without discrimination except as die

the railroads for operating purposes
and the needs of domestic consumers
and of the war.
Under the present war demands, the
maximum output of every mine work

The principle of equal car supply has
accordingly been adopted so as to

The introduction of the principle of
even car supply will reduce the gen.

mine prices thus fixed will remain un-

Consumers of bituminous coal who

MAY SAVE MOONEY
PRESIDENT SENDS PLEA TO
CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR.
No Immediate Action Expected While
Lawyers Apply tic Supreme Court
for Writ of Probable Cause.

President Wilson has written a sec
ond letter to Governor Stephens of
California, urging the pardon of
Thomas J.s Mooney.
The President asked for clemency
for Mooney in March, but Governor
Stephens replied that he could not act
until an appeal for the convicted man
had been passed on by the courts.
The ccsrts have refused the plea.
Mooney Was convicted of compile
ity in the bomb explosion that killed
ten persons during San Francisco's
preparedness parade July %, 1916.
The President interested himself
in the case after receiving the report
of special commission he sent West
to investigate the labor situation.
Labor leaders have worked hard for
Mooney and Russian agitators have
used the case as one of their chief
arguments to convince the Russian
people that the pleadings of the
United States for the cause of de-
mocracy have been insincere.
Governor Stephens stated that he
had received a telegram from Presi-
dent Wilson II regard to the Mooney
case and had replied
Nothing further will be given out
No Immediate action by Governor
Stephens in the Mooney case is ex-
pected, it was said at his office.
Moneys lawyers have announced
their intention to apply to the state
supreme court for writ of probable
cause, and it was indicated here that
the governor was awaiting the out
come of this action
Superior Judge Franklin A Griffin
has signed Moneys death warrant.
Judge Griffin stipulated the warrant
was not to be executed or served
until the state supreme court had
acted on the writ of probable cause
sought by MONEYS attorneys with a
view further TO appealing for a new
trial.
Maxwell McNutt, one of MONEYS
attorneys, said the application for
writ Of probable cause is in prepare
ton and in all probability would be
filed within a few days.

ten quarrel took on a new aspect and
greater Importance. What right had
a wife to tell her husband-who
worked hard all day-that he must
stop drinking. The more he thought
of it the more angry he became at
himself for ~being too easy"
The party broke up. Pete remem-
bered he had to go home and tell his
wife that he was the head of the
house.
Pete Went Home Drunk.
He went home. At the door he was
met by his wife, weeping because she
knew from experience that Pete was
drinking again.
"Can that bawlingl' he roared.
Frightened by his tone as well as his
manner, his wife started for the kitch-
en-. Pete followed.
Trying to run away from me, Ell ~
he exclaimed. He picked up chair.
raised it above his head and brought
it with crushing force down on the
crouching figure of his wife.
Again and again he struck. Drop
ping the chair to the floor he prodded
the now-still form with his feet. 1t
didn't move. Pete walked past the
body and the room in which his three

of flight Ahead Of him he saw the

Asleep in Dive.
A few minutes later two plain
clothes men found him there. Hours
later Pete began to stir. The realiza-
ton came that he was in Jail.
A little later friend dropped in to
see him.
Say, don't tell my wife I'm here"
he urged.
why, didn't you know? Your wife
is dead. You are charged with her
murderl" said his friend.
THE story of Pete Jones is the
story of many men who have been
sent to the penitentiary for killing an
other human being" said Mr.. Sales.
IF you want TO blame somebody be-
cause stories are few, blame prohibi-
ton. Where we formerly had dozen
murder cases pending in the West
Side court, now all we have is the
case of woman, probably insane, who
killed her husband"

PROFITEERING vs.. LABOR
BY PROF WILLIAM E. HOOKING. Harvard University.

A few conspicuous examples of a
disposition TO make personal capital
out Of the common calamity, II they
are successful and unjunished. will do
more than any other one cause to ruin
the fighting impulse among laboring
men.
II is perfectly obvious that the
world Of labor is more keenly alive to
the questions Of justice which affect
it's own situation thnn ever before;
that Il is less disposed to be patient
with nm unjust distribution OF the
burdens Of the war; and that il has a
greater power than ever before to
make its opinions felt. The one form
Of injustice which most angers the
laboring man Is what we have come to
call profitecring on the part Of en-
ploycrs.
II Is the chief representative among
us Of the German idea---the very thing
we are fighting against.

MURDER STORIES In DENVER WENT
OUT WHEN SALOONS QUIT BUSINESS
Deputy District Attorney Sales Tells Reporters Why Office
Is No Longer Source of Criminal News
trates 1t With Typical Sketch of Murder
Due to Booze Treating

Deputy District Attorney Harry n.
Sales was in a reminiscent mood
when talking to a bunch of reporters
the other day. He apologized for not
having a good news story TO tell 'em.
Harry has been in the district attor-
ney's office for many years, long be-
fore Colorado voted the booze traffic
into the discard, and has prosecuted
over 200 murder cases in the Denver
courts. And then Harry proceeded to
tell why prohibition made news scarce
in his department, and gave this strik-
ingly illuminative narrative, which
likewise explains why the Denver
county Jail has largely been converted
into n municipal bakeshop.
The Story of Pete Jones.
Peter Jones was Woodworking. ca
chanic earning good wages. He took
an occasional drink. but never until
he was thru work for the day. Per-
haps two or three nights each week
he went home to his wife feeling the
effect, tho he cared little for LIQUOR.
A quart bottle on the top shelf of the
pantry had been there for six months
he never touched it at home.
Pete" was good fellow" with the
boys; on his way from the shop where
he worked, Pete and his fellow en-
ployes had to pass n string of saloons.
Come on in and let's have a little
drink" one of them would suggest.
When Pete went thru the swinging
doors he made mental reservation
that he'd take one or two drinks, quit
and go home. The others made SINH
lar resolves. They simply gravitated
to the saloon as a meeting place.
By the time each had treated, each
had imbibed three or more They be-
gan discussing family relations. sug-
gested by sensational story of the
day
The bartender set 'em up. The
treat by the house had its effect. The
resolve to stop with the third or fourth
drink was forgotten: somebody started
another round of drinks.
Whisky and Grudges.
BY this time Pete and everybody
else in the party had an edge on"
Time now meant nothing. nor money,
and nobody cared any longer about
staying sober. One man had grudge
against a certain boss. Another man
began to tell his fellows about row
he had with his wife because he didn't
get home until o'clock in the morn
ing;
II wuz sittin' in little poker game
that's all" said he. "Man hasn't
any rights these days; all rights wom-
ans rights; man hasn't got any rights
Woman shoots her husband; thash all
right, too. Jury acquits her-turns
her loose. Maybe she gets new hus-
hands; shoots him too"
Pete remembered little dispute
he had with his wife the day before.
She had pleaded with him for the
sake of the children to pass by the
saloons as they needed the money for
other things. Pete had been sober
then and he knew she was right; he
really meant to do as she asked.
But now the whisky fumes were
adding his brain; the almost forgot
