MEETING PLAIN
What's the noise about? Why is
the Chicago labor movement going
to hold a recOrd-breaking mass
meeting Sunday at p. m. in the Col
iseum? Why pay $1,000 rent for a
Sunday meeting? Why is the New
York lawyer, BOuTke Cochran, COM
ing at his own expense to make a
speech to Chicago wOrkingmen?
The answer:
Out in San Francisco two men are
in Jail, one under sentence to be
hanged and the other sentenced to
prison for life, for the crime Of
throwing a bomb into the prepared
ness parade. Three more men are
to be tried for the same Offense and
all predictions are they will be con-
victed if the same kind of evidence
is used as in the first two trials.
All five of these men to be hanged
or sent up for life-if the program
goes through-are labor organizers,
active, aggressive, fighting men, who
have helped build the militant San
Francisco labor movement
The San Francisco Labor Council
unanimously passed resolutions
Feb. 10:
Whereas, In the recent trial Of
Tom Mooney, a member in good
standing in the International Mold
ers' union for the past IA years, he
was convicted and is in imminent
danger of being railrOaded to the

downs Of it, how it works, will be told
by him in detailed arguments Sun

Mooney gives some indication how
he feels:
Il think it can be shown clearly to
all reasonable men that we are in
the presence of another Dreyfus

ton of the very crimes. which courts
are organized to prevent, was exclu-

object Of your prosecution for a
crime repUgnant to every element of
your nature, is to drive IabOrers from

had the temeTity to urge some of his
fellows to form unions for their own

lacking the prosecution and court
which tried him was made public
