These are some OF the QueS-
tons to be discussed in this
series of articles in the Star
on the critical question of a
free press in America.
IN A STATE renowned for
its vigorous struggles over a
free press, an intense conflict
is now taking shape over the
Chicago Star.
After a year and a half of
publication, the Star this week
goes into court to fight $780,
600 .suit for suppr S 10 n"
brought by Elizabeth Dilling,
shrill foe of anti-fascists.
In large measure the an
swer 10 Dilling will come from
100000 Chicago trade urion-
lists who are members of un.
ions which have endorsed the
Star and consider the paper
theirs.
!. This week they embarked on
a drive to raise $4,000 to sus.
tain the Star.
THE ATTEMPT to suppress
the Star is part of century
old Highland yet it contains
elements of something new.
It was 10 years ago that
man named Elijah Lovejoy
fought a pro-slavery mob in
Alton, Illinois, in an effort to
sustain his abolitionist paper,

After three of his printing
presses were destroyed, Love-
joy was himself stoned to death
trying to prevent a fourth press
from being shattered by the
mob.
Since then, the suppression
of the peoples press has gone
on relentlessly, taking less vio-
lent but even more effective
forms.
SINCE 1897, the press has
become Big Business. It has
become concentrated in the
hands of a few press lords.
Thousands of papers have been
pu1verized financially, frozen
out, bought out and forced into
bankruptcy.

a sour joke. Anyone is free"
