 Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Woods picked up q newspaper called the Daily Worker" which was found in the possession of tho two men, and as he scanned the front page he in formed Judge Traceski that it con- tained articles relative to organizing workmen. Vincent leaped to his feet and objected. T request the court not 10 admit anything which has no hearing on the case" he said, and Judge Traccskj ruled that his ohicc- tlon was well taken.
 Handbill Not Read
 Yars asked permission 10 aal Of ticer DotE to read one of the hand hllls, which contained announcement of q meeting held last Friday night. hut Judge Traceski refused 10 grant Inc request. That's all I wanted to ask the officer" Yaris said as he walked back towards his scat, but Judge Tracesl<i did not understand what he said and quickly demanded; Whats that?" Yaris raised his voice slightly and made it plain that he had only remarked that he had no further questions to put to the of ficer.
 Yaris, taking the witness stand. dc clarcd that it was very apparent that he and Vincent were not being held simply because they distributed leaf lets, but Judge TraccsN interrupted him 10 say that there was a definite charge against them and they were being tri,d on nothing else. Well. the very cxorbitant bond under which we were held shoWs'-Yar continued and Judge Traceski again told him to confinc his testimony to the charge to which he had pleaded not guilty.

 Reading the ordinance, 1arls claimed that only handbills which were used for commercial purposes were prohibited. The handbills in question. which he referred to as leaflets. did not advertise anything for sale, he said Sut Judge IraceSki told him they advertised meeting Yaris replied that there was no oth- CT way to call the workers togcth- CT as the "bosscs' would not permit the distribution of leaflets inside the factory gates.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked Yaris whether he was employed al so whether the collection taken at the meeting last Friday night amounted to Sl9.50. Garis quickly replied that the money collected from the workers" was used for legitimate expenses in connection with the meeting and any contribu- tors who cared 10 sec the proof could do so,
