WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Oct. 10-The

the first and third Saturday afternoon,
in Union Hall, - Market street. Two
thirds of the mines of the Glenn Alden

The reorganization of the grievance

are hostile to any attempt on the part
Of the miners to take the initiative in

cially when some one comes wanting
to shed light of truth on the Russian
situation in favor of the workers gov

President Green has even received a
letter from c. B. Van Dusen, president
of che Detroit Y M. G. A., inviting him
to speak before the members of that

future time. The letter concludes:

to you, that upon any occasion when
an acute controversial situation such
as the present does not exist, you will

interests are willing to forgive Presi-

the Soviet Union. Especially when
that attack is also levelled against DR..

AT the convention hotel, after Ed

Tobin that Eddy had shown bad

Recognition Only Ban on Free
Speech.
This opinion was not shared by in

the conditions agreed on in advance

delegates Eddy had said to Green sew

SPECIAL FORD

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 10,-Two
thousand copies Of the special Ford
edition OF The DAILY WORKER dated
Oct. were sold like hot cakes to the

plant. The previous record for sales
Of the paper at this plant was 125
copies.
A week had passed since the Ford
announcement OF the five-day week.
When the special edition was an
nounced we in Detroit wondered how
those who worked for such a "benev-
client" boss would receive 1t.
Great Surprise.
At 2 D. m. last Thursday we took
our places at the gates with the 1000
copies, not expecting even to sell 1000.
But to our great surprise, more than
az any other time in our experience.
workers were taking a great interest
IN the paper and buying it as fast as
we could make the change. This
proved to us that the workers in the
Ford plant are not being taken in by
the fve-day week stuff and that The
Ford Worker, the Communist bulletin
in the shop, is having it's effect.
All Sold.
When o'clock came every one Of
the 1000 copies had been sold. This
shows that the auto workers Of De-
trot are ready for organization. 1t
shows that the A. F. of L. convention
meeting here had better not overlook
the opportunity it may have an
other "Passaic" to deal with.

CLOAK Makers
PREP airing TO

Strike Relief Fund Arm
|. L. G. Pickets
Especial to The Daily WorkerJ

NSpeciai TO me Daily WoFker)
NEW YORK CITY, oct. 1o.-Flnan-
elal achievements are pouring into
the treasury Of the joint board, Cloak
Suit, Skirt and Dress Makers unions,
1870 East 25th street, to so satisfactory
a degree, that the general strike of
10000 cIoakmakers Of New York and
the vicinity can be successfully main
talned indefinitely, the union has an
nounced after tahuatIon of Incoming
funds.
Further impetus was received at q
meeting of representatives of local
trade union bodies at the Internation-
al Auditorium, 8 West 18th street
The meeting was called for the pur
pose of effectively combating the in
junction against the striking cloak
makers, and also took measures to aid
the strikers financially.
Settled Shops Make Up Half.
From one source alone, the levy
upon workers in settled shops, there
are obtained funds to meet half the
strike benefits of the men and women
still on the picket line. The strike
benefits of 81 and $40 weekly for sin
gle and married men and women, re-
spectively, average $15O,0OO. At a
stirring meeting in Cooper Union of
workers employed in shops that have
already acceded to the union terms
assessments upon them were volun-
tarily Increased from Is to 20 per
cent of their weekly wages. This will
automatically bring into the union
treasury $4,000 per week to meet half
the total strike benefits.
In addition to voting 20 per cent of
their weekly wages to support their
fellow workers still on strike, 10000
cloakmakers at work have already
given the union an additional one
days pay, the total sums obtained
from both sources being S150,000.
While this additional days pay is not
regular donation, it is expected to
be forthcoming voluntarily whenever
the finances of the striking cloakmak-
ers require it.
Other Needle Trade Unions Donate.
Large sums have been obtaind from
other sources, and more is forthcom-
ing. The Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Of America have voted
$4,000 in instalIments to the be-
sieged strikers. OF this amount,
$4,000 was promptly received. The
Rochester unions Of the same organ.
ization contributed $4,000. The Bos-
ton ladies' garment workers contrib
uted $4,000 to their striking brethren.
The bonnaz embroidery workers of
this city, small organization, have
voted to tax themselves to SIS each.
They expect to raise $4,000, of which
$4,000 is already on hand.
In response to the appeal of the
American Federation of Labor and af-
fihated international bodies for funds,
the A. F. of L., at its convention in
Detroit, made the call a special order
of business and unanimously voted
immediate assistance. international
bodies affiliated with It are already
responding.

