MOONEY PROPOSAL HIT
BY SECRETARY WILSON
Cabinet Member States to Labor
Federation That Case Should Be
Decided on Evidence.

Secretary of Labor Wilson. speaking
before the convention of the Amer

urged organized labor to refuse to
support the nationwide strike which
has been proposed as protest against
the conviction of Thomas Mooney.
Mr.. Wilson told the delegates that
the government was investigating the
claim that new evidence justified a
new trial and that he himself was de-
voting much time to the case.
The Secretary declared that so far
the governments inquiry had shown
that the judge and jury before whom
Mooney was tried had conducted
themselves properly and that on the
evidence the jury had to convict. He
admitted that new evidence might de-
velop which would alter the situa-
ton.
