the face of the fiendish assassination
of Sacco and Vanzetti, is to build
broad movement of labor defense.
The Executive Committee of Inter
national Labor Defense calls for
nationwide campaign of agitation in
behalf of the class war prisoners
coupled with campaign Of organiza-
ton to build the movement into a
mighty force against the frame-up
system.
Mast Organize Resistance.
This task requires the united sup
port of all class-conscious workers.
Only the organized resistance of the
working class can prevent the i'm
prisonment of labor fighters who are
framed up by the class enemy. Only
the organized power of the working
class can open the prison doors and
release our brothers from the living
death of the cell. Actual participa-
ton in the work of labor defense, the
movement of solidarity, is the first
need for the fight to free our broth
ers.
Every ounce of effort must be ex-
erted now to enroll new members in
the International Labor Defense.
Thousands of the sympathizers who
have supported the movement must
be invited to join its ranks as active
members. New branches must be
built thruout the country wherever
they do not exist so that every city
has a fortress for labor defense.
New attacks are being planned
against the working class and we
must be prepared to meet them eff
fectively. The lesson of the fight for
Sacco and Vanzetti must be learned
by every worker. The fight against
frame-ups must be organized on a
broader and stronger basis. Organ
ization for labor defense is the duty
of the hour.
Remember the labor martyrs
Sacco and Vanzetti!
Build a wall of labor defense

Our Letter from Australia

Fear was expressed by many dele
gates at the conference that this
method of organization would place
too much power in the hands of
few, but this was replied too effec-
lively by other delegates who point
ed out that the power in the hands
of few was not nearly as great a
danger as the lack Of power and CO.
ordination which existed under the
present form Of industrial organiza-
ton. 1t was pointed out also that
the annual all-Australia Industrial
Conference would decide the policy of
the Labor movement from year to
year and this policy would have to
be carried out by the national indus
trial councils.
There is a definite determination
on the part of the industrial organiza-
tions to obtain some control over the
political party. Possibly this will be
the battle-ground of the Australian
labor movement in the near future.
The most important decision of the
congress was the motion, carried al
most unanimously to establish One
Big Union in Australia.

Antti-Labor Cabinet Fails.

MELBOURNE, MISUNDERSTANDING
out of the general elections, held in
the State Of Victoria on April 9, the
anti-Labor party was unable to form
a government to meet parliament.
The Labor Party thereupon formed a
government headed by Mr.. E. j.
Hogan as premier. 1t has the sup
port of some Farmer Party members.
One of the governments first actions
when sworn in on May 81 was to
start finding work for the unem-
ployed.
Industrial Unions.
Summing up the work of the All
Australian Trade Union congress,
held in Melbourne during the first
week Of May, it seems that the meth
cd of industrial organization to be
adopted in Australia will be organi-
zation on the lines of class and in
dustry. The policy Of the organiza-
ton will be controlled and directed by
an annual conference and in the in
term by national council, represent
ing the industrial organizations
throughout Australia.

Sydney Workers After
Silent Death March
Resolve to Boycott u. S.

SYDNEY, Aug. 24.-Bare-headed,
silent, marching at a funeral pace,
thousands Of workers, many Of them
seamen, made their final death march
for Sacco and Vanzetti here. The
workers wore mourning bands and
filed in complete silence between the
lines Of hundreds Of men and women
who filled the Sydney streets. A
demonstration which followed in front
Of the United States consulate was
orderly and at its conclusion resolu-
tons were adopted to boycott Amer
lean goods The whole demonstration
and the resolutions were calculated to
make plain the inexpressible Ioathing
which the Australian workers feel for
the murderous American bosses.

