A relatively early fundraising appeal for the defense of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings, two labor leaders framed for the San Francisco Preparedness Day bombing of 1916. By the mid-1930s, Mooney would become a cause celebre for the American left, and a fundraising cash cow for the CPUSA. Among the listed members of the Defense Committee are Clarence Darrow, Sinclair Lewis, and H.L. Mencken.
