showed net gains Of rs TO p points,
January selling up "a 1915 on cov-
ering and Liverpool buying.
The relatively firm showing of
Liverpool and recent broadening OF
differences between that market and
New York, appeared to be attracting
considerable buying here against
sales abroad. while there may have
been some covering on a private re-
port estimating the crop at 1885, 600
bales.
The market was quiet later. The
early advance met some realizing and
southern selling but reaction OF
some 10 or II points brought in a
little more buying. and the market
grew steady. At midday, January
was holding around 1906 with active
months generally showing net ad-
vances OF 2 to 3 points.

WILL THEY BE
REMEMBERED2
By HELEN BLACK

How many times during the past seven years
have raised the slogan, "Sacco and Vanzetti
Must Not Die" yet now they are gone In spite
of all the determination of the workers to stop this
criminal murder, it was accomplished. The workers
nos yet strong enough, not yet organized 10
make the Fullers Thayers, Lowels listen to their
demands and fear to oppose them.
Today, as we cry 'Iong Live Sacco and Van
zetti," apt to say confidently "They Will
Never Be Forgotten; but if this is to prove true
it must be said with grim determination and bitter
hatred of those class forces which deed the workers
of the whole world and lightly dismissed their pleas
for justice. Sacco and Vanzett will be forgotten
greater and greater organization of the workers
every field. 1t is easy for an emotion even as
tremendous and widespread as that which has
been reused by the death of these two martyrs, to
die down We ourselves will not be here forever
and to those who come after US Sacco and Vanzett
may not be living realities.
Last Monday night, some of US waited for the
approach of the death hour one comrade argued
that there was danger that Sacco and Vanzetti
would be forgotten. The rest of denied this
emphatically; but the comrade said:
"Tom Mooney and Warren Billings are still in
San Quentin prison. They have been rotting there
since 1916 as result of frame-up as deliberate
and fiendsh the one against Sacco and Vanzetti"
1t ture; and just easily Sacco and
Vanzetti be forgotten and their great martyrdom
fade into dim memory, unless their example in
spires organization and persistently for la
Dor party which will be real to the rulers
of Massachusetts and the rest of the country. This
has been said hundred times before, but it cannot
be said too often. Workers of America unite; join
hands with the workers Of the world. Then the
memory and example of Sacco and Vanzett will
die.
