The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-17

Gallagher closed an entire
of bitter attacks upon the We
stating:
"In 1917, when this country found
itself in war and volunteers were
called, officers training camps were
organized, Aaron Sapiro was thirty
three years old, married and the
father of two children. He had a very
modest fortune.
Gas to whether or not he displayed
his duty as a citizen here, there can
be no dispute. When the first call
came"
Senator Reed, of Missouri, chief of
Ford counsel, objected, saying:
eff the court please, that is incom-
petent in that case," and was sus-
tanned by Federal Judge Raymond,
who ruled it might come in as evil
dence but not in the opening state
ment.
No Jews or X. X. K.

Gallagher Has His Day.
Attorney Gallagher, appearing
for the plaintiff in Aaron Sapiro's
million dollar libel suit against Henry
Ford, had his day in court. That is,
he did most of the talking today.
His main line of argument con-
sisted of placing in evidence various
articles in the Dearborn Independent,
Ford's newspaper, in which charges
we're brought against Sapirc that he
was part Of "ring" of international
Jewish bankers, plotting, with the aid
Of the Communists, the l. ". W., and
the Non-partisan League to reduce the
American banker to a servile state,
and outlining his refutation Of them.
Funny Charges.
Extracts from the articles, read out
in the open and subjected to merciless
flaying and dissection by Gallagher,
made Ford's accusations seem more
comical than ever.
Ford's charges that the Sapiro
group fostered Bolshevism in the
northwest were discussed at length
by Gallagher.
The criticism that radicals of all
shades have leveled against Sapiro's
"cooperatives" is that they are mere
middle class selling agencies, Of
corporate commission merchant type,
and as far removed from what a Com
munist or an 1. w. ". has in mind
as Lowden and Morgan themselves.
Big Politicians.
Gallagher attacked the matter Of
radicalism, however, from exactly the
other side, He offered to introduce
evidence to show that Sapiro's real
associates were neither radicals nor
Jews, but none other than cabinet
and Y. S. senators. Of gentle
blood.
We will show that such men as
Frank o. Lowden, former governor
OF Illinois and Secretary o. Agricul-
