MOOSE LAKE TURNS
TABLES ON RUSH CITY

The Moose Lake high school basket
ball team turned tables on the Rush
City high school team by defeating
the Rush City quint at the Moose
Lake gymnasium by a score of Is to 5
last Friday evening.
The Rush City team had difficulty
in getting the ball through the Moose
Lake defense which was set whenever
Rush City had the ball in their pos
session. The two field goals made by
the Rush City team were made by
fast plays down the side of the floor.
Moose Lakes variety of passes was
of great benefit in getting the bali
through the Rush City defense and
the home teams scoring was done on
both long and close-in shots at the,
basket.
Friday evening, Jan. Is, Pine City's
boys and girls teams will meet the
Moose Lake teams on the latter's
floor. Moose Lake has defeated the
Pine City teams four times in the last
two seasons. Pine City is determined
to reverse this record and Moose Lake
is also determined to uphold their
record. The first game starts at 500
o'clock sharp.

WASHINGTON LETTER

a politician appear politically impOt-
job-hunter back home never under
stand. Multiply this case by the
number of Congressional members
and you have a partial answer to
the present statement.
The most insistent demand of the
day is to do something for impover-
ished citizens. Reflection will show
that it is a problem which will admit
no counterfeit remedies. Though there
is obviously a need for eXpediency it
is generally recognized that relief
must not be voted at the expense of
good sense. In degree this may ac-
count for the slowness which marks
Congressional action. Veteran leaders
of both parties realize that nothing
must be enacted into law which will
eventually react against the authors.
This policy is manifest in the Sen
ate debates in which banking legisla-
ton was subjected to searching stud
les as to the real purposes and limita-
tions. There is pronounced DISPOSE
ton to keep out trick clauses which
might later be construed as helping
bankers. Rightly or wrongly, senti-
ment exists in Congressional circles
that bankers are more or less respons-
ible for the nations economic all
ments. AS a consequence relief meas
ures are infinitely tested for hoop
holes.

Real Sunshine Story.
In 1898 Knud Wathne-said not to

borrowed 200 Kroner for the steam
ship ticket, the lender being his
friend, Harald StOreby. Wathne APP
parently forgot all about the 200
Kroner during his many years in
America-but only apparently; for
shortly before Christmas Mr.. Storeby
received check for 1,40O Kroner
from his friend in the United States
who explained that the amount rep
resented the principal plus interest

An Interview with Mother Mooney

Mrs Mooney sought all kinds of
odd jobs. She took in washing,
scrubbed floors and for time
worked in thread-needle factory.
Tom went to work when he was
fourteen. He learned the brick
molding trade, and in a short time
was organizing his fellow workers
for the union, He went to San
Francisco as an organizer. You
know how he was framed up be-
cause he was getting the wor' RS
to fight for their rights. since
then I've thought of nothing but
the struggle for my sons freedom
The tremendous enthusiasm that
has greeted Mother MONEYS ap-
pearances before workers organiza-
tons has made her very happy. u
know it's my Tom that they're
cheering for" she says. She is
fully aware Of the class forces be-
hind her sons Imprisonment. and
realizes that only the protest Of the
masses will win his liberation.
A telegram she had just received
from Tom in San quentin prison
was shown to me. Dear Mother"
it read, Il thank you, and appre-
ciate all you are doing for me in
spite Of your failing health. You
have stimulated and encouraged
me beyond measure~
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-03-14

When Mother Mooney decided to
risk the long Journey from San
Francisco to New York to lend her
aid to the fight OF the Interna-
tional Labor Defense for her sons
freedom, her doctor warned her
that this step would be suicidal.
you can't make it at your age,
with your weak heart" she was
told. I'D gladly give my life to
help Tom" was her answer. Hers
is the fighting spirit with which
Tom Mooney hurls defiance at the
master class that framed him, while
he waits for the pressure Of mass
protest to burst asunder his prison
door.
Behind large, shell-rimmed
glasses, her clear, blue-grey eyes
bespeak strength Of purpose; her
strongly-moulded features reminds
one of Toms. One senses that the
deep burrows which line her kindly
face are not so much the imprints
of time as the marks Of toll and
suffering-the common lot of work
ing-class mothers in America. In
simple, straightforward language
she told the story Of her life and
struggles. 1t is typical Of tens Of
thousands Of American women
workers.

moor, County Mayo, Ireland, and
came to this country at the age of
II. Ny folks were too poor to give
me any schooling. Almost as soon
as L touched American soil, I went
to work in textile factory in
Holyoke, Mass. There we girls
were forced to slave II and IA
hours a day under the miserable
conditions known to every factory
worker. All for few dollars
week.
Then We moved TO the Middle
West, where I met and married
Brian Mooney, a coal miner. Brian
hardly ever got to see what the sun
was like, he worked so hard. We
lived in Washington, Indiana, in
dingy little shack owned by the
coal company. No matter how
much my husband worked, 1t was
all we could do to make ends meet.
Somehow or other, the company
was always getting back whatever
it paid out in wages. We had three
children-Tom, John and Anna.
Their father died before they were
many years old. Poor Brian died
Of miners asthma, which he got
from having to breathe the cold
dust down In the mines"
The MONEYS we're left penniless.
To keep the family from starving,
