DESCRIPTION:The Lessons of the Preparedness Day Bombing for Today\n Repression, 
 Frame-up, Labor and Political Prisoners\nOne hundred years ago, the trade 
 unionist and labor activists Tom Mooney and Warren Billings were framed for 
 a bombing that they did not do. After the bombing in San Francisco, unions 
 were raided and the anti-labor business lobby went on a witch-hunt against 
 organized labor, using this incident as a pretext. \n Labor did mobilize to 
 free Mooney and Billings. Hundreds of mass meetings were held and protests 
 were organized. Major unions including the Machinists’ Lodge, the Iron 
 Molders’ Association and United Steelworkers chose to strike, halting a 
 large sector of the economy to demand their freedom. Two hundred and twenty 
 big unions outside of industrial centers also joined in Mooney’s cause.\n 
 This forum will look at the use of so-called “terror” incidents to 
 create a new anti-labor political environment. The use of “terrorism” 
 as a political vehicle is a growing pretext for attack on our democratic 
 and union rights.\n This forum will look at some of the history of such 
 incidents and political frame-ups of trade unionists and political 
 activists.\n It will also look at how labor has helped build a working 
 class political movement to defend political prisoners in the US and around 
 the world. Sponsored by KPFA WorkWeek.\n Endorsed by Labor Committee To
