July 10 to map out a campaign, which
is to include a mass demonstration

conviction of the two Italian labor
champions for murder.
Five hundred thousand workers
were represented by 400 delegates
who met July 9, in the saith street

mittee. These delegates spoke for
$50 unions and 46 branches of the
Workmen's Circle. Elizabeth Cur

Greetings and cheer were telegraph
ed by the meeting to Sacco and Van
zetti. 1--WE are in the fight to eff
feet your unconditional release" said
the messages. A long wire was sent
to Gov. Alvan t. Fuller of Massa-
chusetts. This pointed out that the
defense had asked for a rehearing by
the supreme court on the basis of
fresh proof that the prisoners were
innocent; that the A. F. of L. had
branded their conviction as "a ghast.
ly miscarriage OF Justice; and the
new committee called upon the state

trial which common justice demand.

and arranged mass meetings in be-
half of Sacco and Vanzetti in many
cities and would arrange others; and
that it was sending all funds col

Union Demands Walker Action
BY n. M. WIcKS

NEW YORK, July t5.--In a letter
to Mayor Walker, the Consolidated
Railroad Workers Union Of New York
calls attention to the third crash on
the scab-operated subway lines, and
brands the recruiting of scabs, thugs
and gangsters from other cities and
the entrusting to them the safety and
lives Of the people Of New York as
menace to public welfare and crime
which cannot be permitted to con-
tinue unchecked.
1t places the responsibility for this
condition directly upon Mayor Walker
and reminds him that. AS mayor OF
the city of New York you are entrust-
ed with safeguarding the welfare of
the people of this great city"
Ask Police Be Withdrawn.
After reviewing the miserable acou-
ditions of the men on the traction
lines, the letter continues I'm view

Of trains manned by incompetent and
inexperienced help, we call upon the
city to remove all scabs and strike
breakers; to withdraw police protec
ton for thugs recruited from the IN
derworld to break the strike.
IF the city takes no steps TO secure
for the thousands Of traction workers
an improvement in their condition,
then only one conclusion will be
drawn from this situation: That the
city is not interested in the welfare Of
thousands upon whom decent transit
for the millions of New York depend.
and that the city is allowing itself to
serve in the capacity of a strikebreak-
ing agency against organized labor
IF the city is not to bear response
bility, then it must take the following
steps:
Il. Stop importation of thugs and
criminal strike-breaking elements.

SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 1.-THE striking
episodes Of the past week In the
financial situation have been the
active buying movements IN parts
Of tho stock market which have
brought about numerous high REQ
ords FOR the year, the continued de-.
pression in French, Belgian and
italian paper currencies and the drop
of cotton to now low levels.
The change in the stock market
position has been noted IN these aus
patches for several weeks. With the
evcention OF the latter half Of 1890
and the first Of 1921, no more ex-
tsnsiye decline has occurred In such
a short space Of time than took place
hetween the middle Of January and
the flrst Of May. The decline IN
VOWED a wholesale transfer from the
accounts OF the overspeculadve into
hands that were capable OF holding
them. The market thereupon resumed
the upward drift which had been IN
terrupted in Midwinter. The specu'
iatiye campaign for the rise was re-
newed, but along selective lines.

profitable prices, the other the reap
pearance Of forward buying.
The situation Is very xnuch the same
in tha motor sections. General Motors
has been moving forward rapidly.
while other stocks In the same class
have been slow to participate. The
explanation appears to lie In the pros.
meet that holders OF General Motors
are in for more special distribution.
Also the company is In a peculiarly
favorable position, as instanced by its

Railway stocks have been strong.
not because Of anything new in their

ton that the Autumn will bring a
record traffic volume. This expec-
tation has been supported by the Gov.

showing an increase Of more than A.
per cent in the indication as com.
pared with year ago. And against
tnls the Spring wheat condition is
low. On the first Of June, it stood at
