we're cooperating. Tom Money did know, after
the defeat of Governor Young in the primary,
largely due to his efforts, and in spite of Mary
Gallagher and the labor leaders, that she deib-
erately dsregarded his instructions, and that on
account of her attitude the work of the commit
tee was at standstil When, after much fore
bearance, he discharged Marry Gallagher as Sec
rotary of the committee, she removed all the re-
cords mailing list and other equipment from the
Defense Headquarters She also ted-up the
bank account, so that is was impossible for her
successor to continue the work of the defense.
On December l, 1880, when the Supreme Court
announced the second denial of Billings pardon
plea, Mary Gallaghers successors could not write
a statement for the waiting newspaper men--
even the stationery had been removed from the
headquarters
Was it because Paul Scharrenberg knew Mary
Gallagher was paralyzng the activities of the De-
Tense Committee that he made his insidious at
tack on Tom Mooney and the Defense Committee
at the Marysville Convention of the California
State Federation of Labor? Scharrenberg choseE'
the time when Mary Gallagher was in CINCINNATI
at the Transfers Convention to insnuate that
the defense was demoralized, if not corrupt. He Y
could say this, for had he not helped to bring
this situation about?
1t is one of the real tragedies of this case that
so splendid woman as Mary Gallagher should
have been SO evily influenced by the degraded,
corrupted and degenerated labor leaders 1t is
on account of their deliberate subtle domination
over Mary Gallagher that the Defense Commit
tee became demorallized. Mary Gallagher who
possibly does not yet realize that her conduct
is the result of calculated plan by the labor
leaders to have her betray the best interests of
Tom Mooney still follows their advice. She is
making various untruthful statements about Tom
Mooney, such as, that he is impossible and in
sane" and by her refusal to return the moneys,
records, equipment and property OF the Tom
Mooney Moulders Defense Committee to her
successor, immeasurably increases the difficulties
of the Defense Committee.
Within a short time, the work Of the Defense
will proceed with renewed vgor through Alne
Barnsdall's quick cooperation at crisis and Tom
Mooney will again be able to feel that his in
terests are fully protected The added pain the
grief and the harm caused by the mistaken
course of his former friend can hardly be esti-
mated. More than ever does he mistrust the la
Dor leaders and more than ever he is determined
to expose their rotten. underhaudsd and Wis

REVISE YOUNG
PLAN, GERMAN
CHIEFS DEMAND
Nation at End of Rope,
important Manifesto
Makes Clear.
B YFREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN. June 6.-The govern
ments first Official pronouncement
that the Young plan must be re-
vised was issued today.
A manifesto, supplementing Presi-
dent Paul Van Hindenburg's dicta-
torial decree drastically reducing
government expenditures, declared
that the reparations no longer can
be paid out Of foreign loans. as
heretofore.
The presidential decree provided
that the Reich's railways finance a.
gigantic project calling for the ex-
penditure of about S50000,oO0. 1t
was estimated that this would help
relieve unemployment, providing
Jobs for 10000 persons.
Will Aid Unemployment
The government, in broad move
TO counterfeit the sharp salary re-
auctions provided for in the de-
cree, will introduce a 44-hour week
IN all its own workshops in the
railways. This was expected to
offer employment to thousands.
Power to impose a 40-hour week
In private industrial concerns also
was provided in the momentous de-
cree. However, it is understood
the President does not intend to
use this power at present.
The manifesto, regarded as one of
the most vital documents issued
since the close of the World war,
pleaded for reduction of the repa-
rations payments.
I'VE Have Done Utmost
I'VE have done our utmost to
meet the obligations arising from
the lost war" said one passage. ITO
this end, we also took extensive adj
vantage of foreign help.
This no longer is possible. Har-
Messing all our forces and reserves
Of the entire population gives the
German government the right and
obliges it to proclaim to the world
the limit of the privations we can
impose on our people has been
reached"
The manifesto said the benefits
which the Young plan, signed in
May year ago. had been expected
to bring Germany had failed to
materialize."
Commands Imperative Relief
THE assumptions on which the
Young plan was created have proved
false, owing to world developments"
1t said. "The alterations which the
Young plan intended and promised
TO bring to the German people have
failed to materialize.
The government now is aware
that the extremely menaced eco
nomic and financial position of the
Reich imperatively commands re-
lief for Germany from the intoler-
able reparations burdens. The
worlds economic recovery also de
ponds on this relief"
The manifesto was signed only bv
the ministry headed by Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening. It was issued
supplementing President Won Hin
denburg's decree, but was not issued
jointly with the chief executives
document
Workers Are Affected
Workers and middle class families
were chiefly affected by the dicta-
torial decree enforcing new govern
ment economies in an effort to meet
an ticipated deficit in the budget.
The decree tended to shield big
employers and others of wealth.
chiefly because the government is
eager to prevent an outpouring cap
ital from the country.

AL SMITH MAY
BE POWER IN
PRESIDENT RACE
Single Word May Decide
Democrat Candidate
for White House.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Corresnondent

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Repub-
lican's virtually are confident their
opponent in the presidential cam
paign next year will be Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York.
Democrats. on the other hand, are
more in doubt.
Roosevelt appears the most con-
spicuous candidate at the moment,
| but the line o trivial candidates is
beginning to form on the right.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis
Of Illinois, the most respondent
figure, sartorially and rhetorically.
in public life, has been Endorsed as
the favorite son of Illinois by Mayor
Cermak's powerful organization in
Chicago.
Governor Albert c. Ritchie of
Maryland has the Endorsement of
the Maryland legislature, and his
friends are at work in other states.
He stepped aside for Alfred E.
Smith in 1928, but this year he in
tends to stay in.
Robinson Is Contender
Both Ritchie and Lewis are for
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment, as is Roosevelt.
In addition, Senator Joseph T
Robinson of Arkansas, vice presi-
dental candidate with Smith three
years ago, is expected to be an
earnest contender.
Governor Harry F. Byrd of Viz
ginia may be the favorite son of his
state. His main object is to prevent
a prohibition repeal plank in the
next national platform.
Byrd Led in Rebellion
He was one of the leaders in the
rebellion at the Democratic ma
tional committee meeting here last
spring, when Chairman John j.
Raskob was challenged openly in
his attempt to put the committee
on the anti-prohibition side.
Ohio has several possibilities
Governor George White, former
Governor James M. Cox, presi-
Dental candidate in 1920, and New
ton D. Baker, former secretary of
war.
Baker is most talked of nation
ally of the three, though Cox made
a strong impression when he plead
ed for harmony between northern
anti-prohibitionists and southern
dryS at the recent Democratic ma
tlonal committee meeting.
But towering in the background
as the figures upon whom much
Democratic history will depend are
former Governor Alfred E. Smith
and Owen D. Young.
Smith Is Big Factor
Having drawn the largest vote
any Democrat ever received, Smith,
though now man of large bust
ness affairs and ostensibly out of
politics, remains a factor for the
simple reason that tremendous
numbers Of persons will do what he
advises.
If he want to run, himself, he will
have the instant support of power
full groups and leaders.
If he recommends Roosevelt that
will throw a tremendous strength to
the Governor. Smith smiles mys-
teriously when asked about his
/ plans.
Owen D. Young is another I'M
known quantity. He has the respect
and confidence Of many influential
persons in the Democratic party,
among business men generally, and
his position as chairman of the
board OF General Electric makes
him one of the powerful Morgan
hierarchy, which is both an asset
and a liability in politics. .
