PARDONS
For Mooney and Billings
Advised by District
Attorney

San Francisco. co.-District Attorney
Brady has asked Governor Stephens
to pardon Thomas j. Mooney and
Warren K Billings, who are serving
life sentences in connection with the
preparedness day bomb explosion in
July, 1916, which killed 10 persons
and injured many others.
II believe no person who permits
himself to analyze the situation" T"
Brady's letter said, "entertains any
doubt that Mooney and Billings were
convicted on false testimony"
When Brady was elected he let it be
understood that he favored new
trial for Mooney and Billings, but
since election he had made no move
along that line.
Trade unionists have insisted that
a new trial, rather than a pardon, be
granted the accused, as a trial will
permit the exposure of perjuries and
the entire 'frame-up," which, it is
declared, involves many prominent cit
liens and police officials

MINES SHUT DOWN
Strike Growing in Non
Union Fields

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Large anti-union
coke and coal interests are surprised
at gains made among their employees
by organizers of the United Mine
Workers.
The unionists have made such in
roads that representatives of the anti
union properties met in this city to
break the tie-up. Among those hit
are the Berwind- White mines that
furnish coal for the transportation
systems of New York city, and the
H. c. Frick coal and coke company,
which is controlled by the steel trust.
The miners claim that they have
closed over $50 workings in the Fay
ette-Connellsville field The coal own
ers make no attempt to conceal their
surprise that the trade unionists have
hit points that were considered invul-
nerable and the experience of the
western Pennsylvania coal owners
will make them more cautious in deal
ing with their non-union employees,
for they now realize that every one
of their employees is liable to join the
union.

CLEAN THIS STATE"
Is Pledge of Rhode Island
Strikers

Providence, R. I.-More than 1000
textile strikers stood in front of the
state house, and with uplifted hands,
repeated after President Mcmahon of
the United Textile Worekrs a pledge
to "go out and clean up this state
from the rottenness that controls it,
and "to do all in our power to purge
the state house of unclean politicians
not only in the senate but in the house
of representatives.
The strikers thronged the state
house in an effort to induce the senate
to act on the 48-hour bill, which is now
in the judiciary committee. BY vote
of 26 to the senate refused to take
it from the committee. One senator
declared that his colleagues would
go down in history as moral towards
unless they brought the bill out and
voted on it on its merits.
When the strikers were denied ad-
mission to the senate gallery, they ad-
journed to the plaza in front of the
state house

OLD AGE PENSION
Endorsed By Retail Clerks
and Committee Ap-
pointed

Retail Clerks Union, local 119,
held one of it's old time meetings
Monday night in the labor temple. A
good attendance was present, large
amount of business was transacted,
and much enthusiasm prevailed. Sew
eral applications for membership were
read and one new member, Geo. j.
Sucker, of the Max Joffe furniture
store, was initiated
The question of old age pensions
came up and several good talks on this
all-important-to-w workers subject were
listened to with much interest, and
after lengthy discussion the organi-
zation, by unanimous vote, went on
record as favoring it, and authorized
the president to appoint committee
to work in conjunction with other
organizations to further it. The
committee appointed is Robert Fal-
lert, Ferd Wiseman and George
Smith.
To wind up live and successful
meeting the clerks voted unanimously
to go on record as favoring the day
light saving, and instructed the sec
retary to so notify the Retail Mer-
chants Association.

FIGURES CONFUSE

Washington.-Wa Wage rates in the
packing industry, issued by the bu-
reau of labor statistics, show how
misleading is the claim that wages
are 100 per cent higher than before
the war" This statement always as
sumes that pre-war rates assured liv-
ing standards, although the contrary
is invariably true.
The bureau of labor statistics makes
this reference to pre-war rates in the
packing industry:
THE 1917 average rate of wages
per hour of males by departments
ranged from % Clio cents in the can
ming department to 81 $40 cents in
the cattle killing department, and of
females ranged from Is cents in the
hog killing department to Il 7-lO
cents in cutting, or fresh pork de-
partment."

EMPLOYER HAD NO
DEFENSE

ZPierre, S. D.-The state supreme
court has ruled in the case of Rich
ardson VS. Farmers Cooperative
Union that where an employer has not
insured his risk he is not entitled
to the limitation of the payments un-
der the compensation law in case Of
injury to an empolye. The court held
that the legislature did not intend that
employers who fail to insure be al
lowed to claim the limitations of the
compensation law in settling with the
employee, but that common law ac-
tion is the proper procedure, with the
employer barred from making any
defense of contributory negligence or
assumed risk.
The decision, in effect, means that
where there is no insurance the en-
ploye needs only to prove injury and
the jury fixes the amount due him
without consideration of the limita-
tion of the workmen's compensation
law.

PEONAGE IN LAUN-
DRIES

New Orleans.-"Any doubt that
there is an element among the en-

ployes into slavery should be dispell-
ed by the suit tried in one of the local
courts, Tuesday" says the Louisiana
Federationist.
"The Central laundry sought to
enjoin Alcide Olivier from working
for another concern, the Peoples CO.
operative laundry, claiming he was
under contract with it to work a year
for SO a week. Judge Porter Parker
declared that any contract that pre-
vented a man from working for whom
he pleased bordered on peonage, and
refused to enjoin Olivier. The Central
laundry has brought suit for $4,000
damages, claiming its business has
been injured to that extent"

BANKERS EMPLOYE
DEFENDS, BIG SALARY

New York-H Parker Willis, an
employe of the federal reserve board,
defends the princely salaries paid Of
ficials of the federal reserve bank.
Writing in the Journal of the
American Bankers Association, Mr..
Willis SCOTS at the theory that these
salaries should be based on the fact
that cabinet officials are paid $4,000
year.
This basis of comparison, says Mr..
Willis, is purely artificial, and must
evidently be rejected" because it is
the result of custom and tradition.
The defense of high salaries is in
teresting to trade unionists, who are
called upon to present their living
costs and bare necessities to men who
insist that there are no classes in
this country"

ZANE GREY
PICTURES NEVER
FAIL TO PLEASE

Of all popular novelists of today
none has appealed more powerfully or
persistently, when transferred to the
motion picture screen, than has Zane
Grey - whose gripping story, THE
Last Trail" filmed by William Fox as
a special production, is to open an
engagement ON Sunday at the Rialto
theatre.
Most picture lovers will doubtless
recall especially four other Zane Grey
stories that were utilized by Fox-all
with William Farnum as the star.
These were: Riders of the Purple
Sage" "The Rainbow Trail, "The
Lone Star Ranger" and THE Last of
the Duanes." Splendid pictures all,
splendidly staged and superbly acted.
The records established by these, both
for artistry and for box office strength
certainly promise well for the forth
coming presentation of "The Last
Trail" at the Rialto theatre.
