MIR. POINDEXTER
DAMNS TOM MOONEY

In reply to the Carpenters Union
of Seattle, asking that he back up
President Wilson in urging Gov
ernor Stevens of California to grant
clemency to Tom Mooney, Senator
Poindexter said;
81 have your telegram of recent
date and note your position in re-
gard to the Mooney case. have
investigated it very thoroughly and
cannot join you in the movement for
his pardon One guilty of the
crime which he undoubtedly commit
ted is not deserving of clemency.
What are you going to do about the
people that Mooney killed, and their
families? Also what as to those
that he advised others to kill, and
no doubt he will continue to do if
he is discharged, as | notice from
the statement of his best friends he
advanced this doctrine"
Mr.. PoindeXter says Zone guilty
of the crime which he undoubtedly
committed is not deserving of elem
ency."
There may be no doubt of the
guilt Of Tom Mooney in the mind
of Mr.. Poindexter, but there is
grave doubt of his guilt in the
minds Of President Wilson; President
Wilson's Mediation Commission; Hon
Bourke Cochran, who defended him;
the Irish World, and the San Fran.
cisco Bulletin, which papers made
thorough investigation of the case
with every facility for getting at the
facts; hundreds of other newspa-
pers, including the Seattle Star;
Hon. N S. Webb, Attorney General,
of California; the police chief and
detectives of Oakland, Cal; and
Superior Judge Griffin, before whom
Mooney was tried, and who certainly
made as thorough investigation of the
case as did Judge Poindexter; to-
gether with many thousands of men
and women in two hemispheres.
Mr.. Poindexter may be a wise
Judge and a great statesman in the
minds of many beside himself, but
there is grave doubt of his infalli-
bility of judgment in the minds of
many who are also credited with
wisdom and have achieved great
ness.
Can it be possible that man like
Miles Poindexter claims to be and
has been credited with being is
so unfair as not to favor giving
this man Mooney a new trial when
so many men believe him innocent
of the crime with which he is
charged?
Or does Miles Poindexter's thirst
for Moneys blood and nothing but
the infliction of the death penalty
will satiate that thirst?
Mr.. Poindexter's answer to the
Carpenters Union, of Seattle, will
not dispel so much doubt as to
MONEYS guilt as it will create as
to the sources of information which
caused him to form his cocksure
judgment

PHONE WORKERS
GET CLOSED SHOP

The British Columbia Federation
list, of last Friday, gives the fol-
lowing account of the electrical bat
tie now being fought in Vancouver;
At rousng meeting held Sunday
afternoon in the Labor Temple the
Electrical Workers decided to pull a
strike on all the utility plants Mon
day at II midnight. This action
was taken after it was made clear
that the firms would not sign the
new schedules.
In the case of the b. C. Telephone
Company, the scale has been agreed
to, but the men conceded that the
time was ripe to stand out for the
closed shop, so the men decided to
force the issue On Monday Su-
perintendent Bollschweiler approach
ed the committee and agreed, that
inasmuch as the men practically had
closed shop that it would not pay
the company to create bad feelings,
so he would sign the agreement for
the closed shop. Everything having
been settled satisfactorily to the
men, there was no walkout as far as
this company was concerned.
The company had also agreed to
the schedule presented by Local TIA,
Telephone Operators Union. It
calls for a scale as follows: First
six months, 50 per day; second six
months, $2.15; second year $3.50;
third year, $3.50; fourth year, $275;
fifth year, $500. The hours are
from eight hours for day shifts to
six hours for evening and night
shifts. Double time for overtime
Sunday and holiday shifts not more
than five and a quarter hours at
time and half pay. Two weeks
vacation with pay after one years
service
In connection with the proposed
strike, the men had decided that the
Telephone Operators should not be
| called out, as the newly formed
union would not be strong enough
to weather a strike. 1t was con-
;eded, however, that if an opposition
union had not been in existence,
hat the men could have stood out
for closed shop for the operators.
The Electrical Workers are jubilant
over their victory, inasmuch as this
city is the first on the continent
to obtain a closed shop with a tele-
| phone company.
The new scale calls for 81 per
day for journeymen cable splicers
and six dollars per day for all other
journeymen. Apprentices will start
off with $4.65 per day of eight hours
and double time for overtime.
The B, c. Electric, although ask
ing for an arbitration board had
agreed to the same scale as above
but the men decided on a strike be-
cause the company would not agree
to certain working conditions and a
closed shop. Now that the men are
out they will not agree to a set
Element unless the street car mems
grievances are settled also.
The Western Power Company had
declined to consider the agreement
except with an arbitration board
The Electrical Workers declined to
have anything to do with an arbitra-
ton board, hence the walkout at II
midnight on Monday.
Latest reports are that both sides
are holding firm with city authorities
making strenuous efforts for set
Element.

SINGED CATS

Some months ago the parents,
wives, brothers and sisters, of our
gallant men at the front had their
worries and anxieties added to and
made more poignant by widely cir
culated charges to the effect that
drunkenness and other vices were
destroying these same brave men and
rejecting grievously upon our coun-
try's good name.
Both General Pershing and Ad-
miral Sims, in supreme command re-
spectively of our land and naval
forces abroad, denied the charges
in particular and in general. The
storm of indignation that followed
arose to such heights that press and
public demanded these shocking ac-
cusations be substantiated or with
drawn and public apology made.
Were they substantiated? No!
Were they withdrawn and public
apology made? Again the answer
is no. Their authors, the commit
tee on temperance and public morals
of a national church organization,
insisted, although badly singed,
upon their ability to prove their
case, and would do so presently by
making a first hand" investiga-
ton at the Front.
Whether this committee of clergy
men attempted any. such investiga-
ton we do not presume to know.
Nor do we know whether it directly
inspired the investigation said re-
Gently to have been made by COM
missioners appointed by the Anti
Saloon League.
These investigators returned few
days ago, according to the New
York Sun, from which we quote:
"The American military and naval
forces in Europe" says the report,
"are a splendid body of men. Taking
them as whole they are so clean,
so sober and so efficient that they
bring feeling of pride to every
American who sees them and knows
the record they are making"
Little interest, however, will the
Public take in a vicarious confess
sion so long delayed. Sufficient for
it were the denials so promptly and
vigorously made by General Pershing
and Admiral Sims; and sufficient,
too, should these have been for the
slanderers and for their comrades
of the Anti-Saloon League.
A Hand Overplayed?
What will interest the Public is
the light the Leagues investigators
unwittingly have turned upon it's
propaganda here at home. Citizens
of an inquiring turn of mind will
ask:
If men of widely different racial
and individual temperaments, under
going hardships of the most trying
kind can be so moral and so eff
cient, though permitted moderate
indulgence in beer and light wines,
what, then, becomes of the Pro-
hibitionists' argument against the
general use of these beverages?
Now that facts beyond its con-
troll have forced from the League
an unwilling admission, for such it
is, that beer and light wines do
not necessarily impair either morals
or efficiency, it would seem that the
best answer to the Anti-Saloon
League is the League itself.-Adv.
