AS WE SEE IT
BY I. }. o'FLAHEATY.

TIE business office Of the DAILY
/ WORKER has received a check
amounting to S11.S2 from the English
American section of the Political Emf
grants Club in Moscow for the Sacco-
VanzettI defense fund. This news
should make. strong pull on the purse
strings Of the readers of the DAILY
WORKER. And it should inspire the
American workers to renew their
Efforts to save our imprisoned COM
vsdes from the electric chair and one
Of the best ways to do this is to raise
funds for legal defense.
TIE millions Of the employing class
/ of the United States are behind
the state Of Massachusetts in the
effort to send Sacco and Vanzetti to
the death chair 1t is significant of
the growing spirit of solidarity among
the workers of the world that our
comrades in other lands should volun-
tarily contribute their share to thwart
the aims of the assassins of labor in
the United States The fight to save
Saeco and Yanzctti is as pressing a
duty as ever confronted the American
working class. No time should be
lost. Money is badly needed. 1t
should be remembered that only last
week the workers Of Moscow sent one
thousand dollars to the sacco.vanzetti
defense committee Russia is indeed
the land Of the free workers.
