for Socialism? What else can the
sickly contortions of Meyer London
and the New York assemblymen be
called?
But that is not enough Although
these many disgraceful incidents of
Local reformisms quite definitely in
dict the whole organization, a more
sweeping proof is obtained by back
ward glance at the last Convention.
Advice to Mayors.
After running away from the Die
tatorship of the Proletariat, the Cen
eral and Political strike and Mass ac-
tion, the convention settled comfort
ably down to consider little fatherly
advice concerning municipal admins
trations. Did they say, as a revolu-
tionary party would feel itself obliged
to say, that socialists elected to NUM-
cipal office should use their power
for the spreading of revolutionary
propaganda, and as a means of de-
nouncing and weakening capitalism ?
Nothing like it. The resolution merely
suggested that such local administra-
tions should apply the civil service
to public jobs and that appointments
SHOULD be made with the help OF
the party. A revolutionary departure
indeed!

SHOOT TO QUELL RIOT.

Rochester, N. Y, July 19.--Revol-
yer shots were fired by the police,
automobiles were driven into the
ranks of invading strikers and clubs
were used effectively in quelling a
riot caused here this morning when a
mob of infuriated strikers attempted
to drive a gang Of laborers from a
paving job.
Shovels, stones and other missiles
were hurled back and forth and the
riot was fierce while it lasted.
Today's fight was but one of a
number of outbursts which have oc-
cured here because Of friction between
the police and the strikers, growing
out Of the refusal of the police to
permit mass picketing."
Several other working gangs were
molested today and the police were
kept busy trailing groups of strikers
who walked from job to job enticing
workmen away from their anti-unior
tasks.

Another Traitor.
BY A. REBEL.

On Sunday July 10th 1921 some Of
the Leading" newspapers(?) Of the
country started series of articles
under the signature Of Morris Zucher
who, according to the philadelphia
Inquirer, was one Of the five leaders
Of the Communist Party of America,
who after a five months stay in 80
Wet Russia" returned to this country
"disillusioned" citizen.
Zucher was leader but as events
have shown he was NEVER A CON-
MUNIST, for no man who is once a
REAL Communist never turns back,
Comrade Martens was criticized by
some comrades for not giving Zucher
a passport when he went to the Soviet
Republic. Some comrades are easily
misled, but as Lincoln most truly said
"You can't fool all the people all the
time" So with comrade Martens
he knew an agent-provocateur when
he saw one and no doubt he saved
the Russian government a world Of
trouble by informing Moscow Of
Zucher's arrival in advance. I would
like to say to the truly revolutionary
comrades of America that I think Il
is high time the rank and file Of the
movement and the true leaders too
keep their eyes open for just sucl
skunks as Zucher has proven himself
to be.
Let our watchword be: On to tn,
Revolution and keep your eyes peeled

Necessity of Communist Activity
i'm Conservative Trade Unions.
By A. Rosmer in Bulletin Communist.
Translated for The Toiler by Mary Reed.

Shall Communists work in the heart
of reformist labor organizations, or
shall they form new organizations
under their own management and with
a platform on their principles?
The question did not come up for
action in France until quite recently.
The left elements faced it originally
because, before the war, when the
General Confederation Of Labor was
revolutionary body, certain reform
ist organizations had already with
drawn. Thus the Miners Federation,
where the reformists were in the
majority, stayed outside the General
Confederation of Labor for quite o
while.
It was in the Federation Of Metal
Workers that proposals to split were
first made towards the end Of 1918

argument. Doubtless the dues Of revo-
lutionists were being used to support
the dangerous reforinist activities Of
the Federation, but the problem must
be examined from all sides, and this
was the problem:
How could the Federation be turned
back into revolutionary channels ?
How can it rid itself Of leaders who
have turned renegades? To leave the
Federation would be to abandon the
field to these men, enabling them to
carry out their detestable policy, 1t
would be to abandon the mass Of or
ganized workers, for it was certain
that this would have very limited
effect, and only ALLEVIATE the left ele-
ments from the mass.
The pro-split point Of view was
hotly and persistently defended
especially by anarchist comrades, but
It did not prevail. 1t was vigorously
opposed by the group Of the "Vie

