These leaders of the most militant union the
American labor movement has ever produced were
kidnapped in Denver, Colo, and every effort was
made to send them to the scaffold
More class+eonseious and aggressive than it is
today, the American labor movement rallied to the
aid of these workers and they We're saved The
eloquence of Gene Debs aroused millions of work
ers to the class meaning of this frame-up.
To what period of capitalism did this frame-up
correspond? One will seek in vain in the official
declarations of American labor officialdom for any
explanation. Yet to the working class this connec-
ton of the Haywood Meyer ettibone frame-up
with the rise of American capitalism is of the great
est Importance.
In 1906 the justification process had reached the
mining regions of the Rocky Mountain area-the
last stronghold of competitive capitalism in a basic
industry. Gan exception must be made of coal min
ing where special conditions interviewed to prevent
the rapid completion of the process.)
Great struggles were taking place between the
capitalists of metal mining-Clark, Daily Heinze
etc.
Combines were being formed under the control of
Wall Street. Especially was this true of copper and
zinc. The Amalgamated Copper Company, the fore
runner OF the Anaconda was crushing Henze. The
biggest and richest properties coming under
the control of various Wall Street groups and losing
their individual competitive character.
The Western Federation of Miners, with its CON
troll of wages and working conditions, its militant
policy and its long record of victorious struggle
stood in the way of the triumphant onward march
of Wall Street 1t was decided that it must be
smashed
It was. The Haywood Meyer Pettibone frame-up
was part of the process. Only shadow of the
union was left with Butte Miners Union Number
One its strongest center In 1914, seven years after
the frame-up Butte Miners Union was destroyed
and trust capital left in complete control of
the metal mining industry.

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Aug. IL (R
Crowned heads of Europe, governors
of states, and business leaders
throughout the world sent greetings
to Thomas A. Edison today, the fif-
tieth anniversary of his invention OF
sound reproduction.
The anniversary was celebrated on
the lawn of the Edison home at

friends and employees of Mr.. Edison
A radio audience heard the elec-
trical wizard repeat the nursery

by him on the first phonograph disc
MARY had a little lamb, it's fleece
was white as Snow," he spoke in his
high pitched voice, smiling as ii ne
seemed eager to please his unseen
audience. The inventor appeared to
enjoy the experience, although he
said later he did not 'like speaking
over the radio
It was the second time in his life
that Edison spoke through micro
phone and was by far his longest
speech. 1T .an electrical wo:ktTS'
convention in Atlantic City las0 year
he said, good night" in response to
requests for a radio speech
Governor A. Harry Moore of New
Jersey presented the wizard with a
bound volume of letters from the 48
governors of the United States and
from rulers in Europe, eulogizing the
service of the greatest of inventors,
to humanity, and sending personal
greetings. France, Austria, Belgium,
Czecho-Slovakia and Ireland were
represented. Charles A. Edison ac-
cepted the volume on behalf OF his
father.
Fifty yellow roses, from Edison en-
p1oyes throughout the United States
and Canada were handed to the aged
inventor by Miss Betty AtWell OF
Boston,,
Now in his eightieth year, Mr.. Edi-
son took great interest in the pro-
gram, following the events from type

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE GOOD OLD DAYS

There must be other Lucy Grays
Like her whom Wordsworth founC
Who dwell among untrodden ways
Unsung and unrenowned;
And any bard might seek one out
And earn undying fame
BY writing deathless lays about
A maiden of that name.
But ere modern Lucy Gray
Will show that rustic charm,
And simple girlish naivette
She gained upon the farm
Before her eyes of sunlit blue
Her sweet soul will reveal,
She has to have a drink or two
And tuck away a meal.
Ii WOrdSWortS were bard today
AS in the time gone by,
And prices at cabaret
Were even half as high
fancy he'd have thought bit
Before he sought to gain
The fancy of q country chit
Along a rustic lane.
Let us be glad the literature
That souls like his have wrought
Could be illumined with the pure
And shining light of thought,
That lovely poems could be traced
By bards of slender means
Before their subjects got a taste
For food and limousineS.

