SECRETARY OF LABOR
WILLIAM B. WILSON
ON THE MOONEY CASE

There has been considerable pub
licity given to what is supposed to
have been the statement made by
Secretary of Labor Wilson at the
recent convention of the American
Federation of Labor on the Mooney
case, and in order that his exact
statement, rather than a summary
of it, can be had, we are publishing
the exact extract from his speech
dealing with this subject. 1t is as
follows:
MAY [. also, Mr. President. take
this opportunity of giving a word OF
advice in connection with another
situation that has been tense
throughout the country? The advice
is given freely, honestly and earnest
ly. You may accept it or leave 1t as
your own judgment tells you is best.
/ have been very much interested IN
the Mooney case / was requested
by the President when his Commls-
sion went West, to look into the
Mooney case and report to him. we
looked into the Mooney case ana IN
doing so we came to this conclusion:
That so far as the jury was con-
cerned that passed upon the evidence
presented to it, it would have come
to no other conclusion under its
sworn duty than to convict Mooney;
that so far as the judge was con-
cerned who tried the case, he tried 1t
with absolute fairness. But there
were some things existing in addition
to that. At the time of the trial GER
tain evidence had been given by Ger
tain individuals relative to the sup
posed activities of Mooney. 1t after
ward developed that one of the prln-
ciple witnesses had written to q
friend of his in Illinois asking him
to come to San Francisco and be pre-
pared to testify that he had seen
OXman, the witness, at given point
at a given time, so as to testify to the
possibility of OXman's being at the
point where he claimed to have Sc
cured the evidence, The Commits
sion was of the opinion that in view
of that change in the evidence, and
in view of other changes that mad
taken place in the evidence from the
date of trial, Mooney ought to be
given a new trial, and his innocence
or guilt decided upon the evidence as
it existed when this new evidence
was produced.

ions as to either the guilt or the IN

CALIFORNIA;
PRINTERS ARE
NOT VERY SLOW

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July e.
Last week there was held in this
city the California Zone Confer
ence, the first of it's kind in this
State. The purpose of the confer
ence, as stated in the preamble,
was "to create machinery to unite
all crafts within the printing indus
try for mutual advancement and
protection"
The meeting was held under
the auspices of Sacramento Typo
graphical Union, and there were
delegates present from San Fran
cisco, Oakland, stockton, Fresno,
San Jose, Modesto and Sacramento.
A number of fraternal delegates
were seated.
The vote was unanimous on all
of the resolutions introduced, with
the exception of resolution No. 3,
which asked the conference for its
Endorsement of the tentative wage
schedule agreement between San
Francisco, oakland and Sacramento
Typographical Unions and the en-
ployers of those cities. This was
objected to on the ground that the
awards were not adequate.
A scale or 81 per hour for day
work and $1.10 for night work, sew
en- hours to constitute a day, was
adopted.
A resolution recommending that
all members of the Allied Crafts,
viz, Pressmen, Bookbinders, Stereo-
typers, Mailers, etc, be admitted to
all regular meetings of Typograph-
ical Unions included in the confer
ence, was adopted.

DON'T YOU DARE
TO RAISE PRICES

The dblooded, hard-hearted
profiteers have formed the habit of
raising prices on all living necessar-
les whenever wages have been
raised, and usually succeed in alb
sorbing all increase in wages.
Sometime this outrageous custom
will stop, but not until the profit
GERS are forced to stop it. Read
what Snohomish mill employees are
doing, published in Wednesday
evenings Herald:
Employees of the Cascade mill
here have taken steps to ward off
any possible raise in the cost of liv-
ing expenses by local merchants,
which might result now that the mill
workers have been awarded an in
laration has been drawn up by the
mill employees and was presented to
the Herald yesterday:
"Snohomish, July Z, 1919"
ITO the Merchants of Snohomish:
1T has been decided by the en-
ployees of the Cascade Lumber &
Shingle Company that if any profit
eering is attempted by the Snoho-
mish merchants owing to the recent
raise granted by this company, all
trading by these same employees will
be transferred to Everett, Sears,
Roebuck & Co, or to any other con-
Germ outside of this town.

John FITZPATRICK TO
LEAD STEEL CAMPAIGN

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July s.
President Gompers has resigned the
chairmanship of the National Com
mittee for organizing iron and steel
workers, and John Fitzpatrick,
President of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, has been elected in his
place. At meeting of representa-
tives of International and State
bodies, held at Atlantic City, to
perfect plans for an intensive or
ganizing campaign in the steel in
dustry, President Gompers declared
his hearty sympathy with this
movement, but he felt that as he is
unable to devote the necessary time
to the campaign he is not justified
in retaining the chairmanship of
the Committee, and he does not
want to be merely an honorary
chairman.

