DECISION TODAY
ON MONEYS
PLEALIKELY
Bomb Trial Defendant to Learn
Fate With Billings; State
Courts Action Is Awaited

SAN FRANCIsO, Dec. 1.-The
California Supreme Court today
Is expected to hand down its de-
cision in. the famous Mooney
Billings bombing case, deciding
whether Tom Mooney and War
rem K. Billings shall be pardoned
or spend the rest Of their lives
in prison.
The decision will be made on
the case Of Billings alone, but
Governor Clement c. Young
has declared that he will be
guided by the decision Of the
court in acting on the applica-
ton of Mooney for pardon
Both men have served IA
years in prison, having been
convicted Of first-degree muir
der following the explosion Of
the Preparedness Day bomb on
July %, 1915. Ten people were
killed and 40 wounded.
Refused Parole
Despite their convictions, both
Mooney and Billings have con-
stantly affirmed their innocence
and refused to accept parole,
declar 3 such a step would be
an implication of guilt.
Mooney, famous radical labor
leader, has filed a petition for
pardon with Governor Young.
Billings, who was an ex-convict,
under the State law is not al
lowed to file such a petition
without the approval of the
State Supreme Court.
For that reason Governor
Young, declaring the two cases
are identical, held up his deci-
sion on the Mooney pardon
pending the Supreme Court
hearing Of the Billings plea.
This hearing was held last
summer over a period Of two
months and was in reality a re-
trial of the Billings case. The
seven justices sat, not on the
bench but as a jury, and all the
living witnesses in the old case as
well as a number of newly discov-
cred witnesses were summoned.
Prosecutor Present
Charles Fickert. the district at
torney who prosecuted the two
men and who has been accused
Of framing" the case, and his
assistants were in court and
cross-examined the witnesses.
The State prison board refused
to bring Billings from Folsom
prison to San Francisco for the
hearing, so the court, attorneys,
witnesses and newspaper cor,
respondents from all over the
world adjourned to the prison
and heard Billings story.

Peace Only a Hope
It is the hope Of the Admin
iStration and of the leaders that
the session beginning today will
enact the necessary appropria-
ton bills and pass peacefully out
of existence 70 days hence. But
it is only a hope, and a none too
roSeate one, at that.
Controversies are at every

Court, Muscle Shoals, unemploy'
ment, the agricultural situation,
the b..siness depression-any one
Of which is sufficient to throw
the session into a snarl that will

BUSINESS SEEN
SURE To BEAT
DEPRESSION
Mechanical Engineers Claim
Industry Will Emerge With
Old Power; Hoover Lauded

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The chal.
lenge Of economic depression is
being met by American industry
which will emerge with undimin-
ished powers, it was asserted in
the annual report Of the manage
ment division Of the American So
ciety Of Mechanical Engineers,
opening a five-day session today.
Existing industrial conditions
were interpreted in the report as
a source of strength rather than
Of weakness. Improved machinery
has made more work and high
wages in the country have come
to stay, 1t was stated.
Hoover Brought Results
For the first time in history q
President has exerted his influ-
ence to mobilize industrial forces
for the deliberate Improvement of
industrial conditions during a de-
preston, the committee pointed
out, and there are evidences that
it has had many tangible and per
haps still more Intangible results.
Said the report:
eff the business cycle may
be tpitOmized by dividing IL into
stages Of confidence. doubt, fear
and hope, then we believe we
are well into the fourth stage
Of the cycle.
Much Yet UndOne
Management has been chal-
Ienged as never before. 1t has
at least exerted itself, and, we
believe, with some success. On
the other hand, much remains
to be accomplished.
".As welI-built buildings remain
standing after ar earthquake,
so certain organizations have
been able to show good results
despite the economic upheaval."
Total unemployment Is various
ly estimated as between 2,500. 900
and 100000, the report added,
while normal unemployment is
from 10000 to 100000.
A better understanding Is need
ed Of the purposes and principles
of job standardization, the commit.
tee said, although the application
of time and motion study was re.
ported as spreading within the tex
tile industry, especially in the
south.

