The Evening Star
Safety Council.

was launched last week by
The Star through the organization
of its own automobile driving en-
ployes into The Safety Council
of The Evening Star" Member
ship in this movement Is through
the signing of a pledge, printed
elsewhere Ia The Star. to observe
the fundamental rules Of safe
driving as enumerated.
The central thought In this new
attack against the wholesale kill
ing and manning people on the
streets and highways is to fake
the driver of an automobile realize
the responsibility he assumes at
the wheel. This is a responsibility
OF which he cannot divest himself.
Enrolment Of all the substantial
people of the District who drive
cars by the signing of a definite
pledge Of safe driving Is sure TO
make a substantial gain for the
protection Of life and limb.
To make this campaign a success
the immediate active cooperation
of every good citizen and citizen
organization Is required. Most
Of these organizations have from
time to time passed resolutions
and adopted reports In the in
terest of increasing the safety on
our streets and highways. Here
is real opportunity to do some
practical work for protection,
it may be of yourself or member
of your family.
First, turn to the pledge in todays
Star, sign, clip and mail as d.
rected. Next. start the ball rolling
for your association or its Execu-
tive Committee to- take the matter
up systematically for the getting
of all Of the signers possible. The
Star will provide the blank forms
upon which organizations may
sign up all Of their members who
drive cars and many Of the nom
members in their section.
There is opportunity for friendly
rivalry in this campaign Of mercy
and each organization should strive
to outstrip all others.
Just think of the moral influence
of having all the substantial drivers
signed up as assuming response
bility for the safe driving of their
own cars. And remember that
this campaign for safety can only
be put over through the active
assistance of these civic and busl-
ness bodies. Talk about assuming
responsibility-why. the fellows and
organizations who lay down on this
civic job will shoulder a vastly
greater responsibility than any one
else.
Send to room 900 Evening Star
Building for the blanks and let
The Star know that you and your
organization will do your part

y its attention focused on
the District estimates for the fiscal
year 1887 which have just been
made public. There is special
qualification that the school esti-
mates are so full and compre-
hensive in showing the actual i'm
mediate and some prospective
needs.
Frequently 1t has been charged
that the preliminary estimates
submitted by department heads to
the District Commissioners are
grossly padded and this Is prob
ably true in some instances. This
Is natural, for these heads know
that the cheese parers" must
have something to work on or they
are apt to wreck some perfectly
good recommendations.
Those interested in our public
schools, and this includes most Of
the civic minded, do not consider
the school estimates as padded. but

what is absolutely necessary II the

education Is to be put on an EN-

The Old Order Passeth

Dietrich Loewe, pioneering hat manufacturer
Of Danbury and leading figure in one of the most
famous labor wars in our history, has just died
in his Connecticut home, a broken and discour-
aged old man of 80.
The passing of this one-time hatter's appren-
tice who became a very rich man means more
than just the death OF an interesting character.
1t marks the closing Of a chapter.
Dick L,oewe, like many Of his generation, was
a complete individualist. When labor unions
vainly tried to organize his plant and struck he
hired strike-breakers. When they set up a ma
tional boycott against him he went to court.
He charged the United Hatters with violation
Of the antitrust law, asked damages of his for
mer employees and attached their homes. The
Supreme Court upheld him, even in his demand
for interest on the damage award.
Finally, after 10 years of fighting, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor paid the damages and
the case was dropped. Dietrich Loewe "won"
against the workers who helped him make his
fortune, but he lost his money and his business.
Today such a savage war as the one this in
dustrial overload waged with his workers would
be against the letter and the spirit of law. It
would also be against the spirit of the tines

The accumulation of indisputable data during
nineteen long years warrants the conclusion that
Mooney was convicted by processes which have
been aptly described as legal violence Never
theless the California courts have persistently
refused to grant a new trial and Mooney still
languishes in San Quentin Prison.
The Mooney case is not strictly limited to
Mooney himself. The larger question is, can
an innocent man, sent to prison for life on what
is generally admitted to be %perjured testimony,
be deprived Of his freedom permanently by the
technicalities of a State law which makes no pro-
vision for a new trial even though the IRREGULAR
ties and essential i~njustices of the original trial
are beyond question?
The Supreme Court Of the United States and
various State Supreme Courts have many times
ruled that mob intimidation destroys the due
process Of law prescribed by the Fourteenth
Amendment. The Supreme Court of California
now has to answer this question: Are not per-
jury and mob action equally destructive of due
process Of law2 All persons interested in the
preservation of fundamental justice in our judi
cial system hope that the Court will answer in
the affirmative and order the State Of California
to remove the striped suit from Tom Mooney
and restore him to the liberty of which he has
been unjustly deprived for many years.
Montana labor news., 1935-09-26
Justice for Mooney

