RELIEF FOR MOONEY
Can Only BE Secured From
Governor Stephens

San Francisco-Th Thomas Mooney
has left the jurisdiction of the judicial
department of the state and is now in
the custody of the executive depart
ment, and the only power that can
release him is vested in the governor
of California, writes Fremont Older,
editor Of the San Francisco Call, in
reply to a query from Rev Edward
L. Parsons, bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal church, on the status Of the
Mooney case.
THE new doubts raised by the testi-
mony Of Officer Hand, who has laid
bare the methods used by the prose
cution, have started many of US ques-
tioning, and the need of further action
seems to be widely felt" said the
clergyman
Nearly four years have passed
since the Oxman perjury letters were
discovered said Editor Older
"These letters clearly raised a doubt
as to the validity of Oxman's testi-
many and the good faith of the dis
trict attorney who prosecuted Moon
ey. But the local officials have been
slow to act. The reason for this neg
lect is obvious The articulate pub
lie opinion had been aroused against
Mooney and Billings because of pre-
vious criminal acts they were sus-
pected of having committed. 1t was
the powerful people of the city who
created this public opinion, and when
confronted with the facts which threw
suspicion on all of the evidence en-
ployed to convict, answered that
Mooney and Billings are bad men and
are in the right place, regardless Of
the validity of the evidence.
"The people who comprise the op-
position to correcting the wrong that
has been done in these cases have en-
tirely lost sight of the fact that the
man or men who are responsible for
the bomb explosion are still at large
and are free at any time to commit
even more fiendish crime than the
one of 1916"

WOMAN'S UNION
LABEL LEAGUE

With new quarters to assemble in,
there seems to be new pep" in the
activities of the Women's Union La
bel League. The league met in the
hall in the new labor temple last Fri
day night and there was large at
tendance present. Much routine bus
mess was transacted and several spe-
cial matters of much Importance to
the organization were discussed. The
league is growing fast in membership
these days, and an active campaign for
new members is to be waged. Two
candidates were initiated at the meet
ing Friday night and ten new applica-
tions were presented for considera-
tion. Some very effective work on
behalf of union labeled goods in this
city can be looked forward to from
now on from the ladies of the local
league.

REJECT KANSAS IDEA

Oklahoma City, Okla.-In his mes
sage to the legislature Governor Rob
ertson gave notice that a cant
strike" law in this state will have to
be passed over his veto. Governor
Allen, Of Kansas, recently told Okla
homa citizens of the glories of his
handcuff legislation, but the story has
not impressed Governor Robertson,
who says:
Considerable sentiment has been
engendered in certain parts of the
state for the enactment Of law
similar to the industrial court law
of Kansas. don not believe such a
law is wise or sound and hope there
will be no unnecessary agitation of
the subject"

AN'T-STRIKE" Law
With Tinsel Worn Off Has
Rocky Travelling
IN ~ N

Topeka, Kan.-The tinsel has worn
off Aliens an't-strike" law and its
supporters have abandoned their cock
sure attitude on the ancient policy Of
handwriting workers to their jobs.
The governor is conscious that he is
slipping, but that is the extent of his
knowledge on this subject. He has
recommended that the industrial
court, which enforces the law, turn
over the management of public utili-
ties to some other commission and
permit the court to handle strikes.
Last year the Industrial court handl-
ed % disputes and there are some
members of the legislature so hard
headed that they ask if it is not
high price to pay three men $4,000
apiece to handle about two disputes
a month
There has been so much politics
connected with the board, and such
friendship to corporations when they
asked for increa5er rates, that the
hard-headed legislators, above referr
ed to, declare that the whole outfit
should be probed.
There has been complete change
Of sentiment in this state toward the
governors legislation Less than
year ago he was hailed as the savior
Of the country, and was given much
publicity in his nationwide cam
paign for this handcuff legislation,
while he hoped that the vice presi-
Dental nomination, or possibly presi-
dent, would be handed him
Kansas was surely en- the map
those days, but now many persons
who would noJ listen to trade union
lists agree that the toy balloon has
bursted Business men are disgrunt-
led because telephone rates have been
raised and they and other citizens are
growing because gas rates are high
er, while nothing is being done to
curb the profiteers.

OBJECT TO PETTY
GRAFT

New York.-The national associa-
tion OF manufacturers objects to petty
grafters who are forming anti-union
shop organizations for profit" This
is really too much for these virtuous
gentlemen.
1t must not be understood that the
antis are objecting because af any
sense of morality. These petty graft
ers must be eliminated because they
will act as a boomerang and furnish
ammunition for the watchful trade
unionists, it is stated
The big CRATER, who loots billions
from the public, is not referred to in
the manufacturers anti-union shop
bulletin
