NEW PERJURY TO
HANG RENA MOONEY



Again, there is not single word
in all the five articles about the
action of Judge Franklin A. Grit
fin in requesting Attorney General
Webb to confess error before the
Supreme Court and ask for a new
trial for Mooney!
There is not a word in all these
articles of the judges and investiga-
tors statements, who handled the
Oxman matter. Their decisions are
not even mentioned in the "chro-
nology"
Hearst has injected himself into
the case, the brazen emissary of Big
Business. He doesn't want square
deal for Rena Mooney. He wants
to see her hang! His labor record
smells. His record as an American
is rotten. When bunch of foreign
spies are arrested, there's bound to
be employees of William Randolph
Hearst among them. That's a mat
ter of public record. Hearst has
been a traitor to every principle he
ever espoused that was worth while.
The Labor Jury
The entire staffs of the three pri-
vate detective agencies put in busy
night upon the secret work which
they politely class as Investigating"
the jury panel. They were enabled
to do this by the prosecutor stealing
the slips showing the jurors names
from the courtroom.
No one outside Of the Frame-Up
Ring knows what happened during
that night while the jury list was in
.he hands of the private detective
thugs. The stealing of the names
came after the court had ruled pub
liciy that neither side should know the
personnel of the panel.
But one thing is certain-if the tao
tics employed result in the convic-
ton of Rena Mooney, the verdict
will be spurned by American Labor
and all fair minded men and women
as unworthy of respect.
Foreseeing that danger impends of
monster injustice, the Oakland
Labor Council has taken quick ac-
ton to get Labor Jury" into the
courtroom to watch the proceed
ings, hear the evidence and give an
impartial verdict.
The names of the Labor Jury are
as follows:

Give Us Help
Far and wide in the daily and
weekly papers it has been pub
lished that Tom Mooney has been
saved from hanging by the exposure
of the frame-up. And TOM
MOONEY is NOW FACING DEATH
YIN NAIlJO w .. II II
is BEING TRIED WITH A NEW
SET OF GRAINED" WITNESSES
AND is ALSO SLATED FOR
DEATH! Two more trials, those of
Israel Weinberg and Edward D. No
Ian, are still to come.
The effect of the impression that
the danger is over has been to stop
the contributions to the defense fund
almost entirely. The defense is
now facing three murder trials with
an almost bankrupt treasury The
Chamber of Commerce has openly
placed it's one million dollar "anti-
union fund" at the disposal of the
prosecutor, to protect it's perjurers
from prosecution and secure more
perjury.
Funds should be rushed AT ONCE