GAS ROUTS REDS
At CAPITOL

.(cOntinued From Page y
as it was first believed the Off
Ger had fired a bullet.
The mob dispersed a short dis.
tance away under the effect OF
the stringent gas.
1,OOO See the Fray
Other policemen had arrived at
this point and the men and wo-
men booing the officers and wav.
ing other banners, left for the op-
posite side Of the Capitol.
They were followed by police
and by nearly 1000 spectators
who had gathered at this time.
Reaching the opposite side Of
the Capitol the mob broke into q
run across the Capitol grounds
which was swarmed by pursuers
and others.
Reaching First Street and Mary
land Avenue, indignation meet.
ings were held in different
groups.
Police tried to disperse them
and again came the forced use
Of tear gas bombs and night
sticks.
Several were so badly battered
they, were removed in passing
automobiles while others were
placed police patrol wagons.
Traffic west Of the Capitol
was virtually paralyzed as crowds
gathered first on one side Of the
street and then on the other.
Soon as police would break up
one group, they would be called
to clear away another indignation
meeting in another spot.
The rout of the mob reSembled
nothing more thar that of a gor-
lila army.
After nearly an hour the mob
was finally dispersed.
. Many of them suffered bruises
and cuts while practically all Of
them were suffering from gas in
fectionS. Despite their retreat
they continued to taunt police.
'Down With" Banners
Just before the demonstration
was broken up, added excitement
came when the fire-rescue squad
apparatus passed by. It went to
the Methodist Building nearby,
where Martin Ball, colored
porter, had his arm cut. He was
taken to Casualty Hospital.
Some of the banners displayed
said:
"Down with lynching."
Down with finger.printing."
"Down with restricted immi-
grafton"
Down with capitalism"
Long live Soviet"
"LOng live Communism"
After the chase from the Capt..
tol grounds. most. Of the mob
went to Communist headquarters
at 1887 Seventh st. N. W., where
an indignation meeting was held
for about half an hour.
At the suggestion of the lead.
ers. the Communists then re.
cessed for an hour for lunch and
expect to hold a meeting at their
hall this afternoon.

hat the heat treatment oftoBaccos " an excfn.
sive process with any single manufacturer.
TIVE FACT is that the use of heat treatment
u in the manufacture of tobacco is aboul
The most commonplace and universally pracs
iced method In the industry. 1t has long been
standard practice.
We use heat treatment In its most modern
and scientific application, both In the prepas
ration and in the manufacture of those mild,
fragrant, ripe tobaccos that carry their nat.
uraI goodness into CAMELS.
The first CAMEL Cigarette we ever made
was manufactured under the heat-treating
process. Every one of the billions of CAMELS
produced since has been manufactured under
heat treatment. We rely upon heat to the
limits of its possibilities to make our good
tobaccos better. Ii cannot make interioI
tobaccos good.

about, attaches a continuance to his heattreat.
ing machines to catch, condense and bottle
the vapors that come from them can have no
more effect toward improving the tobacco
than your catching and bottling the vapors
that come from your teapot would have
toward improving the tea In the pot.
Our own brand, CAMEL, continues to grove
but we are, nevertheless, unwilling to lee
these far-reaching false statements or im-
pressions regarding the cigarette industry

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-03-19

"THAT ANOTHER MANUFACTURER of
NA/ cigarettes chooses to say about his
w product is not our affair. Even
when he sees fit to misrepresent his product
and leave false impressions concerning il,
that still is his businessmen ours.
Bm-when, In his advertising, he goes
beyond his own product and makes false state
ments or leaves misleading impressions about
other cigarettes then it is time that the truth
be told.
Some time ago a manufacturer of ciga.
rettes used the following statements in his
advertising,
s~The extra secret heating process removes
from - harmful ~irritants, corrosive
acrids, which are present in cigarettes manu-
featured In the oId.fashioned way, and which
cause throat irritation and coughing"
sNo matter how much or how little you pay
for cigarettes you have a choice of only two
general classes, and not more than two. In
one class you have the billions of cigarettes
manufactured in the old.fashioned way and
I'm the other class you have o.. the
toasted cigarette, a product of modern science,
a cigarette from which harmful irritants have
been removed by that extra secret process
described by the phrase it's Toasted"
WHEN THESE STATEMENTS were first
w made, we assumed that they were a
nsual phase of that manufacturers advertis.
ing and did not represent a deliberate and
calculated policy. After making a few such
statements, he abandoned this particular
form of advertising. However, other state
ments used in his advertising anne to the
attention of the Federal Trade Commission
ON q question of their truthfulness.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-03-19

