presses much sympathy for those people who are
plainly going to pieces from food, and whose

anger at the whole thing. And being angry is
not only natural but beneficial, if it contributes
to the revolutionary will of the starving masses

their nature from saying anything that would

it very clever to joke about the oyereating of the

Forced Labor on

Now that you've heard all about the sup
posedly terrible Bosheviks and the allegedly
awful forced labor in the pulpwood produc-
ton of the Soviet Union, kindly read this news
about American pulpwood, remembering that
Soviet pulpwood brings a higher-and not
loWer-price in America than American pulp
wood because it is superior in quality useful for
high class paper.

on money around here most of the farmers are
very poor and need help. There is pulpwood

man to the camp to work for their board, and
promises the man that they will take care of
the family and if he will not do that they do
not get help, and says, You do not want to

HYPOCRITES AND DOUBLE-CROSSERS
THE California labor leaders have at times
L served on Committees that called upon the
Governor of California to urge the pardon of
Mooney They have also spoken at several public
meetings in behalf of the prisoners yet, without
doubt these same men can truthfuly be called
the enemies of Mooney and Billings Why? Be
cause their actions have been forced upon them
by pressure of public opinion, the press, and the
rank and file of the unions. Whenever labor
leader such as Frank Mcdonald President of
the California Building Trades Council, would
speak on behalf of Mooney and Billings he
would later be found delivering a powerful ova-
ton on the virtues of Governor Young, their
jailer. When Paul Scharrenberg served on the
Committee that called upon Governor Young
to urge MONEYS pardon, did he tell the Gov
ernor he would resign as member of his Cab
met if he did not act? Why, no! Immediately
the hearing was over he assured the Governor
he could be depended upon to help him carry
out his policies, and one OF the Governors pol
icies was to keep Tom Mooney in prison, as
Scharrenberg we'll knew. Certainly the Gov
ernor paid more attention to Scharrenberg's
tion-approval of his policy by remaining in his
cabnet-than to his words appealing for Moo
ney's release"
The Executive Council of the California State
Federation Of Labor passed meaningless resolu-
ton on the case of Mooney and Billings, but
that did not deter all major labor leaders of
California from strongly endorsing Governor
Young for his reelection the same day. Gov
ernor Young understood the Mooney-Billings
resolution was an empty gesture became
positive this so when he was endorsed over
the protests of Tom Mooney and all the REAL
friends of Labor

to Robert Minor, and others who helped
in the fight to free Mooney and Billings.
Now he goes back to the traitors.
