WOMEN SECTION
IN STATEMENT
Warn of War Danger
on Armistice Day

In statement issued last night
by the women's department of the
New York District of the Commun-
ist Party, all New York working
women are called upon to join il
the anti-war demonstrations or
Armistice Day, to be held at a series
of outdoors meetings the evening
of November II.
The statement follows in part
Working women of New York
must join with the entire conscious
working class to renew their pledge
to fight against imperialist war on
November II, the day when the i'm
perialists hypocritically try to hide
war preparations by gestures OF
peace.
"The true working women must
in particular realize what the prep
arations of war mean to them. In
1914 and 1918, they were drawn
from their homes into industry to
replace the men driven to the bat
tie fields. Since then, the numbers
of women in industry have steadily
increased. Women have been used
to displace men workers thrown out
of jobs by the introduction of new
machinery and at much lower wages.
More women driven into the shops

uneasiness prevails in Tammany and
upstate democratic party circles.
The suicide was deliberately and

for about 20 hours by DIR. Charles
Norris, chief medical examiner, as
he says to save the bank.
While the depositors were being
deluded by the silence of the medical
commissioner, John j. Raskob,
Smiths campaign manager prac-

funds into it to prevent spectacular
crash from exposing the generally
rotten Tammany and financial

Tom Mooney
Death Bed Confession
Is Made

Fresh evidence that HON Mooney
and Warren X. Billings were franz
ed up on charges of murder by the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation of San Francisco thirteen
years ago is contained in affidavits
just appearing that certain Lewis
Smith, OF Cleveland, actually set
off the preparedness day bomb, for
which the two labor organizers were
convicted
Frank 0. Stevens, of the National
Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio,
swears that Smith told him this,
when they worked together in the
mines of Pipe Greek, Ohio. He
states that Smith died in Cleveland,
July 4, 1922, and made death bed
confession to the same story, and
that his sister can bear witness.
Confirms Report.
Mrs. George Monroe, sister of
Lewis Smith, now in Bellaire, Ohio,
when questioned, admitted that the
statement OF stevens was correct,
and that Smith had previously told
her, also.
City Treasurer Duncan Matheson
of San Francisco, who was the cap
tain of detectives most active in rail-
reading Mooney and Billings at the
time of their arrest, now says that
the Smith confession explains the
bombing satisfactorily, and is in ac-
cord with his theory that ali out
slider set off the bomb, though he
says he never heard of Lewis Smith.
Superior. Judge Franklin A. Grif-
fin, who, after presiding at the
Mooney trial, saw the entire list of
prosecution witnesses exposed as
rerjurers, and who has repeatedly
appealed for a pardon for Mooney
and Billings, yesterday repeated his
opinion that they are both entirely
innocent.
