MANY LEADERS
WELCOME LABOR
DEFENSE meet
United Front for Class
War Prisoners

William r. Dunno, editor Of the Chi
eago DAILY WORKER, said today re-
gardlng the conference for Labor De-
Tense to be held in Chicago June 2s,
"As editor of workers. newspaper,
it is very frequently that receive
letters from political and Industrial
prisoners and their families.
These numerous letters make II
plain to me that It constitutes q first
duty of the labor movement to look
after the comfort and we'll being Of
its hostages to the master class and
their almost invariably destitute ia
miles. If the proposed conference
for labor defense does nothing else
but assure material and moral aid for
these victims of the struggle, It will
have accomplished a very necessary
and commendabIe service to the work.
ers' cause"
The proposed conference, the pur-
pose OF which is to unity all the forces
in the labor movement for the defense
of class-war prisoners and for material
aid to confined workers and their ia
miles, regardless Of opinion or anil
alton, is meeting with approval from
all quarters of the country. Alice
Stone Blackwell Of Boston and Ellen
Hayes of Wellesley, Mass. have given
their hearty endorsement to the con-
ference.
Covington Ami Hall of Common
wealth College, Arkansas, who has
distinguished himself in behalf of l.
w. w. prisoners, writes, ITO my way
of thinking, this conference should
have been called long ago. A recent
experience, where another man and
l were working on the same case un-
known to each other, only serves to
confirm me in the belief that the work
of the different defense organizations
should be coordinated as soon as 1t is
possible to do So"

came. when one by one speakers arose
to get pulled down in the following
order: William F. Kruse, Max Schacht-

Gertrude Welsh Catherine Polishuk,
Elsa Bloch and Ida Eckels who were
crowded into the wagon with the rest.
AS the wagon milIed about to get turn

boos as the wagon pulled out.
What's more, the crowd refused to

Nanny Gomez had lost the cop who
first arrested them, was also pointed

THINGS are humming in China. The
4 4OO,000,000 exploited Chinese are
beginning to make themselves heard
and felt. Perhaps one Of Woodrow
Wilson's famous fourteen points made
a stronger impression on them than
was expected. That is, the right of ma
tions to determine their own destiny.
It's a good idea provided that those
who have the wish also have the way.
The Chinese are beginning to prove
they have both.
A RTHUR BRISBANE drops little

with courage. They know that the
power which they represent can at
any moment save them and over

aries will feel so confident They will
probably sing the version of Nearer

making war on China But an excuse

will undoubtedly retaliate. Some
American missionary or gunman will
lose his life and then the hysteria will
be worked up. The movie houses will
throw pictures of Notwithstanding
Cinnamon on the screen and the
Nordics will see yellow. But China

lovely girl in her teens, Miss Vir-

wich Village apartment.
Her death was brought to light
yesterday by W. J. Baer, an elderly
artist friend of hers, who read Il

vealed that Miss Moon was found
dead last Friday by Miss Martha
Sawyers, a Texas stained glass de-

The body was cremated Sunday and
friends will send the ashes to her
home, in Memphis, Tenn.
Miss Sawyers said she knew the
woman, who was known to half the
Southland as Miss Ginger" only as
an agnostic, who had no fear of
and boasted of the ii bona f1de pro-
posals she had spurned when a South
ern belle and Confederate spy.
Baer produced a sheaf of letters
from Miss Moon to him, dating back
TO 1902. She told of carrying NOR
phine and dispatches through the
Union lines and twice wheedled her
captors into releasing her with mere
ly a warning. She wrote that she
was first arrested in Cincinnati in
S63 by c.. Kemper, one-time Gen.
Grants chief of staff. The letter is
replete with the names of Federal
officers who yielded to her charms and
let her go.
She died as much of a rebel as
ever" said Oliver Jones, husband of
Miss Moons niece, who was Virginia
Warner, an actress. He showed let
ters from Jefferson Davis commend

Of the Confederate cause.
Until six years ago Miss Moon
lived in Memphis. Then she was
in the movies in Hollywood in char

cluding members of the Diet, met yes
terday and adopted resolutions calling
for the recession of Japan's reserva-

was that the age limit mentioned in
