State Board Meets
The State board of education
met last Friday. 1t approved a
report of a special committee in
charge of the distribution of the
equalization fund for needy school
districts that will make $40O, 900
available for the fund to cover
approximately 400 applications
that have been entered. In order
to assure help to the districts for
another year, only 25 pei cent of
the $4,000 600 allotted to the school
fund from the estate of the late
William A. Clark will be used this
year.
The Board amended a former
ruling that exempted county
schools from Sth grade examine
tions by specifying that such
schools must maintain 9 months
terms.

cells of capitalism today await trial before the
courts of the class enemy
"See if you cannot do something for Tom
Mooney" Vanzetti used to entreat those who came
to see him in Charleston prison. "Tom is sick
man. He will die in prison soon if something is not
done for him." he told writer who visited him
during his last days.
These great and noble spirits who died in the
electric chair felt themselves to- be- as they were in
fact bloodbrothers to all the prosecuted imprisoned
and tortured fighters of the liberation struggle of
the workers. They the great movement of the

Shall the record be closed and the fight be stopped

The other side has proposed this They have

they want also to kill the Sacco- Vanzetti movement

movement, called into life by their examples and by
the untirng energy and sacrifices of the classcon-
scious workers, to be dissipated. The memory of
Sacco and Vanzetti, like the memory of the Hay
market martyrs, must become inspiring force
in the living struggle of today and tomorrow. The
various elements which compose it must be bound
closely together and the full class significance
of the maryrdom of Sacco and Vanzett made clearer
to all the workers who participated in the fight The
driving power of the Sacco-V anzetti movement as
a whole, enriched and broadened in its outlook by
its merger with the glorious memory and tradition
of the Haymarket fighters which shines with brighter

0TANDING the scaffold forty years ago the
Haymarket martyrs warned the hangmen that
their case was by ended. "The day will
come" said August Spies, "when our silence will
be powerful than the voices you strangle to-,
day." Events bearing testimony to the truth of
this assertion.
The Fortieth Anniversary of their martyrdom
shows their memory greener than ever before Their
spirit alive in the great movement for Sacco
and Vanzetti, and the militant workers generally
especially the rising generation are learning to es-
TEEN more highly than before the priceless
heritage of the pioneers who died for the cause of
labor in November IL, 1887. Their very names have
become battle-cry to stir the blood of the revolu-
tonaries of today, and dare assert they will be
heard in the triumphant shouts of the final victory
of the working class tomorrow.
The holding of the Third Annual Conference of
the l. L. D. the Fortieth Anniversary of the Hay
market martyrs gives to that occasion an excep-
tional significance and Importance. 'Thrd Annual
Conference of international Labor Defense-Fortieth
Anniversary of the Haymarket Martyrs" The very
words ring like slogan and indeed they are a
slogan, for they signify the binding together of the
fight of the living workers with the imperishable
memory of the illustrious dead. A true comment
Grafton of the men of Haymarket could not be a
funeral affair-their tradition and spirit are call
to battle.
The memory of Parsons, Spies and their com
rades in life and death very dear to those two
who followed them on the path of martyrdom few
weeks ago in Boston Sacco wrote with great
warmth of ''the celebration day of the martyrs of
Chicago, that in the mind of humanity oppressed
never will be forgot" In estimate we put Sacco
and Vanzetti beside the giants of 1887 and properly
So for they of the same heroic stature and
they died in the same fight, which was not an
individual an isolated one in either case The
rope which strangled the Haymarket martyrs the
chair which snuffed out the lives of Sacco and Van
zetti, the prison walls which confined them all
these instruments of torture and death are weapons
in the class war employed against prisoners taken
on the field of battle
The martyrs of 1887 understood this well and
used the courtroom and the scaffold as forum from
which to proclaim it to the world. Sacco and Van
zeth understood it less, as all their utterances
testify, and they knew and understood also-what
many around them did not know and under
stand-the indssoluble bonds which united them
their and their fate, to the other militants

of the class fighters, many of them obscure some
of them all but forgotten who suffer in the prison
hells of capitalism today.
The basis of this fight which we take up anew in
the name of the martyred dead is the united front
of all workers. regardless Of party or viewpoint
who stand the platform of the class struggle
THIS was the line and policy of the heroic dead
The guiding lines of Parsons Spies and their COM
rades harmonic with our united front conceptions
and can very well illuminate our pathway in the
common fight today. For they were men of the
broad movement and the open fight; all sectarian
and clique tendencies alien to them.
The Boston martyrs likewise stood for common
action and united struggle, despite the stupidity sec
tartan and even reactionary influences which sur
rounded them Vanzetti told me with his own lips
that he believed in the intrinsic worth of all demon
stratlons and protests and the necessity of united
action of all forces when the issue to be fought for
is common one. In letter to dated April / /,
1927 signed jointly by Sacco and Vanzetti they say:
when free and in solidarity with others we have
believed that there are circumstances under which
unity Of efforts is desirable. What is essen
tal is good faith in each and all, for that would
harmonic and direct to the common good all the
different elements, characters and actions"
There is power in heroic example to stir the i'm
aglnation of the masses and inspire them with that
courage and solidarity and faith without which there
can be no fight and victory. The martyrs of
1887 and those of August of this year have alike
set before the present and the coming generation
an example of noble dignity and selfless daring
unsurpassed in the history of all times and all
classes And when these qualities of personal con-
duct are combined-as they are combined in both
instances-wth clear-eyed vision and practical wis
dom for the regulation of the common fight then
the story of their life and death becomes indeed a
heritage of unreasonable value. The class move
ment of the workers proudly claims that heritage
as It's own and draws upon it for strength and in
SEPARATION in it's struggle for better and higher
life.
The Third Annual Conference of international
Labor Defense will mark mie-post in the Develop
ment OF the American working class. The class
conscious elements meeting there will organize their
forces for new battles against the lynch-law and
frame-up system of the expoters and will bind to-
gether more closely and indssolubly than before
the issues and struggles of today with the undyng
tradition Of the martyrs of the past. The Third
Annual Conference of the /. L. D., meeting on the
Fortieth Anniversary of the Haymarket martyrs
and animated in its work by their spirit and the
spirit of Sacco and Vanzett, will demonstrate be-
fore the world that the aims of the executioners
nave been defeated. The cause Of the martyrs ia
