Dear Sir:
j On page foup in Tuesday’s Batt
there is this statement: “Insects

Answer: If you don’t know that,
J. W., you’re just' a .• biological
smoe. Even the most! 'illiterate
knows why: I do.
An insect doesn’t die like a hu
man. That is, it isn’t aj matter of
rigor mortis setting inJ When the
insect dies, a haemeogbrical pro
cess begins whereby the insect’s
blood hardens, forming a dense
clot in. the top of the body, just
under the cotton (the hard cover
ing on the insect: his skin). This
clot raises the center >of gravity,
thus overbalancing him and turn
ing him over on his back.

Injustice, Politics, Murders
AH in Fast’s The American’
By ALLEN SELF
The Atperican, a Middle Wes
tern Legend. By Howard Fast.
(Duell! Sloan & Pearce*)—
In the annals of U. S. injustice,
the conviction of eight radical la
bor leaders of bomb-throwing in
Chicago’s Haymarkef' Square
stands along with the Sacco-Van-
zetti case. Howard Fast, in light
historical novel form, traces the
life of John Peter Altgeld, gover
nor of Illinois who pardoned the
three remaining offenders, and
ruined a brilliant political career.
Chicago in the later part'of the
10th century was a sprawling giant
the rail terminal of the midwest
and stockyard for the nation. The
slaughterhouses of Armour, Wil
son and Swift bludgeoned men, as
Well as pigs, and cattle, by low
wages and long hours.
The meat fcmd rail barons fought
labor- organization with the dread
Pinkertons, the injunction, and all
violence possible. And when alv'ut
800 workingmen assembled in Hay-
market Square one rainy night to
demonstrujtc for the eight-hour day
two hundred Chicago police at
tacked thetu with guns and clubs.
During the melee, & bomb was tos
sed from somewhere, fatally woun- -
ding a policeman and injuring sev
eral others.
Arrests started the next day,
and a roundup of all known labor
"agitators” was completed. From
these, eight men were indicted
for murder, ouickly tried by a
prejudiced jua
sed jury
were hung
ed. t
The free press was singularly
aroused by tho trial, and demand--
cd swift justice for the “anarch
ists.” It was never proved that
those convicted had actually thrown
th]D bomb. Some were not evetfin
the area. That they were labor
“agitators” was enough.
Such was the situation confront
ing John P. Altgeld when he as
cended to the governorship from
a minor bench in Chicago. While a
judge, he had played along with
Phil Armour, George Pu T man and
their crowd, and profit^ ,. He ius-
tified this by one won.—“politics.”
But when petitions came to him
from the liberal elements, from
the labor groups, and he had ex
amined the trial records, Altgeld
saw that justice had been miscar
ried. He alone could repair the
damage by an unconditional par
don of those still alive but impri-
ifoned.
Altgeld knew what the conse
quences of the pardons would be—
his political and personal destruc
tion at the hands of the vested
interests, the controlled press, and
a people convinced that labor Un
ions and anarchy arc th# same
thing. 1 -J . ' '' V'
True to conscience and convic
tions, Altgeld thsued the pardons.
TVe result was as expected, and
the pre$s hurled accusations of
“destruction of law and order,”
“anarchy,” and "socialism.” Alt-
geld was ruined, and died a bro
ken man for daring to express
ideas ahead of his (ime.
Much of the book is concerned
with Aitgeld’H background as a
. farm tvorker, railroader, school
teacher and lawyer, ‘ and how he
made millions from nothing. It is
well done in a jight and easy map-
