MOONEY FRAMED,
WRITER DECLARES
Fitzpatrick Supports S
New Affidavit

CHICAGO, June 4.--Anot h r
theory of the origin of the San Fran
cisco parade bombing for which Tom
Mooney and Warren K. Billings were
framed up was today supported by
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor.
Today Fitzpatrick made public an
affidavit bearing the signature of AL
fred H. Sphinx, sports writer, who
died last week, which declares that
the explosion was caused by agents
of the German Imperial Government.
This fact, according to Sphinx, was
known to him at the time.
The affidavit declares that Mrs.
Sphinx became acquainted with Mr..
and Mrs. Powell Mertz while they
were living in Oakland, Calf, and on
the day of the explosion the latter
warned that something awfur was
going to happen in San Francisco.
Sphinx says that Mertz was "reputably
a German agent"
1t further declares that Sphinx kept
the information to himself because of
the ill health of his wife, and when
she died he informed Fitzpatrick, ex-
acting a promise from him that he
would not make it public until Spink's
death.

The WHITEWASH

GENEVA, June 1.-Two dominant
delegates were absent today when the
fiftieth session of the League of Ma
tions council met at noon. They were
Foreign Minister Aristide BRAND, of
France, and Gustav Stresemann, for
eign secretary of Germany. Both
were kept away by "illness."
Gen. Bettancourt, of Cuba, opened
the session with speech reviewing
the work that has been done.
A report will be made by the COM
mittee which investigated the secret
shipment Of machine guns from Italy
into Hungary.
The Polish-Lithuanian boundary
dispute will again be brought for
ward, but there will be no definite
settlement. Premier Waldemaras, of
Lithuania, will explain the obstacles
which have arisen "in the way of a
solution"

BETRAY SUITS OF
RADIUM VICTIMS

NEWARK, N. j., June 4.--The ra-
dunn suits filed by the five young
New Jersey women, Edna Hussman.
Quinta Mcdonald, Albina Larice,
Katharine Schaub and Grace Fryer,
who are doomed to early death, were
settled" out Of court early this after
noon.
Under the settlement, arranged by
Federal Judge William Clark of New
ark, each will receive $4,000 in cash
from the United States Radium Cor
poration, an annuity of $500, and doc
tors and hospital bills will be paid
for the rest of their lives. This settle
ment, considering the fact that doc
tors give them less than one year to
live, makes the settlement one OF the
most absurd in the history of United
States legal procedure.
For past medical expenses each will
be paid $4,000, less than half of the
money which each has expended OF
doctors bills in the past.

of treason practised by various techs
nicians now on trial, the Central Exc
cutive Committee of the All-Union
Communist Party has issued an ap-
peal to all its members to aid in the
elimination of errors, treason and
waste. The full text of the appeal
follows:
"To all members of the ALI Union
Communist Party: In its intensive
reorganization work, the Soviet Union
is encountering increased pressure
from international capitalism, to-
gether with resistance from the ku-
laks, rich peasants, and the sabotage
and treachery of certain specialists.
"The tasks of reconstruction before
us cannot be achieved without the
assistance of the masses who must
control and watch the whole appara-
tus from which the useless elements
must be eliminated.
"Our main slogan must be: Self
criticism regardless of persons
"The main tasks before our Party
at this time are: Free criticism with
in the Party and application of the
free election principle within the
Party without exception, severer pun
ishments for offenses committed by
Communists, and increased work
among the masses, especially among
the youth and in the village. We
must also wage an energetic struggle
against the violation of trade union
democracy, and for the gaining of
new cadres for trade union work, and
the extension of control commissions
thruout industry and transportation
as whole.
eve must Furthermore carry on a
ceaseless fight against bureaucracy
within the administration Of the Sow
liet Union"

TAMMANY POLICE
IN CRAFT MIRE
Republican Gu stom S
Men Also Bribed

The Tammany graft trail yesterday
led to the police department when
forty patrolmen including nearly a
dozen sergeants faced investigation
on charges Of ribe-taking in connec-
tion with the smuggling of liquor into
New York City from transatlantic
liners.
AS a result of the same disclosures
eighteen customs guards were
promptly fired in the usual attempt
employed by the government to con-
vey the impression that only minor
officers were responsible. A hurried
call for two hundred additional federal
operatives was sent olt for the dis
trict.
Wholesale bribery of police officials
and custom guard employees, the
smuggling in of cascades of booze,
and even of narcotics, threatened
shake-up of the police department
greater than that of any in years,
were the developments which were
yesterday made public.
The customs officials are republican
controlled. This fact now brings the
republican party neck and neck with
the corrupt Tammany democratic ma
chine in the race for graft laurels.
While these revelations were taking
place in the police department con
tinued disclosures at the trial of

JURY CONvICTS
STEVE MENDOZA
IN new FRAMEUP
Verdict is Involuntary
Manslaughter
(SpeciaL to the Daau Worksrl

(SpeciaI to the Daily WorkeT)
WILKES-BARRE, June 4. -- A
verdict of involuntary manslaughter
was handed down late Saturday
against Steve MENDOZA, friend of
Sam Bonita, who has already been
railroaded to the Eastern penitenfi-
airy, at trial in which the treacher-
GUS officials of the Lewis-Cappel-
mi machine cooperated with coal
operator justice to convict the in
nocent miner. The case of Mendo-
la like that of Bonita arose through
the shooting of Frank Agati, mine
contractor and personal body-guard
of Cappelini.
The jury was out only five hours
in a case marked by all the pref
udice and injustice present at the
trial of Sam Bonita. Tried before
the same operatOr-contrOlled Judge
Mclean, it was known that MENDOZA
was doomed before the trial began
The case began last Thursday and
for over two days officials of the
United Mine Workers took turns in
giving their testimony intended to
frame" the innocent miner.
The defense is planning an ap-
peal.

H YMAN REFUTES

Will Continue Fight on
Piece Work

The Industrial Council of Cloak
Manufacturers, co-partners of the
Sigman-Schlesinger clique, who have
destroyed the international Ladies
Garment Workers Union, have taken
another step in an effort to injure
the growing movement that threatens
to eliminate right wing control.
The first step was taken within the
last few days, when the bosses
granted on paper the 40-hour week
which was called for in the agreement
won by the cloakmakers in the 1926
strike.
This latest Slander Hyman move is
the issuance of a long statement in a
trade journal in which Louis Hyman,
leader of the left wing Joint Board
is maliciously slandered by the bosses.
They say that Hyman, in visit to

TIES UP
ARGENTINE PORT
Police Attacks Fail to
Weaken Men

BUENOS AYRES, June 4.-With
picket lines and demonstrations inter
rdpted now and again by police at
tacks, the strike of the 5000 harbor
workers at Bahia Blanca continues
with the same determination it began
with, according to reports from the
southern port.
The spirit of the striking longshore-
men is excellent, the leaders of the
strike report. A one hundred per
cent turnout on the picket lines has
been maintained since the beginning
of the walkout and in spite of the
terrorism of the authorities, there is
no symptom Of weakening among the
men.
On the contrary, the leaders assert,
strike sentiment is growing among
the rank and file of other industries
in the city and it is expected that the
longshoremen will be joined by other
workers in a sympathetic walk
out that may tie up the whole town,
A dozen vessels have been lying in
the port since the strike was called
unable to discharge their cargoes OF
take on freight. Strikebreakers, which
the owners attempted to import, have
proved a complete failure.
