WASHINGTON, D. 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. ,

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

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.
