Chiroprac tor Is Not Member of Rad ical Labor Party The case of the state against Dr. A. Slaughter, well known Salem chropractor, who was arrested Feb ruary 6 by agents of the department of justice, and charged with violat ing the state syndicalism law. was dismissed -yesterday afternoon, after the court was convinced that the de fendant was nor a member of the communist labor party. This was the first case of its kind to be tried in the courts of Marion county. Dr. Slaughter was charged with being a member of the com munist party, an alleged radical or ganization, and that he had contrib uted money for its support. The first part of the trial was hearu Tuesday afternoon, when most of the time was consumed in reading long messages and papers found in the possession of Dr. Slaughter. In rendering an opinion of dis missing the case the court said: "After careful perusal of the doc umentary evidence submitted in this case relating to the. program, plat form and constitution of the Com munist labor partyi and or the fact that the case hinges on two ques tions, whether the Communist labor party advocates the use of violent force to gain political ends, and whether the defendant is a member of that organization. The court is of the opiaion that the Communist labor party does advocate force and violence in furthering its political ends and that Dr. Slaughter, defend ant in this case is not a member of the Communist party." Judge I'nruh then declared that although Dr. Slaughter probably contemplated affiliation with the party, bis acts were hot sufficient to bear out the-charge of' the prosecu tion. Dr. Slaughter testified that in the interest of the socialist organization of the city he had attended the na tional socialist convention in the east about a year ago. when the Com munist labor party was first given birth. His opinion of the two parties separately Is that the Communist party "is what might be termed the ultra radical element." and the Com muist Labor party the "progressive wing." Dr. Slaughter was defended by I H. McMahan who made many start ling statements regarding the Com munist and Communist Labor par ties. Prosecuting Attorney Max Gehlhar acted in behalf of the state.
