Labor Accepts the Challenge

T'EE death of Sacco and Vanzetti
is q challenge to the toilers of all
countries, to everyone who is not a
slave of the imperialist bankers and
big interests that dominate the
world.
By the murder of Sacco and Van
zetti,/ capitalism has affirmed it's
domination, it has demanded and
obtained its pound of flesh, but at
the same time it has exposed the
hollowness of American justice, the
show and hypocrisy of American
democracy.
Sacco and Vanzetti have been
murdered by the bloody hands Of
capitalist justice which have
crushed out the lives Of these two
valiant fighters for the cause Of
the working class.
Saceo and Vanzetti died as they
lived-uncompromising enemies Of
capitalism and the capitalist state,
unwavering champions cf the cause
of labor, appealing to the last mo-
ment to the workers Of the world
to fight on for a new and better
order Of society, and have told the
workers Of this country that CAPT
talist dictatorship rules, and labor
can obtain no Justice.
Labor accepts the challenge. It
knows that the case Of Sacco and
Vanzetti does not stand apart from
the class struggle. 1t knows that

laws, renewed attacks upon foreign
born workers, new frame-ups and

working conditions of all labor.

HaskeII's Complaint.

Dear Comr6de.
Major General William N. Haskell
says:
"The employers should support the
National Guard because any time the
big corporations have trouble they
generally call upon the Guard for
protection"
1t is presumed he means labor
troubles and the services the Guard
renders in breaking strikes. Is that
what the Guard is for?
l always thought a Guard is for
the purpose of maintaining order and
favoring neither side.

80 Lives in Danger
As Sea Pours Into
Vessel, Says SOS

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 4.--Repeated
wireless s o S calls from a Greek
tanker, Paraguay, were picked up all
along the coast from Boston to Nor
folk, reporting that thirty lives are
in grave danger.
According to reports received here,
the Paraguay, which was caught in
a sixty-mle northeast gale, is suf-
fering from leaks fore and aft, and
unless her pumps are able to keep
her going until she reaches Cape
Henry, or some one of the vessels
seeking her comes to the rescue,
there is little hope for the crew.
The Carrabassett, a coast guard
cutter, has been dispatched to assist
the Paraguay, but according to re-
ports, the cutter is having hard
time fighting the sea, and is making
little Roadway towards the distressed
tanker
Another unidentified vessel is also
reported in distress.

Gus second choices were needed, and
we do not get these. Morris gained
81 votes upon the elimination Of
Lewis, Cherniak received POP and
Palmer 278. This can be explained
solely as an anti-I. L. P. sentiment.
Counting Out Cherniak.
Upon the elimination Of Morris the
greatest surprise of the election
came. 1t was felt everywhere that
Cherniak would be elected by the Sec
ond votes for him upon Morris bal
lots. This happened in the case Of
Penner, Party candidate at the Prov
incial election last summer when
Ivens of the I. L. P. was elected by
the transfer of 900 Of Penner's votes
to the l. L. P. Upon counting, it was
found that 1928 of Morris votes
were plumbers, j. e., marked for
him alone and not for Cherniak also
Only 1,084 of Morris ballots were
transferable out of a total of 1907,
and of those 444 went to Cherniak
and $40 to Palmer, thus securing Pal
mer's election. Of the GAO, almost
the entire amount of Lewis vote 10
Morris were included, making about
800 actual seconds for Palmer on
Morris ballots. This was against the
Party policy of vote solid Labor
ticket"
S. J. Farmer, ex-Labor mayor
gained d seat for the Ill. P. in ward
one. Flye, l. l.. j. alderman was re-
elected in ward two with a surplus.
A Communist Victory.
The Communist Party issue in the
campaign was the Canadian Labor
Party The Communist vote among
the English workers has gone up by
at least 700, This vote, particularly
in the case of the bye-election, is, in
the opinion of the Party, a vote for
the Canadian Labor Party. We have
gained tremendous victory. Our is
sues throughout the campaign were
explained in over $4,000 pieces of lit
erature, and at many meetings, one
of them at least the largest held dur
ing the whole campaign by anyone
I anywhere. The Party rallied to its
support hundreds Of sympathisers.
Without exaggeration it was the fin
est election fight ever held in the
red ward. 1t will not be the last.

Communist Gains in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, Canada, Dec. A.
Comrades Morris; Popovich and

Joseph Kahana, Party candidate

The greatest first choice vote ever
polled by the Party in any previous
election was around 1000. Kolisnyk
last year polled 1878 first choices

Lies About Ukraine

MOSCOW, Dec. 4.-The press serv-

fatty denying reports of "uprisings"
in the Ukraine appearing in the Ru-
manian press.
There is not grain of truth in
these reports" the statement declares.
Absolute calm prevails in the Ukra-
ine." The statement is substantiated
by the absence of reports from Ger
man consuls in Kiev and Odessa who
it is believed would have reported dis
orders had there been any.
The Rumanian reports are believed
to have been inspired largely by a
desire to cover up difficult situation
at home and with a view to clouding

LAND FOR RUBBER
KINGS, DAVIS CRY
Flatly Against Freedom
for Islands

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Glib
cralizaticn of the Philippine land
laws" to permit larger land holdings
was recommended in the annual re-
port issued by Secretary of War Davis
yesterday. Larger land holdings will
permit American rubber magnates to
open rubber plantations in Mindanao
on large scale.
The recommendation that larger
land holdings be permitted American
investors is accompanied by defin-
lite recommendation that the independ-
cnce be withheld from the islands.
Against Freedom.
"The political status of the Philip
pines is usually set forth as the prin-
cipal hindrance to the rapid develop
ment of the islands," the report says.
eff the United States were to an
nounce the definite determination to
remain permanently, or for an ex-
tended period, in control of the is
lands, there would be more rapid de-
NelOpiHeHt. nat CdIlIlOG De questioned
"On the other hand, it is equally
true that if the United States were
to announce a definite determination
to withdraw from the islands in the
near future such a decision would
result not only in the slowing up of
development, but, for a period, in
rapid retrogress;on. The statement
that the announcement Of definite
policy would result in development of
the islands is therefore not essential

Hit British Labor
Party Attitude on
Indian Commission

LONDON, Nov. % (By MaiI. -
Militant British labor will support the
Indian masses in their struggle
against British imperialism, the Exc
cutive Committee of the British Com
munist Party told the Indian National
Congress in a cable.
"The telegram of the labor party
leaders suggesting that any commits
sion of British oppressors' parliament
will advance the welfare of the Indian
people only exposes the united front
Of British labor leaders with imperi
alists," adds the message, which warns
the Indian movement against "any
reliance on British reformists who,
when in office, as they showed in
1924, will continue to maintain exploit
tation in India by police persecution
and armed force in the name of the
British Commonwealth of Nations,
which is a synonym for British slave
empire"
The real voice of British workers
was heard in anti-imperialist resolu
ton adopted at the Scarborough Con-
gress, 1925, and the decision of the
Edinburgh Congress, 1927, to send
fraternal delegation to the All-1ndia
Trade Union Congress despite the
opposition of the United General
Council, including Purcell and Halls
worth, adds the telegram, which con-
graduates the Indian movement on
the widespread resolve to boycott the
commission.
