opposition to the central committee to
meeting of party comrades, where
they expressed themselves vigorously
in opposition to the prevailing view
OF the party. So far the capitalist
papers have not hailed this political
exuberance as an indication Of the
early fall of the Soviet regime. Some

will not be the government.

President Green made the talk that
he usually gives in opposing the labor

that in Great Britain the workers

out that the British workers are diff
ferently constituted and differently
situated.
He declared the United States, how.

united in the fight for hours, wages
and conditions, the accepted basis Of
international aflliation.
Here Green began to work himself
into frenzy, ending up with his pet
line OF attack that the Communists
are seeking to destroy the A. F. Of L.
and its international unions. He
claims this is inspired by the Rus
sian workers. He concluded that the
Russian workers must cease trying to
destroy the great American Fedora
ton Of Labor before we can entertain
any ideas of solidarity with them.
TreVlno Dodgss Vital Issue.
1t was only this outburst that
brought out the applause of the dele
gates. It quickly died, however, lack
ing the stamina of last years anti
Soviet demonstration. The addresses
OF the fraternal delegates were fea-
tured by the complete failure Of the
Mexican spokesman, Ricardo Trevino,
secretary Of the Mexican Federation
Of Labor, head Of the delegation of
three, to mention the struggle of the
Mexican workers. and the peasants
against the catholic church.
Hicks and Bromley Differ.
Hicks and Bromley also clashed on
the British strike. Hicks declared, in
speaking of the strike: I'VE did not
secure all we had hoped" Bromley,
on the other hand, argued that the
result of the general strike was one
OF the greatest victories that trade
unionism has ever won.
In an effort to smooth over this
difference with Hicks, however, Brom-
ley continued: I'VE never set out in
our first great adventure and bring
home all the prizes. This was labor's
first attempt to free itself"
After pointing out that the conclu-
sion Of the general Btrike was unsat-
isfactory, Hicks declared that the con.
ditions that had produced the general
strike still existed; that the workers
cannot escape from the reality of the
tremendous economic forces at work
with the present social system.
New General Strike Coming.
"The two sides are again prepar-
ing" said Hicks. General strikes of
a more formidable character are in
evitable. We win be ready again
when the time comes. We must not
be timid. There is a glorious field OF
opportunity confronting u.s."
Hicks urged the American workers
to march forward with British labor
TO tho conquest OF power everywhere
for labor.
Most OF Bromley's address was a
humorous recital OF the dire straits
imposed upon the British ruling class
by the strike. 'rhe efforts OF the dukes
and lords to act as strike breakers
and OF his having been sent to parlia-
inent TO keep my eye on the thieves
who are there for the exploiting In.
terests."
mot a Politician"
Bromley declared he was only a
trade unionist. not a politician, but
promised that at the next election
labor would come into power in Great
Britain. Bromley also dealt with the
British Communists, declaring: "They
are not bad boys. We are anxious
to york with them and keep them IN

