Ryan, president of the In- ternational Struotural Iron Workers, were brought here three months ago from cities scat- tered from Boston to Los Angeles to within 36 to be the most important trial of its kind ever held in a federal court. The jury, to be asked to return a separate verdict for each defendant, is composed entirely of farmers or mer. chants from rural districts of Indiana. Jury Will Be Out at Least a Day. The fact that the jury must vote on each defendant after censidering the testimony the court holds applicable to him, is the basis for a Dbelief that verdicts will not be returned in less than a day.

The government contends that the penaities for the offenses charged are cumulative in the discre tion of the count—or a total possible penalty of 301-1 years. DR.