VOORHEES, WORKERS
SHOW UGLY SPIRIT

WASHINGTON, July 5.-In let
ter to Congressman Good Chairman
of the House Committee on Appro-
priations, a large employer of labor
declares than an out-of-work is a
social menace. The name OF the
employer is not made public. For
the past six months he has been
working as a laborer in industrial
establishments of various kinds TO
secure first-hand information re
garding the workers sentiments,
and he asked that his name be kept
secret that he may continue his in
yestigatOns,
To an extent which no one can
conceive who has not himself
walked the streets for work, the
axle on which the whole world
turns for the working man is the
job" he said. "As long as he can
enjoy his three meals a day and
think of his own and his familys
future with some certainty, he is a
self-respecting citizen, and all Of
this stuff about unrest is of less in
terest to him than his employer.
But when he is out of a job-then
the axle of his world is busted
its jagged slivers enter and cut his
self-respect and his very soul to
pieces.
To be strong Of mind and body,
willing to work and work hard, to
walk and walk and ask and entreat
and find no work uowheres,' to
hear the curses of those who are
less hopeful than you because they
have walked longer, and to see your
purse making a thinner and thinner
wall between YOU and hoarse and
hollow-chested bumland-that is
enough TO try the most reasonable
mans faith in his country and it's
institutions.
LAS you, of course, know, thou
sands of employers are devising
methods for improving working
conditions in their plants, many in
stituting shop committees. profit
sharing, etc. These are all good
things But they are the frosting
on the cake. The whole thing
starts with the job. That is what
holds the whole thing together"

PHONE STRIKE

(From the State Federation Of
ficial Bulletin, Issued Tuesday,
Indications early this week were
that a basis was being established
for an early settlement of the tele-
phone strike by the Pacific Tele-
graph and Telephone Company
agreeing to the essential demands
of the operators and wiremen. The
tieup which started in Washington
at 7 o'clock the morning of June 20
with a walkout of the Seattle tele-
phone operators, was followed by a
strike of the wiremen Monday
morning. The company attempted
to give service with non-union op-
orators, but the attempt was ad-
mittedly a failure.
California operators and wiremen
had gone out several days before
and Oregon and Nevada telephone
employees went out with Wash
ington. The end of the first week
of the strike brought the informa-
tion from J. p. Noonan, President
of the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, that settle
ment was a possibility.
The operators demanded a mini
mum of 81 a day for beginners with
a maximum of 81 for experienced
operators, and the right of collect
i've bargaining. Wiremen and 9TH
er electricians employed by the
telephone company demanded the
same wages paid shipyard electri-
clans, $6.40 a day, and the right of
collective bargaining.
Negotiations on these demands
had been in progress more than sew
en- months. Although the patience
of the union Representatives was
many times forced to the breaking
point, the order to strike did not
come until the telephone company
indicated determination not to
comply with an order from Post
master General Burleson to grant
the workers the right of bargaining
collectively on wages and condi-
tions
The only violence during the
strike consisted of attacks on some
of the girls by civilian guards en-
ployed by the telephone company.
In Seattle two of the striking tele-
phone girls were struck several
times in the face by guards. One
of the guards has been arrested on
charge of third degree assault,
and is at liberty pending a trial on

noCenCe of Mooney. With me it was
not a question of whether Mooney
was guilty or was innocent, but a
question of securing a fair trial for
him under the existing CirCum-
stances. (Applause) Every effort
that the National Administration was
able to put forth was put forth for
the purpose of trying to secure that
new trial, and we are not through
with it yet. We are still working on
it. (ApplaUSe, long and COntinLed).
But that is not the phase of the
situation that | particularly wanted
to advise you about. I am simply
stating these facts as preliminary to
what is to follow. There has been
carried nthroughout the country a
nationwide agitation for a universal
strike as a protest against the con-
ViCtion of Mooney My friends, do
you realize Just what that action
means to the masses of the people?
DO YOU understand fullN-mOSt of
you do-the struggle that has taken
place in order that trials may take
place by jury where people are aC-
Cused, with the accused having the
opportunity of meeting the witnesses
and the jury face to face, and the
Jury having the opportunity of wit
Messing the manner in which the
witnesses give their testimony? That
change, the establishment of the jury
system, was not brought about for
the purpose of protecting the mon
arch or protecting the nobility 1t
has not been principally essential for
the protection of men of great
wealth; they have usually been in a
position to protect themselves. The
jury system was brought into exist
ence for the purpose Of protecting
poor fellows like you and me from
the power and influence of the other
fellow.
1T may occasionally miscarry; oc-
CaSionallY an injustice or a wrong
may be done, but in the great bulk
of cases Justice is meted out through

Committee Reports

The Committee appointed to ar
range for mass meeting to secure
aid for the British Columbia strik-
ers, announced that on information
that the strike was called off, no
meeting was held. The Committee
called attention to the fact that
the long srilIe left many strikers in
straitened circumstances and that
they still needed aid.
The Committee on the Public
Ownership League reported a rec
ommendation that the Council and
its members join the League, as
well as members of organized labor
generally. The membership fee is
5000
The Mooney Strike Committee re-
ported a deficit of $24 on the dance
given to raise funds. After much
discussion it was decided to pro
rate the shortage and ask affiliated
unions to make up the shortage.
The Committee on Organization
reported the organization of the
Cannery Girls working in the Ev-
erett fruit cannery. Good progress
was made and a new union will
soon be in the field.
