ITALIAN LABOR
BACKS MOONEY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Ooct. q
Justice for Thomas J. Mooney is
urged by the General Federation of
Labor, Milan, Italy, in a letter to
President Gompers, Secretary Rigola,
of this organization, which represents
nearly 100 affiliates, expresses these
sentiments:
"Very conscious of the duty i'm
posed by international solidarity, the
Italian proletariat could not remain
deaf to the appeals issued by the
American unions in favor of Tom
Mooney.
ut would be impossible for me to
enumerate to you all the demon
strations that have taken place in
Italy since we took the initiative.
| send you herewith, however, a
first list of organizations which have
passed resolutions of sympathy with
the condemned man, while express
ing our most ardent wish that justice
may be revindicated."

THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF
LABOR MEETING
Will Consider Anti-War Policies, the
TEN Mooney Case and Other
Subjects of Interest to
Labor.

The California State Federation of
Labor will hold its annual conven-
tion in San Diego, beginning next
Monday, the 7th of this month.
The California State Federation
of Labor will hold its annual con-
vention at San Diego on October 7th.
The proceedings will in all likelihood
last for four or five days.
This will be the most important
of this decade. A heavy
burden rests upon the assembled del
egates-the determination of a policy
to be pursued by the organized labor
of California during the
coming war reconstruction. Labor
had hard time trying to keep wages
in the same ratio as the
cost of living during the past four
years.

The annual convention of the Utah
State Federation of Labor has un-
animously adopted resolutions re
question the federal authorities to
remove the Mooney case from the
jurisdiction of the California courts
and urging all affiliated unions to
give all the financial assistance pos
sible to the defense.
w. D. Patterson addressed the
convention. "Allow the big business
bandits to hang Tom Mooney, the
molder, after conviction secured
upon the rankest of perjury, and we
might as well forget that such a
thing as affair trial ever existed ir
America" Patterson declared. "a
fundamental right has been attacked
and labor will fight this injustice
to the end Not only is Tom MONEYS
life in jeopardy, but the very right
of men to strive to better their con-
ditions of livelihood is in danger.
The Mooney case must be won by
labor and labor throughout the ma
ton and in the allied nations has
served notice that they expect jus
tice for Tom Mooney"

hall during Council meetings, and
will make a neat display of national
bunting. President Vingen and Del
egate Snyder are responsible for
this display Of patriotic enthusiasm.
At this juncture President Short,
of the State Federation of Labor,
and Captain Turner, of the Spruce
Division, u. S. A., entered the hall
and were received with applause and
stand at attention.
The President called upon Captain
Turner, who made a few good-na-
tured remarks, and said he came not
to talk, but to hear Mr.. Short speak.
President Short was then intro
duced and with few preliminary
pleasantries commenced an address
frimful of force and information.
He made it very clear that labor
has the power to rectify its wrongs
by political action, and urged all
workers to register and vote for
'abol's chosen candidates at the COM
ing election.
He showed how American organ
ized labor had destroyed weak and
false policies of European labor
groups in their efforts to establish
peace. He drove home, with straight
from-the- shoulder arguments, the fact
that the American idea of securing
permanent peace was through a
crushing defeat of German military
power. He predicted that the war
will end in probably not more than
eight months if the solidarity of the
Allies be maintained and the present
tactics persistently pursued.
Mr.. Short warned his hearers that
there must be no letup in the whole
hearted support our armies must
have in order to secure victory.
He made strong point in saying
that he who buys a Liberty Bond
makes no sacrifice, but a good in
vestment, and urged his hearers to
buy to their last dollar.
There must be no quitting until
the victory is won.
Mr.. Short said that Tomorrow
belongs to labor" that labor had
made greater advancement in get
ting it's own during this war than
could have been accomplished in
fifty years of peace times, as the
war was a great leveler of rank and
caste and class.
He paid a glowing tribute to the
American Government, particularly
as it was being administered under
The leadership of Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Short received the rapt atten-
ion of his hearers throughout his
address.
Vice President Mrs. Tyler an
lounced that the Central Liberty
Loan Committe would meet tonight |
1t s p. m. in the Labor Temple.

