Let the Chamber Follow Suit

THE Mooney case is in no sense a conflict between
capital and labor We quote large Eastern daily, echo
ing the words of Californias governor
That depends. If Mooney is guilty, the is plain
murder If Mooney is NOT guilty he is the victim of
shocking conspiracy the part of INSCRIPTIONS enemies.
And Moneys only known enemies the members of
certain small sect of what is loosely called capital repre-
sented by the managing clique in the San Francisco Cham
Der of Commerce.
The trial Judge before whom Mooney convicted,
Judge Franklin A. Griffin, is not satisfied with the fairness
of the trial Repeatedly he has advocated trial for
Mooney since the evidence of perjury came to light that
discredted the chief witness against Mooney
Labor is not alone in demanding a trial for Mooney.
From pupts and editorial sancums all the country
the cry has been raised Justice for Mooney The
president of the United States twice has lifted his
with the warning that injustice to this convicted labor
agtator would interfere with American in foreign
diplomacy Courts have refused to interfere the legal
technicaity that the trial fair far the record
shows; that the evidence after Moneys
vcon Governor Stephens pardon Mooney and order
his retria another indictment, when the evidence
be weighed But Stephens has done nothing but
mute Moneys sentence TO life imprisonment-whic
William Marion Reedy, the famous editor of the St. Louis
Mirror, calls the browning injustice to Mooney" and
"a farcical perverson of justice"
Organized labor planned a mammoth protest strike
this MONTH but in the public interest this has called
off,
We suggest that equally in the public interest the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United States or some equal
y responsible spokesman for organized capital take hand
in the Mooney matter and petition the governor Of Caor-
mia for conditional pardon and a new trial
If new trial proves Mooney guilty. let him suffer
the consequences.
If innocent, let him be freed.
