Governor Benson left this week for
California to address monster mass
meeting called by organized labor in
San Francisco to protest the latest
outrage of the California courts in
the long chain of abuses which have
been handed Tom Mooney and War
rem K. Billings, the worlds most fam
Gus labor prisoners.
Benson agreed to be chief speaker
after he had received personal plea
from MONEYS cell in San Quentin
prison. california supreme court
has turned down my petition for a
writ of habeas corpus" Mooney tele-
graphed the Governor, "again deny
ing me justice. . We will appeal
Immediately to the U. S. Supreme
Court and will hold a giant mass
meeting here. Will you come to Cali
fornia to address this meeting?
plead with you from the bottom OF
my heart to make this trip and help
us in this final drive for freedom and
vindication."
Moneys fight for freedom long ago
ceased to be case local to Califor-
MIA. 1t has become the rallying point
for the battle between those who
want our courts used as agencies OF
human oppression, and those who
want the courts used to protect hui
man rights. No one today can deny
that Mooney was convicted by means
of perjured testimony arranged by a
corrupt district attorneys office. Con-
gressmen, judges, liberals and pub
lie opinion itself know that Mooney
was framed. The only question now
remaining is: How shall he be freed?
Minnesota may well be glad that
Benson has gone to MONEYS aid
for it gives this famed victim of re-
dictionary Justice" that much added
prestige.
The lumberjack strike in Mime
sofa, north woods has ended with
the signing of closed-shop contract
and wage raises for the union Zone
of Minnesota's newest, as a result
of Governor Benson's intervention
1t marks the Governors eighth strike
settlement, all successful in that they
have brought definite gains to the
workers involved
The two months strike was notable
for another attempt on the part OF
reactionarieS to play off farmers
against workers and the failure OF
that attempt. With few exceptions
farmers in and near the timber belt
were the strikers strongest support
ers and aided largely in the success

The Minnesota railroad and ware
house commission is protesting any
further increase in freight rates on
farm products such as grain, flax
seed, hay and other stock feeds, and
all livestock and dairy products, at
hearing of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that opened November
% in Washington, D. c.
Harold Atwood, state railroad and
warehouse commissioner; Harry Och
Ter, assistant attorney-general; and
Otto A Radke, commission rate eX-
pert, are presenting the case for the
state before the ICC. The railroads
of the United States on October 10
had been granted rate increases of
approximately S5O,OOO,OOO. That rate
became effective November Is on in
terstate traffic. On October 20, the
Minnesota lines applied to the state
railroad and warehouse commission
for similar increases within the state
of Minnesota The state commission
had hearing on their application
November %, and now has the case
under adviSement.
Then the railroads again nationally
petitioned the ICC on November 5,
for further rate increases of approx
imately Is per cent, and it is on
this petition that the present hear
ing is concerned. The state body
is opposing the increase as far as
agriculture is concerned because "rec-
ords of the Minnesota commission
show that compared with other
classes of traffic, the rates on farm
products are too high" according to
Commissioner Atwood.
One of the nations major farm
organizations took a forWard-l looking
step last week when the Farmers
Union made plans for close coopera-
ton with American labor.
Other important decisions were
made at the national convention held
in Oklahoma City. A national or

State Capitol News
By A. I. HARRIS

The Republicans are going to hold
a state convention and, we have it
on good authority, 1--WE insist on keep
ing the source of our information
secret) they are planning to ask the
people to restore them to power.
They will seek this public vote
of confidence on the basis of the
formidable record which they made
in the last Legislature. Here is part
of it:
They opposed homestead exemp-
ton, and, when forced to pass it,
emasculated the measure so that home
owners and farmers will not receive
its full benefits for five years.
They killed the AFL state labor
relations act.
They administered a dose of sleep
ing powder to the 44-hour bill for
women in industry.
They delivered telling-knock-out
blows to the housing bill, depriving
the state of millions of dollars of
federal funds and depriving thou
sands of workers of jobs; the oleo-
margarine bill, which would have
aided our sorely pressed farming pop
ulation; the bill to prohibit the i'm
portation of thugs and strikebreakers
during labor disputes; the bill to reg
ulate the activities of paid lobbyists
And last, but not least, they at
tempted to put over tax program
which would have resulted in %
mill levy for state purposes instead
of a 10 mill maximum levy, which
was finally set.
Surely record upon which they
can be swept back into office!
The fact that they did not succeed
in their tax program is no reflection
at all upon the sterling, fighting quail
tiles they displayed.
The nation is faced currently with
probably the neatest sit-down strike
within memory-the Sit-down strike
of Big Business. The striking CAPT.
talistS are demanding: abolish taxes
on excessive profits, balance the bud
get by cutting down on relief, and
curb the drives of organized labor
to unioniZe their workers.
The government could well an
swer these demands with few OF
its own. Private business, after all
is actually, in most instances, public
business in private hands. 1t remains
in private hands only because the
patience of the people is so long. The
government might well say to these
big fellows now on strike: Perform
your public trust-roll up your sleeves
and get busy Or else!"
And if it really meant what it said
Big Business would have no diff
Guilty in understanding what cor else
meant.

BRITISH DEMAND
SATISFACTION

LONDON. Aug. " G.N.sJ.
With breach of diplomatic rela-
tons a possibility, British public
opinion lined up solidly behind
the government today in its de-
mand for complete satisfaction
from Tokyo for the wounding Of
the British ambassador to China,
Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen.
The British press demanded
fullest possible reparation from
Japan for the incident, in which
the ambassador was gravely
wounded by. a machine gun bullet
from an attacking japanese plane
while motoring from Marking to
Shanghai.
The conservative Times Of Lon
don, which frequently reflects
government opinion, Numbered a
denunciation of the Japanese
action and stated:
Apologies alone will not be
sufficient reparation.
"The status of ambassador is
sacrosanct. Nothing excuses its
violation"
The more outspoken London
News Chronicle, berated Japan
as a "robber nation flouting inter
national law and decency."
