Great Britain nor the United States
would rouse themselves from the
placidity that descended upon them
following the World War.
John Bull is now aroused. The
moment Italy f1aunted him in the

be inscribed as the beginning of the

In this present world uncertainty
IT is entirely possible that a major un-

overnight America will take a position
commensurate with her dignity as a

| HAS 500
| CLIENTS

The La Toilette committee probed
into the activities of the Corpora
tons Auxiliary Co., and the Inter
national Auxiliary, interlocking as
sociations serving more than 500 in
dustrial clients in 10 states.
The president of this concern,
one James ii. Smith, admitted
that the associations largest GUS
toner was Chrysler Motors, and
that General Motors came next
or the list.
Labor representatives told the
committee that the Corporations
Auxiliary was responsible for the
discharge of experienced and skilled
men, and that drives for unionization
Of employees had been slowed down
because workers feared to attend
union meeting for fear of labor spies
and their terroristic methods.
The committees attention will
be shifted next to the Chrysler
Corporation and to General Mo-
tors, but it will not be confined
to any m or two companies.
The investigation will be espe-
cially concerned with the
charges that the bigger auto
mobile companies have set up
elaborate systems of labor spy
ing.
Because of the strike deadlock
that exists in the vast General
Motors organization, the La Fol-
lette investigation is considered
doubly important.
Legislation that will be proposed
as a result Of the investigation will
undoubtedly take into consideration
the interstate character of the cor
%porations involved.

HUNGER AND
FASCISM

Butter" General Goering told the
German people, causes big bellies"
Propaganda of this sort is m of the
ways in which the Nazi government
seeks to educate" the German peo-
pie to accept the shortage of meats,
fats and grains, the high food prices,
the falling standard of living and the
recently announced Four Year Plan.
The fat shortage is so acute that
it has been decided to salvage drain
pipe greases IN. Y. Times ~12-13-36).
There is a Clio per cent deficiency
in meats and vegetables in the
Reich, as well as a shortage of l.
900, 900 tons of wheat and 100000
tons of rye. The editors of the Ber-
liner Tageblatt and the Frankfurter
Zeitung, the only two German pa
pers that printed the information
about the rye shortage, were sum-
marily dismissed and replaced by
trusted Nazis. Wages have been cut
drastically, and special deductions
and taxes have been made until, ac-
cording to official figures, the aver
age German worker now receives
$11.12 per week. Employed workers
are subject to so many assessments
to help the unemployed, that both
groups have approximately the same
standard of living.
While the people of Germany go
hungry, food is rationed and food
prices have ~skyrocketed while wages
are cut 30 per cent, the Nazis pre-
pare for war. To quote Propaganda
Minister Goebbels, eve will . not
relax the fight for our colonies i.
Never mind if sometimes we run
short of butter and eggs. Before we
r dislodged the whole remaining
world will have become Fascist or
National Socialist"
OF the Four Year Plan the New
York Times wrote on November 8,
1896: ut cannot be said that this
plan has aroused any great enthusi-
asm among the people. They feel it
will mean new sacrifices, new pri-
vations. :" 1t will "raise prices
further reduce the purchasing
power of their wages"

Conviction Of Mooney
Held Fair by Referee
Representative of California SUI
preme Court Claims Charges
of Frame-Up' Are No Proved
Judges Will Fix Date for
Arguments ON Report.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. (AFLNS)
Thomas j. Mooney, serving a life
sentence in San Quentin Prison for
alleged participation in the San
Francisco bomb outrage during the
Preparedness Day Parade in 1916,
in which ten persons were killed
and fifty injured, lost the first round
in his new struggle for justice and
freedom when A. E. Shaw, referee
of the California Supreme Court,
ruled with the Attorney Generals
office that Mooney had not proven
his charges of perjury and framed
testimony in his conviction and was
therefore not entitled to release from
prison on habeas corpus.
ut is established by the prepond-
erance of evidence" Shaw reported
to the Supreme Court, that the pc
titioner had a fair and impartial
trial, and that he was not denied any
right or privilege guaranteed or
granted him by the Constitution of
the United States or of the State of
California, or by any statute of the
United States or the State of Cali
fornia."
Chief Justice William H. Waste
said the Supreme Court would fix a
date for legal arguments on the re-
port, after which the court will rem
der a formal decision. In case the
court sustains the report of the ref
cree and denies that Mooney is en-
titled to release from San Quentin
on the writ of habeas corpus, the
case will undoubtedly be appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The new case was initiated by
Mooney here following a decision by
the U. S. Supreme Court that the
judicial tribunals of California still
had authority to act on the habeas
corpus despite the fact that the State
Supreme Court had previously con-
tended the case was closed, and that
Mooney must exhaust all of his
rights in the California courts before
the Nations high judicial tribunal
would consider his claims of per-
jured testimony, suppression of facts
by the prosecuting officials, and the
violation of his constitutional rights
by imprisoning him in San Quentin.

