ment is now in office. The reason
why the Labor Party candidates were
defeated is that the Labor government
was weak and vacillating, and did not
attempt to help the workingclass in
the daily struggle; consequently, the
workers did not have any enthusiasm
for the fight. During its term Of Of
flee, the Labor government jailed Bril-
fish seamen who were on strike; per-
secuted workingclass speakers in the
Botanic Gardens; employed "pimps"
in the government railways and
fought against the A hour week.
Truly wonderful record, and one
which could not, and did not, inspire

WEST AUSTRALIA.-State cleo

result, but if the employers win all
four seats the parties will be equal

sible that this will happen because
the four seats are not usually Labor
seats, but two Of them we're won by
Labor candidates at the previous cleo

Our Letter from Australia

NEW SOUTH WALES.-A most
peculiar position has arisen within
the ~ s. w. branch Of the Australian
Labor Party. The president, Mr..
Scale, has been expelled by the execu-
tive, because Of his determination to
call the Annual Conference at Easter.
The vast majority Of unions and
branches are standing bahind Mr..
Scale, and the labor premier of New
South WIles, Mr.. Lang, has also
stated that he will attend the Easter
Conference.
Mr. Scale, with a minority Of the
executive members has set up an
executive Of his own. Both executives
have declared the other bogus, and it
appears that in due course every men,
Der and every branch Of the A. /. p.
will be expelled from the movement.
The militants are supporting Mr..
Scale because they desire that the
control of Bailey and the bureaucrats
Of the Australian Workers Union
should end. It IS also desirable that
the proposed new rules be adopted
These new rulea, are the basis Of the
whole struggle.
Miners Out.
Ten thousand miners on the Matt
land Coalfields have been con the
grass" for month owing to a dis
pute between the coal owners and the
deputies. A new act passed by the
Labor government, provided for more
stringent inspections of the coal
mines. This entailed more work for
the deputies who demanded that addi-
tional deputies be employed. The coal
owners refused the demand, and the
deputies went on strike. The matter
has now been adjusted more or less
satisfactorily. It is regrettable that
the deputies are not in the same or
ganization as the miners, but perhaps
this struggle will be the means Of
bringing home to the workers the need
( for closer organizations on the coal
/ fields.

if this can happen, because the dis

Explain Supreme Court Stand.

3.-The supreme judicial court of
Massachusetts,, in regard to each of
the apparently important aspects of
the case, has been called upon to rule
only on whether errors of law were
committed by the court below They
did not pass, and were not called
upon to pass, upon the facts. The
issues Involving the weight and credi-
bility of new evidence submitted in
support of the motions for a new
trial have been passed on by but a
single judge. That single judge
may sometimes be mistaken is evil
denced by the decisions of courts
of last resort, reversing the rulings
of trial judges in jurisdictions where
such rulings are subject to appellate
review. This possibility of mistake
is inevitably increased in rulings on
motion for new trial, in which
judge is asked in some sort, TO re-
verse himself. We do not know that
any mistake has occurred in this case.
But the fact that there is widespread
doubt as to the justice of the re-
suit in the case Of Sacco and Van
zetti lends color to the possibility
that such mistake may here have
been committed. The presence of
such doubt makes IL unfortunate to
let the case stand without review
upon the facts, Such doubt makes il
doubly unfortunate TO lei the case
stand without such review, when but
a single man has passed upon the IN
portance Of tho new evidence pre-
sented. Tho supreme judicial court
has ruled that no abuse Of Judicial
discretion has, as q roatter Of Jaw,

1t is beyond our province to speak,

wish TO express again our conviction
that such an inquiry cannot but

cannot but strengthen those institu-

The surest foundation for faith in
any system Of justice lies in its
capacity TO deal with the occasional
inevitable case in which reasonably
widespread doubt arises whether JUS

chinery Of justice has provided for
executive discretion in just such
cases. We address You in vigorous
faith that an inquiry to determine /
whether the judicial Institutions hag,

Demanding freedom for Sacco and

"The general executive board of

of the 10000 members of the Anal
gamated Food Workers, expresses
their unanimous and unshakable be-
lief in the innocence of Nicola Sacco

were convicted by a prejudiced court
and jury, and for which they have
been sentenced to die in the electric

To Use Authority.
"They respectfully urge that you
use the authority vested in your CT

to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti.
eve are also thoroughly convinced
that prejudice against the social and
political opinions held by the two CON

The result of a possible loss of our paper
would be disastrous not only to our party but
also to the entire labor movement.
Should our paper be destroyed, the one
militant voice of protest against American

American capitalism is stlled; and the chief
