ARTICLE 9.

None of the famous frame-u up
cases in history have ever collapsed
more completely, thoroughly, with
more discredit to those who built
them, than has the Mooney and
Billings case. In no case has the
absolute and overwhelming proof
that frame-up was committed had
less effect on the results to the vic
tins, except, of course, the Sacco
and Vanzetti case.
Every witness used against
Mooney and Billings has been dis
credited. Most of them have con-
fessed their perjury, and told who
suborned them to perjury. The
trial judge (still on the bench) has
denounced the conviction to three
successive governors of California,
and appealed for pardon or new
trial. All ten surviving jurors
have stated formally that they are
sure they were tricked at the trial,
and that Mooney and Billings did
not nave a lar trial.
They're Still There.
All of this has not saved Mooney
and Billings from going right on
serving their life sentences, Billings
in Folsom prison and Mooney in
San Quentin.
The reason is that labor has not
yet made that determined, and mas
sive protest that crashes the prison
gates and releases class war pris-
oners. Proof that it can be done
is to be seen in the saving of Moon
ey's life. He was originally sem
fenced to the gallows, but the work
ers of Leningrad (then Petrograd)
said in so menacing a manner he
should not be hanged that his SEN
tence was committed.
The facts of the case are these.
An open shop drive was going on
in the Pacific coast cities in 1916.
1t was also a period of war prepara-
tions, like the present. The "Pre-
paredness Movement" was being in
spired thruout the country by big
business, already determined on en-
tering the world war on the Allies
side. A preliminary stage was to
crush militant labor, just as now we
see Hoover's law enforcement man.
euver, his concentration of power
policies, the proposed anti-strike
bill, the scheme to apply a Watson
Parker bill to the coal fields, and
the use of all governmental ma
chinery, especially the post office,
against the Gastonia frame-up vic
tins. Federal injunctions are being
used to crush real labor organiza-
tions-in this pre-war period, as in
1916.

SECOND INT'L.
IN DEFENSE OF
IMPERIAL RULE
"Annoyed" by Reports
of Cruelty in Africa

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July
29.-The treacherous, reformist role
of the international socialists is CIV
en- further emphasis by statement
recently issued by the Amsterdam
Bureau of the Federation of Trade
Unions, an organization under the
domination of the socialists.
The statement is an attempt to
defend the imperialist oppressors OF
Africa against the accusation, well
authenticated and given publicity by
the International League Against
Imperialism, of the revolving brutal
ity to which the black miners of
southwest Africa are being subject
ed to by the British and Boer inn
perialists of the Union of South At
RIGA, which has mandate over this
former German territory. The state
ment says that "The Labor Union
of Southwest Africa is much annoy
ed by these reports" and that on the
whole "the blacks are humanely
treated in Southwest Africa"
Native leaders here are not sur
prised at this attitude of the AM
sterdam crew of labor takers, but
point to the fact that socialists are
following a consistent role of treach-
cry to the working class and opposi-
tion to the first workers republic,
Soviet Russia, and that in all coun-
tries the working class is faced with
the necessity of advancing to the
final goal of proletariat dictator
ship over the dead bodies of the So
cialist traitors.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Sec-

thus to consider, as gently as it

MILITANTS IN
NATIONAL SILK
MEET AUGUST 18th
Natl. Textile Union
Backs Conference

PATERSON, n. J., July pa
National Silk Conference, being or
ganized by the National Textile
Workers Union, will be held here on
August rs in the n. T. W. U. Hall,
205 Paterson street.
Delegates will be present from six
different states having silk centers:
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, Massachusetts and
New Jersey.
In all these states the National
Textile Workers Union has been or
ganizing, and in all these states
there have been strikes and move
ments among the silk workers dur
ing the past six months.
The conference will attempt to
unitee all sthese movements through
one9 common center. The chief work
of the center will be to set up
program of uniform national de-
mands for the whole industry and to
elect a national silk strike commit
tees whose task will be to prepare
definite preparatory work for a ma
tional silk strike.
In the campaign for the confer
ence, the N. T. W. U. is laying spe-
cial emphasis on the four major silk
centers: the dye houses in Paterson.
where 30 per cent of all the silk
made IN the United States is dyed;
the anthracite in Pennsylvania,
where most of the silk throwing is
done, and Pawtucket, R. l., and AL
lentown, Pa, where the biggest silk
weaving mills are located. Into all
these centers, organizers have now
been sent by the N. T. w. u, to
push the campaign.

However. it is we'll. once year, to take inventory of condi- tions in general, and for this pur- pose We set aside one week as clean-up week. during which all of us make special effort to remove accumulations which not only are unsghtly but oftcntimes constitute real fire hazards.
 This national campaign has re- suited in many advantages to our community life. In this worthy ef- fort of painting. repairing and gen. eral rehabilitation and beautifica- ton. l urge each citizen to do his or her best to keep our community clean. healthy, thrifty. xafe and beautiful.

H, 5, GRADUATION
 IN I. A. B. HALL
Diplomas to Be Awarded to
 Seniors on June 2l

Senior high school graduation ex- ercises will be held at the Y. M. T. A. & E. hall instead of at auditor ium of a school or in a theater. This is believed to be the first time these exercises were held in a pub lie hall in the history of the school It is the first time they were held in hall since the academic build ing was constructed.
 The date has been set at June 21 in the evening. These matters were decided this morning at meeting between Supt. Stanley II. Holmes and Principal Louis P. Slade of the school. The hall will accommodate 1425 people. This will make it pos- sible for each graduate to have four tickets, and if some of them may find it necessary to have fifth tick ct this will probably be provided be- cause Principal Slade will have enough left to accommodate addi- tional friends of the pupils. For a time he thought it might be possible to provide five tickets, but later he found the allotment would nearly be reached if each pupil had five.
 The school board. at it's last meet ing, left with Supt. Holmes and Principal Slade the power to select hall or theater. The last named place would be too expensive, it was thought.
 The junior high school gradu- ations will be held on Thursday June 20.

 AS PLANE FLIES
Continued from First Pase)

The Texans completed 96 hours of continuous flying in the single motored monoplane Fort Worth at 11:33 a. m., and were going strong.
 The plane was refueled with 1l0 gallons of gasoline and 41: quarts of oil in the 10th contact with the aux Hilary ship at a. m. Food, changes of clothing, newspapers and mail were lowered to the pilots, R. L. Robbins and James Kelly.
 Waiting for Saturday
 If thes Fort Worth is still aloft at 6:13:l5 D. m., Saturday the Quos- ton Marks record of 15o, 40 min utes and h seconds will have been equalled. An additional hour would set a new record.
 The Fort Worth piloted by r. l.. Robbins with James Kelly as assist ant. made it's eighth refueling con- tact at dusk last evening at which time parachutes were lowered to the f1iers from the auxiliary ship manned by K. K. Hoffman and II. s. Jones.
 .kelly has the dangerous task each day of crawling to a specially con- structed perch beneath the nose of the plane to grease the rocker arms of the engine.
 The plane had consumed close to 1000 gallons of gasoline today. Ground observers estimated the speed speed of the ship at between 60 and 70 miles an hour.
 The Fort Worth Association of Commerce is raising sl5,Oo0 to be presented the fllers if they break the record. Tentative plans are to give Robbins and Kelly $500 each and $500 each to Hoffman and Jones.
 The endurance ship had been aloft SS hours at 3:33 o'clock this morn- ing.
