SACRAMENTO, Cal, July A.
The California Supreme Court to-
day advised Governor Young that
Warren K. Billings should remain
in prison for + . rest of his life.
The governor has already announced
that his decision on the application
for pardon would be based on the
Supreme Court decision. The case
of Thomas Mooney was not formally
passed upon by the court, but a
reference to it in the Billings deci-
sion indicates that he too is doomed
to life Imprisonment.
Governor Young has already stat
ed that the courts decision for Bill

Mooney. Only one member of the
court, Justice W. H. Langdon, made
the usual gesture of Dissenting
in this decision to keep these two
innocent men in prison for life.

NEW YORK.-The International
Labor Defense yesterday issued a
statement which is, in part, as fol-
lows:
"The Supreme Court document
made public today declaring itself
against the release of Warren K.
Billings is obviously aimed to pre-
pare the people for the rejection of
Mooney and Billings application for
pardon by the governor of Califor-
MIA. The hypocritical governor
Young can now come before the
voters of California with the excuse
that responsibility rests not upon
himself but upon the Supreme
Court. Responsibility rests upon
the whole capitalist class, it's gov
eminent and its social fascist
agents.
"These last played a particularly
treacherous role in the entire case.
Both through the Mooney Defence
Committee of California as well as
directly through it's national secre-
tary senior, the socialist party, aid
ed by the now utterly reactionary
/. w. w., belabored these class war
prisoners with arguments against
the class struggle methods of the
Communists and the international
Labor Defense in mobilizing the
masses to press for the release Of
these two framed up workers. As
substitute for open war upon the
boss class they undertook back-dool
confabs with crooked Californis
capitalist politicians. The respon'
sibility lays not only upon the boss
class but even more upon its agents
who pretend to friendship to ths
cause Of labor only to betray us.
"The international Labor Defense
still believes that Mooney and Bill
ings can be freed. But only if the
great mass of American and world:
workers are awakened " struggle
for this release"

ly appealed to the governor for q
new trial or pardon.
All ten surviving jurors have
signed statements declaring they
were tricked in the trial and that
they believe both Mooney and Bill
ings innocent. The other three ar
rested with these two were acquit-
ted, on the same evidence" that
convicted Mooney and Billings, but
after some of the prosecution per-
jury in the first two cases had been
exposed.

 pletely Yindicate Inspector CRITICS PROVE DocILE
Four New Bremen Appointed By Commission-Earm Bureau Holds Large Meeting Hcrc-Services in Churches Tomorrow Morning.

Not Slngle serious charge was proven against Building Inspector AXel Johnson by local contractors and tradesmen at q hearing held last evening in the Town hall and. as d result. the building commis- sloner5 announced that no action would be taken on the petition re- 0uestiAg that the inspector be re- moved from office. The commits Sioners stated that there was abso- lutely no evidence to show that the inspector had not carried out his duties in q capable and efficient manner. It was a complete vindica- tion for the building inspector.
 None of the ten signers of the pe- tltlon made any definite charge against the inspector. the chief ob- jection to Johnson being the fact that he was engaged in the contra ct ing business. The contractors and tr&dcsmen felt that this put them at a disadvantage. Four of the signers stated that they had placed their names on the petition with the im- pression that MT. Johnson was in tending 10 leave office and Lester Dow was being boomed for his place. One alleged signer of the petition absolutely denied that he had put hls signature on the petition.

The hall outside was also filled with people, showing that the hearing had attracted town wide interest.
 Inspector Johnson was represent cd by Attorney Cornelius R. Prior. After the hearing had been called 10 order, Attorney Prior through questioning of Mir. Simpson, brought out the fact that the building in Sp"ctor holds office at the will of tn" building commission
 First Selectman Simpson then read the petition requesting that Inspector Johnson be removed from office. He called on the signers Of the petition In order and asked them if they had any charges to make against the work of Mir. Johnson as building inspector.
 Sasck's Grievances "personal,

His objection to the inspector was the fact that he was q build. Ing contractor for. he said, this was unfair to the other builders fin town. He also stated that he had grievances against the inspector for VarIous reasons, one being that a contract he expected from pr. George F. Cook went 10 the build- Ing inspector. Mir.

When asked by Attorney Prior if he mad any other reasons besides these 'personal' grievances for wishing the removal of Mir Johnson from
