Then the judge began abusing Siss- man, saying that when the court had ruled in an earlier case that the girls could not be released on their ‘own recognizance that he had acted like a baby and had not gone on with the case. Sissman’s refusal to recognize the court’s ruling by acting in the former case had been for the sake of pro- The Court Routine, As each case was called the judge asked if any one was appearing against her. “What did this girl do?” q Trude would ask. “She was walking up and down.

"s counsel intimated a President of the United States was among them” and in a hot clash with Sen- ator Wheeler, demanded the right to go into the matter. Wheeler was adamant and tho it at one stage looked as tho he and Former Senator Chamberlain might come to blows, Daugherty’s lawyers were not permitted to open the question which the committee itself had decided not to go into because Daugherty was not involved. Her cross examination was re- latively brief and unimportant and her story was not shaken by Paul Howland’s questioning. The committee, before putting her on the stand, asked President Coolidge to order Daugherty to turn over files relating to gun-run- ning to Mexico during the Cantu revolution in 1921, which Daugh- erty is withholding on the ground Stinson finished, qu partment of Justice file clerk to learn why he had not furnished daily reports as directed by the committee, on data required in the inquiry.

President Coolidge today was requested formally to force Attorney General Daugh- erty to turn over to the senate committee investigating Daugh- erty the Department of Justice files on Mexican gun-running in 1921. This action was unanimously voted today in an executive session. A flat refusal by Daugherty to fur- nish the documents on the ground that it was “inimical to the public interest,” caused the committee to “go over his head” to the president.

That any attempt to utilize the emergency act in the present situa- tion will bring ynalterable opposition to the MacDonald government from all sections of the trade union move- ment is conceded even by govern- ment supporters. The second reading of the London traffic bill, which has divided the government forces, comes up in the house of commons today. Many lib- erals have refused their support of tthis measure as have almost all of the trade union elentent of the la- borites, and the government is de- pending, strangely enough, upon tory votes to save the measure. Even some of the tories are doubtful concerning the drastic provisions of the measure. Say Aids (Special _to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.— Senator LaFollette’s program j\for an independent campaign —completely apart from any party whatsoever—is matured \and has been put under way on a national scale. Organization has now progressed in some states as far as township and city precincts. This information, coming from a source close to the Wis- consin senator, bears out earlier forecasts of LaFollette’s in- tended course. In addition to these, they claim that the disturbed conditions of this unparalleled political year, they have a chance to edge in on Illinois, Ohio and even Pennsylvania. Already, the LaFollette workers have envisioned enough support, for him to prevent any one else obtain- ing the required majority in the elec- toral college. That would- throw the election into the house, where the vote is by states and a majority is required. The situation there is very close and the group of states where LaFollette is strongest would hold the balance of power. Should the house fail to elect and the matter go to the senate where the vote is by individual senators, LaFollette again would stand in the OUT WITH DAUGHERTY! |Soiy to him. 1” Oe NOE SPE picketing in spite of Dennie’s order not to picket. will be ministers in his reconstructed government and visited Millerand late this afternoon, informing the presi- dent that he would resume the office of premier.

Jennings said he got his informa- tion from Hamon himself. He and Hamon were intimate friends. Hemon told him long before the convention that Harding was to be nominated and that he (Hamon) “would be the biggest man in the United states.” The deal was finally concluded in a hotel room in Chicago the night be- fore Harding was nominated, Jen- nings said.
