HOW CAN JUDGE
DENY new TRIAL
TOTWOITALIANS
Judge Hesitates in Sacco-
Vanzetti Case

BOSTON, Mass. June 4.-Sacco-
Vanzetti sympathizers everywhere are
anxiously awaiting the ruling of
Judge Webster Tnayer on the five mo-
tions before him for a new trial in
this famous frame-up case against the
two Italian workers.
No one has said that Judge Thayer
could fairly deny new trial in face
Of the mass of evidence produced by
the defense which utterly countradicts
the farcial trial
Chief prosecution witnesses have
been caught in perjury so gross as to
discredit them in the eyes of even the
most conservative. Shady pasts have
been exhumed.
Perhaps most incontrovertible of all
is the expert gun tests which prove
that the mortal bullet could not
have been fired from Sacco's gun.
Judge Thayer may risk denial of
the new trial in spite Of all the evil
dence that the original trial was a
put-up Job to get rid Of two honest,
class-conscious Italian workers.

Thirteen Union
Members Graduate
From Brookwood

KAToNAH, N. Y, June 4.-Profes-
sor Harry Elmer Barnes spoke on the
subject of a Challenge to the Contem-
porary Order at the commencement
exercises at Brookwood college. While
the struggles between social classes
must go on and still provide the dyna-
mics Of progress, yet it is now gener-
ally recognized that the fighting line
must be supplemented by the scien-
tific approach which education can
give, concluded DIR. Barnes.
Representatives Of a number OF
trade unions, which are supporting
Brookwood, addressed the graduating
class. The 10 graduating students
were represented by Charles L. Reed
of the machinists' union. The exer-
cises were presided over by D. ]. Sa-
poss, instructor in labor problems.

submit its dispute to the labor board
and to have it heard and decided by
the board before taking any arbitrary
action.
Shipments Strike illegal"
For example, the only considerable
strike that has been authorized by a
railroad labor organization since the
enactment of the transportation act,
namely the shop strike of 1922, was
ordered in the strictest conformity
with the law" A correct understand
ing of this at the time would have
meant sympathy for several hundred
thousand workers striking against in
justice.
Hooper in a lame personal reply to
the accusation that he has freely ex-
pressed prejudice admits it. but says
these prejudices have nothing to do
with the immediate issues which the
board is called upon to decide. He
says that his criticisms were not in
regard to matters within the jurisdic-
ton of the board nor the industrial
policies of the organizations and were
not directed against the employees but
were criticisms of certain political
policies of few labor leaders.
Publicity Man on Job
This kind of special pleading is evil
dence that a skillful publicity man
now heads this government tribunal.
His skill at making good case before
the public for an inexcusable decision
is another feature of the board which
makes it a menace to the interests of
the rail employees.
On May 20 the B. R. & P. manage
ment wired the board that the dispute
had been settled by negotiation and
the case was withdrawn.

union GAINS
Figures Fell Consider
ably from 1920 Total.
By LELAND OLDS

Federated Press Industrial EDITOR
If the labor movement throughout
: the world were marshalled in solid
column of tours it would extend from
New York to San Francisco,--over
5000 miles.
Are you one OF this procession?
Trade union membership in 40 coun-
1tries at the end of 1922, according to
the Canadian department of labor, to-
tailed over 100000 organized men
and women workers. Complete figures
for 1923 are not available, but the
United States, Great Britain, Russia
and Canada show combined net gain
Of 100000 during that year.
- Comparison with trade union men,
bership in 1920 shows that the support
of every member is still necessary to
stem the reaction which set in with
the economic collapse that followed the
war This comparison covering 20
countries shows that between 1920
. and 1922 the number of organized
workers fell from 4S,OO9,O00 to 4O,616,-

such a statement by Hooper
prior to the July 8, 1922, anti
strike resolution of the board
would have prevented the strike
and saved employees, railroads
and the country untold losses.
Hooper, public" member at that
time, preferred to play into the rail-
roads hands by outlawing the strik-
ing unions, encouraging company UNI
ions and preparing the ground for the
infamous Daugherty injunction. This
eQuivocal attitude which always helps
the management is one of many char
acteristics which disqualify Hooper as
an impartial arbitrator.
Board VIGOROUSLY Unfair
In wiring their refusal to appear be-
fore the board in the present case
Stone and Robertson based their de-
cision primarily on the ground that
the board through its present compo-
sition and the freely expressed preju-
dices and antagonism of it's chairman
to the official representatives of the
employees and to the policies of their
organization, has disqualified itself
from acting as an impartial tribunal"
They also referred to the repeated re-
fusal of the railroads to accept its de-
cisions.
In reply the board declared the
course contemplated by the union
chiefs "a plain, positive violation aud
defiance of the law of the land as en-
bodied in the transportation act and
that no other labor organization in the
United States during the years ex-
istence of this law has ever in single
instance adopted a similar course"
Here Hooper passes over the fact
that there have been a score Of cases
in which railroad arrangements have
similarly defied the board, in particu-
lar the Pennsylvania which has con-
sistently taken the attitude here con-
demned. He prefers to leave with the
public the impression that the en-
ployes in this case are the only "cul-
prits. gsn 5~

Reports for 1928 indicate continued
