Daily Dispatch Bureau,
Qr - <eh & E[UNjb VYWWW

Raleigh, Feb. 2-Enactment of leg
islation which will permit the prison
division to discontinue the use of
stripes on prisoners will be sought in
this session of the General Assembly,
probably within the next few days,
Acting Director Oscar Pitts, of the di-
vision, said today Pitts is convinced
that the use of stripes on prisoners
has a bad effect both on the morals of
the prisoners and especially upon the
children. wives and relatives of pris-
oners. At the present time North
Carolina is one of only four states in
the entire United States which still
use stripes on prisoners, and in these
four states the practice is required
by legislative enactment.
Prison officials and executives al
most everywhere are convinced that
the use of striped uniforms for pris-
oners has nothing in it's favor and
much against it," Pitts said. "The
Federal government stopped using
stripes on Federal prisoners long ago
as nave all of the more progressive
states. They found that stripes had
pad effect on the morals of prison
ers' also that stripes had a still great
er negative psychological effect upon
the families of prisoners.
The primary purpose of stripes. of
course, was to make prisoners feel
sense OF shame and degradation and TO
publicly mark them as felons. in order
to break their spirit. But the new
trend in prison management is to
Try 10 make up self-respect and
sence OF honor among prisoners. rath-
er than to try to make them feel
degraded. But as long as prison
ers are compelled to wear strines
branding them as law breakers ana
feaons, it is difficult to build I'm
any sense of self-respect and honor
among them"
Prison Director Pitts said that IL
the present law is amended so that ~
will no longer be mandatory to dress
prisoners in the two lower grades in
stripes, that the prison system will
continue to grade prisoners, but use
different colored uniforms for the va
rious grades.

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 2
Carney Davis, Davidson county All
club boy, spared no effort in raising
his Guernsey calves, and now the
calves are going to help put him
through college.
Davis is pis(ured above, holding one
of the calves with which he won a
years scholarship to State College
awarded by the North Carolina Cot
tonseed Crushers Association.
The award was to the North Caro-
lima All calf club member making
the best record over a period of one
or more years, said L. r. Harrill,
i'll club leader at State College.
In 1880, when he was II years old,
Davis started his calf club work and
has been in it ever since, keeping care
ful records on all his animals and

winning numerous prizes for their
high quality.
One of the cows, which he grew, pro
duced 9,175.8 pounds of milk and 1907
pounds of butterfat in 1888 and thus
qualified for advanced registry with
the American Guernsey Cattle Club
During the seven years he has been
a club member, Davis has exhibited
calves at the State Fair six times. His
prizes have amounted to $269.37 above
the cost of exhibiting the animals.
Davis figures he has realized a pro-
fit Of $1,655.31 in addition to the pr.t es
won at fairs. He has eight purebred
Guernseys valued at $500, and has sold
$405 worth of calves. -Four of his
calves in milk at the present time
were not figured in the profit column

ney. The position taken by the American
Federation of Labor was later supported by
Judge Griffin, the trial Judge. He said that
if the truth had been told the jury and the
july had, nevertheless, convicted Mooney, he
would have set the conviction aside as a gross
miscarriage of justice.
The view taken by the American Fedora
ton of Labor from the beginning that the
conviction of Mooney was based upon testi-
mony SO fimsy that it should have had no
standing in a court of law was also con-
frmed by two Federal Commissions-one
appointed by President Wilson and one by
President Hoover-which found the trial so
tainted with perjury that Moneys convic-
ton was disgrace to all traditions of Ameri-
can jurisprudence. Despite the accumulated
evidence definitely showing that what the
trial court accepted as warranting conviction
was nothing but absolute perjury the SUI
preme Court of California has persistently
refused to grant a new trial and Mooney still
languishes in San Quentin Prison.
The Mooney case is not in reality limited
to Mooney himself. There is a larger ques-
ton. Can an innocent man, sent to prison

state law which makes no provision for a
new trial wen though the irregularities and
essential injustice of the original trial are

On more than one occasion the Supreme
Court of the United States has ruled that
mob intimidation destroys the due process of
law prescribed by the Fourteenth Amend
ment. Shortly the Supreme Court, in con
sidering the Mooney case, will have to an
swer this question: Are not perjury and mob
action equally destructive of due process of
law?
All persons interested in the preservation
of fundamental justice in our affirmative and
order the State of California to remove the
striped suit from Tom Mooney, open the
doors of San Quentin Prison, and restore him
to the liberty of which he has been u~njustly
deprived for twenty years.

