Note 302 — Chapter IV · LEGISLATION AGAINST SEDITION AND ANARCHY

N. J. Laws, 1908, c. 278; the cases construing it are given in Appendix V. The possibilities of the misapplication of even such a narrow statute are shown by State v. Scott, reversing a conviction for an intemperate newspaper attack on the brutality of the Paterson police; and by the dissenting opinion in State v. Quinlan because the defendant was prejudiced by the elaborate inquiry at the trial into the doctrines of the I.W.W. For the comment of an I.W.W. on these cases, see the quotation from E. G. Flynn in Herbert E. Cory’s The Intellectuals and the Wage Workers, N. Y., 1919, p. 208.