The reopening of the Tom Mooney case by the
California State Supreme Court should mean the
beginning of the end of a long and uncalled for
injustice imposed on the man who is serving a
life sentence in San Quentin Prison for alleged
participation in the San Francisco Preparedness
Day bombing in 1916.
Albert Shaw, a California attorney acting as
a referee for the Supreme Court, is holding a
hearing on Moneys application for a writ of
habeas corpus based on the claim that he was
convicted by perjured testimony.
If Mr.. Shaw makes a favorable report to the
State Supreme Court, that should mean Moon
ey's liberation. If an unfavorable report is made
and the State Supreme Court %sustains it that
will send Mooney back to San Quentin. But it
will also pave the way for a hearing on the merits
of the case by the United States Supreme Court,
which refused to consider it a number of mon
this ago because of the belief that Mooney had
not exhausted every resource of the California
courts.
Following that ruling by the nations highest
judicial body, Mooney applied to the lower courts
of California for the habeas corpus writ, which
was denied. The present appeal to the Califor-
MIA State Supreme Court is the last point in Cali
fornia judicial procedure suggested by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court.
The shameless character of MONEYS trial in
San Francisco was condemned by the 1917 con-
v~ention Of the American Federation of Labor,
which declared that the majority Of our citizens
believe the conviction Of Mooney was brought
about Through testimony which branded some
Of the witnesses as p%erjurors and those who en-
deavored to procure subornation of perjury for
the purpose of securing such reward as might be
given to them for their testimony" On the
basis Of this belief the A.. F.. of L. demanded a
new trial for Mooney.
Judge Griffin, the trial judge, later supported
the position taken by the American Federation
Of Labor. He said that if the truth had been
told the jury and the jury had nevertheless con
victed Mooney, he would have set the convic-
ton aside as a gross miscarriage of justice. All
reasonable persons drew a similar conclusion
from the report Of the Wickersham Commission,
which very definitely showed that what the trial
court accepted as evidence warranting conviction
was nothing but absolute perjury.

CHANCES into VOCA-
TIONAL TRAINING

For many years a permanent division
has been functioning in the state OF
Montana for the rehabilitation Of men
and women injured in industry. Mr..
Left Frederickson is in charge at Hell
ena, Montana. There has been money
allocated, through this department, by
the Federal Government under the
F. E. r. A., and there has been a mum
Der of men and women sent to different
educational institutions in various parts
of the United States, from the state OF
Montana. While here in the state, a
number of men, women and children
have been supplied with artificial APP
~pliances, such as artificial arms, legs,
braces, etc, under the operation OF
Federal Government to rehabilitate
men and women injured in industry.
This department, at this time, is some
what limited in their activities due to
lack Of funds. This is a worthy prof
ect and should be carried forward. 1t
is a well known fact that certain men
and women who have received this aid
are now able to perform regular tasks
which they we're unable to do before.
In 1888, under the F. E. R. A., there
was brought out a five point educa-
tional program which consisted Of com
mercial and vocational education.
Many communities were W OF
this plan and had no knowledge of the
program, consequently there were only
a few classes organized. In 1884 there
was much more activity and many COM
mercial and vocational classes were or
panized. In fact the demand for these
courses were so great in II state that
in a short while they were going be-
yond the funds allocated to this state
There were many more academic
classes operating than vocational. II
soon became clear that purely academic
classes were not reaching the unem.
ployed, and as the vocational classes
we're coming to being, there soon de-
veloped a great flood Of applicants
from the unemployed and in fact from
all tradesmen. The vocational classes
that proved to be most successful were
the ones where the students had the
opportunity to work on industrial
equipment and also operate same.
The Kalispell F. +. r. A. vocational
school brought out some very interest
ing facts. First, it was clearly demon
strated that the students at first did
not care to study. They wanted to get
Montana labor news., 1935-09-26

