...comparative table it appears that while wage earners make 77% of Chicago's total gainfully employed population, they comprise 67% of the gainfully employed church members. It would appear that professional people join the church in greater proportion to their total numbers than any other vocational class; that clerical workers come next, that skilled workers follow; then comes the businessman, and last, with about the same general average as the business man, comes the unskilled worker...

Verses in this vein, appearing in the Communistic Daily Worker, induced one David Gordon also to write a poem. He called it "America," and in it, by crass terms, described the Goddess of Liberty in New York Harbor as looking down upon a land where liberty no longer thrived. So vile did three New York judges think the boy's phrases, so indecent his imagery that they would not excuse his adolescence. Last week they ordered him to the reformatory for 13 months. Three other judges had already sentenced Editor William F. Dunne of the Daily Worker...
