Charlotte—Gastonia—Shelby—Rock Hill False Testimony Is Charged By Mooney’s Attorneys In Frisco SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—Attor neys for Thornes J. Mooney at the habeas corpus hearing of the convict ed 1916 Preparedness Day parade bomber attempted to prove the tes timony of the late Frank C. Oxman, Oregon cattleman, a prosecution wit ness was false. Oxman in an affidavit at Kansas City in 1916, several weeks after the San Francisco parade was bombed, stated he saw Mooney and Warren K. Billings in a jitney bus on Market street shortly before the bomb explod ed. With them, he said, were two other men and a woman of “pro nounced features.” The affidavit declared Billings took a suitcase from the car and placed it beside a building on Stuart street, near Market, after which he and Mooney got back in the car “talking in a foreign language.” The Mooney prosecution contended the explosive which killed 10 persons and injured 40 was taken to the scene in a suitcase.

Operators are asking a wage scale that would run 40 cents under wages paid in the adjoining Virginia and Harlan and Haaard, Ky., districts, claiming it costs more to mine coal in this district because seams are thin ner and harder to get to. The union is demanding the same wage scale—$5.10 a day—for all four districts, the contract to run until March 31, 1987. This was the con tract agreed to in Washington recent ly, ending the bituminous coal strike in most sections. The Union Label is the insignia of the great army of American Labor.
