Description

1 photograph postcard; Sepia postcard of Comrade Fred Warren, Socialist Editor who was convicted and sentenced by a Federal Court, U.S.A. "In conclusion, permit me to say that I am not asking the mercy or leniency of this court. I have committed no crime and there is festering in my conscience no accusation of guilt, but if my conviction and punishment will serve to rivet public attention upon the abuses which I have tried to point out, then I shall feel that I have not suffered this humiliation in vain.

"After all, this is the price of human progress. Why should I expect immunity? The courts have ever been and are to-day the bulwarks of the ruling class. Why should they not punish offenders against that class?"--Extract from Warren's Federal Court Speech. Paper, 10 cents. CHARLES H. KERR & COMPANY 118 W. KINZIE STREET, CHICAGO [Illinois]
