Commenting upon the action of Goveraor Stephens last night, Louis F. Post, assistant secrctary of labor, said. “It seems to me that the govern- ment's action does not really help the matter. ‘Whether or not guilty, Mooney was guilty manifestly he did not have a fair trial. He was tried and cted upon vidence that® was confessedly perjured. There wero other indictments involved in the same episode. upon which Mooney was brought to trial. He could have indict- upon all of them. Yet he upon the one particular in- | dictment and convicted upon H\n,’ same set of facts, without perjured | testimony, and was acquitted. Com- | mutation of Mooney’s sentence to life | imprisonment is oaly a compromise, and there is no justification for that Bither Mooney should pay the full penalty or he should be set free.” Frank Morrison, secretary of thoe American Federation of Labor, said: “We had hoped that action would be taken for a new trial.” ments ar was tried Ex-Pres.
