MOONEY PLEA SENT TO ALL CONGRESSMEN Pardon Committee Asks Aid to Secure Release of Labor Leaders. BV RUTH FINNEY Time* >t*ff CorreDondent WASHINGTON, June 22.—While members of congress are free for the time of official worries, the national Mooney-Billings committee will attempt to interest them in a roncerteri movement to secure release of Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings from the California penitentiaries. where they have been for thirteen years. Letters have been sent to each member of congress signed by Lenuei F. Parton, vice-chairman of the Mooney-Billings committee, setting lorth facts of the cases and asking for some public expresssion on them. Bound to Hurt Law The letters say: “We invite your Interest because we feel that, nothing destroys public confidence in our judicial system more surely than the belief that man can be convicted on framed-up evidence and then be denied redress because they are ‘labor agitators.’ Such a belief is bound to create disrespect for law. It strikes at the very foundations of government. “In their belief that any such challenge to American processes of justice will interest you, we venture to suggest your writing the Governor or making your view publicly known either by such means as you prefer or by writing to this committee.” Three Senators Support Move Three United States senators have already made public a plea for pardon of Mooney and Billings. The same day the letters were received, Senator Gerald P. Nye in a speech in the senate called on President Herbert Hoover to use his influence in behalf of pardons for Mooney and Billings, as part of his law enforcement program. Senator Burton K. Wheeler added his belief in the innocence of the two men. Both senators put into the record a mass of testimony and other evidence in the two trials. Senator Thomas Schall had already spoken in Mooney's behalf.

TALKIES DON'T NEED BEAUTIES, . STATESACTOR Brains Are More Important Than Lovely Features, - Says Edwards, BY DAN THOMAS MSA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD. Cal.. June 22. Stay away from Hollywood, you beauty contest winners—there isn’t any place here for you now\ That is the advice of Gus Edwards. who spent thirty years in building himself up as one of the most famous stage stars in America. Edwards, who was born in Brooklyn, N. Y.. and educated in night school there, claims to have played in every city of more than 1.000 population in the United States during his thirty years on the stage. But for the past ten months he has been concentrating in the cinema industry. “Within the next two years speaking films will have revolutionized the entire personnel of the motion picture industry,” Edwards declares. “There no longer is any place for the beautiful bathing contest winner who used to be received with open arms. In the old days beauty made a successful screen actress. But today a girl needs more than beauty. She must have personality and brains. “What about the voice? Well, that is a factor which must be considered, of course. But the most important thing is for ~he actor to have enough brains to know what he is talking about. If he has, he

That device can't tell him what is wrong with his voice or what it wants. But any actor with brains, after hearing his voice reproduced a few times, can tell what is wrong with it and how to adjust it to the requirements of the microphone.” Neither the present day screen player nor stage player is of the type which eventually will be evolved, according to Edwards. The final word in film players of tomorrow’ will be in a sense a combination of ; the two, but will be entirely different from either. I “There is a vast difference from I acting behind the footlights and in j front of movie cameras,” remarked | Edwards. “When you are playing on the stage, you can get down close to the audience and actually sell yourself right over the footlights. But on the screen you can't do that. There isn’t that personal contact. | And. having no chance to sell yourself. you must be good to make the audience accept you.” If Australia could be placed in the Atlantic ocean, it would fill up all the space between the United States and Great Britain.

LABOR LEAGUE ORGANIZES FOR CITYJELECTION Manager Body to Be Asked to Avoid Men ’Unfavorable' to Workers. Indianapolis trade unionists who now are organized as the Workers’ Nonpartisan Political Action League, today began a drive to obtain more than 30.000 members to vote in the city commission election this fall. Representatives of union groups met Friday night at 531 East Market street and made plans to obtain members, both in and out of organized labor groups, and to divide the city into sections with working committees in each of them to “get out the vote.” A basic membership committee, which will be increased with a few weeks, was named by W. F. Wilson, chairman. Members of the group are: Ora Gill, chamman; Courtney Hammond, Thomas Hefling. George Strange and Adolph Fritz, state federation labor secretary. A meeting of the membership and executive committees is scheduled for next Friday night. Speakers pointed out they will not ask that labor men be named candidates as commissioners, but. that “men not unfavorable to labor be given consideration.” A committee to call on Claude H. Anddrson. secretary of the City Manager League, and express the workers’ body purpose, is to be named. “It is important that labor take

a nonpartisan stand in the city manager campaign,” Fritz said. "As I size up the city manager movement, at this time, it is another one of those things to gain power. It does not seem to me that the laboring man will get much of a chance unless we present our caftse to the people and the city manager organization.” Fritz named three men who have been identified with the manager movement who “ought to be defeated by labor." "The city manager movement is as much political in its own way as any other organization that has sought to put over its policies In Indianapolis from time to time,” Wilson declared. “We do not want any preference. All we want Is a fair and square deal.” LABELS BONES OLD Curator Terms NoMesville Find as Part of Mastodon.