Relief Shipments

The Soviet Russia Medical Relief
Committee announces it has made ar
rangements to ship medicines and re-
lief supplies direct from New York to
Petrograd. In a letter sent out to its

Now that the blockade has been
completely broken, so far as the ship
ping is concerned, it is necessary to
make up for the harm and sufferings
caused to the people Of Soviet Rus
sia during the long years of wars ana

Relief Committee urgently requests
the donation of funds so that these
shipments shall bring substantial
relief to the long tortured people Of

Appeal Sup

SACCO AND vANZETTI APPEAL
BRINGS LOYAL SUPPORT FROM
MANY QUARTERS.
By John Nicholas Beffel
Federated Press Staff Correspondent.

Boston, Mass.-One hundred volun-
teers from many walks Of life have
come forward here to aid in the big
fight now under way to save Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, con-
victed of murder last Thursday at
Dedham, from the electric chair. Tele-
grams pledging support have been re-
ceived from labor organizations in 20
cities.
With fight ahead of the stupen-
dous proportions of the Mooney and
Billings case the defense forces are
confronted by an empty treasury. Two
thousand dollars is needed Immediately
to pay for the tipping of hundreds Of
pages of transcript which the defense
was unable to obtain during the last
half of the trail because of lack Of
funds. This transcript is essential to
the compilation of the voluminous bill
of exceptions which the defense coun-
sci must file by November l.
Fred H. Moore, chief counsel for
the defense, declares that the verdict
was utterly unsupported either by the
law or the evidence Asked how he
accounted for the verdict, he answered.
"How could you expect anything
else? From the very first day the
most vicious atmosphere prevailed in
side and outside the courtroom. The
jury was surrounded by squad Of
officers, the defendants were brought
to the courtroom manacled and also
surrounded by heavy guard. Every
person entering the courtroom was
J searched at the door.

ii 'The defendants were deprived Of

? Testimony introduced by the defense
\ to show that Sacco and Vanzetti were
not the men who murdered Parmenter
and Berardelli vastly outweighed the
testimony produced by the government
, that they were the slayers. This de-
fense testimony was simply rejected
by the jury, and it also cast aside the
testimony Of many substantial wit
y nesses who testified that Sacco was in
. Boston and Vanzetti in Plymouth on
~ April Is.
% "If the district attorney is convinced
that the jury's verdict was warranted
j by the evidence, then it is incumbent
# upon him to begin perjury proceedings
:. Immediately against all those witness
% ses who swore they met Sacco in Bos-
ton and Vanzetti in Plymouth on the
day of the crime.
"That verdict was a travesty on
justice. 1t has two phases of large
c. portent: First, if affirmed by the
n supreme court it means that Sacco
c. and Vanzetti must go to the electric

WORKERS! Leave the American
Socialist Party. 1t is your enemy and
ours" This warning was issued by the
Communist International to the Amer
lean Workers before the last Conven-
tion of the S. P. Some doubt existed
in the minds Of many radicals as to
the exactness Of this quite violent re-
proval. That was before the Conven-
tion. The convention has been held.
The accusation is borne out.
The convention Of the Socialist Par
ty, held in Detroit last June was q
convention of Electromagnetic. Law
yers, realty and cock-roach business

politicians more or less successful in
their calling. There were a few work

a working class organization. But

Finally the great cake of ice slowed

Hop off, quickly" Folly Wisher
warned them, and they hurried across
TO the solid ice.
"Hurrah We are in time for

cried Folly Wisher, pointing across the
water.
There, sailing along on a swiftly
moving cake of ice, was a strange ami

instead of legs it had queer flappers.
Bristly whiskers stuck out from it's

jaws. It's head was bald and ran
straight back from its eyes.

''He is Prof. Tusky Walrus, teacher

Folly Wisher.
Prof. Walrus wadded quickly TO a

his flappers on the ice. Thrum Thrum !
