of California.
Sometime between noon and 4 p.
m. Governor James Rolph, Jr., ex-

Meanwhile, within the gray walls

victed dynamiter, went about his
usual duties-those of the prison
vegetable man."
In Folsom prison, another man to
whom the decision may mean much,
waited. He is Warren K. Billings
who, like Mooney, is serving a life
sentence. Both were convicted in
the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness
Day parade bombing which claimed
10 lives and injured 40 persons.
Billings said he considered his
case and that of Mooney parallel.
"Granting that" he added, /" l nat
urally will be affected by Governor
Rolph's decision in the Mooney case"
MONEYS long struggle for free
dom on the ground he was convicted
upon perjured evidence, has gained
the attention of men of prominence
in all parts of the world.

MEYER VOICES OBJECTION

house banking committee Thursday
approved the Goldsborough bill di-
recting the federal reserve board to
increase and stabilize wholesale COM
modify prices.
An amendment was inserted on
motion of Representative Stevenson
Dem.. 8. c. fixing as the proper
level the average Of prices from 1921
to 1929.
Eugene Meyer, governor of the fed
eral reserve board. has opposed the
measure, which was reported favor
ably without a record vote.
The principal ways in which the
board would be able to increase and
stabilize commodity prices, committee
members said, would be through pur-
chase or sale Of government securities
and raising or lowering rediscount
rates.
The board already is purchasing
government securities at q rate of
about 100000. 900 a week in an effort
to increase the volume of credit and
stop deflation.

Heved the board had about reached
the point in its effort to improve con-

STRONG FOR FRAZIER BILL

William Lemke, Nonpartisan can
didate for the Republican congress

q platform which includes submis-
sion of the prohibition amendment to

congress but is getting nowhere
Lemke Is generally credited with au-
thorship Of this measure. despite the
fact that Fraziers name Is attached
to it.
The text of the Lemke platform
follows:

for the Frazier farm relief bill, which
provides that the United States gov

whose benefit the Federal Reserve
bank has been functioning ever since

OBJECTS TO SLASH
IN APPROPRIATION
PLANNEDBY SENATE
Says Proposal is Not Business.
like and May Not Even
Be Economy

Washington. Aprl 2l.-(R-Pro-
gresS was made Thursday by the
house economy committee toward for
mulating a federal entrenchment bill
while criticism OF proposed cut In
government salaries was voiced in
the senate.
The house committee struck from
President Hoovers retrenchment pro-
gram the proposal to suspend oper-
alton of ship lines by the shipping
board on Jan. 1. 1888.
It also tentatively decided against
suspending federal contributions to
vocational education during 1888 but
agreed to propose plan for that &C
ton thereafter.
Meanwhile. Senator Ashurst (Dem.,
Ariz) predicted In the senate that II
the salaries Of government employees
are reduced every industry in the
United States will do likewise"
The senate also heard Senator Cd
die Rep.. New. express disagree
ment with proposal by Secretary
Mills that the government cdrtail let
ting public building contracts for a
year. In letter to Oddie, Mills
made his suggestion in opposing a 10
per cent slash In treasury department
appropriations.
Mills made his views known In 4
letter to Chairman Oddie OF the SEN
ate subcommittee in charge Of the
treasury department appropriation
bill as the house economy committee
renewed its efforts to complete q pro-
gram by which $200,00000o can be
saved next year in government ex-
penditures.
The treasury department head rec
commended enactment Of President
Hoover's proposal for five-day week
for employees on an annual basis
Without provision for the furlougn
plan. Mills said. "the alternative Is q
shocking one" He said 1t would mean
upwards Of 5000 employees" nearly
80 per cent Of whom are stationed
outside Of Washington" would "be
turned out on to the streets by the
government Of the United States"
Estimating the 10 per cent cut
would result In saving Of $14O00. O00
for the treasury department. Mills
said the Hoover program promises a
greater reduction without impair
ment Of government efficiency and
without the intolerable hardship
which dismissal would inflict on thou
sands Of American families"
# the 10 per cent appropriation cut
is adopted, the treasury secretary rec
commended 1t not be applied to en-
ployes Of the internal revenue bureau.
He said the salary and expenses Of
each agent average $3.7l6 q year
while In the last fiscal year each one
recommended additional taxes
amounting to 100000.
Assuming that half Of the tax rec !.
commended was collected. Mills said
"in order to save 1916 in salary and
expenses we would sacrifice $52.500 In
taxes" He added additional taxes
recommended might be reduced by
sos, 100000.
Another recommendation was that
letting of contracts for q number o.!
postoffices be suspended. He saio
cities had been able to get along with
the old structures and could do 50
for q while longer and added. what
is sacred about new postoffices In
times Like there?"
