FOOT AS CONVENTION ENDS;
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION FORMED
Protection of Civil Liberties, Ex-
pansion of Social Security and
Extensive Organizing Cam
paign Planned for the Future.

PITTSBURGH. - (FP) - Blowing
horns, throwing strips of multi
colored confetti, banging on tables,
stamping on the floor and rafting
noise-makers, delegates to the first
constitutional convention of the Con
gress of Industrial Organizations
wound up their 5-day meeting here
in a gala spirit.
John L. Lewis, former chairman
of the old Committee for Industrial
Organization, was unanimously
elected president after an ~uproarious
demonstration lasting % minutes.
Sidney Hillman Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and Philip Muir
ray of the Steel Workers Organizing
Committee, who were vice-chairmen,
were named vice presidents, and
James B. Carey, youthful president
of the United Electrical Radio &
Machine Workers was given the post
of secretary-treasurer There were
no contests for any office.
1t is expected that John Brophy.
director of the old CLIO, will continue
as an executive officer of the new
organization.
Underlying the closing celebration
was a note of seriousness and a
realization that only the framework
of the modern labor temple the CLIO
hopes to build had been erected.
Completion of the building was still
ahead and it was to that end the
delegates devoted their attention as
they returned to the front trenches.
What the convention hoped to
achieve by the mass organizing drive
it launched was illustrated in the
resolutions. In general they were
concerned with the right of labor
to the fruits of its toll, the extension
and preservation of American demo-
cracy and the security of workers

NEW PARDON HOPE
Cheers TOM MOONEY
Celebrated Prisoner Promised
Hearing by Governor Elect.

SAN QUENTIN, Calf. - (AP) -
Broadly smiling, Tom Mooney went
about his prison routine as a hospital
orderly Thursday with new hope OF
freedom through a pardon by Cali
fornia's Democratic governor-elect
gilbert L. Olson.
But he has hoped so many times
before, in the twenty-five years he
has been in prison after conviction
of the 1916 Preparedness Day bomb
ing outrage in San Francisco, he was
hesitant about doing any premature
rejoicing over the Olson statement
promising an early hearing on a new
pardon application, and indicating
it would be viewed with favor.
The gray-haired, gray-garbed pris-
oner said he thought he would wait
until he saw the prison gates actual
ly shut behind him before doing
any shouting for JOY"
Olson Believes Mooney Innocent
Olson reiterated Wednesday his
previous belief that Mooney was in
nocent of the bombing, in which ten
persons were killed and forty in
jured, and that he was convicted on
perjured testimony. He said he
would hold a hearing, to which any
one might bring objections to setting
Mooney free, before acting upon the
pardon application,
The prisoner did not venture to
express any plan for a future life if
he wins release, but said merely, Il
feel that I can take my place again
in society"
Only last month Mooney had the
bitter disappointment of learning the
United States supreme court had re-
fused to review his application for
freedom on habeas corpus proceed
ings, after CALIFORNIA; supreme court
acted upon it unfavorably. Four
years ago, he watched with anxiety
that turned to disappointment, cleo
ton returns which defeated Upton
Sinclair, gubernatorial candidate
who had promised to free the pris-
oner whom laboring classes around
the world have adopted as a martyr
on the theory he was convicted be-
cause privileged interests wanted to
be rid of a labor agitator.
Prisoner Processes No Bitterness
81 have never held any bitterness"
said Mooney, because l believe that
by being in prison twenty-five years
l have served the cause (labor) bet
ter than l could have done on the
outside"
"Of his pardon hope, he said:
IF Governor Olson pardons me,
he will become famous not only be-
cause he is governor but also be-
cause he pardoned Tom Mooney"
Mooney was first sentenced to
death for the bombing, but the SEN
tence was committed to life imprison-
ment at the urging of President
Woodrow Wilson.