INVESTIGATION
DIRECTED AT
AUTO INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sen. Rob
ert M. La Follette's senate sub-com-
mittee investigating violations OF
civil liberties and labor spying gave
the nation additional sensational
disclosures.
The work of the committee during
last week looked into the Birming-
ham, Ala, region where there APP
pears to be terrorism and persecu-
ton among workers in mines, foun-
dries, and plants, particularly the
huge Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail
road Co., subsidiary of the the U. S
Steel Corporation.
There was testimony to the eff
feet that a member of the Ma
tiOnal Committee for the De-
Tense of Political Prisoners was
flOgged and that his assailants,
although identified, were not
punished and the local grand
jury refused to vote indictments
against them. 1t was charged in
the testimony that the fl0ggers
were employees of the company.
Placed in the committee records
were statements concerning the COM
pany's secret police who were ap-
parently immune from punishment
for any and all offenses, while wit
nesses told of the subserviency Of
public officials. Jails into which vic
Tins of the alleged terror were
thrown were described as unsanitary
torture houses.
Investigating the operations of the
so-called National Metal Trades as
ISOLATION, the committee was in
formed that this strike-breaking
agency has 952 clients and a "war
chest of $214,929.
Under questioning by Sen. La Fol
lette it was brought out that the OBJ
ject of the organization was to pro-
tect anti-labor employers and their
"open shop systems. It was also
shown that this employers agency,
in order to avoid the provisions OF
the Byrnes law which prohibits
transportation of trike-breakers
across state lines, had set up organ
izations in various states.

Whose prosperity: Although Mr..
Roosevelt writes A. F. of L. conven-
ton, November 16, that 1.-THE return

happiness to citizens in all parts of
the country" Harry L. Hopkins,
WPA Administrator, tells the May
ors' Conference in Washington next
day that even with the same volume
of production as in 1929, carefully
prepared estimates indicate that
there will still be some 6,500,000 to
1900, 900 unemployed" And this fig
ure is an underestimation. Counting
both industrial and agricultural I'M
employed, the figure would be well
over 10000, 900.

REPORT ON
MINISTER'S

The operatives report on EVERY

testified Dan G. Ross, general man
ager, who added that "if a minister
of the gospel preached that labor
and industry had different aims, we
would report him to the nearest
client"
Operatives of the Corporations
Auxiliary Co. spent over $1,000 in a
month to entertain an active union
man whose attitude puzzled the
plant manager" The man in ques-
ton was Richard T. Frankensteen,
member of the executive board of
the United Automobile Workers and
now organizer in charge of the De-
troit district.
F~rankensteen was at the time, in
1885, an employee representative in a
Chrysler plant and his father had
long worked for the same company.
The men who tried to get something
on him through the entertainment,
Frankensteen testified, were John c.
Andrews, operative L-392, and A. J.
Bath, operative F-B of the corpora
tons Auxiliary Company.

UNION MAN


Dramatic testimony as to how he
had been trapped into labor spy
ing was given by Chas. Rigby, mem
Der of the United Automobile Work
ers and grievance man for the union
in the Electric Auto-Lite Company
plant in Toledo.
A Pinkerton official tricked Rigby
into making reports by telling him
that he was a government agent sent
out to run down v~iolators of the
NRA.
'"That man who tried to wreck
my life and to make a spy of me
is in this room this minute" Rigby
suddenly cried at the hearing. A
large mar in the room, to whom he
pointed, when summoned to the
stand testified that his name was
Roy L. Burnside, assistant super
intendent of the Pinkerton Detroit
office.
A report from a Pinkerton oper-
alive on duty at the Owens-Illinois
Glass Company plant in Toledo sug-
gested that three union leaders be
eliminated" if the strike were to be
settled.

MEN WON'T WORK
WITH SPIES

Suddenly turning to Herman L.
Weckler, vice president and general
manager of the De Soto subsidiary
of Chrysler, Frankensteen said:
81 think men of the type of Mr..
Weckler and K. T. Keller (Chrysler
general manager and member of the
administrative council of the Metal
Trades Association, another spy or
%ganization) are worse than a dope
peddler who sells narcotics to adj
diets. They go on and pretend to
be decent citizens and hire men for
spy jobs-the lowest criminals in the
world. Weckler and Keller say they
are decent citizens. I say they are
not.

number of events which cannot be for
