Socialists Send Letter to
Mass. Governor

"A resolution, in the form of an open
Fuller of Massachusetts, which urges
him to intervene against the attempts

on framed-up and perjured evidence,
has just been adopted by the county
executice committee Of the socialist
party Of Cook county (Chicago) I'LL
nois, according to Florence Hall,
county secretary.
Would Massachusetts convict or
put to death John D. Rockefeller on
such evidence as now stands against
Sacco and Vanzetti, a part of which
Is confessedly periured testimony"
asks the resolution. Likewise, on
such evidence-an important part OF
which is by two witnesses who have
confessed perjury-would not the
lives of ]. P. Morgan, Henry Ford,
Andrew Mellon, Charles Schwab and
Judge Gary be perfectly safe in Mass
achusetts against the hangman's
moose or the electric chair? !"
The resolution was also adopted at

Evidence Of United Fight.
THE action of the Cook county So
cialists." said James P. Cannon, sec
rotary Of International Labor Defense
today sis further evidence that all
forces are uniting in the fight for life
and freedom for Sacco and Vanzetti.
The report from the local Sacco.Van.
zetti conferences now being organ
lzed turnout the country show that
all elements in the labor movement
are alive to the necessity Of united
working class defense of the two rebel
workers Of the rank and file who face
the electric chair in Massachusetts.
The defense of Sacco and Vanzetti
is the burning issue before the work
ers of America today. It is not a
partisan issue but a class issue and
the workers as a class must take II.
up more unitedly and aggressively.
The strong arm Of the working class
alone can halt the executioners and
Ilberate our brothers in the Massa-
chusetts prison.
Conspiracy Of Silence.
THE staggering revelations of the
Madeiros' confession, which pile still
higher the proof of the innocence OF
Sacco and Vanzetti, are being met by
the capitalist press of Massachusetts.
which only yesterday was clamoring
for immediate execution with a con-
sp1racy of silence. This confession
compelled delay in the murderous
plans OF the capitalist hirelings in
Massachusetts, but has not altered
their determination to have the blood
OF Sacco and Vanzetti.
The new tactics of silence call for
stronger agitation, and louder protest
from the workers. The international
Labor Defense will continue to put
the case of Sacco and vanzetti in the
forefront of it's work and will continue
to strive by all means to extend the
battleline until it includes the entire
working class of America"
