C. Nov. 12. Enr-to-the-ground croups here have been tipped to look up that post e e c t Ion radio talk made by Commerce Secre tary Roper on the Washington Star radio forum last Thursday. Few noticed It at the time, but there are three little sentences tucked unosten tatiously down on page three, which are sup oosed to form the biggest trial balloon floated around these parts since the maiden voyage or the Macon. Coupled with certain other Inside development, they afford a rather broad hint that the new dealers are feeling out their way toward a labor policy which may stop or hinder de structive strikes. One Incipient idea Is supposed to be the creation of a formidable na tlonal labor relations board or some such agency to act In threatening labor disputes before the strikes are called. Instead of after. It might be planned out along the lines of the railroad mediation board. Another suggestion Is the Incorporation ot unions, but no one Is seriously con iderlng that. , REVIEW BOMBING TRIAL California Ordered to Show .Cause Why Hearing Should Not Be Granted Perjury Claim Is Made fa ul Mallon SAN QITENTTN, Cal., Nov. 12. (AP) Tom Mooney today received the In formation the United States supreme court had taken action on his peti tion for a. habeas corpus writ with the smiling comment: "Good news!" He was peeling potatoes for the prison mess when Warden James B. Holohan, the formal respondent in the court rule, delivered the telegram, aigned by Attorney John P. Plnnerty in Washington. Seized As Spy if Ho S- 3 EOF ARMISTICE DAY Rival French Political Fac tions Stage Street Fights in Many Sections Cabi net Fall Fans Hatred What Mr. Roper said was: "Citizens cannot properly demand rights, unless they are willing to assume the responsibilities Inherent In those rights. To Illustrate, If we wish to exercise the right of not working, that Is; to strike, this right should be safeguarded: but In so doing we should defend the right not to strike, that is. the right to work without molestation ... It is mandatory upon both employers and employes to live up to their part of the agreements determined upon; each must be Just as responsible to the public and must be held to Just as strict accountability as the other." Mr. Roper might as well have said straight out that the new dealers had testrlcted the employers and also the formers for their own good and the public good, and now It is time to restrict the labor .agitators. At least that Is the interpreta tlon logically placed on Roper's re marks by the laborltes. And they know very well a cabinet officer oi Mr. Roper's standing does not talk so firmly about such a dangerous subject unless he speaks with au thorlty. ' The hint caused excitement back atrge In labor ranks. The American Federation of Labor undoubtedly will contest any such move and call It Inaccurately "fascism." What the ad ministration ultimately decides to do will probably be determined by the general public reaction to the food for thought cast upon the ether waves by Mr. Roper. Prom other sources, the labor boys have heard that agitation will be started outside the administration shortly for a national labor board with teeth in it. The agitation will not come directly from the manu facturers, but from certain other or ganizations. Everyone agrees strikes are destruc tive, both to labor and capital. Nearly all recent ones have caused deaths, suffering and heavy losses and ' ;w gains for either side. The ' public suffers from disrupted sip plies and increased prices. It would be fascism If the govern ment denied labor the right to strike. but no one has such an idea even vaguely In mind What many sincere i authorities want to do is to work ' out satisfactory machinery so that lnhor disputes will b adjusted be fore the killings start. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. ( AP) The supreme court today ordered California to $how, within 40 days, why a review should not be granted Thomas J. Mooney. in his 18-year campaign to escape serving the re mainder of his life sentence for com plicity In the 1918 San Francisco preparedness day parade bombing. Through his attorneys, the 51-year-old San Quentln penitentiary convict asked that he be brought to Wash ington in an effort to convince the court at a hearing that he was con victed on perjured evidence follow ing the death of 10 persons and ine Injury of 44 In the bombing. He declared the state admitted me evidence was perjured, but was pow erless under Its statutes to set aside the verdict If there had been no error of law in the trial. Mooney originally was sentenced to death, but it was commuted to lire imprisonment, following appeals from President W o o d r o w Wilson and others. Once before; in 1918 the supreme court refused to interfere in the Mooney case. It declined to pass on the refusal of California courts to grant him a new trial. Mooney had sought successfully to obtain a writ of habeas corpus from the lower federal courts before he appealed to the high court. Miss Helen Lyster (above) of New Rochelle, N.