~ ployed by backstairs private de-
tective agencies were neglected by
the United States government in
league with the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts in the effort to le-
gally murder Nick Sacco and Barto-
lomeo Yanzetti.
This is clearly brought out in the
affidavit now in the hands Of Judge
Webster Thayer in the Norfolk
county court, signed by John RUIZ
zamenti, would-be stool pigeon for
the prosecutions forces.
Ruzzamenti declares that he was
asked by Feri Felix Weiss, Of the
staff of the prosecution, if he would
like to act as spy in the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. This was in Decem-
Der, 1920.
II was at this time that District
Attorney katzmann, according to
Ruzzamenti, told him In substance
THAT HE HAD NO EVIDENCE
AGAINST sAcco OR AGAINST
VANZETTI.
Not having any evidence, the
prosecution set about, as best 1t
could, to manufacture 1t.
Ruzzamenti was to mix with the
prisoners, staying in Jail with them.
in order to listen in on anything
that they might say. But, first of
all, he was to come into the prison,
where Sacco and Vanzetti we're con-
fined, as a bona flde crook in order
not to arouse suspicion. With this
agreement between him and Weiss,
Ruzzamenti came to Boston and told
District Attorney Kaufman of the
plan proposed to him by Weiss, that
he should commit burglary and be
arrested by Encouragement, COM
mitted to Dedham Jail and placed in
the cell next to Sacco.
But the district attorney seems to
have felt that he had a better plan.
Kaufman proposed instead that RUIZ
zamenti should secure employment
in the town of Stoughton, hire
room in Mrs. Sacco's house, estab-
lish friendly relations with her and
secure any confidential communica-
tions from her as to the criminal
activities of her husband.
But the mere fact that the GO arn-
ment forces carried out either one
of these plans is added testimony
to the innocence Of Sacco and Van
zetti.
Since Sacco and vanzettI were
not involved in the South Braintree
affair, or in any other crime, they
would have no criminal activities to
discuss in prison between them
selves, or with the other prisoners.
There was nothing for a stool
pigeon, as Ruzzamenti was proposed
to be, to listen in on.
Similarly, Sacco had no criminal
activities to discuss in the few let
ters that he was permitted to send
to his wife. So Ruzzamenti was
minus the stool pigeons job.
In his affidavit Ruzzamenti says
that District Attorney Kaufman told
him it would be several days be-
fore he was ready to go ahead.
Nothing further developing, how
ever, Ruzzamenti returned to Penn
sylvania about the middle OF jan
uary, 1921. Ruzzamenti adds that
District Attorney Kaufman never
did pay him for his time and trouble.

When the Government
Stoops to the Murder of
the MiIitants of Labor
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

Thus the government double-crosses
even the lowest breed of its own
agents.
Instead, the government sought to
bolster its case by getting an affida-
Wit recently from Joe Morelli, the
white SLAYER, bootlegger, payroll
bandit and freight car thief, who is
now serving 12-year sentence at
the federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kansas.
Morelli, to be sure, denied any
knowledge of the South Braintree
crime. He said he had never heard
of Celestino Madeiros or James F.
Weeks, claiming he always worked
alone. He even said he had never
heard of the Rice and Hutchins
Shoe Factory, when four counts in
the indictment under which he was
convicted charged him with stealing
shipments of the Rice and Hutch
ms factory. This is poor stuff with
which to combat the affidavits of
Madeiros and Weeks.
On the other hand, the case of
Saceo and Vanzetti is bolstered at
every step, especially in the affida-
Wits of Barney B. Monterio and his
wife.
Barney B. Monterio, proprietor of
the so-called Bluebird Inn at See
konk, makes affidavit that Madeiros
worked for him in 1924 as a car
penter; that he owned at least two
revolvers; that he had several bank
accounts; that he knew and asso-
ciAted with James F.. Weeks; that
Madeiros told the afdant, Monterio,
that he was interested in the South
Braintree affair; that he knew more
about 1t than Sacco and Vanzetti
did, that Sacco and Vanzetti knew
nothing about the job, and, finally,
in so many words, said that he was
in the gang that committed the
South Braintree crime.
Mrs. May B. Monterio's affidavit
supports her husbands. She also
tells OF a visit to Madeiros in the
Dedham jail. When she asked Ma
delros II his statement about the
South Bralntree murders were true,
he said they were.
HE SAID THAT HE KNEW
sAcco AND VANZETTI WERE
INNOCENT AND THAT HE FELT
SORRY FOR sAcco BECAUSE HE
HAD SEEN sAcco'S WIFE AND
CHILDREN.
1t should not take the workers of
the nation long to decide as between
the authenticity Of such affidavits
as that given by Joe Morelli, at the
Leavenworth prison, to the govern
ment forces, or the affldavits of Co.
lestino Madeiros, James F. Weeks,
Barney B. Monterio and his wife,
and nearly three scores more. Mo
relli has everything to gain thru
silence. Madeiros, Weeks and the
rest have nothing to gain, except the
hostility of the bloodhounds of the
department of justice at Washing
ton and the local prosecution in
Massachusetts,, thru their efforts to
help cheat the electric chair of the
lives of the two workers-Sacco and
Vanzetti.

