WILL RICHARDSON
PARDON MOONEY?
Is LATEST HOPE

San Francisco, Oct. 4.-Despite
Governor William D. Stephenson.
known far and wide as the man who
is holding Tom Mooney and Warren
X. Billings in prison, was defeated
at the recent primary election. IN
der the election laws of California,
a defeated candidate cannot run in
the general election as an indepen-
dent and therefore Governor Steph-
ems will be ousted from office fol-
lowing the general election in No
vember.
1t is held to be certainty that
Friend w Richardson. who defeated
Stephens for the Republican nominal
ton, will be elected over District
Attorney WoOlwine of Los Angeles,
who was nominated for governor on
the Democratic ticket.
The attitude of Richardson on the
Mooney-Billings case is at present
unknown.
The incarceration of Mooney and
Billings and the extravaganza of his
administration were chiefly respon-
sible for stephens defeat. A con-
tributing factor was his sponsorship
Of the King tax bill. which forced
the corporations to pay taxes which
they had previously been able to
evade

all unions in California prior to the

towards Mooney and Billings This.
together with the antagonism of the
corporations, resulted in the over
whelming defeat of stephens
A feature Of the primary election
was the narrow margin by which
Hiram johnson. Republican candidate
for United States senator won the
nomination. 1t was regarded as GER
tain in political circles that Johnson
would be reelected by an enormous
majority and the closeness of the
election was a bomb-shell in the
johnson camp
The narroWness of Johnson's es-
cape from the political graveyard
was chiefly due to the same factors
which caused the defeat of Stephens,
but with this difference. johnson was
forced to sacrifice stephens. his chief
lieutenant, in order to save himself.
johnson won the nomination, but at
a terrible cost. His political ma
chine, known as the strongest in the
country was practically broken.
Johnsons victory had a boomerang
effect which will no doubt hasten the
date of his retirement from politics.
Both johnson and Stephens have
long been bitter foes of organized
labor. and though sponsored by many
labor leaders. the rank and file of the
organized workers were successful
in defeating Stephens and in practi
cally eliminating the johnson ma
chine.

SUPREME COURT
CURB PLANNED BY
ORGANIZED LABOR

"A movement to return to con-
gress the full law-making powers
with which it was endowed by the
trainers of the Constitution" was
launched by the A. F. of L. executive
council at its meeting in this city.
In announcing its purpose to urge
constitutional amendment by which
congress may strike at the authority
Of the supreme court by re-enacting
any law the court declares unconsti-
tutional, the executive council said:
Every great advocate of democ-
racy has feared the encroachment of
the courts. BY gradual process an
intolerable condition has developed.
The congress is no longer the final
authority of legislation. The su-
preme court is the final authority,
and five men. bare majority, de-
termine the issue.
1--WE are governed by an arbitrary,
autocratic bureaucracy of five This
is an abject surrender of constitu-
tional authority, which betrays the
purpose and the clearly stated in
tent of the founders and makers of
America today. We are little less
than an automatically ruled nation"
The amendment will be introduced
in congress at the earliest possible
moment, and its adoption will be one
of the political aims of organized la
Dor throughout the country.
