The Southern Office Of the Interna-

Gen. George w. Chamlee of Chatta-

safety for the nine innocent Negro
boys and cessation of mistreatment
Of them by prison guards.
Chamlee will at the same time de-
mand that the boys be permitted to
receive the scores of visitors who have
been refused admission to the prison

ROOSEVELT HAS
POWER TO CUT
GOLD IN DOLLAR

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The
's9nate today authorized President
Roosevelt to decrease the go,l content
Ct the dollar by so per cent. The vote
on this section Of the Thomas infia-
ton was SO for and IS against. Since
this section was considered to have
caused the greatest opposition, the
Hassage of the gold reduction clause
makes the passage of the entire Tho
mas amendment certainty.
The Thomas amendment provides
FOR inflationary machinery for the
expansion Of many billions in credit
and currency. Together with the
Emergency Bank Act, the Roosevelt
administration will have power for an
unlimited imitation.
Accepts Silver For War Debts
The Senate also voted to accept
$500, 100000 in silver payment for war
debts. This silver will be used to coin
money or as backing for new paper
currency.
Glass Approves Greenbacks
The opposition to the claim giyina
the president the power to reduce the
gold content of the dollar was lead by
Senator Glass of Virginia. Glass made
a speech in which he analyzed the
Thomas amendment. The section
which provides for the issuance of
$4,000, 100000 of paper currency to be
used to meet government obligations
he found "the least Objectionable y
It is not to imitation as such that
Senator Glass objects.
Predicts Uncontrolled Initiation
Senator Glass, who is considered
the Senate's leading authority on
BANKING and finance matters. opposed
the Dill because he realized that it
contains all the elements of uncon-
troiled imitation. He pointed out that
Gne credit expansion program of the
Inomas amendment is doomed tn
failure, since there is no way in which
osnK credit can be forced into COM
merce. The credit expansion program
OF the Federal Reserve Banks under
hoover was failure for this reason
Glass then showed that once the
infiationary machinery of the Thomas
amendment is started, there is no
way that 1t can be stopped. He des-
cribed the infiationary program of
Roosevelt administration as "un-
bridled."

Scott, upon learning the details OF
the Mooney trial maneuvers in San
Francisco, sharply criticized the
statement made by Frank P. Walsh
in court that "thsse people (the

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s.--The
Tom Mooney Molders Defense Com
mittee today issued the following
postponement of the new trial" for
Mooney.
This treatment of Tom Mooney,
callously ignoring his rights, is a
sample of the treatment which
Mooney has been receiving from the
California bosses for years. II the
workers of California staged this huge
demonstration it is because the fight
ing spirit of the workers is aroused
by repeated violation of the rights Of
this militant working-cla leader.
I'VE have no control over the Cali
fornia workers, but their militancy
will not end in spite OF the Judge
Ward and the whole corrupt govern
ment.
Blaming the demonstration for
the postponement of the trial is
merely a ruse to prevent the bringing
/ of Mooney from San Quentin to San
Francisco, and another means of and
done in the hope of Gripping the
mass campaign in behalf of Tom.
The fight to free Mooney will go on
backed by the mass pressure of the
entire country"
Joseph Goncalves OF the Book
