A Proud Chapter in the
History of the Negro Race

The official and authentic history
of the true part played by the Negro
in the great World War, written by
a man whose valuable experience,
intimate connection with every phase
of the direction of the great strug-
gle, makes it possible to publish the
true facts.
A great historical volume that
should be in every Negro home.
Gives inside facts and accurate and
official data and pictures which will
appear in no other book. Every
chapter is full of the very Informs
tion which you have been anxiously
waiting to know.
This Great Book tells all about
the Negro Everywhere in the World
War-How He Did His Duty, in every
capacity--from right up in the front
line trenches and on the battlefields
clear back to the work of keeping
the home fires burning; on the
farms; in the mills and munition
plants; on the railroads and steam
ships; in ship yards and factories.
Men and women with the Red Cross,
the Y. M. C. A., the Y. w. C. A.,
the War Camp Community Service,
the Liberty Loan Drives, etc.
SCOTS Official History was written
for the Negro by the Negro that the
wonderful record of daring deeds,
gallant bravery and undying heroism
of our black troops might never
perish. A great tribute to the
patriotism of the Negro Race.

OLDER'S TESTIMONY

(From International Workers

San Francisco, Calf,
Aug. s, 1919.
Hon. Robert NJ. LaFollette, Senate
Building, Washington, ID. c.
My Dear Senator-After a lapse
of many years, years that have car
ried me very close to the end of life,
| again turn to you for help-not
for myself, but for cause which
should deeply concern every Amer
lean. mean the Mooney case. You
are no doubt familiar with it. Moo
ney and Billings are serving life
sentences, having been convicted Of
the bomb murders on perjured tes
timony.
Now comes Congressman Blanton
demanding an investigation of Sec
rotary Wilson's department for hav-
ing authorized an investigation of
District Attorney Fickert's activi-
ties in the bomb cases. Blanton is
serving, perhaps not consciously,
the big interests here by trying to
discredit what has been done to ex-

tries, it seems to me that it is the
most important matter now before
the American people that we should
right this wrong for our own sakes,
and | am certain that you will see
it as | do. 1t is a far more import
ant matter to the American people
and the future Of this great country
than Article 10, the grave of Con-
fucius, the ownership of the Saar
Valley, or any of the other questions
that members of Congress love to
turn into sounding phrases and roll
under their tongues.
| don't imagine there is any def
mite thing that you can do, but l
thought perhaps you would be will
ing to raise your voice against the
efforts being made by Blanton to
further justify the actions of the
corrupt officials In San Francisco
who have committed this terrible
crime, not only against Mooney
and Billings, but against the Amer
lean people.

pose the most fragrant case of
breaking down of our judicial sys-
tenn ever known.
When l first published the Dens-
more report which revealed the in
ner workings of the district attor-
ney's office, the grand jury, then
controlled by Fickert, subpoenaed
me, their object being to try to
get me to betray the condolences of
the Government officials, hoping by
hook or crook to secure information
that would render their white
washing of Fickert more plausible.
My testimony not being what
they had hoped it might be, the
stenographer, who responded wholly
to this corrupt group, sent Blanton
a distorted transcript of my testi-
money, which he has made use of in
his efforts to defend the Fickert
crowd. The most glazing instance
that | have yet discovered of the
distortion of my testimony is found
in the Congressional Record, as fol-
lows:
Questioned by one of the grand
Jurors What is there in that
Densmore report that shows that
Mooney did not get fair trial?'
Answered by Mr.. Older: Moth
ing"

The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1919-08-29

Der the exact words of my answer,
but | know what | said was in eff
feet that the Densmore report veri-
fled all the charges that had been
previously made that the evidence
in the bomb cases was framed"
l have learned that the Senate is
almost unanimously against Mooney.
| can understand their hatred for
Mooney personally, because of his
record as labor agitator. That
can be easily accounted for on the
ground of blind class hatred, but
what amazes me is that they are
not able to set aside their dislike
for Mooney and see clearly what
has happened in the courts here. In
the face of the exposures of the
glazing perjuries that were commit
ted in the trial of Mooney, coupled
with the statement made by the
judge who tried Mooney, that the
evidence was perjured, they still
refuse to make any move toward
bringing about a new trial for
Mooney. In fact, by their silence
are endorsing the efforts of corrupt
officials here, to keep these inno-
cent men in the penitentiary.
Aside from whether or not the
unjust Imprisonment of Mooney has
caused disturbances among the
working classes of European coun-

ers that was chosen by the mill crew
to present it.
The mills in Bellinsham have an
nounCed that on September I the
minimum wage will be $3.50, but as
usual, are loath to acknowledge de-
feat in their attempt to keep wages
down to a starvation level and are
trying to give the al credit for the
raise through their loyalty by stay
ing on the job while the rest of the
workers were striking for the right
of collective bargaining and "a living
wage.
1t viii be a hard matter for the
employers in this section to Camou-
flage the real reason for the grant
ing of the union scale. The al
have repeatedly stated that they
were getting enough wages, and if
their position in the matter is cor
rect, why this raise up to the TIM
Der Workers scale? 1t shows clear
ly that the program of the al is
entirely out of harmony with the
views and ideas of the majority Of
the workers in the industry, and
even the bosses, and let me say that
If the workers ever expect TO get
real legislation i'm their behalf it will
be necessary to turn their attention
to real labor organization. and quit
playing the game with the bosses
camouflage organization.
At the present writing there are
several mills and camps I'm the Co
lumbia River district out on strike
for increase in wages. Notable
among them are Goble and Yankton,
oregon, and kalama, Washington.
In all three of these places the mills
and camps are idle. and the workers
have taken a determined stand TO
win. In this district many mills and
camps have granted the scale and
are operating. and we look for the
strikes in this district to be of short
duration.
