ting, from the growing class fights
throughout the United States, were
building UP their arguments and de-
ceits before Governor Rolph, outside
10000 workers, continuing the strug-
gle for the release of Mooney and
Billings, as we'll as other class-war
prisoners, shouted their demands.
They were mauled and beaten by the
police at the orders of Governor
Rolph and his capitalist supporters,
the same forces who framed and
Jailed Mooney.
Frank P. Walsh, high-paid lawyer,
tried to put the whole issue on a
legal technical basis, calling upon
Governor Rolph to clear capitalist
justice in the eyes of the workers.
Walsh tried to make sharp divi-
sion between Tom Mooney and War
rem Billings, both Of whom were
framed UP for the same case.
The purpose of Walker and Walsh
was to hold Billings guilty and jus
tify the capitalists for their entire
frame-up-intimating that the failing
of Mooney was a justis..&ble mis-
take"
"The testimony that convicted Bill
lingS, if used at the Mooney trial, +"
said Walsh, would have acquitted
Moone.'" The same line was re-
pcated by Walker.
Walkers Purpose.
The strategy of Mayor Walker In
his speech clearly showed up the OBJ
ject of the new line Of the Morgan
bankers, California capitalists, A. F..
of l.. leaders, socialists, republican
and democratic grafters in their new
role OF "pleaders for the release Of
Mooney"
Walker began his speech by declar-
ing that the Preparedness parade
bombing in 1916, for which Mooney
and Billings were framed up, was a
terrible crime and that the authori-
ties were justified in acting as they
did. The whole blame, Walker then
said, lay not with the capitalist class,
not with the enemies of the militant
workers Of California, not with the
judges and district attorneys who got
and manufactured the evidence that
sent Mooney to Jail, but with two
