CAPT. ALFRED DREYFUS

Was a Jewish Coptain in the French Army who was convict ed by a secret military tribunal in 1894 of having divulged state secrets to a foreign power, and was sentenced to penal servitude for life. He was imprisoned on Devils Island, French Guiana. The efforts to obtain revision of his case involved men prominent in all branches of the service and agitated France for years. He was accorded second trial in the fall of 1899 and sentenced to ten years imprisonment and later was pardoned when suicide and confession of the real prin- cipal in the case made indisput- able DrefeyuS' innocence.
 It will be remember that the stir made in American diplomat ic circles had considerable bear ing on the reopening of this case. Regardless of raciality the right should and must prevail was the sentiment of Americans.
 The ardor and heat of war has now passed many years. Moon ey and Billings still pay the pen atty of the madness of wars and labor wars. This case remains a blot upon the reputation of the justice and fairness of the American people. Every organ ization with any love of the principles of liberty, justice and freedom, should raise it's voice in protest against the continuation of the persecution of Mooney and Billings.
The Alaskan., 1929-04-19

interruptions element among the employing interests, the oppor- tunity seemed made to order. To blame the outrage on certain agitatOrS in the labor world doubtless appealed to the foes of organized labor as possessing all the elements of stroke of genius.
 "Fickert (the district attorney during the Mooney triaD and his associates have conspired to fa- bricate evidence, and have at tempted, in the grossest manner, to intimidate and bIackmail a prospective woman witness"
 1t is hardly necessary to say more. Mooney and Billings are entitled to a pardon, and to such poor restitution as can be made for the ten years they have spent in prison. LABOR, Washington ID. c.

TIME TO RIGHT INJUSTICE MOONEY CASE AT THE FORE
 AGAIN

|. Governor L. C. Young O1 Call1- OTnia has inClma ted that he will examine the cases against ThoS. J. Mooney ana Warren K. Bill IngS, now serving life sentences in San Quentin penitentiary for taking part in bomb explosion that killed ten persons and wounded forty others during a preparedness parade in San Francisco in 1916.
 The latest development is an affidavit by ESCelle Smith, who SWearS that she was threatened With imprisonment if she didn't identity Mooney.
 It is hard to see how the Gov ernor can do less than pardon the men, and urge the legisla- ture to make some financial compensation for the years they have spent in prison. The case is really one of the most as founding pieces of labor batting ever known.
 Judge Franklin A. Griffith who presided at the Mooney-Blll- ingS trial and sentenced the de- tendants, has been fighting for ten years, first to get them a new trial and then to secure a par don. In a recent letter to Gov ernOr Young, Judge Griffin says:
 Subsequent revelations damn ed every witness who testified before me against them as per furious or mistaken. EStelIe smith has admitted her teSti- mony was false. The Edeous were completely diScredited. OX- man is completely out of the case, as a perjuror who has also tried to Suborn perjury in anoth- Cner witness. John Mcdonald mas since sworn to an affidavit that he knew nothing about the crime"
 Such a statement from the trial judge ought to settle the case. in addition, every living Juror, save one, has urged the pardon Of Mooney and Billings.
 These men were framed be- cause certain employing inter eStS of San Francisco, particular y the public utility interests, wanted to discredit the organ lled labor movement, and con- acienceless public officials were willing to cooperate with crook led detectives in manufacturing evidence to railroad" innocent men to the gallows or the peni- tentiary.
 J. B. Densmore, a leading off cial of the Department of Labor, who investigated the matter for the United States government, says so in his report of the case, and continues:
 "As for their plan of opera tions, it was simplicity itself. A terrible crime had been commit ted, and popular indignation and horror gloWed at fever heat.
 From the standpoint of the
