Title	Mooney, Thomas J. 1939-07-21
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs on Tom Mooney Molders Defense Committee, 7/21/1939. Writes that he is back in the Tom Mooney Molders Defense Committee headquarters after several weeks of campaigning for the release of Warren Billings. Says that he just finished reading two letters from Theodore Debs that had not yet been answered. Remarks that the letters touched him to the depths of his soul. Tells Theodore Debs that Rena Mooney is one of the most pathetic figures in the world, that is, since she let herself be used by the ruling class's newspaper reporters. Mentions that CLICK and LOOK have both published a series of articles that make him out to be a scoundrel for deserting his wife. Informs Theodore Debs that Rena Mooney has not been connected with the work of the Tom Mooney Molders Defense Committee for the past 16 years. Writes that he is being attacked for working to free Warren Billings and to unite the fractured labor movement. Says that he sees himself as going through the same things as Eugene V. Debs went through after the Pullman Strike of 1894. Says that the Tom Mooney Molders Defense Committee is in debt for $20,000. Remarks that the American labor movement is in need of leadership. Mentions that he thought that Eugene V. Debs should have continued to work with the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen instead of creating the American Railway Union because "greater results would have accrued therefrom than did from the course pursued." Assures Theodore Debs that any movement that aims at the betterment of the working classes needs to be domiated by the workers. Mentions that the conservative labor leaders of America are doing everything in their power to stop his work.
