GOMPERS WARNS
AGAINST STRIKE AS
MOONEY PROTEST

Congress Is today asked to take
steps to forestaIl action by labor lead
ers to force a general strike through
out the nation on May /, as a protest
against the treatment accorded
Thomas J. Mooney, convicted Of par
tieipation in the bomb plots in San
Francisco in 1916 and sentenced to
hang.
Revelation that strike was con-
templated was made IN the Senate by
Senator Poindexter, OF Washington.
who asked that steps be taken to
place under arrest every man respon-
sible for the strike threat Each of
them, the Senator declared, should be
treated as traitors.
A letter from Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
OF Labor, was read, in which he ap-
pealed to organized labor not to walk
cut in a general strike, declaring It
would prejudice the interests OF
American soldiers in France and risk
disaster in the war.
The Vaccinations Of the prosecu-
tion in the Mooney trial" says Comp
erS' letter, "justifes the Judgment
that he was found guilty on perjured
evidence. Il is greatly regrettable
that the California courts refused to
consider this claim, which was dis
covered since the trial"
A strike. however. would be ire
puKnant to the rights and interests Of
the workers themselves" Gompers
says.
