Experience the Best Teacher.

It is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use of the ex-
perience of others as we'll as our
own? The experience Of thou
sand persons is more to be depended
upon than that of one Individual.

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, Bourke Cochran, COM
ing at his own expense to make
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. 16:
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
gaIows on a tTumped-up charge, and
on the most brazen and cOntTadic-
tory testimony; and
Whereas, 1t has been proven that
the testimony of Estelle Smith,
Crowley and Mcdonald, used to con-
Wet Warren K. Billings, is a fiat con-
tTadiction to the evidence of Oman,
used to convict Mooney; and
