DESCRIPTION:The Lessons of the Preparedness Day Bombing for Today:\n Repression, 
 Frame-up, Labor and Political Prisoners\nBy Steven C. Levi\n One hundred 
 years ago on this date, a terror bombing took place in San Francisco on 
 Market St. that led to the loss of 10 people with many injured. It was 
 called Preparedness Day and was a march to get ready for world war. At the 
 same time there was a growing and militant labor and anti-war movement in 
 San Francisco and the entire country.\n\n This bombing led to a massive 
 attack on unions, labor and radical activists against the growing war 
 campaign. Two labor activists and radicals Tom Mooney and Warren Billing 
 were arrested and charged with planning the bombing. They were convicted 
 and nearly went to their deaths. The labor movement took up their case and 
 declared that this was a political frame-up. After decades of defense work 
 they were finally released.\n\n Writer Steven C. Levi who has written about 
 San Francisco’s tumultuous history in COMMITTEE OF VIGILANCE: The San 
 Francisco Chamber of Commerce Law and Order Committee, 1916-1919, will 
 present the story of what happened on July 22, 1916 and how it affected the 
 lives and people of San Francisco and the country.\n This forum is also 
 co-sponsored by Institute For Historical Study.\n"Local issues shape