As a result of the action of the Federal
Trade Commission he was ordered to stop his
admitted practice of using in his advertising
false testimonials of non-smokers TO the effect
that they kept slender by smoking his brand
of cigarettes, and was further ordered to stop
using other fake testimonials and the specious
argument that all can keep slender by smok-
ing that brand of cigarettes. He then began
to use again the form of statement quoted
above or variations of it.
FANY MANUFACTURER chooses to say that
IL the tobaccos he uses contain ''harmful irri-
tants, corrosive acrids, that are injurious to
the throat" and then to claim that these
things are removed by the heat-treating
process, that is his W affair. But when he
tries to create the impression that ii is general
practice to use in cigarettes such rank
tobaccos as he describes, we object to the
attempted reflection on the industry.
We have never used i'm our blend those
rank tobaccos which can be properly de-
scribed as containing ''harmful i%rritants, cor
rosive acrids,' - nor do we believe that they are
used by some of the other manufacturers.
If that manufacturer wishes to advertise
heat treatment, calling 1t toasting or what-not,
that is his right. But when, in so doing, he
tries to create the impression that he is the
only maker of cigarettes who treats tobaccos
with heat, the truth again needs to be told.
The publication of a fake testimonial is no
greater perversion of the truth than to imply
Imperial Valley press., 1930-08-30
TALKING BACK TO A COP

Sometimes a comparatively unlmpof-
tant little news item can be both signltl-
cant and encouraging. A case in point Is
a brief dispatch from New York, telling
how citizen managed to talk back to
traffic cop and got away with it.
The citizen was one Major Charles P.
Shinn. Returning from vacation, he
drove his car into a street that was
though he did OF know it-closed tempor-
arily to automobiles. A cop came along
side and began to scold him in the tradi-
tional cop manner.
Major Shinn explained that he had
been out of town and did not know of the
new regulation. He added that there was
no detour sign at the entrance of the
street, or if there were he had not seen it.
Go on" said the cop. You knew that
sign was there You've been driving this
way every day for month
"You are a liar" remarked Major
Shinn Thereupon the cop gave him a
ticket, and the next day he landed in traf-
fic court.
Now the encouraging thing about this
is that the judge who heard the case let
Major Shnn off-thereby upholding the
inherent right of the motorist to talk
back to traffic cops which is highly pleas
ing to all of us.
There can be little doubt, as Major
Shinn remarks, that many motorists who
get tickets get them, not for breaking the
law, but for talking back to the officer.
The traffic law being what it is, practic-
ally every motorist breaks it in some way
or another every day of his life; but the
ones who go to court, all too often, are
the ones who will not sit quietly and let
an ill-natured cop expend his powers of
abuse on them without replying.
The traffic cop of course is necessary
feature of the landscape these days; but
is it necessary for him to be so bad-tem-
pered and abusive? Motorists should not
be compelled to endure the insults these
blue-coated autocrats feel impelled to
pour out on them. 1t is comforting to
learn that a revolt has begun, sanctioned
by court of law. Here's hoping it
spreads far and wide.

promised the rabbit gentleman. "We
must be going back soon.
"Oh, Unkie Wig! Can't we stay
on this lovely island forever -
asked Baby Bunty. cts 50 nice
here, with cocoanuts, oranges and
bananas. Ia like to stay forever. y
eyes, let's stay!' > begged the
other bunnies.
"Oh, but your mother and Nurse
Jane would be worried. For they
don't know said Mr.. Longears,
THAT our raft went adrift and that
we sailed, with our umbrella sail,
away down here. Play around a
bit and then we must 90 back. We II
take Jacko and Jumpo with us. -
So the monkey boys and the rab'
bit children played on the desert
island, eating bananas, oranges and
cocoanuts, while Uncle Wiggily
hoped around and picked some
flowers to take to his wife. The old
rabbit gentleman went down to the
shore. where he had tied his raft
to a tree, but he had sudden and
big surprise. The raft was gone.
ooh, dear me.' cried Uncle Wig
rilv. "This is too bad! Without
nv raft boat how am | ever to get
the children back to the shore 20
He looked across the waves and saw
the raft bobbing up and down far
off. The seaweed rope by which 1t
had been tied, had broken.
"Oh, what shall we do?' thought
Mr.. Longears and then he had an
other surprise. For he felt the island
moving, Just as the raft had sailed.
And the whole island-orange, CO.
coanut and banana trees, monkeys
bows and all-began moving toward
the main shore where Uncle Wiggily
could see his summer seaweed bun
galow.
"Hurray! Everything is all right.
This is a floating island!' cried
Mr.. Longears. And so it was and
soon it floated back to shore so they
were all safe and sound, ready for
more adventures.
And if the automobile will turn
upside down and spin its wheels so
the garage man can see If their
shoes are nice and clean, | II tell
