Liberals Make Vigor
ous Appeal to Free
113 War Prisoners
Washington.—In the*face of appar
ent and outspoken opposition, lawyers
and representatives of various liberal
organizations pleaded with the House
judiciary committee todav to report a
resolution asking the President to give
“careful consideration’’ to the pro
priety of granting immediate amnesty
to 113 political prisoners, serving long
terms for violation of the espionage act.
Committeemen indicated that the
resolution never would pass, insisting
that Congress had no right to direct
the President in such matters, espe
cially because of the lack of opportun
ity to review the cases.
Gilbert E. Roe, an attorney of New
York, who advocated the general prin
ciple of amnesty, said that he saw no
impropriety in requesting the Presi
dent, the Attorney General and the
Secretary of War to look into the ap
peals because “the resolution seems as
harmless as the four-power treaty.”
Speaking for the American Federa
tion of Labor, Edgar Wallace declared
that war laws were necessary, that they
should have been enforced, but now in
peace times there was no good reason
for keeping war-time offenders in jail.
There were many clashes between
members of the committee and wit
nesses. Representative Yates, repub
lican, Illinois, charged that Represent
a tive LondoD, socialist, New York, au
thor of the resolution, who declared he
would free men convfcted of violence if
they did so because of a deep religious
feeling, was bimself advocating vio
lence, which London was quick to deny.
Another verbal clash centered around
Harry Weinberg, a New York lawyer,
one time counsel for Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll. the draft dodger, who added
that he had “nothing whatever to do
with Bergdoll’s escape.” In a tilt with
Representative Reavis, republican,
Weinberg said he would express his
“opinion on political and economic
questions at any time and in any place,
despite the supreme court of the United
States.”
Referring to the release of some of
fenders, Weinberg charged that one
obtained his liberty through the inter
cession of the Italian ambassador, and
some of his comment drew from mem
bers the reminder that they would not
ait and hear the President and the At
torney General criticised. This was
after the lawyer had stated that one of
the men in whose behalf he had ap
pealed did not get out, because he did

noi happen to be a. ‘"trust magnate.”
Weinberg denied any desire to criti
cize the President. Time was called
on him while he was still trying to
speak.
Miss Caroline Lowe, of .Kansas City, 1
counsel for a number of cl. W. W. mem- |
hers tried at Wichita, charged that i
men arrested in the “famousOklahoma
case” were oil workers and that me 1
animus back of their arrest "was the
determination on the part of oil oper
ators to crush any attempt on the part
of the workers to organize.”
Frequent references were made to
the pardon of iCugene V. Debs, and on
this point some of the witnesses ex
pressed conflicting views. Many agreed,
however, that President Harding’s list
of Christmas pardons contained Lite
names of persons who should have
served their terms, which, they insist-i
ed, were for offenses more serious than [
those charged against "the political
prisoners.” 11 was contended that no
overt acts were committed b.y the lat
ter.
