I do not agree with the verdict
of manslaughter in the trial Of
Mrs. Grace Hubbard Fortescue,
Lieut.. Thomas H. MaSsie and
two Navy enlisted men.
Each and every one of those
unfortunate defendants should
have been acquitted, and &C.
quilted speedily. In fact, they
should never have been, in my
opinion, brought to trial.
Why All Quibbling
What's all this quibbling about
claw and order must be upheld?"
Where was the law in the
prosecution of the original Ala
Moana assault case, when that
young woman and wife was kid
naped, beaten, her jaw broken
and criminally assaulted?
Had there not been a gross
miscarriage of justice in Ht
case, the killing of Kahahawai.
accused of being one of her as
Sailants, would never have taken
place, and the mother and the
husband of Mrs. Massie would
not today be branded as crimi-
nails, facing imprisonment.
Would Have Done Same
Had I been in Lieutenant Mas
sizes place I probably would have
done the same thing as he. What
would any red-blooded man have
done under the circumstances,
when the thing they call law
failed so miserably?
If prosecution of the Ala Moana
case had been pressed with the
same vigor and energy as the
murder case, the story would
have been different. There would
not have been any murder trial.
The whole trouble which so
aroused the world goes back to
that prosecution-when those five
men charged with a terrible

"The convention will please come
to order"
Fifty-one times that has been said
by an American Federation Of Labor
president.
That is democracy at work in rela-
tion to the matter of jobs and wages
and conditions of work.
Many time Wall street has sat
up to take notice of what happened
after the gavel sounded the call to
order in such congress of labor.
1t is true that a great many dele
gates get up and say things of no
great moment.
1t is true that here, as in other
deliberative bodies, delegates make
speeches "for the record" And like
wise, that they introduce resolutions
for the same record.
They want the folks back home"
the well known constituency, to know
they were on the job.
Those that want to impress the
electorate" seek to land haymaker.
And that's OK, too. Why not :?
For. surely, in doing that, they try
to do what the home folks want done.
But there is this always to be add
ed. Along with the speeches and the
resolutions "for the record" there is
a solid fabric each year of serious
legislation for the great wage earn
ing masses Of the American natino.
Here is the body in which all the
legislation there is for labor is en-
| acted. Here is the only forum Of la
Dor. The unorganized cannot speak
or legislate. The left-wingers are not
movement; they are a sect. In the
conventions of the Americna Fedora
tion of America is to be found the
only voice of labor in America. It is
the supreme council, the last word,
the most authoritative utterance.
When the conventions of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor speak they
bear a profound meaning. They need
to be given ear. They must and do
command attention.
It is worthy of deep thought that
for now more than half century
labor has been meeting in these con-
ventions each year.
That's long record Of organized
effort. A lot Of water has gone over
the dam or somewhere in that time
Work-day reduced, machinery de-
veloped, chronological unemployment
has come, depressions have come and
gone, capped by the biggest Of them
all. And unions have come and gone,
leaving the whole movement always
little farther along the road, the
masses little better off.
American labor moves along, doing
the days Job, fighting the days bat
tie, moving ahead. Nowhere in the
world has its record been matched.
And so, ladies and gentlemen OF
America, will it continue to be, ene-
mics and opponents to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
| This great labor movement, whose
president has just said, "The conven-
ton will please come to order," can
hold up it's head in pride and look
forward in confidence. Progress Is
word whose meanings we are just
coming to comprehend in It's magnifi-
cent possibilities.
