...statements referred to appear in your issue of Sept. 11 under Crime and subtitled "A.B.A. and Federalization." I cannot agree with your blanket charges against lawyers practicing criminal law. To be frank, they are very inaccurate and unfair. The editor will find after due investigation that the overwhelming majority of lawyers who practice criminal law are high-classed and ethical lawyers. I am sure he will also find such eminent lawyers as Hon. Martin W. Littleton and Frank Hogan on the membership rolls of the American Bar Association.

...five-day week for nearly a year, also signed (but not its big brother Chicago Tribune). Said the News in an editorial: "We do not think that the free press argument is a very noble excuse for paying your office boys $13.50 a week instead of the blanket code's $15." Likewise the Milwaukee Journal signed, hired 57 additional employes, increased its yearly payroll by $100,000, roundly flayed the A. N. P. A. for its "plea for special privilege." A cursory survey by Editor & Publisher tradepaper found about 50 signers, estimated hundreds more...