Government Worried.

0SNcthUiVUh WHITFIELD
TOXIC, Oct. THE government is
seriously worried over recent develop
ments in Manchuria. Chang Tso-Lin
seems to be feeling his rice. Chang
recently repudiated that part of his
agreement with Japan which permit
ted Japanese subjects to lease agri-
.cultural lands in Manchuria. The
crops are now ready for harvesting,
but Chang intends to bring them in
with swords rather than with scythes.
There are more than million
Corean families in Manchuria who
have leased land as Japanese subjects.
In all probability the Coreans are no
more enthusiastic over Japan's inter
ests in China than Chang Tso-Lin.
Chang May Desert Japan.
Chang Tso-Lin and the Japanese
government are rushing troops and
Red Cross units to the Corean border.
This looks like war. Or 1t may mean
another uprising in Corea. II, as
seems probable. Chang has decided
that this is a good time for him to
drop his Japanese connections, the
Coreans may find the time opportune
to rise against Japan.
Reports have come from Mukden
that severe battles have taken place
between Japanese and Manchurian
forces with heavy losses on both
sides.

What Chamberlain offered Italy as
the price Of it's assistance is not yet
known, but Japan's terms are as fol
lows:
/. The reduction to minimum of
the Singapore project.
2. The recognition of Japan's "spe-
cial interests" In Central China.
3. Full support to Japan's policy
Of penetration of Northern China,
Manchuria, and Mongolia.
4. A number of concessions favor
able to Japanese commercial and
financial interests.
Whether the British government
will be willing to pay such heavy
price. or whether Japan would be pre-
pared TO take less remains to be
seen.
II agreement is reached, the danger
OF armed Intervention will become i'm

II no agreement is reached, there is
a possibility that the British govern
ment, realizing the impossibility of
single-handed Intervention and i'm
pressed by the rapid extension Of the
authority of the Canton government,
which now extends over half OF China,
will decide upon a startling reversal
Of policy.
II is reported that the cabinet has
already under consideration this alter

Open Lights Cause
Many Mine Disasters

Open lights have been the probable
initial cause of the death of 1851 men
in the coal mines of this country dur
ing the past twenty years. The acct
dents responsible for these deaths in
Guided six fires and 112 explosions, ac-
cording to O. P. Hood of the Bureau
of Mines, Department of Commerce
To start an explosion or fire requires
a source of ignition, and the Bureau
of Mines believes open lights are so
much of hazard that their entire
elimination from all coal mines is
warranted. Several hundred thous-
and open lights are daily carried car
ried into coal mines in the United
States, each lamp being a menace to
life and property through fire or ex-
plosion. Flame safety lamps have
been available for over hundred
years, but miners consider them I'M
satisfactory as source of light. Dur
ing the past ten years safe and prac-
teal electric lamps giving good illum-
nation have been perfected and advo-
Gated by the Bureau Of Mines, but
there are still more than twice as
many open lamps in use as of other
kinds. Until better device is avail
able, some flame safety lamps must
be used for detecting gas, but for pur-
poses of illumination in coal mines
the bureau believes that open lights
should be entirely superseded by per-
MISSILE electric lamps. The continued
use of open lamps is due to many
causes, but the reasons for their use
grow weaker as closed lights become
more highly developed and the haz-
ard of open lights becomes more evil
dent. The mine that has no gas today
may have gas tomorrow. Gas and
coal dust are present in most coal
mines. The distinction between a
gassy and non gassy mine is one
of definition and degree, rather than
a matter of fact; consequently reas-
enable condition of safety may quick
ly change to one of danger If mine
OF room in mine suddenly becomes
gassy, open lights are a ready source
of ignition. They have been respons-
ible for many mine fires. 1t is for
such reasons that the Bureau of Mines
has aided the development of safe
electric lamps, marks them as ap-
proved, and advocates their use in all
coal mines.

Why they are called family" hotels I

Couples who are fulfilling their

everyone has house, but not suf-