.SACCO, ON 18th
DAY OF FAST, is
able TO walk

BOSTON,, Aug. IL (R-Public at
tention, which for a week has been
directed largely toward the attorneys
active in behalf of Nicola Sacco and
Rartolomeo Vanzetti, today turned to
tho men themselves during the lull in
the courts and occupied itself with
their health and spirits and their
limited doings in their cells in state
prison.
Sacco himself set at rest rumors of
his collapse by writing in his cell and
walking and standing while in con-
versation with the prison physician,
Dr. Joseph Mclaughlin. He main
tanned his hunger strike, however,
through it's 9th day. The length of
his fast has brought real> concern to
his wife, although prison officials to-
day said that they had not yet be-
gun consideration of forcible feelings.
Vanzetti broke his fast, already
several times interrupted since both
prisoners first refused food, by ac-
cepting during the day liquid foods
recommended by DR.. Mclaughlin as
best suited to a stomach unaccuS-
toned to nouriShment. AS result
he suffered none of the discomfortS
experienced when he broke fast be-
fort by eatings solids. He appeared
highly pleased when informed that
his sister was sailing for Boston to-
morrow to see him.
It was learned today that only in
event of a deadlock will Judge George
A. Sanderson of the Massachusetts,
supreme court be called upon to sit
I.;c Whn will
consider the case next Tuesday morn
ing. The law provides that justice
shall not sit on any review OF any
Judgment or ruling by him unless the
other justices be equally divided in
opinion.
Another echo of the attempts to
picket the front of the state house
on Wednesday and Thursday in pro-
test against the execution of the
men, which attempts were disrupted
by the arrest of 78 persons, was heard
in municipal court today Two men
we're fined $40 each and "a were
fined SIS each The cases of 10 Wo-
men were placed on file.
George L. Teeple af New York, the
only one to appeal, in statement to
the court, said that he felt double
interest and duty in the case, as an
American-born citizen seeing justice,
done to persons from abroad and as
a Harvard graduate in view of Presi-
dents LowellS services on the gov
ernor'S committee which he regretted.
Judge Joseph zottoh told him that
thele was little excuse for man OF
his birth and education breaking the
city ordinance against sauntering and
lettering and assessed a fine OF $40.

WASHINGTON IS
TOLD GERMAN
PLANES READY

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL tP-The
embassy in Berlin notified the state
department today that final pre-
parations we're being made for the
departure tomorrow between and
8 p. m Of the monoplanes Europa
and Bremen and the biplane Ger
mania bound for New York and
philadelphia with the possibility that
Boston would be the destination OF
the Germania.
In making public the message, the
state department said 1t was under
stood the departure of the German
planes was contingent upon weather
conditions.
The message from Ambassador
Schurman said:
Final preparations are being made
for departure Saturday, August 13,
between end 8 p. M, of two Junker
mcnoplanes from Dessau and one
Caspar biplane from Cologne. Mono
planes are usual Junkers type with
planes below fuselage and bear names
Europa and Bremen. Biplane bears
name Germania. Monoplanes have
wireless for receiving only, biplane
for sending and receiving. Destina-
ton New York and Philadelphia with
possibility Of Boston for Germania."
BERLIN. Aug 12 Q'j-Although the
Junkers planes Europa and Bremen
tonight are prepared to hop off to-
morrow evening on their long trans
Atlantic flight to the United States,
weather prospects we're, such that
postponement until Monday seemed
inevitable.
Otto Koennecke, who arrived at
Tempelhofer field yesterday from
Travemunde, was delayed today in
his plans TO fly to Cologne because
of the necessity for an inspection of
his motor and the installation Of new
magnetoes. He planned to leave for
Cologne tomorrow at noon to com
plete his fueling there, with the prob
ability that he, too, would take off
Monday. His route will be determined
later by weather reports.
1t was stated here today that the
prospective simultaneous departures
of the two German expeditions was
merely coincidence and was not
by design.
(Advices received here today by the
North German LLOYD from it's Berlin
office said that the Junker planes
Europa and Bremen were scheduled
to take off between and z o'clock
tomorrow evening)
