One was sponsored by the Brotherhood of Operative Potters, and the other by the International Moulders Union. EL PASO, Texas, Nov. 18—The International Molders' Union introduced a resolution at the A.F. of L. convention here today petitioning Gov. Richardson, of California, to grant an unconditional pardon to Thos J. Moonby. The resolution follows: Whereas time, the great healer of wounds and impartial explorer of human events, has, in the great legal tragedy known as the Mooney case, heaped circumstance on circumstance, fact on fact, confession on confession, and accumulated irrefutable evidence, not available during the trial, leading to the almost universal, unprejudiced opinion that Thomas J. Mooney is innocent of the crime for which he is immured at San Quentin state prison, and. Whereas, the trial judge and appellate judges, the members of the jury, with but one exception, and all the material witnesses in the case, also, with but one exception, are convinced that they contributed to the commission of irreparable error in the conviction of an innocent man, and now regret such action and would undo the wrong, if it were within their power; and. Whereas, the supreme court of California has settled the law of the state, declaring the legal impossibility of granting a new trial and advising and recommending to the defendant his only recourse under the constitution and laws of the state are an application for a pardon at the hands of the governor of the state; therefore be it resolved by the American Federation of Labor in its Forty-fourth annual convention assembled, that we believe in the innocence of Thos J. Mooney of the crime charged against him, and having faith in the people of California and their government in their fairness and love of justice, we do hereby most sincerely and earnestly petition the Hon. Friend W. Richardson, governor of the state of California, to grant an unconditional pardon to Thos J. Moonby. SIX INJURED, TWO DEAD IN FIRE ATLANTIC CITY. N.

Since Jan. 1, the report said, the railroads have recorded the heaviest loadings of commodities in box cars of any similar period on record. All previous grain-loading records were broken on practically all western lines as also were the receipts at terminal markets. There has been no accumulation of traffic or congestion during 1924 chargeable to railroad disability and no general orders requiring movement of cars in volume from one section of the country to another. The report paid a tribute to successful activities of the various shippers' regional advisory boards, which have been organized in all parts of the country and made up of a membership representing all phases of agricultural production. It also mentions as an important contributing factor the additions to railroad plants and equipment and the speeding up of freight movements due to greater efficiency in operation. Here is a list of the seven high records in freight transportation hung up by the railroads this year: 1—Greatest number of cars for any one week in history were loaded with revenue freight the week of Oct. 25; total 1,112,345 cars. 2—The railroads for the week of Oct. 25 loaded 72,474 cars with grain products, the highest on record. 3—Loading of merchandise and less than carload lot freight totaled 259,617 cars the week of Oct. 11, the highest on record. 4—Miscellaneous freight loads recorded in the week of Oct. 25 with a total of 4422,890 cars. 5—On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the railroads moved 1,030,211 freight cars loaded and empty, the largest in history of transportation. 6—High record for surplus freight cars and serviceable locomotives was made this year when loading of revenue freight was in excess of one million cars a week. 7—Loading of $1,700,789 cars with all commodities between Jan. 1 and Oct. 25 this year exceeds $363,182, or 1.1 per cent GREETING TO ANAHI CLUB!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—Efforts to prevent the destruction of the battleship Washington, one of the vessels condemned under the naval limitation treaty, failed again this afternoon when D. of C. court of appeals denied a petition for an injunction to restrain the navy department from using the ship as a target for naval gunners. Arguments were completed shortly after 3 o'clock and the court retired to prepare its decision. One of the questions raised by the court during the argument was whether or not Wm. B. Shearer, the New York naval expert, who is protesting against the destruction of the battleship, had any equity in the court. The petition for an injunction was carried before the court of appeals by Attorneys for Shearer who alleged that the government would lose a large sum of money—about $35,000,000—thru the destruction of the battleship, which is now enroute to Virginia capes to be sunk. Altho denying the injunction, the court did not act on an appeal by Shearer from a previous adverse decision in the D. of C. supreme court. The appealed case will not come up until after Dec. 1, and it is expected that by that time the battleship will have been sunk. The precedent for the dismissal of Shearer petition was a decision by the U. S. Supreme court in which the ruling was made that a single tax payer may not sue an official of the government to stop the carrying out of a federal function unless, in alleging damage, he is able to show to what extent he will be personally damaged. In the FORWARD Traders Crowd Buying Orders Into Market and Prices Mount NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—All other developments in the stock market today were overshadowed by the violent forward movement of the railroad stocks in response to heavy buying demand as has been seen since the present movement began on the day after election. Traders crowded their buying orders into the market and prices began to climb as the growing scarcity of stocks became more and more emphasized. Recent developments in the transportation industry have been of a caliber to attract a large investment and speculative follow ing. Seven transportation records were shattered this year, according to the report of the car service bureau of the American Railway Ass'n today. Meetings are being held in New York and elsewhere designed to link up the railroad lines into a comprehensive system which will yield profit to the stockholders as well as serve the needs of a growing national industry. So many of the railroads have "made good" the expectations of speculators in being placed on the dividend basis this year that it was not difficult for the speculative district to believe that Wabash, Katy, Missouri Pacific, Frisco, common, and perhaps one or two others will be in the dividend column before many months have elapsed. A few others, like Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Atchison, New York Central and Sou Pacific, are earning well beyond dividend requirements and larger disbursements to stockholders are expected in time. Buying extended to every section of the railroad list today and gains of two to three points were registered in Union Pacific, Great Northern, pfd., Northern Pacific, Wabash, common and pfd., B. & O. and many others. Prices in a number of these stocks today were the highest in 10 or 12 years. Forward movements in industrial and specialty stocks continued. Consolidated Gas led the rally in public utilities and Radio Corp., gained four points; Mack Truck and the Maxwell Motor stocks pushed forward to new high levels; Studebaker was strong and active; U. S. Steel hung up a new high record at 116% on fairly heavy buying; more than score of the popular industrial and equipment stocks, the shipping, sugar, copper, tobacco and textile shares sold at or near the high of the movement. The oil stocks were thrown over- that a majority of the club membership would attend the "Bartlett dinner" tonight.

