The UpEeaval i'm Vienna ssag&
GsssSSaS

Sunday afternoon. Conference of the carefully
selected social democratic functOnarles, IN which
new act of treachery is sanctioned. The social demo-
cratic municipal administration in order to cut the
ground from under the Communists who are de-
handing the armng of the workingcass, has set up
a legal municipal constabulary. It consists of
thousand functionaries whose fidelity to the S. P
is beyond all question 1t is armed with pistols and
is to work together with the government police It's
task is "restore law and order in our sense"
The conference of functionaries reflects only to
the slightest extent the mood of the masses dis
appearing minority demands weapons and opposes
the new municipal police The S. P. leadership has
the apparatus sufficiently firmly in hand again to
be able to bring about the resumption OF work IN
the factories early on Monday morning.
The G. P calls upon the workers to continue the
strike, and issues the slogan: general strike on
Wednesday. goth of July, the day of the funeral OF
the fallen. The socialist party leaders want to bury
the dead without participation of the workngclass.
The Seipe government has seized the first oppor-
tunity in order to crush the workngcass by making
use of the S. P. leaders and to break the strength
of the proletarian organizations In doing so the
government has deliberately opposed a section OF
the bourgeoisie which is in favor of policy OF
coalition with the socialist party. Selpei does not
want any coalition and he prevents it by means OF
mass murder. The socialist party leaders want
coalition, and therefore left the workingcass with
out weapons and without leaders, they wish to
prove themselves to be gift to govern"
The Communist Party placed itself at the head
of the struggle and is prosecuted with bound
less hate by the government and the S. P. leaders
At the same time campaign of Indictment, inspired
by England is proceeding against Russia. The
Vienna instruction is crushed for the time being
but the c. P. is seeking to approach the masses and
is beginning organize them for successful counter
attack 1t needs the help and support of the revou-
tionary proletariat of the whole world.

gan of the Communist Party). 1t has not allowed
itself to be suppressed either by the police the
measures of force of the socialist party leaders The
socialist party executive calls upon the workers to
obey in every way the DEGREES of the police, to stay
at home and not allow themselves to be provoked
bv Communist hooligans" Not a single demand,
not q single fighting slogan! Only the spontaneous
general strike is recognized but only for "a hours.
And the ridiculous farce of railway and postal
strike is proclaimed to be the decisive fighting
of the worllingclass.
The Communist Party calls for the arming of the
workers. for an indefinite general strike, and sum
mons the workers to come into the streets It's so-
gans are:
Down with the government! Fight for the work
ers' and peasants government! Disarming of all
fascist organizations Setting up of armed sef-de-
Tense organization in place of the Schutzbund, which
has proved an absolute faurei Release of the pro-
letarian Reichswehr from the barracks and fra
termination with them! The Communist slogans are
received with unexampled enthusiasm. But the c. P
is too weak in order to give crganizatory leader
ship. The masses are without leaders.
Saturday night. The police are firing in the work
ingclass district of Hernas; the workers build bar
ricades and hold them. But they have no weapons!
Early Sunday morning. The socialist party lead
ers who on the previous day had distributed among
the masses a leaflet fercey attacking the Com
munists-not word against the government
succeed in getting the tramway men to return to
work In the night of Saturday and Sunday the
Communist Party issues an illegal eaflet to the
Masses calling on them to hold out and to carry on
the fight for the wel-known demands. General feel

FUR DRESSERS TO
FIGHT WAGE CUT

The conference committee of the fur
dressing locals of the International
Fur Workers Union again rejected
the proposal of the Consolidated Rab-
bit Dressing Corporation that wages
be cut Is to 80 per cent. DR.. Paul
Abelson, the impartial chairman OF
the fur dressing trade, had called this
conference, and it took place at the
Hotel McAplin.
Finally the conference decided to
continue negotiations at another con
ference which will be held on Friday
January 6. In the meantime the
union. intends to hold local member
ship meetings who will again take
up the employers demands. At pre-
vious local meetings the membership
had shown enthusiastic sentiment to
fight the demands Of the bosses.
"The bosses know that our Inter
national officials have greatly weak
ened the union, by illegally expelling
the New York Joint Board that is
why they make demands, but we want
them to know that we will fight to
the limit to maintain our present
wage SCALE" workers declared.

clerks DEFEAT
HEBREW TRADES

Bent on establishing record in
IT'S Injunction activities, the United
Hebrew Trades sought yesterday for
the third time to restrain the Retail
Grocery and Dairy Clerks Union
from carrying on its strike activities.
In a proceeding in the morning be-
fore Justice Dunn in the Brooklyn Su-
1rene Court, motion to make per-
wanart an injunction against the
Clerks Union was denied and the
case was referred back to- Justice
Mitchell May who had denied two
previous motions.
Deceive Judge.
Not satisfied with its previous set
backs the United Hebrew Trades
Dec. 23rd appeared with complaint
embodying new affidav;ts before
Justice Dixie in Brooklyn Supreme
Court, and without notifying Justice
Dixie that the issue had twice pre-
viously been decided against them,
deceived the judge, it appears, into
issuing an injunction effective until
Dec. 81.
When the case came up for final
hearing yesterday before Justice
Dunn, the officers of the Clerks
Union succeeded in proving that de-
ception had been practised upon JUS
tice Dixie. Thereupon Justice Dunn
referred the issue again to Justice
Mitchell May, before whom the case
viii be argued this morning.
Arrest Pickets.
Three members of the Clerks
Union, picketing the struck grocery
Of Bickoff, 718 Saratoga Ave-, Brook
lyn, were yesterday afternoon arrest
ed on complaint of the United He
brew Trades.
Notwithstanding yesterday morn
;ng's decision which had gone against
them, the officials of the United He
brew Trades charged the pickets with
contempt of court in violation of the
injunction The three arrested work
ers. julius Under, Joseph Kushner
and Benny Lieberman, were taken be-
fore Justice Jacob Eilpern in Adams
st. Court, Brooklyn. Justice Eilpern
released them until Jan. IL under GUS
tody of their attorney, Henry O. Kahn,
democratic assemblyman of the 9Th
District.
Louis Marcus, attorney for the
United Hebrew Trades dual union,
is also the ATTORNEY for. the E,ron1ov

