Title	Thomas, Elizabeth H. 1913-11-26
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on MILWAUKEE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY letterhead, 11/26/1913. Writes that Victor Berger and H. W. Bistorius have been found guilty of libel by a jury packed with "Knights of Columbus, Ancient Hibernians and Militia of Christ men" and ordered to pay $17,500 in damages. Says that the suit was instigated by the non-partisan City Clerk who had been charged with graft by the MILWAUKEE LEADER. Remarks that despite the fact that a judge found the City Clerk guilty of illegal practices that the jury, out to kill the MILWAUKEE LEADER and stamp out socialism, found for the plaintiff in the libel suit. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the MILWAUKEE LEADER will fight this decision to the "last ditch" especially since the newspaper does not have the $20,000 necessary to pay the damages. Informs Eugene V. Debs that the newspaper cannot ask the workers of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to give their hard earned money to cover these costs since they already gave so much of their money to start the paper. Says that the MILWAUKEE LEADER has no choice but to ask for outside funds. Writes that the plan is to have comrades from around the country purchase bonds to help the MILWAUKEE LEADER through this emergency. Asks that Eugene V. Debs write an appeal to the members of the Socialist Party requisition funds for this purpose.
