SECRETARY WILSON
APPEALS TO WORKERS
Urges Them Not to Engage in a
Nationwide Protest in the
Mooney Case in San Francisco.

Secretary Wilson Of the Department OF
Labor yesterday afternoon issued an ap-
peal to the workers Of the country not
to, engage in a nationwide strike as
protest in the case of Thomas ]. Mooney,
convicted of murder in connection with
the preparedness day bomb explosion in
San Francisco.
The Secretary said in a telegram to
Otto A. Hartwig, president of the Ore
gon State Federation Of Labor, that If
the evidence now available is sufficient
to convince a jury that there has been
a conspiracy to convict Mooney, there is
every probability that he will secure a
new trial and have his guilt or innocence
determined by a jury in the light of the
facts now known to exist"
Many labor unions over the country
have voted to strike December as
ton was taken before Gov. Stephens
commuted Moneys death sentence to
life Imprisonment, but officials of the
American Federation of Labor have pub
lcly announced that the governors ac-
ton did not meet the demands Of labor
in the case.
Only Effect of a Strike.
The Secretary added that the only
effect of a strike would be to bring
into disrepute and tend to destroy
the jury system of trial which is the
result Of thousand years struggle
on the part of the masses to protect
themselves against criminals on the
ono hand and profiteering on the
other''
'If Mooney has been guilty of this
crime" said Mr.. Wilson's telegram,
Tabor is not interested in protecting
him. If he is innocent, all of our
people are interested in his acquittal.
No strike of the workers of the country
can facilitate these processes. 1t cannot
produce particle of evidence that would
be helpful in securing justice. a strike
can neither give a fair trial to nor secure
a fair trial for Mooney and I sincere
ly hope that no such strike will take
place."

Revised Collection Reports.

Revised reports on collections show
that s3,6e4,619,0 900 was collected from
internal revenue, including $685.
$4,000 from income and excess profits
taxes, sS17,553,ooo from distilled
spirits, s126,.s5.ooo from fermented
liquors, a total Of s44S.s3s.ooO from all
liquors, and s156,1Ss.0 900 from tobacco.
The year 1918 marked the beginning
of new era of taxation, commented
Mr.. Roper. because the bulk came
from income and profits taxes rather
than from liquor, as in previous years.
In 1914, under the first income tax
law, only 16 per cent of total internal
revenue COLLECTIONS were from income
and excess profits taxes, whereas in
1918 &c per cent came from these
sources.
The commissioner explained how the
bureau had sought the advice of bust
ness interests in administering taxes
last year to minimize the difficulties
in reporting and assessing taxes, and
said this policy would be continued.
During the year 2.23S Illicit liquor
distilleries were seized, mainly in
southern states. North Carolina had
one-third Of the total.

Tim Kirby then brought on his

Just to add touch of art to the
show, Katie welded his wand and out
came Perry Scott of and Joe Null

They were warmly welcomed, and just

responded with an instrument of his
