Against
Judicial Attacks

The National Executive Comm ttee
of the Socialist Party, has sent out
the following appeal:
National Headquarters, Socialist Party
,r Chicago, June l.. 1912.
To the Workers Of America:
Joseph ]. Ettor and Arturo Giovan-
it'll are in jail in Lawrence, Mass,
charged with the murder of Anna La
Pizza, working girl who took part
in the recent strike of the textile
workers in Lawrence. The arrest and
Imprisonment of these two working
men is one of the most lawless and
infamous. acts ever committed by the
ruling class of this country. At the
time of the brutal murder of Anna La
Pizza, Ettor and Giovanitti were lead
ling the Lawrence strike. They were
straining every nerve to preserve and
not to destroy the lives of the strikers
1t is notorious fact that Anna La
Pizza was wantonly shot to death by
one of the police officers, and that
Ettor and GioYanitti were miles away
from the scene of murder. They were
arrested and imprisoned for the sole
purpose of weakening the position of
the strikers and forcing their surren-
der to the brutal mill owners of Law
renee. 1t is not charged that Ettor
and Giovanitti were directly concern
J ed with the killing of Anna La Pizza
or that they instigated or aided in
the dastardly deed. The theory upon
which the indictment is based is that
| the strike leaders made inflahmatOry
speeches which led to violent CON
flict resulting in the death of the I'M
fortunate mill girl. If this theory is
allowed to stand and to acquire the
force of legal precedent, it will. be
the heaviest blow dealt by the courts
of this country to the rights and liber-
ties of the citizens. H'
Every labor union official leading a
strike, and every Socialist arraigning
capitalist misrule in a public Speech
may be held guilty Of capital offense
| if the police or other hired thugs of
the employers should deliberately in
cite riot and cause murder in connec-
ton with any labor struggle.
The attempted outrage must be frus-
trated by the Socialists and organic
ed workers of. America. Public senti-
ment must be thoroughly aroused.
The case of Ettor and Giovanitti must
be fought to finish. -.
The Socialist Party hereby calls up
on all locals of the country to arrange
demonstrations and public protest
meetings against this latest and most
sinister judicial attack upon freedom
of speech and labor's rights, and to
raise funds for the defense of Ettor
and Giovanitti.
Fraternally yours,