than prevail in private industry.
The subject came before the con-
vention in the report of the A. F. of
L. executive council.
Large Portion of Fund Paid in Wages
Thereafter the construction of
highways by the states with the aid
of federal funds" the report said,
may include such roadside and
landscape development, including
such sanitary and other facilities as
may be deemed reasonably necessary
to provide for the suitable accom-
mediation of the public, all within
the highway right-of-way and adj
jacent publicly owned or controlled
recreation areas of limited size and
with provision for convenient and
safe access thereto by pedestrian and
vehicular traffic as may be approved
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
1.-THE employment of workers on
highway construction is Of the great
est benefit as it is estimated that 80
per cent of the funds appropriated
goes to labor"
The convention adopted the fol-
lowing report of the committee on
resolutions %favoring the $215,00O,O0O
appropriation, but insisting that
there should be certain definite pro-
lection with regard to wage stand
ards:
"Your committee while approving
of this additional expenditure of
federal funds for highway and in
cidental construction, cannot over
look the question of wages to labor
which is involved.
Highway construction is largely
carried on through contracts award
ed private contractors who pay the
prevailing wage.
Army Engineers Employ Relief
List Workers
"Some of this construction work
is done under the direction of Army
engineers, and it is understood that
in many instances they secure their
labor from lists of those on relief.
Representatives of International
Unions find that not only r the
idle members of their organization
given no opportunity for employ
ment on highway projects under the
direction of Army engineers, but
that contractors for highway con-
struction find it difficult, if not i'm
possible, to secure cnotracts because
of the lower wages paid to workmen
who are under the direction Of Army
engineers.
Prevailing Wage Urged for ALI Work
"Your committee, while heartily
in favor of additional highway con-
struction, recommends that the
executive council make an investi-
cation of the facts to which your
committee refers, and take such
action thereon as will protect the
standard of wages established by
private road contractors, and assure
idle members of trade union organi-
cations an equal opportunity for
employment at the prevailing wage
on all additional highway construc-
ton provided for in Public Bill No.
584.
"Your committee further recon-
mends that the executive council
examine the Bacon-Davis Act with
the object of discovering whether
this act may not be applied to all
highway construction SC that the
prevailing wage may be made
mandatory"

JOY.
CCC cnrolles, working in the
Harvey National Forest service,
completed the lookouts' new tow
er and living quarters this season,
but the terrace, wall and steps re-
main to be finished next summer.
Supervisor T.. A. Snow deScrib-
ed construction Of the stone tow
er, on top Of an S0-foot cliff, as
a StupendouS undertaking and
one of the largest and most diff
ficult projects ever undertaken
by the CCC.
There are no roads to the top
of the 7,275-foot mountain" he
related, land all materials had to
be trucked to the foot of the peak
and then relayed upward on two
sleds pulled by horses"
TramwayS and mine car were
used to get supplies to the top of
the cliff, while the men climbed
rope ladders. SO dangerous was
the work that nets were spread
below to catch any man who
might have fallen from the scat
folding. There were no accidents.
Harvey Peaks first lookout was
built in 1911. A larger wooden
lookout replaced the original
structure in 1919.
Living in the lookout's modern
and up-to-date quarters are Mr..
and Mrs. Howard Culver, newly
weds. Culver has been stationed
on the lookout three years.

being affected by her beauty and
her lure.
81 guess I'll get out here" he
said, reaching for the door han
die.
Don't. I'll drive you to the
pier"
She should have realized that it
was better to let him go here. But
she had never been one to foresee
the sharp eyes, the delighted
gasps, of other people. Gossip al
ways caught her unaware.
So when they stopped at the
pier, and Dwight got out, she did
not notice anyone she knew. Yet
the moment she reached home,
her mother said to her, Judy,
I've just had phone call from
Mrs. Lane. She says someone on
the station saw Dwight getting
out of your car few minutes
ago. She says"
81 suppose people are talking
already" judy snapped. Cant |
even drop him off at the pier
without people leaping to the con-
clusion that he was making love
to me?"
"Was he making love to you?"
her mother asked, in a quiet
voice.

CHAPTER XXVI
The moment the words left her
lips, Judy Alcott lost the triumph
that had inspired them. She felt
cold, and Dwight's stunned face
was not the victory she had
thought it would be. 1t was like
flame that had dwindled quick
ly to ashes.
He said, Pm sorry, Judy. Sor-
ry | said those things. OF course
| couldn't expect a girl like you
to sit around and wait while /

reaching for her, pulling her into
his aims. 81 love you," he said
over and over. "Now that | can't
have you, it's too cruel to bear. |
want you. | need YOU"
She should have pushed him
away. But she had hungered for
his arms so long. To be close
against his heart, to feel the rise
and fall if his breathing, to have
his pleading in her ears like this,
was so sharply sweet, that for a
moment she remained quiescent,
still. But then she put her hands
against his chest and stirred.
Don't, Dwight. It's no use"
81 =
Why must she deny the fire in
her own blood? Why must she
torture herself and him? Was it
pride, exacting its toll? Pride that
must be satisfied, that wouldn't
let her yield to him, that would
mt admit those sobs and those
tears he had caused her?
Without her own volition, words
were tumbling forth. "Iou were
always ambitious, Dwight. You