Workers Respond.
Everywhere we 60" Milka said in
an interview, eve are getting a warm
reception. All the workers are with
the miners in their fight against the
mine bosses and their thugs"
"Milka is described as the Mother
Jones of 1927" said Embree. "She
has been reared in the fighting tradi-
ton of the Colorado miners"
"The women and children of the
state are fighting right with the
men," he said. I"Many mornings the
women and children join the men on
the picket line as early as o'clock.
And some have been so fearful that
they would be late for the picket line
that they slept in the union halls. If
they had blankets they tried to make
themselves comfortable; if they didn't
have them they slept there just the
same"
Hunger, cold and restitution will

II wore this red dress on the picket
line" said Milka, because it was the
only flannel dress I had, and it was
cold in the morning. Then when the
newspapers began to write about me
I learned that it stood for the work
ing class fight and l am glad l had it
to wear"
Milka has been leading picket lines
and addressing strike meetings since
the strike began. Frantic because of
her tremendous popularity with the
Colorado strikers the authorities
threw her into the Trinidad jail.
"The charge against me was tres
passing, and they refused to let me
out on bail for a long time" she con-
tinued. after a while the sheriff
said he'd let me out if I'd promise to
go home and keep my mouth shut.
But told him to go straight to hell.
l said I would always fight for the
rights of our people,"
Milka was in jail at the time of the
Columbine murder.
THAT murder was an example of
the contemplate, cowardly methods
used by the bosses to beat the men
back to the mines," Embree said.
Relief Is Urgent.
Milka has been beaten by company
guards and has seen other women and
girls trampled under the hoofs of the
horses of the cossacks hired by the
coal companies.
"For relief in Colorado alone" said
Embree, "at least $1,000 week is
necessary. This would enable us to
pay So a week to every male adult,

for each child weekly. That wouldn't
leave much for luxuries," said Embree

The Labor Movement and
the SaCCO-Vanzettl Case
BY VIM. Z. FOSTER

TIE American ruling class has dared to execute
our comrades Sacco and Vanzetti. In the face
Of a worldwide protest of the workers and not
wiehstanding the condemnation of everybody with
even a tnge of liberalism in their makeup, the ex
ploiters, throwing aside the pretenses of legal
ity, have ventured to do away with these two loyal
champions of the working class. 1t brutal
act of terrorism, which will bring no profit to the
capitalists. 1t cynical example of class justice
which will waken of workers to the
hypocrises and horrors of capitalism.
The Sacco-Vanzetti far transcends in
significance the framed-up charge Of murder which
furnished the technical basis of it. 1t is political
issue of the most vital Importance. The workers in
other countries understood this infinitely better than
here. Hence, their monster demonstrations. The
capitalists strong and arrogant in their profits of
Imperialism wrung from the exploited workers all
over the world saw in the Sacco-VanZett execution
an opportunity to deliver attack at the labor
movement, through its most advanced section, the
left wing. Hence, the tryants struck their deadly
blow.
In this great class drama what a sorry role was
played by the men who stand at the head of the
trade unions. Once again they have acted as agents
of the employers Instead of trying to save Sacco
and Vanzett and thus check this offensive of the
employers against the workers. they have facilitated
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-08-27

their execution. Great mass strikes militant
demonstrations of all kinds all that could have
saved Sacco and Vanzetti. But these labor lieu
tentants would have none of such movements. They
blocked every effort at real struggle against the
executioners of our comrades Their long course
of treachery was climaxed in their last minute
statements admitting the guilt of Sacco and Van
zetti Statements of A. F. of L., Chicago Federation
Of Labor. etc. and asking that their sentence be
committed to life Imprisonment.
The betrayal of the workers by their false
leaders evidenced by such treacherous policies
support of the old capitalist parties, refusal to
ganize the unorganized, establishment of the b. u
O. Plan, etc, receives just one expression in
their shameful failure to support Sacco and Van
zetti Ii was such treason by the so-caled leaders
of labor that jailed Mooney and Billings and that
has kept them imprisoned for all these years.
Sacco and Vanzetti are dead, but the cause for
which they died goes on, fortified by the blood of
these new martyrs. 1t is our duty to make the
capitalists pay dearly possible for these cold
hearted murders. Millions of workers all over the
world aroused and indignant at this attack upon
their leaders and their organizations. 1t is our big
task to point out to them the full political meaning
of the Sacco Vanzetti case to teach them that the
same forces that murdered comrades are those
that Cypress the workers in the shops and subject
them TO the bitterest of exploitation.
The Sacco-V anzetti execution must be the sig
nal for renewed struggle against capitalism on
every front One phase Of this must be drive to
free all political prisoners. To the eternal shame
Of the labor movement such men as Mooney, Bill
ngs and others remain year after year in jail
Every trade union, every shop must be made
to ring with protests against the assassinatons of
their comrades The masses of workers must be
turned out to great memorial protest meetings In
all industrial districts August 22nd must be set
aside as a day upon which the proletariat all over
the world demonstrates against the murder Of our
comrades and for the emancipation of the workers.