House by Mr.. O'Connell and in the Senate by

"Tidings Of Great joy
By DIR A STEELE

by LIN .1Ilfan1LEO 04ELLGE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
Behold, bring you good tidings of great
JOY, which shall be to all people"
For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son."
Christmas would not be complete without
Calvary.
The Christ-child lying in the Bethlehem
manger would mean little to the world, if
the man Christ had not also been nailed to
the cross.
The world today must see the other side
of Christmas-the God side-beyond the
angels song, and the message Of peace on
earth and good will among men.
1t must see the heart of our Heavenly
Father, who gave his Son that the world
might know how great is His concern about
the woes of the world.
For that is what the angels 0 meant.
1t meant much more; but, if it meant less, it
would mean nothing at all.
The Christmas message means that neither
class, nor creed, nor race, nor color shall
divide the sons of men. The tidings Of great
joy were for all people.
It is only as men themselves erect bar
riers that the world is robbed Of Christmas
joy.
And it is the barrier that is first erected
in their hearts-covetousness, hatred,
envy, strife-that shuts out the spirit Of
Christmas, which is love, joy and peace.
1t should be recalled that the angels
wondrous glory song was first heard by
humble shepherds who watched their hocks
by night. None heard that song in palace,
temple, court or mart. The ears of all with
in were deaf.
Christ came first to those whose aching
hearts cried out: "How long?" He came in
largest measure to the men who were wait
ing for redemption from the anguish which
filled their souls.
And SO, today, the workers of the world
should remember the angels song, which
brings with it hope for a new day when the
promise of joy shall be fulfilled.

The Cooperative Christmas
BY ]. P. WARBASSE

An historic date was the 21st of December,
1874. On that shortest day of the year an
event of far-reaching Importance occurred.
T%wenty-eight poor weavers in Rochdale,
England, had succeeded, after a year of eff
fort, in saving a total sum of $40. On that
date, they opened their cooperative store. 1t
signalized a new era in business. II Gus
toners became their own merchant. A CO.
operative star shone in the economic firma-
ment at that dark Christmas time.
People who need things have learned how
to use the Rochdale method to supply their
needs. Cooperative stores have multiplied,
Great wholesales-some of the largest in the
world-have developed. Manufacturing in
consumer-owned factories is producing the
things cooperators use. Services, such as
banking, insurance, housing, medical care
and recreations, have been developed in the
non-profit cooperative field to an extent that
astonishes students of economics.
Around that small star of Rochdale, and
around the world, now is to be seen a galaxy
Of cooperatives. More than 1000 coopera-
tive societies with $50, DOC, 900 members rep
resent one-fourth of the families of the
world. Their yearly business of 80 billion
dollars is carried on by people who are learn
ing how to serve themselves and thus to get
better access to the things they need. With
out destroying the prevalent method Of bust
ness, without cataclysm or chaos, cooperative
business steadily grows and takes the place
of profit business. Consumers are training
themselves as they go, and quietly intro
ducing the service motive in business in
pIana nf tho prn1t motive
A disturbed world may view with hope
and satisfaction this stabilizing cooperative
business in which invested capital and the
positions of employed workers are more Sc
cure than in profit business and in which
mutual aid is the guiding principle.

Mooney Case Scheduled For U. S.
Supreme Court

The refusal Of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia last month to grant the plea of Tom
Mooney for a writ of habeas corpus definite
ly schedules the Mooney case for considera-
ton by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Moneys plea before the high judicial
body of California was based on his claim
that he was convicted Of participation in the
San Francisco Preparedness Day bombing
in 1916 by perjured testimony. The demand
for a writ of habeas corpus was presented to
the California Supreme Court two years ago
following the refusal of the United States
Supreme Court to consider the case because
of the courts belief that Mooney had not
exhausted every resource provided by the
California courts.
In denying Moneys application for a writ
of habeas corpus the California court has
now held, despite volumes of evidence to the
contrary, that Mooney had a fair trial. In
addition, the court found mo substantial
credible evidence to show the commission
of perjury by witnesses in the 1916 trial.
Moreover, the court vent out of its way and
declared that Moneys conviction was justi-
fled.
Supreme Court Justice Langdon dissented
from the opinion signed by five of his asso-
ciates on the California court. He said:
The question here involved is not the
guilt or innocence of Thomas J. Mooney. The
issue, as defined by the United States Su-
preme Court, is whether he was accorded
due process Of law on his trial for murder.
TN this dissenting opinion no useful pur-
pose would be served by reviewing the evil
dence. The preponderance Of the material,
credible evidence in the record leads me to
conclude that on his trial petitioner was not
accorded due process of law.
For that reason, the writ of habeas corpus
should issue"
The utterly shameless character of Moo
ney's trial in San Francisco was emphatically
condemned by the 1917 convention of the
American Federation of Labor, which de-
clared that the majority of our citizens be-
lieve the conviction of Mooney was brought
about Through testimony which branded
some of the witnesses as perjurors and those
who endeavored 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 Moo

Judge Who Sentenced Tom Mooney

Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who presided at
the trial Of Tom Moony, and sentenced him
on the perjured testimony Of Oxman the cat
tie dealer, says:
In the face Of this demonstrated perjury,
in light of its willful presentation to the jury
trying Mooney, and in view of the willful
suppression, at the time, of all evidence favor
able to him, no fair-minded person who will
familiarize himself with the details of the
truth of the Mooney case will now deny that
Mooney is entitled to be pardoned.
