FREE TOM MOONEY
MASS MEETING

Ten thousand workers filled the
civic auditorium in San Francisco July
%, on the nineteenth anniversary of
the frame-up of Tom Mooney. The
all-important and immediate purpose
Of this mass meeting was to signalize
attention to the monstrous injustice
of the continued Imprisonment of
Mooney on the rankest frame-up con-
spiracy ever perpetrated by open shop
employers against active militant
trade unionists, on the nineteenth
anniversary of his arrest.
Harry Bridges, militant maritime
labor leader, was one of the principle
speakers who emphatically protested
against continuing this monstrous in
justice, and declared that the only
hope CT the working class was labor
party.

Leo Gallagher, former attorney for
Mooney, commented at length on the
legal aspects of the Mooney case;
and Melvin Jackson, who represented
the Tom Mooney molders' defense
committee, spoke on the role of
youth in the struggle of labor for a
place in the sun and in the fight for
Tom Moneys freedom, and he de-
clared that the only hope for the young
men and women today was to make
this world better place to live in
than it is now.
Kanju Kato, chairman of the Ma
tional Trade Union Congress of Japan,
brought a message of peace and friend
ship from the workers of Japan, and
expressed international solidarity in
the demand that Tom Mooney be
freed. He delivered his grafton en-
tirely in Japanese, and at intervals
paused so that his interpreter could
translate for the audience what he
had said.

protest at the nineteen years Tom

dor of the county jail at San Francisco
The entire program of three hours
was broadcast over radio station

curance was during Rev. Alexander's
speech, when he asked for a demon
stration by the audience for the es-
pecial benefit of Tom Mooney. who
was listening to the meeting over the
radio from San Quentin. The radio
station Immediately cut him off the
air, and the announcer explained to
the radio audience that it was fed
