APPEAL AGAINST NATION
 WIDE MOONEY" STRIKE

Washington, Dec 6.-An apeal to the workers Of the country not to en- gage in a nation wide strike as a protest in the case of Thomas J. Moon ey. convicted of murder in connection with the preparedness day bomb eX- Dlosion in San Francisco, was issued today by Secretary of Labor Wilson,
 In 6 telegram te Otto A. Hartwig, president of the Oregon State Feder- ation of Labor, the secretary said that if the evidence now available is suf- tcient to convince a jury that there has been a conspiracy to convict Mooney there is every probs bility that he will secure a new trial and have his guilt or inpocense determined by jury in the light of the facts that are not known to exist
 The secretary added that the only effect of 8 strike would he to bring into disrepute and tend to destroy the jury system of trial which is the result of a thousand years struggle on the part of the masses 10 protect themselves against criminals on the one haid and profiteering on the oth- err
 Many labor unions over the coun- try have voted to strike December 9 as protest ir the Mooney case. Their action was taken before Gorevror Stephens commuted Moneys sentence to life imprisonment, but officials of the American Federation of Labor have publicly announced that the governors action did not meet the de- mands of labor in the case.
 If Mooney has been guilty of this crime" said Mr. Wilson's telegram Tabor is not interested in protecting him. life be Is innocent, all of our peo- pie are interested in his acquittal. Nc strike of the workers of the country can facilitate these processes. It can not produce q particle of evidence that
 would be helpful in securing justice A strike can neither give 8 fair tria;
 to nor secure a fair trial for Mooney and I sincerely hope that no strike
 will take place"

Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. G.-Ap- pointment of a European commission representative of American business to go to France and bes available for any aid it 1night be able to give to the peace delegates from the United States in considering economic prob lems that might enter into the peace negotiations was decided upon today at the final session of the, reconstruc- ton congress of the Industrial War Service Committees. Other resolu- tions adopted urged the speedy return under federal charter to their owners of all railroads now oper ated by the government, opposed government own- ership and operation of telegraphs, telephones and cables, appealed for modification of the Sherman anti trust laws, endorsed the industrial creed respecting labor enunciated by JoEn D. Rockefeller. Jr., yesterday, and the creation of a central board of war service committees
 Cheers greeted the adoption of the resolution providing for tEe European commission. The Chamb4r of Com | merce of the United States through it's president Harry A. Wheeler. of Chicago. recently inquired of Presi- dent Wilson whether such a commis.. sion would. be helpful. but according to Mir. Wheeler, the president made no reply.
 The proposed commission while abroad will also study the reconstruc-
 ton needs of Europe. Mir Wheeler. it 1 is said, may be one of the commits
 sion. The size of the Lody has not
 been decided upon but will probably
 number fifteen to twenty five. It is | planned to pick at least one rep-esen-
 tative from each of the important in- l dustrial groups of the country. The
 difficulty. it was said, will be to find | the right men who will be willing to make the sacrifice of staying away from their hom einterests long enough to accomplish the work planned fol the commission.
 Only one voice, that of Q delegate
 from Lynn, Mass was raised against the passage of the resolution for thu prompt return of the railroads to theil
 owners, and he only asked delay unti