The Sacco and Vanzetti
Case Is Before A. F. Of L.
Convention at Detroit
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE fight for the lives of the class
a war prisoners, Nick Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzettd, is before the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor In Detroit.
That is not saying very much,
of course. This struggle has been
before every A. F. OF L. convention
since the United States government
first put it's bloody clutches upon
the throats OF these two courageous
militants of labor. 1t often entered
as an unlimited guest. 1t was never
welcome.
Last year the effort to keep the
Sacco-Vanzeth case before Ameri-
can labor, thru securing repeated &C
tion by the A. F. of L., resulted In
a severe rebuff from the stolid re-
action, In the words of Vice-Presi-
dent Matthew Vol, reporting for
the resolutions committee, 1--WE
have adopted similar resolutions
several years in succession. We are
on record in this case. These reso-
lutions should, therefore, not be
brought in here year after year in
this way" And the Sacoo-Vanzetti
resolution introduced last year at
Atlantic City was forthwith con-
signed to the waste basket.
This year, however, the powerful
fist of the Sacco-Vanzetd case, de-
handing attention, crashes it's way
upward thru the floor of the A. F.
of L. convention hall.
Last year the resolution was in
troduced by the, delegation of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, but not single men,
Der of the delegation raised his voice
in favor of it.
This year the resolution IS pre-
scented by Delegate Samuel Squibb,
Of the International Granite Cutters
Union, one Of the most reactionary
organizations in the whole A. F. of
L. Its chief spokesman, James Dun
can, is first vice-president of the
A. F. of L., perhaps the staunchest
supporters of the late Gompers'
regime. He felt himself the logical
successor OF Gompers, but Green got
the Job. Thus even this wing of
the A. f. of L. recognizes that THE
case of Sacco and vanzetti has
again come before the public"
Every worker in the land should
read the resolutions which are as
follows:
Where, after six years of i'm
prisonment those who take an in
terest in this case are now more
convinced than ever that Sacco and
vanzetti are not guilty of the crime
they were charged with and con-
victed for, and
Whereas, the motion for a new
trial based on newly discovered evil
dence, primarily on the confession
of Celestino F. Madeiros, is now be-
fore the court of Massachusetts, and
Whereas, on this motion for a
new trial, affidavits of former agents
of the department of justice of the
United States have been produced
that show there are records on
file in the Office of the department
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-10-12

Of justice, establishing the fact that
there was collaboration between the
department of justice and the dis
trict attorney Of Norfolk county to
convict Sacco and Vanzetti on
charges of a crime, of which the
department of justice did not be-
lieve them guilty, and
Whereas, the attorney general
has refused access to the records
in the case to the counsel for the
defense, in spite of his urgent re-
quest for the same, and
Whereas, a large number of the
international unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
are deeply interested in the case of
Sacco and Vanzetti and have by
resolutions adopted at their conven-
tions, expressed the sentiment Of
their members on this matter, be it
therefore
Resolved, that the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor in convention as
sembled demand an immediate in
vestigation by the congress of the
United Statse of the actions of the
agents of the department. of justice;
the connection of the department Of
justice with the conviction Of Sac
CO and Vanzetti, and the refusal of
the department of justice to dis
close its files on the Sacco and
Vanzetti case, be 1t further
Resolved, that copies of this
resolution be sent to the president
and congress- of the United States"
Not a very militant resolution, to
be sure. Requesting a congressional
investigation is an easy method of
lodging the real issue, especially
when congress is not in session, as
is the case at the present time.
But even this is something. The
laboring masses over the land must
rise and demand more.
Madeiros, who would be the chief
witness for Sacco and Vanzetti,
should a new trial be granted, is
himself sentenced to die Oct. 81.
Judge Webster Thayer may hand
down a decision at any hour order
ing Sacco and Vanzetti to the cleo
trio chair. The hour doesn't wait
for congress to assemble.
With the passage of the above
resolution thru the A. F. of L. con-
vention, the protest should grow so
big over the land that the depart
ment of justice will be forced itself
to disgorge the documents, now
held in secret. that would so clear
ly show the innocence of Sacco and
vanzetti, that even a capitalist
judge, time-server of his class, would
not dare rule against the demand
for a new trial.
1t is, of course, good to know that
the A. F. of L. convention will be
told that the case of Sacco and
Vanzetti is again before the public.
very class conscious worker knows
and feels that it has been before
the whole working class clamoring
for attention, since the day more
than six years ago that saw the ar
rest of these two workers. 1t must
stay there, for all the world to see,
until Sacco and Vanzetti are free.

in the steel industry, production has
increased so per cent per capita. In
the handling of pig iron seven men do
the work formerly done by 12s.
To Begin or Not Begin.
Delegate James Duncan came to the
battle line with an amendment ask
ing that the word continue" be in
serted for begin" declaring that the
A. F. Of L. had always fought for the
shorter workday. He denounced some
OF Freys statistics. Frey came back
with the declaration that he didn't
mean to begin" the fight for the
shorter workday, but that he wanted
to begin to gather material about In
creased per capita production, a new
phase of this struggle.
Duncan denounced bethlehem"
and Lawrence" as two industrial
spots where the lowest wages are
paid under the highest tariff.
Printer for 4Day Week.
Delegate John C. Harding, of the
printers, declared that the fight
should be made for the four-hour day
and four-dav week.
Delegate James Lynch, also of the
printers, declared he did not share
the tears that President James O'Con-
nell had shed over the workers in the
auto industry, especially the man
who works on Screw No. 999.
Il do not believe that Henry Ford
himself could eliminate this process
from specialized industry" said
Lynch.
Our task is to remedy the fatigue
and the atrophy that develops as a
result of the reDetttive process in IN
dustry."
He declared this could only be done
by the shorter workday and the
shorter work-week, giving the work
err an opportunity to get the poison
out Of his system and recuperate for
the new weeks labors.
President Green also spoke, worry
ing about what the worker would do
during HIS leisure time.
No Real Fight.
The resolution carried unanimously
as amended by the committee. Thus
the A. +. Of L. makes no definite fight
for the five-day week.
The convention voted for the uni
versal 44-hour week for all govern
ment employees. This provides for the
Saturday half-holiday.
It was also voted to increase the
monthly dues of the federal labor I'M
ions from rs cents to 81 per month,
with the per capita to the A. F. OF
L. increased from 70 to IS cents per
month. The maximum initiation fee
was also raised from $40 to $25 for
the federal labor unions. There was
little opposition TO this boost.
