vention against the Soviet Union Deliberately attempting

Soviet Union they interpret all the defense acts of the
Soviet Union preparations for aggressive policy
For example the liberal weekly, Nation, under the

about the Soviet Union proving that the nations

Moscow has also got into another with London
over the arrest of several British engineers in Russia
Moscow has got into row. Note how subtly the implca
ton is made that the Soviet Union the aggressor in the
dispute with Great Britain the arrested engineers
If the Soviet Union exercises its legitimate right in
dependent power and try engineers accused
suspected sabotaging the upbudng of socialist industry
then is the Soviet Union who is guilty of getting into
row with Great Britain 1t is the Soviet Union which

disclosed that these arrested British engineers also have
direct relations with foreign offices with counter
revolutionary cques The extraordinary frenzy which the
arrest of these engineers has caused among the high Of
fcals of the British government is surely enough to make
the workers of the world suspicious.
The Soviet Union is faced with enemies within and
without all seeking by desperate and foul to hamper
the growth of socialism, The fact that Great Britain

SENATE COM.
REPORTS IN
CAMP BILL
Now Disguised as the
"Reforestation Act;
Still Forced Labor
LIKE CANADA SCHEME
Means Dollar a Day
and Military Regime

WASHINGTON, March ~. - The
Senate Labor Committee passed I'M
animously today the Roosevelt forced
labor bill. The administration finds
itself in difficulties, because of the
opposition to the bill in all parts Of
the country. Already the name Of
the measure is being cloaked as the
''reforestation bill" Many congress
men and so-called labor leaders were
forced to take a position Of outward
opposition to this plan.
Senator McNary, minority leader
blocked immediate consideration I'M
der the pretense of wanting an sd-
ditional day to study it.
The Senate Committee found it ad-
visable to take out the proviso Of a
dollar a day pay, because of the fake
opposition of Green and other labor
leaders. In its stead the president is
authorized to hire 250,00O men at pay
rates decided by him. Since Roosevelt
has already given approval to the
dollar day rate, this will, no doubt,
be adopted.
How II Works In Canada
What this plan means to the Am
erican woclers is shown by similar
project in Canada. Approximately
$500 workers are employed under the
supervision Of the Dominion govern
ment from coast to coast. They are
constructing airportS and repairing
military works, and are thereby used
directly in the war preparations. For
this they get food shelter and cloth
ing with the magnificent sum of
twenty cents a day pay. 1t is plan
such as this in practice that Roose-
welt is now preparing for the Amer
lean workers.
The National Committee of the
Unemployed Councils has continu-
ously fought against all measures of
forced labor. 1t is against this new
plan OF putting the unemployed into
barracks

Mooney Congress to be held in Chi

doubt the mass response to the Con-
gress, which was initiated by Mooney
and the Mooney Molders' Defense
Committee, had great bearing on
the granting of the second trial.

FIERY CHALLENGE
Dares Frame-Up Crew
Of '16 to Try Him Now

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Mar. 81
In defiant statement which bristled
with anger against the California
frame-up gang which has kept him
buried in San Quentin prison for
nearly seventeen years, Tom Mooney
today challenged his former prose-
cutorS to prove him guilty of the 1916
Preparedness Parade bombing and
hang hinl-if they can.
The statement was issued by Moo
ney'S Defense Committee in response
to declaration by Edward A. Cunha,
San Francisco lawyer, expressing the
belief that Mooney stood strong
chance not only of being convicted
at the second trial granted Saturday
by Superior Judge Ward-but that
he riSked hanging as a result. The
trial date has been set for April IS
and Mooney will be brought from San
quentin TO San Francisco when the
proceedings begin.
In Original Frame-Up Crew.
Cunha was an assistant to District
Attorney Fickert who engineered the
frame-up against Mooney and Bill
lings In 1916 on behalf Of the utility
interests of California whose enmity
Mooney had aroused by his fearless
labor activity. In fighting against the
decision to grant second trial on
an unused Observation-Disclosures with
the first-District Attorney Matthew
A. Brady had let 1t be known that he
would not act as prosecutor.
Issues Challenge.
MONEYS statement follows:
"This is a marvellous opportunity
for Fickert, Cunha and Sullivan
(Matt Sullivan, Gov. Rolph's "advi-
scr" on the Mooney case-Editor's
note) to come forward and fill the
breach left by the withdrawal Of the
District Attorneys office from the
case.
IF they believe their own state
ments, they should consider it a
patriotic duty to come forward and
volunteer their services as special
prosecutors. I challenge them to do
so. I'm asking for a new trial on
murder Indictment I put my head
inside the moose. If Fickert, Cunha
and Sullivan still believe me guilty I
challenge them to bring any and all
testimony, affidavits, and witnesses
at their disposal into open court and
prove their case"

with motion pictures taken on the

Cities of interest, the San Pedro
