OF number Of people al prepared.
MSS parade in California, and who
was sentenced TO die December -, hut
whose sentence has since been COM
mu,ed to life imprisonment
The petition, which will be sent
about Sunday, is for N, purpose OF
gaining Mooney's freedom, so he may
have a new trial, local labor leaders
said this morning.
Communications from other labor
organizations in different parts OF the
country we're read urging the local
chapter to strik, u Mooney was moi

iertnt banks are lying on the counter,
pick up the first blank check at hand
and make out a check regardless OF
whether they have funds on deposit
in that particular Institution The
check is then returned to the mer-
chant with the notation No account, "
and the merchant is forced to make
the check good and attempt to make
collection later.
Oyerdrlwing OF regular accounts
during the holiday season is another
cause Of the action Of the Retailers.
Checks drawn during the lAtter part
Of the month by women shoppers, Mr..
McMullen says, are. often returned
because makerS OF the checks in many
cases neglect TO take account Of out
standing checks
Police Not Notified.
Under the new system OF the OK
lahoma City RetailctI association the
police department will not I've notified
OF bad check cases except those IN
which the checks are drawn by per
sons suspected Of criminal intent
However, the organization does ash
for closer cooperation between mer
chant and shopper in the matter Of
checks, and il is believed that by hay
ing the attention Of careless check
writers called TO their errors by dep
u,ies that fewer check mistakes will
be made.
