Anyone acquainted with the history of the Tom Mooney case, will recognize your article in the Sept. 30 issue as grossly unfair and biased. Every sentence in it was adroitly written to convey an impression erroneous to the truth. . . .

Three years later Baush marched into court with a bill of particulars, accusing Aluminum Co. of nearly every unfair business practice imaginable. Baush asked $3,000,000 in damages, $6,000,000 punitive penalties under the Anti-Trust laws. After a three-month trial, a New Haven jury gave Aluminum the verdict. On appeal Baush won a retrial...
