a pretty speech every time we meet.
and never twice the same! To me
you are a picture, not music; I
dream of you-dreams so lively, I
almost fear the household will see
what see, and know my secret"
What do you see, Adraste?"
do you ask, my lover?.
Damastor, your lips are cold! Poor
boy!"
Come farther into the shadow,
Adraste-they will see us If we walk
in the moonlight. I never saw such
a great moon. Here, we can sit on
this garden bench, and talk in
peace"
There never was such moon,
Damastor, but if I could I'd have it
brighter still, and everybody here to
see us walking in it. Our happiness
is too beautiful to hide. I'm so
proud of you, Damastor.
Damastor, do you love meas you
said?"
at love you more, AdraSte, oh SO
much more! Don't you feel it, how,
much I love you? Do we need
Words?"
IT like you tell me, Damastor;
nobody could tell it as you can.
When you first told me you loved
mel shall never forget how you
told mel"
"Adraste, I don't recall a single
word. What I remember is the
silence afterward. I was so afraid
there might be some one else you
cared for already, and you managed
to let me know there was some one
and just as I felt ready to die, I
found out I was the one, after all"
Eyes, goosey, you found out! I
had to tell you"
"Adraste, do you remember the
first time we met-that is, to meet?
When my mother asked me to go
for the jar of water, and asked you
to help me, and you came along so
demurely?"
"Your mother wouldn't ask me
now to help you, would she? Do
you remember that next time, when
Helen brought me to your mothers
house, and your mother sent me to
the other end OF the garden, and so
arranged it herself, without mean
ing to, that you came out and talked
to me?"
do I remember? My mother will
never be the same person again, we
gave her a shock. Adraste, she still
thinks I hadn't met you before; she
insists she never asked you to help
with that water-jar."
Damastor, have you thought out
any plan for us yet-what we're to
do?"
81 think Of it all the time, Adraste,
and the best thing still seems to
wait a little longer, and keep our
happiness, our happy secret, to our
selves. We couldn't be happier than
we have been, and are-could we?"
"Damastor, my dear lover, it's a
happy secret, as you say-but
can't keep it much longer"
"You mean-you mean"
"Of course I meant There, don't
be SO frightened. I told you before,

He Couldn't Sleep;
Stomach Hurt So
Back Ached for Years. Finally Found
Relief. Perfectly Well Now.

Friends of Mr.. Henry Remillard,
294 N. Dearborn ST., Bradley, ILL.,,
were recently surprised by his sud-
den return to good health. He ex-
plains it as follows:
For many years, had chronic
indigestion, and for the last six
months, 1 never knew what 1t was
to have a good nights sleep, my
stomach hurt so. 1 had gas and
bilious attacks whenever tried to
eat, and my heart palpitated so
could hardly breathe. My kidneys
were weak, and I had terrible
headaches and pains In my back. I
was constitpated, felt tired and
WORKOUT all the time, and was
absolutely discouraged. But new
hope came to me the day I started
taking Viuna. 1t promptly gave me
the help I needed, and today can
hardly realize that I was ever so
sick. My stomach never gives me
a moment of trouble, and sound
sleep is surely a blessed relief. The
gas pains, biliousness, and shortness
of breath are all gone. am rid OF
the headaches and backaches, and
feeling splendid in every way. I
owe my health to Viuna, and can
never. hope to praise it enough"

bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. In
