MOONEY LOSES APPEAL

San Francisco.-Thos. j. Mooney
has lost his fight in Judge Griffn's
court for a new trial under the old
English custom or common law of
cOram nobis (before us).
Under this practice a person could
appeal to the king for relief against
an injustice after he had exhausted
every court procedure. MONEYS at
torney's resOrted to this practice when
the state supreme court refused their
client a new trial, and now Judge
Griffin denies the plea of coram nobis
on the ground of statutory limitation.
1t is quite probable that Moneys
attorneys will carry the question to
the United States supreme court, if
they fail to secure relief from the
California state supreme court.

PIECE WORK LOWERS RATE

New York.-At the convention of
the national association of manu-
facturers the chairman of the indus
trial education committee suggested
to these busines men that they, and
not trade unionism, are responsible
for the limitation of output because
employers set a rate for piece work
and then cut prices when wages are
high. AS result the workers "stall'
or "slack".
"Our wage earners," says the re-
port, "are as wise as their employers
in these matters. So much of this
stalling is due to the workers know
ledge that if they produce more, their
rates will be cut, that we wonder if
the evil would not be substantially
cured if employers would make rates
with extreme intelligence, as a few
now do, and never cut a rate, unless
there is change in the process"
The above report is an acknowledge
ment that employers have not been
sincere when they declare that labor
refuses to work under top speed when
piece work rates prevail.

COOPERATION
is the Keystone in the Arch of
SUCCESS

Without cooperation there is con-
fusion, and confusion is the father
of waste just as necessity is the
mother of invention.
Cooperation is a fundamental of
progress.
The advertisers who patrOnize THE
LEADER cooperate with THE
LEADER in producing a news
paper worthy of the great cause
which it represents.
So the readers of THE LEADER
should cooperate by patrOnizing
these advertisers. That completes
the cycle and insures progress
and profit to all.
For THE LEADERS advertisers
are leaders in their lines.
RECIPROCATE! COOPERATE!
PATRONIZE THEM!

WE'RE GOING TO STICK NO MAT
TER WHAT HAPPENS
President GOmpers Defines Position
in War at Meeting in
Philadelphia

"We're going to stick, no matter
what comes or goes" was the declara-
ton of labor's position in the war,
expressed recently by Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Gompers was a speaker before the
Episcopal Clerical Club at a luncheon
given in the Church House, Twelfth
and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia.
Labor is ready to give everything
for the government; but it will give
nothing for private profiteering," he
said. He told Of the fight made by
labor against the effort to break down
the standards of work won through
so years of effort and the agreements
by which capital and labor have joined
to give best production during the
war.
"There may be some who look
askance upon such agreements" he
said.
"But they are few. | notice that a
new time is coming, when a new con-
ception of the relations Of men will
govern US.
"We are now answering in the af-
firmative the age-old question, Am l
my brothers keeper?'
"MOre and more we are realizing
in this country that when the burden
of the other fellow is too heavy, it is
our duty to help make that burden
lighter.
"Such things cannot be brought
nationally, orderly, gradually, through
a process of evolution.
at must come that way, or l fore
see revolution. l am willing to spend
the rest of my life aligned with or
derly, evolutionary methods as op-
posed to revolution.
"But if | thought there was no
other way than by revolution, I'd
join it.
"But | know from history that
every revolution has it's reaction on
progress.
81 am conservative in my demands,
but radical in my methods of fighting
to achieve them"
Gompers denounced the man who
mouths his loyalty and then joins in
propaganda against his country"

SOLDIERS MAY VOTE IF PLAN is
DEVISED

The question of taking the soldier
vote in France has been reopened by
the War Department, with the hope
that some way may be evolved to take
it which would not interfere with the
military efficiency of the army.
Secretary Baker indicated that any
state which devised a practical and a
workable way of collecting its soldier
ballots would be permitted to do so.

