BY JAY LOvESTONE.

GONE people tend to look upon the
Sacco-Vanzetti case as an isolated,
special example of the miscarriage
of justice in the American democratic
court system. We Communists take
the very opposite view. We look upon
the Sacco-V o-Vanzetti case not as a mis-
carriage of justice, but, on the con-
trary, as a Grass example of the
carrying out of justice by capitalists
against workers, by the exploiting
class against the exploited. To us
justice is not an abstraction To us
justice is part and parcel of the
whole system of the capitalist, class
society of today.
More than that. The Communists
do not look upon. the Sacco-V Vanzetti
case as an isolated incident of reac-
tion which is an exception to the rule
of the trend of events. To us, the
Sacco-Vanzetti case is only symbol,
a >high-water mark of the sweep of
capitalist reaction now crushing the
American workers.

Ebert n. GARY

Fifth AVE. HOME
Was Head of u. S. Steel
Corporation

Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, died yester-
day morning at $50 o'clock at his
Fifth Avenue home in this city, ac-
cording to the official announcement
at his office. The news Of his death
was withheld for several hours, until
after the stock market opened Mon
day morning and the holders of steel
shares had time to prepare for bear
ish movement to pull down the market
price. The result was but a slight
downward trend and immediate recov-
cry with United States Steel taking
the lead IN new upward drive.
Noted Labor Hater
Gary, who with the backing of the
House of Morgan, organized the
United States Steel Corporation in
1901, and has been the recognized
head of it ever since, was one of the
worst enemies of labor in the country
and the leader of the latest "open
shop" drive against labor unions. A
ruthless exploiter of labor, he be-
came the chief spokesman for the
open shoppers.

Every Party Member Must
Help Assure Holding of
Important Convention
To All Party Units.

DEAR COMRADES; In agree
- ment with the Communist In
ternational the Party has decided
to hold its fifth regular Conven-
tion on August 31st.
Because of the impending war
danger, the offensive against the
Party by the government and the
trade union bureaucracy, the gen
eral attack being launched against
the workers by the imperialist
clique and the need for the consol-
idation and unification of the Par
ty to meet the important tasks
now confronting it, this Conven-
tion takes on the most important
character which any of our con-
ventions has assumed to date.
No Convention will be possible
unless every Party member buys
an Assessment Stamp. To delay
holding the Convention or not to
hold it will deal serious blow to
the welfare of our Party. 1t will
be impossible, however, to hold a
Convention as scheduled unless ev-
cry member of our Party does his
bit to help hold the Convention.
This means that every Party mem
ber must Immediately purchase a
Convention Assessment Stamp.
Not only will Party member not
be in good standing unless he pur>
chases his Convention Stamp, but
| if he fails to do that he will be
interfering with the progress of
the Party in the most serious way.
The Unit secretaries must not
hold up the funds collected thru
the sale of Convention Assessment
Stamps. These funds must be re-
mitted to the National Office with
out the slightest delay.
Comrades, if you have not yet
bought your Convention Assess
ment Stamp, buy it Immediately.
You cannot vote otherwise.
If you have not yet remitted the
funds collected thru the sale of the
Convention Assessment Stamps,
send them Immediately to the Ma
tional Office. Failure to remit
these funds is as harmful as fail
ure to purchase Convention AS
sessment Stamps. Act quickly.
Fraternally,
Jay Lovestone,
VIM. q. Foster.
Secretaries.

New Danger Signals in the Sacco -Vanzetti Case

'ominous instances indicating that
such campaign is in the making.
The Sacco-Vanzetti case is so clear,
so naked, so Grass an example of pure
American democracy as applied by
the imperialists that even the most
purblind can see the mockery, hypo-
cricy and terror of the whole game.
1t is very many years since an event
in our working class struggles has
stirred up so much interest abroad as
well as at home. Naturally, among
the great masses awakened and in
spired in the United States to pro-
test energetically against the Cool
idge brand of justice as handed out
to Sacco and Vanzetti are great
masses of foreign-born proletarians.
The extreme ire of our capitalists has
been aroused. Two foreign-born
workers must be executed. The thin
veil of the dignity of capitalist justice
has been torn to shreds. The safety
of society" must be assured. The
weakest section of the working class
must be taught lesson. This means

