Will Talk to California
Governor.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 16.-John Mac
Donald, whose self admitted perjured
testimony played a leading role in the
conviction of Thomas j. Mooney and
Warren K. Billings on murder charges
IA years ago, will start for San Fran
cisco today on the first leg of the trip
he wants to take to officially and per-
sonally tell authorities of the coast
State he lied at the 1916 trials.
The Macdonald party will go from
Baltimore to New York, where 1t will
be joined by Frank P. Walsh, Eastern
attorney for Mooney. From there 1t will
go to California by way of Chicago, the
witness attorneys, Hilary w. Cans and
Charles Ruzicka, announced. When the
departure from New York will be made
is in the hands of Mr.. Walsh.
The recanting witness will be accom-
panied by his attorneys and Edward
N. Nockels, secretary of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, who, in 1921, OBJ
tanned from Macdonald the first state
ment that he had been coached by the
prosecution in perjured testimony given
at the trials of Mooney and Billings.
MacDonalds was testimony which
identified Mooney and Billings as the
men who planted suit case containing
the bomb which killed 10 and injured
40 during the Preparedness day parade
in San Francisco in 1915. In sworn
AFFIDAVIT, made since his arrest here
Friday. he declared he never had seen
the two until taken to their cells in the
San Francisco Jail, where they were
pointed out by prosecution officials.
Gov. Clement c. Young of California
has pledged expenses for the trip from
Baltimore to the coast for the witness
so that he may appear before the par
don board in the Mooney case and the
Supreme Court in the Billings case.
Labor officials already have petitioned
to have the cases reopened, and Walsh
holds plans for asking them to be re-
opened on the ground OF new evidence.

COM mons DEBATING
CENSURE OF LABOR
Conservative Motion Against Mac
Donald Government Expected
to Fail.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July l6.-The Macdonald
government after brief furry on the
Egyptian situation late today was
plunged into debate on Conservative
motion of censure in the House of Com
mons for its failure to provide safe
guarding duties.
Notice of the motion was given by
Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader,
on July z. The Conservatives were
sure to support the motion solidly, but
it appeared doubtful If it would receive
support from any other quarter.
While there have been many sur
prises this session and the government
has come so near defeat on more than
one occasion that slip-up tonight was
not impossible. most political observers
were of the opinion that there was no
likelihood of the government being over
whelmed this time. This belief was
held because of the general opinion
that the Liberals will vote against the
resolution.

MANY STRIKES LAID

NEW YORK, July 16-Communists
were charged with fomenting strikes,
as one line of attack on the form OF
American Government by Charles G..
Wood commissioner of Cancellation of
the Labor Department at Washington,
who testified today before the Special
House Investigating Committee.
Wood declared that Communists had
centered their activities at Passaic,
N. j.; New Bedford, Mass; Greater
New York, and in Gastonia, N. G.
He said that they instituted strikes and
then made every effort to prevent set

ing conditions and hours.
Many Driven From Jobs.
Workers in textile mills, where strikes
were conducted under Communist
leadership, were often inundated, and
thousands driven from employment, he
said.
Before the witness took the stand,
Chairman Hamilton Fish, jr., OF the
committee, announced that representa-
tives of the Amtorg Trading Corpora
ton, official commercial agency of the
Soviet Union in the United States, had
consented to appear voluntarily next
Tuesday and Wednesday. He explained
that the committee had decided not 70
call William 2. Foster, Communist
leader, now serving prison sentence
for melting a riot in Union Square,
New York, on March 6, because efforts
might be made, he said, by Communists,
to effect his escape.

said that Albert Weisbord of BROOKLYN,
graduate of New York University and
of the Harvard Law School had con-

Big Sum Collected.
He, with Afford Waggonette, had slic-
ceaded in arousing the sympathy of leo
pie Throughout the country, and rs a
result had raised between 100000 and
5000, 00c, with which to carry on the
strike, the witness said.
In conducting strikes, Wood said, zap
parently they do not want to reach a
settlement with the employers" He Said
Communists ''sopped the Labor DE-
partment from time to time when we
arranged for settlements through ar

employers.
The witness added that he felt the
Communists were creating much un-
necessary trouble for the employees in
textile and other mills.
Reds Enter Strike.
In describing the textile strike in
New Bedford, Mass, in 1923, Wood said
that local organization initiated the
walkout and within week Communist
leaders, including Fred Beal, Albert
Weisbord and Jake Rubenstein had
come to New Bedford and within four
weeks had secured 10000 members of
the Communist party from the $4,000

MEN OPPOSE PACT
Tennessee Senator Bases
Objection to Treaty on
Their Testimony.
Ga MEMBERS PRESENT
FOR T0DAY'S SESSION
Confidence That Final Action Will
Come Next Week Expressed
by Proponents.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

| The London Naval Treaty was de-
nounced in the Senate today by Sen
ator Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee,
an opponent of the pact.
Senator Mcclellan, quoting from the
opinion of high-ranking officers, de-
clared that he preferred to follow their
advice in regard to naval affairs and
that he would oppose the treaty.
IT have had no naval or military
training" said Senator Mcclellan, land
prefer to follow these men who have
had the best military and naval train
! ing in the world and who say that this
treaty does not meet the defense needs
of this country"
Lays Stress On Cruisers.
The Tennessee Senator laid partic-
ular stress on the fact that the United
States is limited In the number of
8-inch gun cruisers which 1t may con-
Struct. He said that the testimony of
the naval experts was to the effect
that the 8-inch gun, 10,000-ton cruiser
is better suited TO the naval needs OF
this country than the 6-inch gun
cruiser.
SENATOR MChG1dT lI1SlSCeu lIldI LIlC
United States was permitting Great
Britain to dictate what kind of weap-
ons it should use for its defense in
accepting this treaty. The British, he
said, were satisfied to use 6-inch gun
cruisers with a smaller sailing radius
to protect their commerce in time of
war because Great Britain has a large
number of naval bases scattered all
over the world.
Has Two Reservations.
Senator Mcclellan is prepared to in
troduce two reservations to the London
treaty, one declaring for the freedom of
the seas and the inviolability of neutral
vessels in time of war, and the other
calling upon Great Britain to scrap her
naval bases in close proximity to the
United States. It is not believed that
the Senate will agree to either of these
reservations However, they may lead to
debate and SO prolong the consideration
of the treaty by the Senate.
When the Senate met at IL O'Clock
today, so Senators answered the quorum
call and four other Senators iinmedi-
ately thereafter entered the Senate
chamber.
The supporters of the treaty believe
they have the quorum situation well in
hand and that the date of ratification
OF the treaty depends only on the abil-
ity of the opposition to drag out the
debate.
Replies on Parity.
Senator Mcclellan undertook to reply
today to the speech delivered yesterday
by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania in
support of The treaty. The Tennessee
Senator decla red that the United States
does not obtt in naval parity with Great
Britain unde the terms of the treaty.
He said that Great Britain had offered
the United States parity, but that it was
the kind of parity which Great Britain
desired and not real parity.
Confidence that the treaty would be
finally acted upon in the Senate some
time next week grew today among the
Senators supporting the treaty.
