BOLSHEVISTS ACTIVE
They May Make Mooney Martyr and
Try To Win Labor.

San Francisco, Nov. 26.-Seventeen
days yet to go before Tom Mooney
hangs. Other developments in the
case of Mooney, who was convicted of
murder in connection with prepared
ness parade bomb outrage here, paled
before that fact today.
If Mooney hangs. many union labor
leaders believe, the Bolsheviki eIe-
ment in America will make him its
martyr and endeavor to win union
labor over to Bolsheviki standards.
Labor men are making every effort
to save Mooney, tho they insist their
efforts are based on desire to see
Justice done rather than to save one
Of their number. They base their
claim for his life on a belief that he
was convicted on perjured testimony.
kilograms from labor bodies in
many parts of the country came to
San Francisco today. forecasting
strikes on December 9 in protest
against the execution of Mooney.
The grand jury that met Monday
night to investigate a report made to
Secretary of Labor Wilson by John
Densmore, his representative, ad-
journed without taking evidence. The
jury was expected to resume it's sit

Moneys fate rests solely with Gov

WILSON TO ARMY
Yanks in Field Would Have Prcsi.
dent Visit Them.

London. Nov. 26.-The United
States army in the field is confident
that President Wilson will visit it.
The men expect him to land at an
army port and travel to the front in
an American train, over American
made tracks, addressing the boys in
the American zone before his de-
parture for Paris, as a guest of the
French government.
This is the Yanks' program. They
will be disappointed If it is not real
lied. They feel they have done the
job their commander-in-chie sent
them over to do and they want him
to see them on the fields where they
did 1t. And, then, they very naturally
want to see him.
Such a plan would solve the deli
cate question as to whether he should
come first to England or France. 1t
is also felt that his arrival in England
at the present time, in the midst of
a bitter election campaign would pre-
sent possible awkward complica tions.

ganization at Big Meeting.

nfent by Forrest B.. Smith. secretary
of the union. At meeting held al
the Knights of Pythias hall Monday
night. the final details of the organi-
zation of the auxiliary were completed,
Smith said.
One hundred and nine girls are now
enrolled as members of the local. and
according to officials of the union the
matter of an increase in wages will be
taken up with the government at once
thru the regular channels.
Refreshments were served the girls
at the meeting Monday night. and il
was voted that everything possible be
done to maintain and improve the
standard of service. 1t was asserted
that the movement which has resulted
in the chartering of the linemen's To-
cal and its auxiliary has created nc
friction between the employed and the
employer, and that all differences of
opinion will be adjusted along the
lines hid down by the government.

WESTS|DERS FAVOR
PAVING PROJECT
APPROVE COUNCILS PLANS FOR
IMPROVEMENT-ASK BET.
TER WATER SERVICE.

With only one opposing vote,
Westsiders, attending the meeting Of
their Improvement club at the Car
iiedr school house last Friday night.
voted to approve the improvement of
Harrison avenue by paving to the
west city limits, and of Farragut and
West Bay avenues. as proposed by
the city council.
The club also expressed the opin-
ION that the cost Of the improvements
should be assessed in the ratio Of
65 per cent against the abutting
property and 35 per cent spread over
all the property in the district on the
Westside north of Fourth street. The
meeting was reported to have been
representative of the property own
ers of the district.
The improvement of Farragut and
West Bay avenues is to consist of the
laying Of pavement eight feet wide
on the westside of the street. so as to
provide suitable outlet for teams
from the lower mills, and the gravel
ling of the remainder Of the street.
The Westsiders also voted to de-
mand of the city council that it pro-
ceed with the improvement of the
water service, where work was
stopped a year ago. They want the
mains of the municipal system ex-
tended into sections which have no
service at all now. and the water
pressure throughout the entire dis
trict increased SO as to afford a bet
ter measure of fire protection.
