PUBLIC PRESS IGNORES EXPOSE
in MOONEY CASE.

st. Louis, Mo.-Labor's repeated COM
plants against the public press is re-
called by William M. Reedy, editor of
keedy's Mirror, who notes the silence
OF the average newspaper in the Moo
ney case.
1T is with a distinct shock" saws
Editor Reedy, that one gets from the
labor and weekly press, and not from
the great dailies, some of the real news
OF the labor war that has been going on
IN San Francisco for several years, and
which has eliminated in the sentencing
OF Thomas j. Mooney to death and an
other man to life imprisonment.
While the statements of both sides
to the controversy should be accepted
with reservation, in knowledge of the
exceedingly bitter war that is being
waged in that city between organized
capital and organized labor, it does seem
remarkable that such trial with such
sweeping charges and counter charges
should have occurred without the coun-
try knowing scarcely anything about it..
Now one OF the main witnesses for the
state has confessed that he was bribed,
or at any rate an attempt was made to
bribe him. The labor leaders make
many other charges of plants of evil
dcnce and subornation and sequestration
OF witnesses, to which no satisfactory
reply has been made. AT any rate, the
charges of 'frame-up are positive and
sweeping enough that one feels that
justice will miscarry if these men are
not given new trials. The great bod,
OF damning charges made by the labor
people should then be thoroughly sifted
In the meantime, what of that pal
ladium of our liberties the daily press
1t has either ignored the whole matte
or minimized it as much as possible 1t
attitude in these cases seems to 'justif,
the designation hurled at it by labor
the 'capitaistic press"

usual manner of blouses, It's seams are
hemstltched, sleeves plain and roomy
and, so far, all the details OF Its con.
struction are oil like tried old friends
with whom we have long been famil-

Of this blouse thought Of adding nm
organdle collar and cuffs made of a
fine organdle edging, and of shaping
the collar In u new way. Furthermore,
the dainty embroidered edge OF the
organdie Is lifted into prominence by a
narrow border Of black organdle.
The collar Is high at the back and
rolls at the front, the wiry texture of
the material making this pretty adjust
ment to the neck possible. The cuffs
are simply lengths Of the embroidered
organdle, turned back and fastened at
the top with single pearl button. The
means by which its maker arrived mt
such good ends in this blouse are the
simplest. But the touch of sheer black
in collar and cuffs is original and fine
