About 500 weavers walked out on

eminent in regimenting industry for
the next war.
johnson, who was involved in the
actual drafting of the Industry Con-
troll Bill, is reported to have already
started the preliminary work of or
ganization.
One of the chief purposes of the
Industries Control Bill is to put over
a general sales tax and to finance a
military public works program which
will concentrate principally on the
building of 81 new ships.
The features of the bill concerned
with the sterilization" of industry
cover up the main object, the sales
tax. They call for the establishment
Of voluntary codes in each industry
which will regulate hours Of work,
wages and production. Penalties of
$500 will be provided against those
who fail to abide by the code, indi-
eating that the national planning
feature merely masks the attempt Of
monopoly capital to tighten its grip.
This aspect of the bill provides the
weapon to the big capitalists to
squeeze out their smaller competitors
and will lead to greater classification
and control.
The capitalist press frankly states
that "big business" now becomes the
laws pet.
At the same time the regulation of
working conditions for the workers
will result in the same wartime regi-
mentation, with the right to organize
and strike outlawed.
Provisions in the bill call for the
bill to be in effect for two years and
to be terminated earlier if the Presi-
dent declares the emergency at an
end. This indicates that the bill is
step in strengthening the grip of
monopoly control and for the organi-
zation of industry on wartime basis
in preparation for the coming war.
From all reports, the bill will be
railroaded through the House on
Wednesday under rigid rules Of pro-
cedrre limiting debate.

Transfer In Secret
The famous labor prisoner was yes
terday secretly transferred from San
Quentin prison where he has been
for the past II years, and lodged in
the San Francisco county Jail. The
removal was made In connection with
the second trial of Mooney on an
unused Indictment, due to begin here
on Monday.
MONEYS journey across San Fran
cisco bay was shrouded in mystery
by the authorities in order to pre-
vent a demonstration of welcome by
thousands of workers who for years
have kept up ceaseleSs agitation for
his freedom. 1t was the militant
character of the demonstration of
10000 workers which Judge Ward
used as an excuse to postpone the
Mooney trial several weeks ago.
Leo Gallagher, International La
Dor Defense attorney, has compelled
the service of % subpoenaes of wit
nesses for the trial. In this con-
nection, Mooney said that "our de-
mand is for the admission of every
scrap of evidence. It's the only way
we can prove my conviction was a
frame-up."
Greeted by Wife
MONEYS wife, Rena, visited the
prisoner just as soon as she learned
that he had been brought to San
Francisco from San Quentin. She
was allowed Is minutes with him and
she said for the first time in IL years
she sat beside him and kissed him.
She was arrested with Mooney in 1916
but was acquitted.
Enemies Active
Meanwhile, the enemies of the
Mooney defense continued in their
efforts to block the trial by which
the LID. and the Mooney Molders
Defense Committee hope to expose
the whole hideous frame-up. John
O'Gara, former prosecutor, again an
nounced that he would seek a state
supreme court writ ordering dismiss
sal of the unused indictment, thus
preventing the trial.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 19.-Eleven
hundred workers, the majority Negro

day announced a SO per cent wage
increase. The strikers voted yester-
day at their mass meeting to strike

PALMA, Mallorca, Aug. IT..
U.N.S0 Beaten by the depres-
sion, scores of Americans in their
20's and 30's have come to Nal
lorca and other islands of the
Balearic group to live in Seclu-
sion.
There are not many of them on
Malorca itself. Most Of them
have gone to the more obscure
islands of the Balearic group,
where only a few natives ever
appear to bother them in their
nonproductive existence. One ma
tive said:
"You find these Americans
everywhere where there is a
suggestion of isolation.
They've retired there to die.
They don't buy anything ex-
cept the barest necessities for
existence"
The foreign community of NAL
iorca, however, despite it's de-
featist attitude, is essentially an
art colony. It is Greenwich Viii
1age and Montparnasse in one.
Everyone paints, sings, plays a
musical instrument, or does some-
thing else requiring talent. There
are several art schools operated
nv Americans
These schools of painting are
handicapped by lack of models.
Spanish girls don't take to posing
except as a last and dreadful
resort. Hence grumbling art stu
dents invariably have to put up
with sketching young men.
Spanish inhabitants scott at the
suggestion that Mallorca's new
popularity with tourists has
brought prosperity to the island.
The profit from the tourist trade
doesn't affect them, they say, and
furthermore they declare Mallorca
always has been prosperous.