"Man passes through this world but

language of the Great Declaration,

1T has been suggested, as some
protection against the abuse of con-
stantly exceeding the limitation of
hours by the employer declaring in
his judgment 'an emergency to ex-
lst, that such extra days should be
limited to three days in the week.
This would only be a very partial
remedy, for if the employe is over
worked three days in the week his
product will not only fall off dur
ing those days, but also during the
remaining days Of the week. A bet
ter plan would seem to be a provi-
sion that the employer shall appoint
a standing committee of two, and
the employees a similar committee
Of two, and as the burden of estab-
fishing an emergency is upon those
who assert it the eight-hour limita-
tion should not be exceeded unless
at least three members of the Joint
of four agree that there
IS an emergency justifying working
overtime. This would avoid also
the objection that if there was only
one member of the committee on
each side, factious opposition by the
repres entative of labor might pre-
vent operation, even when there was
an emergency requiring it."

President Gompers and his asso-
ciates also submitted these economic
principles to the Interallied Confer
ence and urged that they be incor-
porated in the peace treaty:
In law and in practice the princi-
pie shall be recognized that the la
pie shall be recognized that the. la
Dor of human being is not COM
modify or an article of commerce.
Involuntary servitude shall not eX-
ist except as a punishment for crime
for which the party shall have been
duly convicted.
The right of free association, free
assemblage, free speech and free
press shall not be abridged.
Seamen of the merchant marine
shall be guaranteed the right to
leave their vessels when they are
in a safe harbor.
No article or commodity shall be
shipped or delivered in international
commerce. in the production of which
children under 16 years of age have
been employed or permitted to work.
The basic work day in industry and
commerce shall not exceed eight
hours.
Trial by jury shall be established.
The American trade unionists pro-
posed a world labor congress at the
same time and place as the peace con-
ference and also direct official rep
resentation of workers in the Off
cal delegations of each of the bellig
erents formulating the peace treaty.
MORE TO KUN
There has never been a doubt in
the minds of our people regarding
the stand taken by labor in the
United States and it is now gratify-
ing to know that laborers of Amer
ca's allies are in perfect harmony
with our own workingmen and wo-
men. They favor, unreservedly, the
prosecution Of the war against Ger
many to final and complete victory.
Organized labor of the world OPP
poses any conference with the en-
emy on peace subjects and is de-
tormined that no peace proposed will
be received or considered other than
surrender.

yOnd the necessity of the occasion"
Acting as a National War Labor
Board umpire, Justice Walter Clark,
of the North Carolina State Su-
preme Court, has awarded Wheeling
iron molders an eight-hour day in
decision that will be far-reaching
in effect. A few features Of this
decision are:
The basic eight-hour day is not
an eight-hour day, but merely a
wage agreement which permits of
extra hours at increased rates.
Eight hours should be the work
day except in cases of emergency.
The question of what constitutes
an emergency shall not be left to
the employer, but shall be decided
by a joint standing committee of
two employees and two representa-
tives of the employer. The assent
of at least three members of this
committee shall be necessary for per-
to work more than eight
hours in any day of "a hours.
Justice Clark is one of the 10 UNI
pires appointed by the President to
act where the National War Labor
Board fails to reach a decision. A
controversy arose between Iron Mold
ers' Union, No. 364, and the Wheel
ing Mold and Foundry Company of
w. Va, on the interpre-
tation of the first section of an
agreement between the two parties,
which provides that EIGHT hours
constitute a days work for all mold .
ers and coreworkers." The next sec
ton of the agreement provides that
"the wage rate shall be $3.50 for the
basic eight hour working day" Both
parties agreed to refer the matter
% the National War Labor Board, and
that body referred it to an umpire.
The iron molders contended that
the agreement was an eight-hour |
one. This contention was upheld by
Umpire Clark, who said:
at is not reasonable to suppose |
that the employees, having agreed |
upon an eight-hour day, should, by |.
the next rule, repeal it by substtut-
ing 10 or 12-hour day for extra
compensation.
There is a vast body of expert
ence," continued Umpire Clark, "that |
A 10-hour day shortens the lives of |
The employees, Injuries their health. |

IS an increase by the substitution of |
