For criticizing the chjeno-piast government

Two trials took place in Warsaw — of the editor of "Hołos Praŭdy," Mr. Stpiczyński, and of the editor of "Robotnik," Mr. Borski. They were accused of excessively sharp criticism of the government of Premier Witos, a government so beneficial to the country. The first had as many as 2 confiscated articles, the second 8. The court sentenced both to 3 months in prison for "disrespect for authority."
