Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-03

Last Saturday Governor Stephens
of California granted a reprieve to
Thomas J. Mooney which acts as a
stay of execution under the verdict
and sentence until December ID, 1918.
Date of execution had previously been
fixed for August %.
No doubt the Mooney protest meet
ings scheduled for Sunday, July. %,
had considerable influence upon Cow
ernor Stephens in taking action Sat-
urday, the day before the protest DEM
onstrations were scheduled.
In Denver about / 500 members of
organized labor participated in the
Mooney protest parade and 5000 at
tended the mass meeting which fol-
lowed in the Auditorium. j. S. Co
bel. chairman Of the local Mooney De-
Tense League, presided at the meet
| ing. n. H Tallentine of Carpenters
Local No. 1874 made an Introductory
address. W. p. Alexander of San Fran
cisco was the principal speaker, and
gave an interesting recital of the ia
nous case from the preparedness pa
rade in San Francisco in 1916 up to
the present time. The news of
Moneys reprieve was very pleasing
TO the crowd in the Auditorium, and
bellef was espresso dthat he would
eventually gain freedom.
Patterson closed his remarks with
the declaration that despite the re-
prieve granted Mooney by the COVER
nor of the state, that there would be
no stacking up of the defense fight
until both Mooney and Billings were
freed. The applause which greeted
this assertion indicated that the work
ers of Denver took similar view of
the affair.
Resolutions Adopted s
The following resolutions were
adopted and by unanimous vote or
dered sent to President Wilson:
"Organized labor in the city of
Denver, convoked by the Colorado
State Federation of Labor. the Dem

at a mass meeting held this 2Sth day
of July, 1918, proclaiming its allie
glance to the government and its 10y
atty to the constitution of the United
States, records its solemn conviction
that execution of a capital sentence
pronounced upon testimony admitted
ly perjured by any state in this union
would discredit the whole judicial sys-

The following resolution, proposed
by Delegates A. J. MCGUIRE. A. S.
Hernon and r. f. Shaw, was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The United Mine Work
ers Of America Journal contained an
article by one Robert II. Harlin, in
which an insulting and a wholly un-
warranted attack was made upon the
integrity of Horace n. Hawkins of
Denver. Colo; and
Whereas, Horace " Hawkins has
earned the undying love and gratitude
of the toilers of our state and nation
because of his unselfish devotion to
their cause; therefore. be it
Resolved. That the Independent
Union of Mine Workers of America
express our supreme confidence in Mr..
Hawkins as a friend of labor and de-
nounce this cowardly and unjust at
tack upon this truly great defender
of labor's rights; and be it further
Resolved. That this resolution be
sent to Mr.. Hawkins, as well as
spread upon the records of this con-
vention."
Keep Alive and Moving.
Another resolution adopted COM
mended The Denver Labor Bulletin
for standing out fearlessly for clean
and effective trade unionism." and for
Exposing to the labor world the out
rageous made upon the sacredness of
the workers ballot in the State Fed
Grafton and District Is, United Mine
Workers elections"
1t was clearly in evidence by the
delegates turnout the proceedings that
they not only were determined to
keep the Independent Union alive,
but to inaugurate n campaign of or
ganizing that will cover, at least for
the present, the entire coal produc-
ing area Of Colorado.
