Workers Of Montreal
Denounce Queen Marie
for Worker Treatment

MONTREAL, Canada, Oct. 25.--
Workers of Montreal have been urged
to denounce the visit Of Queen Marie
to the United States and to aid in the
fight against the terrible conditions Of
Roumanian workers by the city CEN
trail committee of the Canadian Labor
Defense League.
A bulletin issued by the league
says: 1.-THE visit Of the queen Of
Roumania to the United States and
Canada has directed attention to the
persecution of political prisoners by
the Roumanian government.
"The city central committee of the
Canadian Labor Defense League calls
upon the workers of Montreal to stand
by their comrades all over the world
in denunciation OF the political and
capitalist intrigues which constitute
the real motives of the visit OF the
queen of Roumania"

Here the Judge goes beyond direct
evidence and even beyond the impli-
cation offered by assistant district
attorney Dudley P. Ranney, altho
Thayer declared at the hearing that
he would regard %only the evidence"
While Thayer severely rebuked for
mer defense counsel Fred H. Moore
in his decisions on other new trial
motions, he now attacks counsel
Thompson. He becomes somewhat
confused in his implication that
Thompson suffers from "logo-psychic
neurosis" OF "hysteria"-a belief in
the existence Of things which do not
exist. Because defense counsel indi-
Gated conspiracy between federal and
state governments to send Sacco and
Vanzetti to the chair not as murder
ers but as radicals, Thayer thinks
Thompson suffers from this disease
Of his own invention. Assistant dis
trict attorney Ranney himself adj
mitted that such cooperation between
governments was a part Of regular
court procedure, virtually granting
Thompson's assertions.
Turnout the decision Judge Thayer
shows again his prejudice against
Sacco and Vanzetti and his determi-
nation not to change his original
opinion, despite all new evidence to
the contrary. He takes the stand that
the new evidence must prove con-
clusiyely the opposite of the old TO
make him change his mind and tho
the mountain Of new evidence since
the original trial has changed many
minds on this case. II has not yet
changed Thayer's. He shows his reli-
ance and confidence in the state su-
preme court by referring to their up
holding his previous denials Of new
trial.

ence of this kind which I had acting
as az interpreter for a widow OF a
Ford worker who died after nine
years OF faithful service in the High
land Park plant.
The widow had two children and
needed help badly. She went to the
Ford factory and was referred to the
sociological department. She was
willing to go to work in the factory
and provide for her children that way.
The sociological department is in
charge of a man named Anderson, who
no doubt was picked for the job be-
cause of his cold and heartless look
which he uses to throw a scare into
people who come to see him.
The following interview followed:
Anderson: What do you want
here?"
Widow: 81 want help, my man die,
two children hungry, no money, give
me job, work same as my man"
Anderson: What have you got
left from your husband?"
Widow: Nothing left"
Anderson walked to file got the
mans record and informed her that
she got $1,000 insurance from a GER
tain insurance company.
What did you do with the money
from your husbands insurance."
Widow: 81 gave him decent bur-
ial and the rest went to pay the doc
tor bills"
Anderson: 81 am sorry l can do
nothing for you, you have been too
extravagant to spend $500 on the bur
ial. You could have buried him for
/ 5000 or less and live on the rest Of the
money. AS for a job we employ 600
women and no more, there are now
145 on the waiting list. If one of the
600 quits or dies the next on the list
gets job You can file your appli
cation and it will be put on the list
and you may get a job about two
years from now. Good bye"

We are obliged to do certain things in

In which each partners responsible

For instance, take the case Of our
neutrality in case some other unit Of
the empire is at war. Suppose under
the league of nations rules Canada is
declared an aggressor. We would not
be bound to support her. At the same
time do not believe we will be bound
to attack her, because the league Of

She raised It thru the British foreign

In the dispute with Portugal who

conduct the negotiations directly.
That does not mean that we want to
set up a full.hedged diplomatic SER

United States Supreme
Court Decision Reveals
Growing Dictatorship
BY }. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

In the meantime the school child
rem will continue to be taught the
same old bunk to the effect that
the United States government is
one Of checks and balances" be-
tween the three branches of the
government, the executive, the judi
cial and the legislative wings of the
government.
Nothing can testify more to the
disrepute into which the legislative
wing of capitalist rule has fallen
than the present meaningless con-
gressional campaign where old par
ty candidates are permitted to run
wild over the country, making
speeches about any and everything,
as long as they do not touch vital
issues. In the meantime the judi
cial branch smirkingly does the bid
ding Of the executive department of
the government, which dominates
over all.
What the children of the working
class, however, are taught in the
public schools dominated by the
capitalist class, they will later I'M
learn as workers in the growing
class war.
The United States has developed
during these recent years into the
mightiest empire on earth. It's
political head is the uncrowned en-
peror, Cal Coolidge, in whom capt.
talism centralizes its power, know
ing that Silent Cal'' is its obedient
agent, its ever-ready Office boy. In
order to give Coolidge new pow
ers, which means strengthening its
own position, capitalism thru its
own courts, overthrows the accepted
precedent Of century and a half
1t reiterates, What is the constitu-
ton between friends"
It is this same Cal Coolidge that
heads 1.-THE New England gang"
that is seeking the lives Of Sacco
and Vanzetti. This gang sneers at
labor's demand for a "just trial."
"a fair trial." for the enjoyment Of
constitutional guarantees, for the
safeguarding Of the civil liberties
of speech, press and assemblage.
There is nothing in the form or
substance of the United States gov
eminent today that guarantees any
thing to Sacco and Vanzetti, or any
of the other class war prisoners,
except the certainty that the vicious
hatred of the present ruling class
Of exploiters and profteers will be
invoked against them to the limit.
It is stating the whole truth to say
that labor must achieve its own
emancipation. 1t is equally true
that only the working class, thru
its own organized and militant pow
er, can prevent Sacco and Vanzet-
ii from being legally murdered by
the judicial assassins who cloak
their crimes as the orderly pro-
cedure of "the most perfect form of
democracy"
The United States supreme court,
in its latest decision, has helped
tear the shielding mantle Of So
called democracy" off the hideous
body of the anti-labor Wall Street
dictatorship. The butcher of work
ers stands revealed before labor
thruout the nation. Let labor rise
against this horror.

MOVE FOREsHADOWS RADICAL CHANGES IN OPERATION
 OF CASINO

PARIS, Dec. 30. (P)-Sir Basil Za- haroff, Europe's man of mystery, and one of the wealthiest men on the con- tinent, has disposed of practically all his stocy in the company operating the Monte Carlo Casino, it has been learned. It is believed that this move foreshadows some radical changes in the operation of the gambling place.
 Though the extent of Zaharoff's in- terest in the Casino was not made known, it is estimated that a large percentage of the 10000 shares that have been sold in the open market during the past two years have been his. If this is true, his profit is be- tween one hundred million and two hundred million francs, the shares having trebled in value since 1920, during whih year Sir Basil obtained the control of the Casino.
