RAILROAD NEWS

In one Of these judicial decisions
by this government tribunal it is
declared that the Pennsylvania Rail
road System, "at enormous expense
to its stockholders" has carried on
a campaign Of propaganda, Tin which
the issues involved in this contro-
versy have been misstated and the
action and position of the Railroad
Labor Board grossly misrepresented."
This decision says. "The open at
tacks of the carrier on the Labor
Board and on the law which created
it," and again, "If the carrier re-
fuses, it is an attack not so much
on this Board as on Congress. 1t
is nothing more or less than a de-
nial and reputation of the sovereign
will Of the United States as eX-
pressed by Congress"
These decisions repudiate the con-
duct Of the railroads involved in a
number of important methods of
procedure and set precedents of far
reaching importance in establishing
the relations between railroad en-
ployees and the carriers.

the American people will eventually

tation system of America, these de-
cisions are herein given in full with

THEY MUST NOT DIE

Deaf to the voices of fair-minded
people in his own state and in the
rest of the country, Judge Webster
Thayer, whose attitude in court is
said to have been a strong factor
in forcing the most unsubstantiated
verdict since the Mooney case, will
on November first sentence Nicola
Sacco and Bartholomeo Vanzetti to
die in the electric chair.
With Mooney and Billings still
jailed, with Gene Debs a prisoner,
with the murderers of Henry Pfab
Sid Hatfield and other friends of la
boz enjoying comparative immunity,
with the leaders of the West Vir-
gina miners indicted for murder as
result of a civil war precipitated
by Baldwin-Felts thugs, an appeal
to "justice," "fair play" and the rest
of the distractions sounds almost
luuicrous.
Yet there are psychological mo-
ments when even a pacific demon
stration of working class power and
solidarity is worth while. The mas
ters see in it the potential destroy
er of their special privileges. 1t
foreshadows the doom that is in
evitably creeping upon them.
Such moment is now at hand.
The sentencing of Sacco and Van
zetti must not be allowed to pass
without an impressive protest on
the part of American labor. The
defense group in Boston has set Oc-
tober 20, 80 and 31-in other words,
the three days proceeding the pro-
nouncement of sentence-as the per
iod for vigorous expression of 10y
atty to the two condemned workers.
Men and women in no way SYM
pathetic toward the ideas of the
labor agitators have openly de-
nounced the trial and it's consum-
nation as a gross miscarriage of
justice. Dare we for whom Sacco
and Vanzetti are about to sacrifice
their lives stand aside?
The call of the Committee should
be needed. Take up the question in
your organization Immediately. Ar
range mass meetings for the three
nights set by the Committee. Send
vigorous resolutions to the Massa-
chusetts press, to the judge. Let
New England know that you are be-
hind the imperiled workers.
Sacco and Vanzetti must not die!

The Open Shop
in Panama

Secretary of War Weeks, follow
ing the recommendation of a spec
cial committee, will inaugurate cer-
tain reforms" in the Panama can
al administration. Among the most
important changes will be an order
to the Governor of the zone not to
deal with labor unions. The open
shop of the National Association of
Manufacturers becomes state
dogma of the war department. 1t
is evident from the report that the
cheaper native labor of Panama will
be gradually introduced. Speeding
up" the workers is a part of the
program, as 1000 workers have al
ready been discharged. Many of
the innovations which had made
canal employment unique, such as
free housing, hospital service. etc.,
are to be discontinued.
The Panama canal enterprise had
been one of the best experiments in
state capitalism. There were GER
tain reasons why this enterprise
could not be the sweatshop that
postmaster generals have made of
the postoffice. The tropical climate,
the hazardous work, the prevalence
Of tropical diseases, the isolation of
workers from their families and
friends, made it absolutely essential
that everything possible should be
done to make the life Of the work.
ers contented and enjoyable. The
result was that the sanitary accom-
modations, food, entertainment, hos
pital service, hours and wages, re-
creation, library facilities and many
other things provided by the govern
ment were satisfactory. 1t was es-
sential that all this should be done
if the skilled workers were to be
retained. The unions were recog-
nized and dealt with in settling any
grievances that might arise.
Now all this is to be changed.
The canal is completed and it's
operation is a matter of routine.
The time has come to "deflate" la
Dor and the Panama workers are to
be given a dose of the normal state
capitalism that is always in store
for them. The workers are to be
displaced by the cheaper labor of
Panama. Not because of any af-
fection for the native labor. If
American labor was the cheapest,
the American workers would be
used to displace native labor. 1t is
all a matter of which supply of la
Dor can be induced to work the
longest hours for the smallest
wages.
The War Department will have
no relations with the unions of the
workers. Will it deal with the un-
ions of capital? 1t certainly will,
and deal with them officially. There
will be no ukase issued against the
big unions of capitalistic contrac-
tors, corporations and the like. The
organized workers have done the
hazardous and disagreeable work of
many years and now they are to be
kicked in the face for their pains.
Mr.. Weeks could have asked the
National Association of Manufac-
turers to suggest reforms" and
what he proposes for the Panama
Canal zone does not differ from the
program he would have received
from that organization. Are the
manufacturers powerful at Wash
ington? They are. Have the work
ers any voice there? They have
not. Is there such thing as class
rule in this glorious country? We
leave the answer to you.-New York

Boston, October 15.-Death SEN
tence will be pronounced by Judge
Webster Thayer on November l on
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti, the workingmen against whom
an incredible verdict of guilty was
returned in defiance of the testi-
mony. Acting upon the suggestion
of many labor and civic organiza-
tions, the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense
Committee has issued a call for
Simultaneous protests in all parts of
the world during the three days pre-
ceding November l.
Labor organizations are urged by
the Committee to arrange mass gath
erings on those days. The Commit
tee also suggests that resolutions
demanding fair play for the two
condemned men should be timed if
possible to reach Gov. Claiming H.
Cox of Massachusetts. and Judge
Webster Thayer, Worcester, Mass,
before the end of October. Litera-
ture on the case may be had upon
application to the defense group at
its new address, Box 81, Hanover
st. Station, Boston.
Vanzetti, who since the beginning
of the trial in May was in the Ded-
ham, Mass. jail, where he was to-
gether with Sacco during the recrea-
tion hour every day, has now been
transferred to the prison at Charles
town upon the motion of the prose
cutting attorney, Frederick Katzman.
While the action of the prosecutor
is within the law, friends of the
condemned men feel that the separa-
tion of the two prisoners denies them
the one bright hour in the deadly
routine of prison life.

tional Council of the Italian Socialist

State College Has
Helen Keller Film
Girl Wonder, Blind-Deaf- Dumb, Tells
Life Story in Movies for
School Children

Washington State College, Pull
man, Oct. 10.-Helen Keller, known
as "The Miracle Woman" blind
deaf and dumb in childhood, who
learned to speak, to read with her
fingers, went through college with
honors, has put the story into a
wonderful 9-reel motion picture film
which is now ready for Washington
State school children to see.
The general extension division of
the State College has secured exclu
sive state rights until anuary l for
this film, entitled "Deliverance" and
will offer it to schools, clubs and
other organizations. The film gives
dramatic contrast of the story of
Helen Keller with that of her child
hood playmate, Nadia, daughter of
an immigrant, jealous of Helen and
embittered by the tragic death of
her father. Both have their love
story and find happiness.
