JOBLESS SEEK
SOLDIER POSTS;
FEW ACCEPTED
Only Small Percentage OF
Thousands Applying
Are Enlisted.

: WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Jobless
thousands have sought an end to
their enployment-seeking at army,
navy and marine corps recruiting
stations, an analysis Of enlistment
data showed today.
This outlet, however, is negligible
from the standpoint of unemploy-
ment relief.
Only a small percentage of those
seking to enlist was accepted the
first six months of this year.
Each of the services, which dec
ade ago were clamoring for recruits,
has become particular in its choice
of men. Only the pick, in physique
and education, of those who apply
are taken.
Total of 53,069 enlistment appli-
cations was received by the navy
the first six months of this year.
This figure compared with 43,745 in
the half-year preceding.
During the fiscal year recently
ended, $3.50 sought to join the
marines as compared with 32,395
applications the previous year.
Army figures we're not available,
but war personnel officers reported
thousands are turned away from re-
cruiting stations each month after
limited enlistment quotas are filled.
Out of the 5000 who sought to
join the navy, only 5,243 enlistments
were recorded. New enlistments in
the marine corps during the past six
months numbered only 2,441 out of
81 $50, who applied.

More than ever convinced of the

pass strong resolutions demanding a
pardon of the pairS
Annually for fourteen years the
California state Federation Of Labor,
representing 100000 organized work
ers, has met and passed resolutions
calling on Governors to act.
On Sept. IS at Marysyille the fed
Grafton meets again and on that
date their resolution will be even
stronger in its conviction that the
two laborites are serving sentences
for some other persons crime.
THE recent pardon rehearlng
before the supreme judges bears out
the contention of labor in California
and in the entire nation that
Mooney and Billings are innocent OF
this terrible crime; said Paul Char
renberg, secretary.
lnere were TWO JLluBS D4OuSAlD
into bold relief at this 'retrial' One
was that Billings and Mooney were
convicted by the word of the worst
set of perjurers ever gathered into
one case. The other was that strong
alibis of both Of them were made
stronger.
"All attempts to befog the issue
by attacking the associates and be-
hefs of these men can not hide
these two facts:
THE chief witnesses were liars,
most OF whom we're not even at the
scene of the crime.
Mooney and Billings under the
laws of physics could not possibly
have committed the crime, for they
were both somewhere else"
