The millions of workers in every
part of the world who have not ceased
to fight for the cause of Sacco and
which has become the cause
of the whole working class, must not
be deluded by talk Of communication of
sentence The workers who have thus
far by their power and solidarity pre-
vented the execution of the two rebels
must continue their great fight with
more consciousness and determination.
The workers who have snatched Sacco
and Vanzetti from the chair of death
must snatch them from the cell of
death by slow torture. No unfounded
joy must dull the sharp edge of the

forward with it's million EARNED power
until this great issue is settled with
a great victory.
The hearts of the Massachusetts
executioners have not softened with
kindness, and their desire to murder
our comrades has not changed. On
the contrary, they seek for new
methods of torment. The working
class must reply;
Not the chair of death, but life for
Sacco and Vanzetti!
Not the Imprisonment of death, but
freedom to Sacco and Vanzetti!

ALL CHINA FEDERATION OF LABOR UNIONS CALLS
ON SAILORS OF IMPERIALIST POWERS TO ASSIST

WUHAN, (By MaiD.-To workers
of the whole world:-The United
States of America is a democratic
government in name but not in fact.
She persecutes and entraps our class
workers, the proletariat, in the self
same way in which the autocratic gov
ernments of Europe do to the working
classes. Recently the state govern
ment of Massachusetts for the sake
of pleasing the venal capitalists pro
nounced death sentence for execution
on the 10th of July, 1927, against our
class-comrades, Nicola Sacco and Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti This is sufficient
to show that American imperialists
are as equally cruel and tyrannical as
other imperialists in the world. We,
the class-workers of the world, must
jointly protest against the taking of
precious lives of innocent class-com-
rades.
In Rumania, Bulgaria, Italy and
under the white guard dictatorship of
Poland, the most elemental rights are
denied to our class-workers, the prole-
tariat, and furthermore many laborers
are imprisoned and many labor lead
ers butchered. We, workers of the
world, the proletariat, cannot bear
this kind of treatment any longer now.
We must unite together to work for
the world revolution. Down with our
common enemy, capitalist Imperialism
of all nations. Avenge the blood of
the butchered comrades and liberate
US from our pains.

The great movement of solidarity
in the campaign to save Sacco and
Vanzetti for the working class, which
has developed to such splendid pro-
portions, may be confronted with a
new danger by the time these words
appear. 1t is the same danger that
Slapped the strength, resoluteness and
militancy of the movement to rescue
Tom Mooney and Warren Billings
from the hangman's moose. 1t arises
out of the diabolical cunning and fear
of the vultures of capitalism who see
their prey staunchly defended and
seek to hold it with new snares.
This is known to US from the his
tory of the past. We remember the
movement for Mooney and Billings;
how it enlisted the support of the en-
tire labor movement in this country
and in others, of prominent men and
women, writers and thinkers; how
the cry for general strike to free
the two frame up victims found an
echo among hundreds of thousands
of workers. We know that with a
whole world convinced of their inno-
cence, the executioners were forced
to forego numbering Mooney and
Billings, and instead cheated the
movement Cor the two labor fighters
out of its victory by putting them in
prison for life. The change of the
death sentence to one of life impris-
onment was the clever evasion of the
consequences of the powerful and
swiftly growing movement to vindi-
cate Mooney and Billings. But al
though they were saved from the
death of the sprung trap, they were
condemned to the living death of life
| Imprisonment and the movement fol
their release was virtually destroyed
/ The workers who had rallied to
Mooney and Billings were soothed by
the sinister argument that imprison-
ment for life was, in any event, bet
ter than execution. They were told
that we would have to be satisfied fol
the while with one victory, and that
the final release of the two fighters
would be won later. But after ten
years there remain only few who
still keep alive the memory of these
buried men and who are pledged to
continue the work for their freedom
The great movement for Sacco and
Vanzetti, which now embraces mill
ions of workers, must not allow itself
to be dissolved by a similar subter-
fuge. 1t is not fantastic possibility
that is projected here, but a proba-
bility that may rapidly develop into
fact.
Already the rumor is being eau
tiously spread that the governor OF
Massachusetts,, in whose hands the
final decision on Sacco and Vanzetti
is placed, may commute the sentence
of death to one of life Imprisonment
1t is being spread so that the enemies
of Sacco and Vanzetti may feel out
the reaction to this prospect among
the defenders of the two Italian rebels
They want to know if this splendid
movement Of solidarity, which has
time and again struck heavy blows
at the Massachusetts reaction, will
allow itself to be dissolved with the
bait of a Communication. They want tc

impossible, now, after the World War,
after October, in the historic period
of the decline of capitalism, social
counter-revolution which would des-
troy the productive power and the

If the British bourgeoisie is never

with the fate of the world counter
revolution, this is only proof that
it is condemned = in state of per-