FINAL ARGUMENTS OVER OIL LEASES LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18.—With the final arguments of counsel for both the defense and the government scheduled to end today, the Edward L.

The appealed case will not come up until after Dec. 1, and it is expected that by time the battleship will have been sunk. The precedent for the dismissal of the Shearer petition was a decision by the U. S. Supreme court in which the ruling was made that a single tax payer may not sue an official of the government to stop the carrying out of a federal function unless, in alleging damage, he is able to show to what extent he will be personally damaged. In the case used as a precedent, Secy. of the Treasury Mellon had been the defendant. In the battleship case the defendant was Secy. of the Navy Wilbur, who ordered the destruction of the battleship in accordance with the terms of the naval treaty. The court of appeals did not rule directly on the question of Shearer's equity, but the dismissal of his petition for an injunction was interpreted as an expression in the courts opinion that he had no right to bring action here. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—While the great gray hulk of the U.S. Washington was being towed slowly to her anchorage off the Virginia coast today, there to await the practice gunnery that will send her to the bottom of the Atlantic, Wilton J. Lambert, Washington attorney, made another effort to save the big battleship. Flanked with aides and lawbooks, Lambert went into the court of appeals of the District of Columbia this morning and asked for a temporary injunction against Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, that will prevent him from carrying out the plan to sink the Washington. It was virtually the same plea that Lambert made last week before Justice Hitz in district supreme court. Justice Hitz dismissed the case. Lambert's move today was in the nature of an appeal from Hitz' decision. Hitz said the court was without power to intervene. The lawyer contends that the courts have such power. It is the government's contention that the scrapping of the Washington, on which $25,000,000 have already been spent, is decreed by the arms conference treaties (Continued on Page Two) POLITICIAN SLAIN LEONARDTOWN, Md., Nov. 18.
