LABOR IN MEET

Representatives of All Unions Gath
er to Adopt Plans for New
Trials for Prisoner.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-More than one
thousand delegates, representing
practically every international
union and central labor organiZa-
ton in the country, attended the
national labor congress here today
which was called by the Interna-
tional Workers Defense league to
adopt definite plans for obtaining
new trials for Thomas J. Mooney
and Warren Billings, now serving
life terms for murder in connection
with the San Francisco prepared

to enforce the demand for new trials
for the convicted men was enthus-

gan with row over the election Of
a presiding officer in the course of
which one delegate was elected
from the hall
John Fitzpatrick, president of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
called the meeting to order and il
troduced E. D. Nolan of San Fran
cisco, secretary-treasurer of the In
ternational Workers league, as per
manent chairman.
Half a dozen delegates insisted
that the delegates should be per-
mitted to elect their own chairman.
1t was decided that Nolan should
act as temporary chairman and that
the selection of a permanent pre-
siding officer be deferred.
E. d. Nolan suggested three pro-
grams for consideration. One was
to appeal to President Wilson for
federal intervention. Another was
to demand the enactment of neces-
sary legislation to make possible
the setting aside of verdicts in
criminal cases where it is shown
conviction was based on perjury.
and the last was for a general
strike. He expressed the belief
that the general strike should not
be used until every other means
had failed.
