But there were no further out

Workers Must Understand
Role of the Socialists in the
Sacco -Vanzetti Martyrdom
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

Debs bitterly excoriated every
yellow traitor in the Meyer Petit
bone Haywood fight, hitting hard
at labor leaders that cringe before
the plutocracy and do its bidding"
Debs made his appeal to the
American working class, on March
10, 1906, in AN article entitled,
AROUSE Ye Slaves!" that appeared
in the Appeal to Reason, not an or
gan of the socialist party. In fact,
at that time the socialist party had
no central organ. Debs declared:
"The governors of Idaho and Col
orado say they have the proof to
convict They are brazen falsifiers
and venal villains, the miserable
tools of the mine owners who,
themselves, if anybody, deserve the
gibbet."
And again:
Personally and intimately do
know Meyer, Pettibone, Haywood,
St. John and their official co-work-
ers, and l will stake my life on
their honor and integrity; and that
is precisely the crime for which,
according to the words of the Shiny
ssleuth' who worked up the case
against them, they shall never
leave the state alive
"Well if they don't the
governors of Idaho and Colorado
and their masters from Wall
Street, New York, to the Rocky
Mountains had better prepare to
follow them"
Another extract was as follows:
Nearly 20 years ago the CAPT
talist tyrants put some innocent
men to death for standing up for
labor. They are now going to try
it again. Let them dare!
There have been 20 years of
revolutionary education, agitation
and organization since the Haymar-
ket tragedy, and if an attempt is
made to repeat it, there will be a
revolution and I will do all in my
power to precipitate it.
In conclusion Debs urged:
"a special revolutionary conven-
ton of the proletariat at Chicago,
or some other central point, would
be in order, and, if extreme mea-
sures are required, a general strike
could be ordered and industry par
alyzed as preliminary to a gem
eral uprising. If the plutocrats be-
gin the program, we will end it"
Here Debs expressed his great
faith in the fighting qualities of
the working class. 1t is not to his
discredit that he overemphasized
the power of American labor to
struggle in 1906, more than 81
years ago. Suffice it to say that
Meyer, Pettibone and Haywood
were freed.
In contrast is the utter lack of
faith in the workers, shown today
by the small coterie of socialist
leaders, especially those who have
slippery foothold in the trade
unions as they hang onto the coat
tails of the worst reactionaries.
The Sacco-Vanzetti case has
again shown that the Communist
movement has fallen heir to all
the revolutionary traditions of the
American working class, that the
best revolutionary elements are
joining it's ranks. Rallying thus,
American labor will be better able
to battle for the Saccos and the
Vanzettis in the dark days ahead
that lead to the dawnirg day of
final victory.