Grating industrial equipment. How
ever, after they had spent some time,
working on various equipments, they
automatically acquired a desire for the
theoretical phases. While some may
say that this applies only to adults my
experience showed that it holds true
with the young men in high school and
colleges. A number Of young men
who we're tagging behind in high
school were afforded the opportunity
to join the vocational school and in a
short while brought up their school
studies to a point where they became
leaders in high school classes. 1t is
evident therefore, that when given the
opportunity to do things they liked, it
creates within them a desire for higher
learning. A young mar who had been
failing in his mathematics and mechani-
cal drafting and who had been given
the opportunity to work on various in
dustrial equipment was asked to sketch
different machine parts and to give ac-
curate measurements He returned to
his school and attacked his mathemati-
cal problems and drafting with o
zeal, and in a short time became an
outstanding student. Almost 20 per
cent really knew what vocation they
wished to follow, while 80 per cent
wanted to take anything and every
| thing under the sun. Given a free
choice and try at the various courses,
the students soon settled down to the
type of work suitable to them. To al
lay the bears Of our skilled craftsmen,
it can be confidently stated that 80
per cent of the students wished to fol-
low commercial and agricultural lines,
holding the opinion that trades did
not afford steady employment.
We usually find upon further inquiry
that education is full Of Pollyanna
hooey with a little useful knowledge
sprinkled in. The worst part Of it is,
that the young must take it whether
they like it or not. A great deal Of
work is being done by educators at
the present time on the problem of
training for the wise use Of leisure, a
more proper term would be, training
for wise use Of enforced idleness. On
the other hand, we have a large group
who are fearful lest, men who are given
practical knowledge and leisure will
deinerate mentally and physically. The
scientific student knows that there is
no such things as inactivity. Human
beings are restless, if they are not do
ing n thing, they are another. This
urge for activity must be guided into
positive and creative channels. Our
educational system has failed us and
there must be brought to bear upon
the force Of an enlightened adult
opinion which proclaims that one
Montana labor news., 1935-09-26

of the chief functions of the schools is
to train u children and adults in the
proper mode of procedure SO they may
make wholesome use OF leisure time. It
is comforting to know there are a few
educators beginning to question
whether our utilitarianism has not been
largely futilitarianism. After all, the
highest development Of personality
comes not from keeping a man ignorant
and his nose to the grindstone but Civ
ing him knowledge and leisure to fol-
low his bent. Fortunately human be-
ings appear to be able to adjust them
selves rather easily provided that it is
not accompanied by the lack of food
and other necessities of life.
Montana labor news., 1935-09-26

Special to Montana Labor News:
Juneau, Observation-Disclosures to us,
another law has been passed in the
Land of the Free. An unassuming pic
ket walking up and down the Alaska
Steamship dock was accosted by a per-
son not known to the picket and told
to get off the dock (Which is a public
thoroughfare when a passenger ship is
docked). OF course the picket did not
pay any attention to this unknown per-
son. In an hour or so the entire city
police force was looking for this fell
low wanting to arrest him for carrying
a sign on the dock to show that a strike
is on at the Alaska Juneau. Eventual
|ly the unfortunate miner was found and
locked up in the Federal jail charged
with trespassing and resisting arrest.
Funny thing was the miner did not
know anyone was going to arrest him
inasmuch as he had broken no laws. He
now is in jail under bond. This is so
ridiculous that nothing can be said
about it fit to print. When the flat
feet and round bellies get together we
don't look for much favor. This man
was not arrested for anything but the
fact that he is an active Union man.
The powers that be have been told by
the mighty mine owners TO get men
like him out of the way. The tools
have heard, and they have bowingly
acceeded. However, the sign carried
by the Union mar was rescued by an
equally active Union woman. In do
ing so one OF the gentlemanly cops
kicked her on the shin, causing an ugly
bruise. What breed Of men we have
here in the frozen north III We have
read books about Alaska telling Of men
being shot for speaking roughly to a
lady, let alone kicking one on the shins.
