HIGH COST OF
LIVING POEM
BY Charley L. Cant, editor of
"Guemes BeachcOmber."

BY Charley L. Cant, editor of
"Guemes BeachcOmber."
Good Lord Just place upon my head
The mark of Cain, l do not care,
While earth is running riot red
And thieves are ruling everywhere.
Give me this day, my daily bread,
| pray to all the Saints, and thence
You give me gitney loaves instead,
For finch they charge me 13 cents.
Great God, l seek the grocer's bin,
And though I'm prayerful hour by
hour,
He takes my purse and half my skin
For just one fifty weight of flour,
l wander to the butchers block
And seek steak, boil or roast,
But all l get is just hook,
Which breaks me to the uttermost.
Lord, see how cheap the butcher buys
And see how great the butchers
charge,
He goes from basement to the skies,
To skin a fellow, by and large.
Lord when we call for beans and
peas,
Tomatoes, milk and cans of corn,
1t makes a fellow chill and freeze
And rue the day that he was born.
Great God of Love, our spirit grieves,
Our threadbare clothes let in the
dawn:
How long, o, Lord, are golden thieves
And profiteers, to carry on?
Give US this day, our daily bread,
Give us this day our daily meat,
We pray. but we receive instead,
Thirteen cent loaves from dollar
wheat.

WHAT ABOUT
THE MOONEY
BILLINGS CASE?
Chicago Federation Sec
rotary to Shout This
When Liberty or
Free Speech Is
Topic

San Francisco, Feb. I'm a very
moving letter to Mrs. Rena Mooney,
wife of the California labor leader
who, with Warren X. Billings, has
served almost six years of life SEN
tence because of his loyalty to or
ganized labor, Edward N. Nockels,
secretary of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, declares:
wherever the opportunity pre-
sents itself, wherever we are told
about our impeccable courts, our lib
erty and our free speech, am going
to shout: What about the Mooney
Billings case?'"
Nockels, in his letter, takes the
position that the Mooney Billings
case is the foremost labor case that
requires the concerted support of
the American labor movement in the
unremtting task of arousing the
world to the gigantic corporation
conspiracies which have for their pur-
pose the throttling of militant labor.
Explaining his stand in appearing
recently before the national conven-
ton in Chicago of the International
Seamen's Union and urging and OBJ
tanning financial support for the
Mooney Billings defense, Nockels
writes:
81 took the position before the
Seamen's Union, as have in all
other instances, that the Mooney
Billings case is the foremost labor
case of them all. That is should re-
quire the first attention of any labor
organization or any body of citizens
to the tremendous and grave injustice
done Mooney and Billings and which
the courts of this country cannot
dodge. 1t is organized labor's duty
to keep the Mooney Billings case in
the foreground and wherever we are
told about our impeccable courts, our
liberty and free speech, | am going
to should; What about the Mooney
Billings case?'
81 told the seamen's convention
that | wanted their contribution sent
to Rena Mooney in order to keep up
the publicity, in order that Tom
Mooney may continue to print Tom
Moneys Monthly and that it re-
quired time and money on the out
side to keep the fires burning and
to keep up the agitation. | told them
that | did not care what Tom printed
in Tom MONEYS Monthly so long as
he could keep it going and keep tell
ing all of us that Mooney and Bill
ings are innocent, that they have
been framed against and that they
are in the penitentiary for life, and
to that end the defense must have
funds"
The seamen's convention donated
500 to the defense work despite the
unusual financial situation confront
my their organization owing to the
general economic depression and on
slaughts upon the organization by
the shipping interests.
AS sympathetic to the defense, but
coming from a rather unexpected
source is the personal communica-
tion to Tom Moneys Monthly from
Henry L. Mencken, Americas fore
most critic of life and letters, who
declares:
at seems almost incredible that
Mooney is still in prison in the face
Of the latest confessions. But decent
Justice seems to be formally adj
iourned in the United States"
