WORKERS! PROTEST AGAINST
DEATH OF SACCO and vANZETTI!
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-04-22

Thus the leading witness who can
prove the two Italian workers in
nocent is to be done to death without
an opportunity to tell court Of COM
mission that he and his gang are the
South Braintree payroll murderers.
Friends of Sacco and vanzetti were
struck with fear when Governor Full
Ter refused to prolong the life of
Madeiros.
1t may mean that Fuller has made
up his mind that Sacco and Vanzetti
must die.
Madeiros' case is an apt illustra-
ton of BAY State justice. A con-
fessed 1IfErderer, he was granted a
retrial where Sacco and Vanzetti, in
nocent, have been denied shadow of
Justice. Overcome with remorse when
G saw Mrs. Sacco and her children
visiting his fellow prisoner, he con-
essed, duplicating the Morelli gang
although unwilling to mention them
by name.
The deluge of appeals continued to-
day to swamp Governor Fuller's Of
flee. The Belgian Federation of
Labor, representing 100000 workers,
dozen Tampa cigar factories, 381
students Of Mt. Ifolyoke College, the
Workers School Of Springfield, Mass,
San Francisco and Everett, Wash,
Central Labor Councils, the Central
Labor Council of Toulon, France, the
liberal club of the University of Chi
cago and scores of individuals and
groups joined in appeals for freedom
or a review Of the case.

BOSTON, April 21.-Black clouds,

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti,

Celestino Madeiros was sent to the
death house at Charlestown prison, to
be electrocuted next week Madeiros
has confessed that he took part in the
South Braintree payroll murder for
which Sacco and Vanzetti were SEN
fenced to death. His confession

years ago.

ILLINOIS STRIP
MINES WILL PAY
union WAGE RATE

CHICAGO, April 21.-Followins
the lead of the Indiana strip mine
operators, Illinois strippers today
were reported prepared to sign ar
agreement with the United Mine
Workers to pay basic wage OF
$3.50.
The negotiations, which have been
held secretly, are the first Of any
Importance between miners and OPP
orators since the central competitive
bituminous suspension March 81.
Strike In West Virginia.
The eastern and western Kentucky
fields alone have benefited by the
suspension. These are non-union.
Eastern Kentucky production has in
creased one per cent, while western
Kentucky has gone up three per cent.
In the strong non-union West Vir-
GINA field, the production has been
cut 30 per cent.
This reduction indicates the spread
Of the strike activity among nom
union miners, on which the progress
sive elements in the United Mine
Workers of America have been espec-
cially relying for final victory over
the operators.
Even before the lockout took place,
the progressives especially empha-
sized the necessity of organizing the
unorganized miners, and Of bringing
them out in sympathy with the union
miners.
Resist Wage Cut.
Under very adverse circumstances,
union miners, filtering thru the non
union fields have convinced a portion
of the former union men and others
mining coal in non-union fields that
the smashing Of the U. M. W. would
bc only step towards further re-
duction of wages, both in northern
and southern coal fields.
The first week of the suspension
saw 100000 ton production de-
crease for the entire country This
figure includes the outlying districts
in which most of the operators are
mining coal under tentative contracts.
The weekly production has fallen off
gradually ever since, according to re-
ports to the government.

time is not ripe for forming workers,
peasants and soldiers soviets built
on Russian lines.
"In the first place, soviets can't be
formed at a moments notice. Such
tactics would give the enemy the OPP
portunity Of charging that China has
not had a Nationalist revolution but
is being subjected TO artificial trans
plantation Of the Moscow Soviet sys-
tenn" he said.
Stain declared that the latest
events show that the Chinese revolu-
ton has passed the first period of a
united national front and it is now