ings of their executive committees
before officially endorsing it.
The Marine Transport Workers
Union, an organization affiliated
with the Industrial Workers of the
World, indicated it's willingness to
join in a united protest Monday
against the murder of Sacco and
Vanzetti.
Urges Students Strike.
In urging the strike the Student
Sacco- -Vanzetti Committee, appealed
to all students to stay away from
their classes and to demonstrate for
the immediate and unconditional re-
lease of the framed-up workers.
Many Attend Protest Meetings.
In the meantime reports from all
sections of the country state that
protest meetings are being enthus-
iastically attended by record crowds
of workers. Plans for a monster
demonstration at Union Square, in
New York City, are being made by
the Sacco-Vanzetti Emergency Com
mittee
In its call for a strike the Central
Executive Committee of the Workers
(Communist) Party declared:
'The twelve days respite must not
deceive the working class. 1t is in
tended only to deceive, only to quiet
down the magnificent demonstrations
of working class brotherhood and
solidarity which were swelling thru
out the country and which were al
ready limiting of that fact that when
the working class speaks with all of
its might it must be heard. The busi-
ness of the working class now is to
intensity ten-fold the demonstrations
and strikes which have compelled the
butcher of Massachusetts (and the

are openly advocating life imprison-
ment for Sacco and Vanzetti and ths
American Federation officials seem
to be adopting the same line.
"This is as shameful as the threat
ened execution and must be de-
nounced without reservation.
American reactionary Imperialism
can only be halted in its determina-
tion to destroy Sacco and Vanzetti
by an increased demonstration that
millions of workers everywhere will
Immediately render the verdict of 'as-
sassin' and American imperialism will
take the same place in the estimation
of the masses formerly occupied By
czarist Russia. The TUEL calls upon
all workers everywhere to join in
general strike movement on August
22nd in the suprem. final protest.
prevent this heavy blow against
working class! Save Sacco and Van
zetti from judicial murder by the boss
class! Strike on August 22ndl
"(Signed) William 2. Foster.
Secretary, Trade Union Educational
League"
In an interview Foster stated that
TUEL adherents are everywhere in
the front ranks of the struggle and
must now do even more.
From every city the news shows
that the masses are protesting, but
the reactionary union officials are
holding them back. 1t is up to all
active progressives TO organize DEM
onstrations and strikes. The TUEL
call is for the complete cooperation
of all those who are ready to really
act to save the two framed-up work.

CHANG FORCED

NANKIN1 REGIME
Peasant Uprisings Still
Threaten Wuhan

SHANGHAI, Aug. l5.-Ger. Chang
kal-shek, commander of the Cantonese
forces in the northern drive who at
the time of his greatest successes be-
trayed the revolution into the hands
Of the capitalists and imperialists is
now down ard cut. Since the <treach-
cry of the Wuhan government and
Gen, Feng Yu-hsiang, a strong de
nland for unity between the Nanking
government of Chang and Wuhan has
GROWN up within his own group. This
has eliminated in forcing Chang to
retire.
Owing to desertions to Wuhan and
10 defections because some of the
troops refused to follow Chiang's anti
Communist campaign, his army was
weakened and was steadily losing
ground before the forces of Marshal
Chang Tso-lin- the Manchurian war
lord and bandit.
Feng and Wuhanites, stood aside
and permitted Chang to face defeat
and then agreed to step in only on
condition that Chang quit, thereby
leaving only the Wuhan counter-re-
volutionaries in the service of i'm
perialismN in the field against Chang
Tso-lin, Feng has shown the master
class that he is just as vicious against
the further development Of the revo-
luton as was Chang and so the first
traitorous general has to take back
seat.
Peasant Uprisings Continue.
Meanwhile the uprisings of peas
ants, under the leadership of Com
munists, continues in a number of
provinces and the Wuhan counter
revolutionary gang fears the spread
of dissatisfaction to their own armies
that may result in strengthening and
spreading the revolutionary move
ment until they will follow the road
of Chang to oblivion.
