Drilling was stopped Wednesday

the various formations encountered.
how the well was handled and the
steps taken to drill the test to its

The meeting is for the purpose OF
determining whether the hole will be
abandoned at its present depth. or
whether the stockholders will fur
nish additional finances for drilling
the test deeper probably to 5000
feet

That the chances are exceedingly
good for a new test in the Cosmos

nouncement that Montreal parties
are here looking over the territory,
with view to drilling a test.
1t is understood that the repres-
entative of this northern capital has
practically closed contract for

The log of the Cosmos shows that
at around 1900 feet, broken sand

not deemed strong enough to JUST

J. Stanley Webster
A Political Fraud
(By Charles H. kelley

The political faker is abroad in the
land and he is particularly active in
his efforts to deceive the workers
Many of those who made unsavory
records during the recent session of
Congress, forgetting for the time be
ing that there would come a day of
reckoning, are now trying to per
suade the workers that their inter-
ests were safeguarded and protected
and that they should cheerfully sup
port for reelection those wolves of
privileges that are masquerading in
the sleeps clothing of public well
fare.
Senators and congressman who sup
ported the Cummins- Esch bill are
posing as friends of labor" and
point to their votes on minor issues
as justifying their betrayal of the
public interest when they were called
upon to deal with really important
issues.
A notable example of this specious
false pretense is given by Congress
man Webster, of Spokane, Washing
ton, who is serving his first term in
Congress and is a candidate for re-
Interstate Commerce Committee he
introduced and advocated the social
ed Webster amendment to the orig
inal Esch railroad bill. This was the
most drastic anti-strike provision
submitted to either branch of Con-
gress. Under it a court could not
only send strikers to Jail, but could
confiscate the homes of men whose
only offense was that they were af-
filiated with organizations which had
gone on strike. The thing was so
bad that it commanded only a hand
full of votes, but Webster took oc
casion to deliver one of the bitterest
anti-labor speeches ever heard in the
House.
Now Congressman Webster is be-
ing paraded by his newspaper sup
porters as a friend of labor and as
having received the endorsement of
the American Federation of Labor
Of course, there is no truth in this
statement. Instead of being friend
of labor, Congressman Webster was
so unfair that Samuel Gompers
found it necessary to publicly re-
buke him because of his effort to
misrepresent the attitude of the la
Dor movement.
The case of Congressman Webster
is cited because it is typical of the
efforts being made by other baiters
of labor to deceipe the workers into
support of candidates that are di-
rectly harmful to the interest and
welfare of the whole people. The
workers cannot be too careful in ac-
cepting pretensions of fealty that
come from quarters always hereto
fore hostile to their interest. 1t is
unlikely that they will vote for men
who attempted to build up a fake
record by supporting minor measures
advocated by labor and then voted
solidly with privilege when funda-
mental questions were at issue.

Here is an extract from the San
Francisco Call telling what happened:
The Call presents today a most
dramatic and amazing concrete dem
onstration of how justice is bought,
sold and manipulated in this city
under the system perfected and MAIN
tanned by the Pete McDonough ring.
The demonstration was made by
C. Vincent Riccardi, graft witness,
who secured the McDonough, Sulli-
van indictments.
To prove his contention that it was
useless to try McDonough or Judge
Sullivan under McDonough's own per-
sonally manipulated jury system, Ric-
cardi offered to show the grand jury
and a committee of the Bar Associa-
ton Just how the system worked.
His statements were so astounding
that three members of the grand
Jury and two members of the Bar
Association were Immediately named
to go through with Riccardi's sensa-
ti0nal test.
Riccardi looked at the court cal
endar; found criminal case that
was to be tried the next day and
under the eyes of the committee he
did each and all of these amazing
things:
He secured a list of the names of
all the jurors that were to be put
into the box to be drawn in court
when the trial opened the next day.
These names are supposed to be
kent inviolate.
He brought the names in secret to
the committee.
He told the members of the COM
mittee to each select two names from

READ This AND SAY WHETHER YOU
THINK MOONEY GOT A FAIR TRIAL
(From Tom Moneys Monthly

(From Tom Moneys Monthly
The Mooney case is alive again in
San Francisco.
The frame-up ring has been ex-
posed by c. Vincent Riccardi.
For three years Riccardi was a
member of the ring.
He has told all he knew about it.
How judges were bribed.
How juries were handpicked.
How court attaches were manni-
kins in the hands of the frame-up
ring.
How policemen were errand boys
for Pete McDonough, underworld
boss and head of the ring.
How convictions and acquittals
were peddled.
How the guilty were set free for a
price and the innocent railroaded.
Jim Groom, the clerk who drew
the Mooney jury, has been exposed
by Riccardl as an agent OF the ring.
Frank Butler, the clerk who drew
the Billings jury, has been thrown
out of court along with Groom.
The office of County Clerk Null
crevy, custodian of the jury system,
has been involved in Riccardis graft
revelations.
Riccardi backed his charges with
solid, concrete evidence.
He has proved his charges to the
satisfaction of the leading San Fran
risho newspapers.
To the satisfaction of the majority
Of Grand Jury composed mostly OF
reputable business men.
To the satisfaction of the Civic
League of Improvement Clubs, which
is the central council of all the city's
improvement clubs.
TO the satisfaction of the San
Francisco Bar Association.
To the satisfaction of the Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs.
To the satisfaction of the State
Law Enforcement League.
Pete McDonough, head of the ring,
was indicted on Riccarsi's revelations.
He was indicted first on charge of
giving a bride to Police Judge John
j. Sullivan. He was indicted again
on charge of committing perjury
before the Grand Jury.
Judge Sullivan was indicted with
McDonough.
An Indictment was voted against
Judge Morris Oppenheimer as an
agent of McDonough, but few
friends of the ring among the
Grand Jurors succeeded in blocking
the return of the Oppenheimer in
dictment.
When McDonough and Sullivan
were indicted, Riccardi told the Grand
Jury that it would be useless to try
them because the machinery of the
courts was controlled by McDonough.
So astonishing were Riccardi's
charges that the Grand Jurors ques-
toned the truth of them.
Every WE'LL" said Riccardi, 81 will
