His action is in the nature of a demurrer. He files no jreturn, makes no reply to the charges, by lly admits that the cbarges contained in. the complaint are cor- rect, but 4 ly “contends that they do not suffice to form a basis for ac- tion.

The failure of the campaign against the referendum, which was itself one fof the most signal defeats received by the league leaders, was responsible for the decision that, is reported to have been made. Instead of a bully- ing-campaign, such as was conducted lagainst the referendum petition, it is junderstood that the workers are go- ing out on the ‘ “gumshoe” basis.
