front on the part of all labor for the
purpose of calling a national general

The resolution read as follows:
Text of Resolution.
Whereas the farcical trial of Sac
co and Vanzetti followed by the re-
peated denial of new trial in spite
of accumulated evidence of frame-up,
and the GROWING act of criminal in
justice, the declaration of Governor
Fuller, demonstrate that the workers
can secure no justice from capitalist
courts, and
Whereas only the united protest
of labor can now save these two work
ers' champions,
Therefore be it resolved by this
meeting called by the Workers Party
in Union Square:
Call FOR Unity.

movement to unite, regardless of diff
ferences, in common struggle to re-
lease Sacco and Vanzetti.
