in England and Wales with population
of over 100000 each there were lls,267
convictions in 1913 and 52.7s3 in 1916. Of
these 9S,115 were men and 1882 were
women in 1918, and 36,711 men and 1902
women in 1916. In Glasgow there were
5,S63 convictions during the first four
weeks of 1915 and 3,l53 for the same
period in 1917. Deaths due to alcoholism
in England and Wales decreased from 1881
in 1913, to 953 in 1916.
The Liquor Board in its latest report
says: There has been a heavy, rapid
fall in convictions for drunkenness which,
following upon the operation of the boards
earlier orders, has been again consistently
maintained. Incidentally, it may De noted
that this fact goes far to invaildate the
suggestion that the sudden fall in the con-
victions for drunkenness IN the areas
mentioned have been largely due to the
withdrawal of men for the army.

The labor administration was broken

thereafter turned to "drect action in

which led to the blowing up of the Los
Angeles Times Building was nationwide
conspiracy, and though the two McNam-
aras were the agents Of a group of iron
workers in an Eastern city, many of the
conferences which preceded the crime were
held in San Francisco.
All these threads are woven into the
fabric of the Mooney case. No one has
limited that Thomas Mooney or Mrs. Rena
Mooney were involved in "The Los An

San Francisco labor leaders, charged with
a dynamite crime. Mooney is also said to
have incurred the enmity Of the United
