EDICT ON BAILIFF

Howard Sanders or noboby!"
That was the war cry today of
Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cam
eron, as his fight with the safety
board and police officials, over ap-
pointment of a bailif in his court,
flared anew.
In conference with Chief Mike
Morrissey, Cameron fatty declared
he would not accept Marty Logan,
gamewell operator, appointed to the
job by the safety board as Sanders
successor.
The parley between the judge and
the chief was called after Superior
Judge Joseph r. Williams Thurs
day ruled the board of safety had
the power to appoint Cameron's aid.
Sanders is under orders from
Morrissey and the board to leave
the courtroom Saturday morning
at and report to the detective de-
partment for duty.
"You can have Logan or anybody
else on the police force" Morrissey
told Cameron today.

MONEYS FOES
SEEK HEARING
Opponents Of Pardon May
Present Arguments.

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. A Sec
ond hearing on the pardon applica-
ton OF Tom Mooney, with oppo-
nents of the plea offering their ar
guments, was in prospect today, as
an aftermath of the hearing at
which Mayor Walker of New York
spoke for the famous California
prisoner.
The hearing was requested by
Captain Charles Golf of the San
Francisco police, who took part in
gathering evidence against Mooney
after the 1916 Preparedness day
bomb outrage.
Matt I. Sullivan, former chief
justice of the supreme court, and
Lewis F. Byington, one-time dis
trict attorney of San Francisco, who
served Governor Rolph as legal ad-
viserS at the first hearing, indicated
they favored a hearing for Mooney
opponents.
Sullivan, to whom all matters re-
garding the Mooney case were re-
ferred by the Governor, said that
if he decided such hearing would
aid in reaching decision, it would
be called.
Golf said he had asked Governor
Rolph for permission to appear at
the hearing when Mayor Walker
and other counsel for Mooney ar
gued in favor of a pardon, but was
refused.

quest on arguments that Judge

They commended that Judge Dun

Unprecedented Initiation Is
Predicted at Session of
La Toilette Group.
Py United Press

FL United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Factors
for an unprecedented BOOM in
business are at hand, the La Toilette
economics planning committee was
told today by Virgil Jordan, econ
omist of the McGraw-Hill publ
cations of New York.
Jordan said business had not
learned it's lesson from the 1929 de-
flation and that no interests stand
ready today to check the imitation
which he foreSeeS.
I'VE are going to have at least
one and perhaps several booms," he
said, perhaps shorter and sharper
but not materially different from
that preceding 1929.
"Start From Spark
"It is ready to start from a spark
of psychological change. The fac
tors for an unprecedented boom are
at hand.
81 refer to the condition of our
banking system"
He said gold reserves in the
United States, boarded currency
and credits, the relatively low vol
ume of borrowing by federal reserve
member banks and the not-eXceS-
sive holdings of government securi-
ties by reserve banks would enable
a very rapid expansion of bank
credit"
He said testimony before the
committee had demonstrated the
extreme and chronic instability of
American business" and he advo-
Gated creation of a national eco
nomic planning council as an ex-
pertinent in behalf of stability.
Courage is all that is needed to
put an end to the present business
disorganization, in the opinion of
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America.
"OTd Remedies Useless"
Lewis, invited to testify today be-
fore the senate economic planning
committee, took the stand that old
remedies would have no effect I'M
der present conditions, and that
congress would have to overcome a
natural aversion to sweeping
changes, if it expected to cope with
the situation.
The present depression, he con-
tinued, can be stopped most effec-
lively by sterilization on a domestic
basis. He pointed out that about
90 per cent of our trade is within
the borders of the United States
and recommended that we forget
for the time being the small volume
of our commerce which deals with
foreign countries.
Lewis, the second labor leader to
be called in as many days, agreed
with President Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor that an
economic council such as that pro-
posed by Chairman La Toilette
could be of great value