them from dropping their bombs. The
situation may perhaps be made clear
by the statement that If the Germans

lenses, the allies could not use it as

Mines In Channel.
After explaining that but very few
vessels were destroyed by mines Ad-
miral Sims brought the interview to a
close by replying as follows to the
question of why the Germans persist
in planting mines along the coast
Of the British Isles and along the
coast Of France:
THE mines are placed by subma-
rines OF a well known type. The mine
planting submarines carry from is TO
20 mines, according to the size Of the
vessel. and they can seldom be pre-
vented from planting their mines IN
any place they please where the area
is sufficiently open and the water SUI
ficiently deep. As they work unseen,
the allies can never be sure that any
particular channel is clear except i'm
mediately' after It has been swept by
mine sweepers-
The consequence is that. though
relatively few mines are being laid
by the enemy, all channels must be
continuously swept to make sure that
they are clear. The result is that the
laying OF this small number of mines
obliges the allies TO keep continuous

wait their opportunity to unload. and
as some must be repaired. it follows
that great delays would be caused oy
all remaining in port until the last
vessel was ready to sail It is there
fore the practice to send them off IN
smaller groups as soon as they are
ready. This necessitates, Of course, a
less powerful escort than If they all
went together"
In response to the question Of why
the allied navies did not attack the
bases where the enemy submarines
are fitted out and from which they
operate, rather than try to run down
the submarines after they are out IN
the ocean, admiral Sims said:
Why HeligOland Stands.
1T has frequently been stated by
amateur critics that If there were any
Nelson's among the allies they would
have taken Heligoland long ago, and
by the possession of this island have
prevented the German fleet from tax
ing the sea It is quite possible that
If there were any Nelson's, Heligoland
might have been taken. provided
however, conditions now were the
same as in Nelson's time But present
conditions differ quite fundamently
from those of Nelson's time. Heligo-
land is only about 30 miles away
from the German coast and it could
therefore be bombed with thousands
of bombs every night, bombs carrying
from $50 to 1000 pounds Of high ex-
plosives.
Experience has shown that there
is no adequate defence against such
night attacks. and this for the simple
reason that enemy planes can seldom
be seen at night in time to prevent

7 oNDON, Eng. Nov. 1s.-Because o.
l. the wages Of the American sailors
are higher than those of the British
and because the difference in purchas-
ing power results in added ice cream
sodas and candy. a feeling akin to
jealousy has sprung up between the
sailor sons Of Great Britain and Amer
lea.
This. in brief. was the humorous
statement made by rear admiral Sims,
c. S. navy. during an interview OBJ
tanned from him by F. ". Kellogg,
publisher of the san Francisco Call
No cases Of friction have come to
me except such as might be expected
between the individuals of a large
group Of men who associate together
in more or less restricted ports, SAID
the admiral There have been no
cases whatever Of a political complex
ion.
There have been cases OF purely
personal friction that have been
caused by purely personal reasons
There have been cases. I have no
doubt. where an American sailor has
cut out a British sailor in the af-
fections Of his girl. There may have
been cases where the British sailor
has been successful. In either case.
the difference would probably be set
tied in more or less boisterous man
flict"
In discussing the alleged difficulty
which Germany is reported to have
experienced in getting submarine
crews, the admiral said:
4 D. haa
any material difficulty IN this re
spect. but it is believed that the
crews of submarines have decreased
in efficiency. As recently stated in
the British press, 1900 submarines
have been destroyed and $50 subma-
rine captains have been inferred,
taken prisoners or killed Among
these are doubtless the majority of
more experienced captains. 1t is be-
Heved that in in the beginning OF
the submarine warfare the German
submarines were manned by volunteer
crews. It is now believed that few, if
any, Of the men are volunteers. Their
attacks are not as successful as they
used to be. It is believed that the
morale of the crews has considerably
decreased"
Protecting L. $. Transports
'Why are transports westbound not
so well protected as transports east
bound?" queried Mr.. kellogg.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, all transports westbound are
given as much protection as practi-
cable" replied the admiral IF there
were no particular hurry about get
ting American troops TO Europe it
would be possible TO give the outgo-
ing transports as much protection as
inbound ones This would, however,
involve all the vessels Of an incom-
ing convoy remaining in port until all
Of them had been unloaded. repaired

be taken off the European coast with
