Mooney Prosecutors
Are Being EnguIfed

San F.ancisco--"DuncaE Mathes0n,
captain of detectives, and Charles
Golf, captain of police, now stand
practically alone among the police Of
ficers who were intimately concerned
in the arrest and conviction of Warren
Billings and Thomas Mooney" says
the San Francisco Call.
"They cling stubhornly as ever to
the old tumbling stony of the guilt of
these men. Little by little the Draper
Hands and Richard Smiths tell the
true facts of the case, the perjury
of the Oxmans and other witnesses
is brought into the light and witness
ses like John c.. Lawlor, who saw the
Moneys on the roof of the Eilers
building, bare the methods used in
those trials to twist their testimony
to fit the preconceived program of the
prosecution.
"When John Mcdonald, the man
who identified Mooney and Billings,
returns 70 San Francisco 10 admit
that he testified falsely, Captains
Matheson and Golf merely say that
if he is speaking the truth they will
do their best to see that he is in
dicted for perjury. They do not say
that if this is true then all the Ella
borate fabrication OF evidence against
Mooney and Billings has fallen to
pieces and hat these two men should
not be in prison. In their own minds,
however, they must be convinced of
this.
'They must see, Of course; that
there is a direct connection between
the perjury Of a witness and the
weakness of a conviction. They mlst
realize the terrible inconsistency of
sending an Oxman or a Mcdonald tc
the same prison where Mooney and
Billings are confined while at the
same time they persistently derry that
the two men already in prison were
unjnstly convicted. And yet they!

Lever Law is Illegal
PrOfiteers Escape

Wash:ngton-The United States
supreme court has set aside section
4 of the Lever food control act. The
government used this section as
basis for it's application for the. in
junction against the miners, issued
by Federal Judge Anderson.
Judge Anderson let it be under
stood, however, that if the Lever act
was not in existence he would enjoin
the miners on the ground that their
strike hampered railroads in trans
porting the mail.
Section made 1T unlawful "to limit
facilities for transporting, producing,
harvesting, manufacturing, storing or
dealing in any necessities; to prevent,
limit or lessen the production of any
necessities in order to enhance the
price thereof or to exact excessive
prices for any necessities"
The court was unanimous in it's op-
position to the section, although
Justices Brandeis and Pitney did not
sign, explaining that they subscribed
to It's findings but dissented from the
reasoning by which they were reached
The courts decision rested mainly
on the lndefnitcness of the act, which
Chief Justice White declared to be
"as broad as human imagination"
The court sustained lower courts
that the act violates the federal con-
stitution, which declares that in all
criminal prosecutions the accused
"shall have the righ: to be informed
Of the nature and cause of the accusa-
sations" and that indictments must
contain definite charges and not gen
eralizations, such as unreasonable
profit" that are subject TO countless
interpretations.
The decision means the collapse of
profteering cases that have been con-
ducted by the department of justice.

Honor "Bin" Wilson
CIear-Cut UniOniSt

Washington-As the first secretary
of labor, William B. Wilson made his
last address before organized labor
at reception given in his honor by
the central labor union on the eve of
his retirement from office. President
Gompers, Secretary Morrison and
other members of the A. F. of L.
executive council, together with other
trade union executives joined in prais-
ing the trade unlonlst's administra-
ton of an office that is so entwined
in the life of the American people,
especially the wage eaIners.
In replying to the kindly senti-
ments, the guest stated that for sew
eraI years there has been a campaign
waged to destroy the department of
Iapor, carried on under the guise or
attempts to establish a department
of welfare. He said that the adj
vocates of this plan did not dare
openly attack the department of labor
but hoped to cut it to pieces by trans
ferring bureaus now under it's juris-
diction to the new department. He
said the women's bureau, the chill
dren,s bureau and other branches of
the department have been included in
the tentative draft of the new
scheme, which would leave the de-
partment of labor only the concilia-
tion division and the bureau of labor
statistics. The retiring official was
presented a gold watch.

tool in the struggle to overwhelr
democracy and put an end to Ancri-
crn progress, politically and indus
tIia!ly.
Workers were urged to ignore labor
injun,t.on, and profteering and the
shameful and unjustifed over capital
izaticn of industrial and commercial
projects, which compel the public to
pay interest on inflated prices, were
denounced

sunl. l.oIt and recognition of:
"Thc right of the working people

HOW A BOYS LOVE FOR SKATING
re HELPED DEVELOP MODERN SKATE
Reainnlna Of . New Era.

The first improvement was the sub
stitution of a metal top for the heavy
and clumsy wooden foot rest This re-
duced the weight, but Barney found it
still left all the inconvenience of the
straps at toe and heel to gather the
chilling slush. He then hit upon the
radical Improvement OF the clamp. The
first step in this process, which was the
basis of the 1854 patent. was a clamp
across the toe of the skate which still
left strap at the heel The idea
worked we'll and was soon expanded to
include clamp at the heel. This new
clamp, however. which did away with
the straps was lengthwise of the skate
instead of across the heel, and the two
We're soon connected up When Barney
devised the idea OF the side lever con-
trolling the two clamps a complete new
skate had been devised which proved
immensely popular.
Other Barney inventions followed,
one Of the chief Of which was the
unique oval metal button in the heel
which he invented to do away with the
old-fashioned long screw in the heel
OF the skate which had to be screwed
up into the heel of the shoe This but
ton fastened into a hole in a metal
plate which had to be fastened to the
heel of the boot. This devise never
proved so popular, however as the all
clamp skate after the side lever was
attached to it,
Barney was 10 years Of age when he
patented the clamp idea In 1854. 1t was
dozen years later before he started
the manufacture of Skates on a bust
ness basis, although he had made in
his fathers shop, where machinery was
available for his use, models of all the
skates he invented
Barney entered into partnership with,
John Berry in Springfield in 1866 for
the manufacture of skates. He bought
out the Berry interest In the business
two years later and continued the de-
velopment Of the skate under Barney
and Berry name. Today it is the motto
OF the company which he founded, that
I'm every land where water freezes the