demonstrators for Sacco and Vanzetti
succeeded in eluding the police vigil
lants and massed in front of Buck
ingham Palace singing the Red Flag,

demonstrators 300 feet from the

in the sharp fighting which ensued.
The royal family is now at Bucking-
ham palace.
Some of the marchers reformed
after the fight at the Palace and sue
ceeded in slipping thru the police
which were drawn up around the Uni
ted States embassy but the mounted
police after repeated charges in
which men and women were ridden
down cleared the streets.
Hyde Park was like a field before
a battle when the huge Sacco and
Vanzetti protest meeting opened here.
Platoons of police encircled h e
crowds determined that there should
be no REPETITION of the march on the
United States embassy of two weeks
ago. Heavily armed reserves were
stationed at hand ready for instant
action should an attempt be made to
march But the meeting was orderly
and the police did not care to attack

American flags were lowered from

Build a Wall of Labor Defense
Against the Frame-up System!


Sacco and Vanzetti were working
class victims of the infamous Ameri-
can frame-up system. They were
condemned-no for the crime with
which they were charged and of which
everyone now knows they were total
ly innocent-but because they were
two foreign-born workers, two radi-
Gals.
Many working class fighters have
been murdered and imprisoned thru
this system and more are caught in
its cogs every day. Tom Mooney and
Warren K. Billings were victims of
the frame-up system, and while a
whole world knows OF their innocence
they are still obliged to serve a life
term in prison. In California and
Washington there are still many
workers who rot in prison because of
their activities in the labor movement.
Indictments are now pending against
many Communists in several states.
In Passaic, the textile workers who
struck so courageously have had to
yield up some of their members to
the vengeance of the mill owners who
demanded and obtained prisoners. In
New York, it is the clothing work
ers and furriers who suffer from the
frame-up system for having struck
for better conditions.
Cheswick Case.
And now, there is being prepared
in Pennsylvania another case in
which innocent workers, of whom
twenty have already been arrested,
will be selected to be charged" with
the crime of having killed one of the
state troopers who charged into a
protest meeting with clubs, bombs
and shotguns.
The workers who are still in prison,
and those who are daily endangered
by the frame-up system, or the anJI-
labor criminal syndicalism" laws,
must be defended. Theirs is the cause
of the whole working class. Among
them, in most cases, are to be found
the most energetic and courageous
fighters. They are paying the penal
ty for having fought well for the la
Dor movement, and it is the task of
the workers to lift this penalty and
enable them to rejoin actively the
movement out of whose ranks they
have been snatched by the enemy of
the workers. The families and Deepen
dents of the imprisoned workers must
be given aid, for they are often the
greatest sufferers.
In Vanguard.
International Labor Defense, a nom
partisan working class organization,
has been in the forefront of the strug-
gle for the class war prisoners since
its inception. International Labor De-
Tense has worked for the release and
freedom of hundreds of workers, re-
CARELESS of political or economic
opinions. 1t has defended them in
court, aided them in obta ming bonds,
prevented the deportation df foreign
born workers active in the labor
movement. 1t has aided the men in
prison, and their families at home.
Every strike that has yielded it's
ia of frame-up victims, as in Zieg-
Ter, in Buffalo, in New York, in Chi
cago, has found the International La
Dor Defense ready to help with legal
defense, publicity and material sup
port.
In the new struggles that are COM
ing, and in the work of obtaining the
release of the remaining class war
prisoners, the need for such a move
ment as International Labor Defense
must be made clear to all workers.

Cancer Research

Studying the light given off by ash
Of tumOrs burned in an arc light Is
the latest method of attacking the
cancer problem, one which has been
applied at the Hahnemann Medical
college in Philadelphia by trio of
biologists and physicist, Donald G.
A. Butts, Thomas E. Huff and Freder-
lex Palmer, Jr. By means of a spec
troscope, which analyses the light and
reveals the elements that cause it,
they have found that the yellow lines
due to sodium, which appear only
momentarily when the ash of normal
animal tissue is placed in the arc,
persist until it has all been consumed
when the ash from tumors is analysed.
This shows the presence of the ele-
ment sodium in cancerous tissue.
