cries by railying the forces for pow
erful movement against the system
that tears our best fighters from us,
and ilnprisons and kills them-the
frame-up system. We believe that the
development of such movement, to
prevent new frame-ups and to release
from the penitentiaries the past VIC
tins of this system, is the best monu-
ment that we can erect to the already
imperishable memory of our martyrs.
Defense Needed.
"The fight against the frame-up
system in this country is one of the
NEST pressing needs of the working
class. Already, with the ashes Of
Sacco and Nanzetti hardly cold, we
are witnessing frame-up in the max
ing in Cheswick, Pa, where a num-
Der Of workers are being put in the
cars for railroading to the peniten-
tiary. And in New York, another case
is being concocted against two Ital-
ian workers who have fought fascism
in this country. We know this, that
Massachusetts justice is not confined
to that state, but that it is similar to
capitalist justice throughout the
country.
W I'VE have invited hundreds of la
Dor organizations, unions, and units
of the International Labor Defense to
this conference. In addition, we are
already assured Of the attendance of
number of well-known released
class-war prisoners who will be there
as fraternal delegates. We know that
scores of labor organizations will send
| delegates to the conference and join
with us in building a mighty national
non-partisan labor defense movement
against the infamous frame-up sys-
TEN. What happened in Chicago forty
years ago, in Massachusetts one
month ago, and what is being plan
ned in Pennsylvania and New York,
may take place in every section of
the United States unless the workers
of this country determine to organ
ize a stubborn resistance to the agents
and instruments Of the frame-up sys-
tom.
We are convinced that the third
conference of international Labor De
Tense will lay the basis for a broad
movement and prove to the enemies
of the working class that they cannot
any longer with impunity Jail, torture
and murder the best workers in our
ranks r..

and their Indictment on three counts
is of special significance coming on
the heels of the execution Of Sacco
and Vanzetti. Not only was the meet
ing a demonstration for Sacco and
Vanzetti, but it is feared here that
an arbitrary arrest may be made here
any day in order to find a frame-up
victim to be charged with the killing
of the trooper. Experience with po-
lice and judicial methods in this state
which are, if anything, worse than
those of Massachusetts, lead those
familiar with the situation not to pre-
cludc the possibility of an even more
dastardly frame-up than was recently
brought to its terrible elimination in
the electric chair in Massachusetts.

these workers to the penitentiary

James P. Cannon, secretary Of In.
ternational Labor Defense, which is

Spirit Fingerprints"
Expert Overlooks Fact
That Stunt Is Exposed

PARIS, Sept. 29.-With an invita-.
ton to skeptics to laugh that one
off," Malcolm Bird, research officer
of the American Society for Physi-
cal Research, today exhibited spirit
finger prints in wax he said were
made this year by the teleplasm hand
OF Talter Stinson of Boston, who has
been dead for Is years.
Bird declared the Bertillon experts
of the Boston police department had
examined the wax prints and had
certified that they were the same as
those left by Stinson on the handle
of his razor the day before he died.
Finger Prints Forged.
The opposition points out that the
stage magician, Houdini, used as part
OF his regular expose of mediums to
make spirit finger moulds with rub
Der gloves, and that Alfred Wehde,
an American class war prisoner, has
published thru Tremonia Publishing
Co., OF Chicago, book giving de-
tailed information about the methods
used in forging finger prints.

A. F. OF |. MAKES
SCAB Hotel Los
ANGELES CENTER
Delegates Arriving AS
Pre-cOnventiOn Starts

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.-Offici-
ais of the American Federation of
Labor whose forty-seventh annual
convention is to open here on Oct. 8
are already appearing on the streets
of Los Angeles. Heads of the metals
trades, the building trades, the rail
road and other departments of the
A. F. of L. have arrived early in
order to attend the sessions of the
departmental convention which takes
place before the general meeting be-
gins.
The official headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor in Los
Angeles is the Hotel Alexandria. This
hotel was decided upon despite a
strong fight put up by the Culinary
Workers Union in the Los Angeles
Central Labor Council. The Culinary
Workers declared that the Alexandria
is a VIGOROUSLY scabby hotel and
that they have so far refused all at
tempts to organize their help
President McGarry of the Los
Angeles, will open the convention.
George Greyer, the anti-labor mayor
of the city will also make an address.
While it is not expected that there
will be any considerable changes in
the leadership of the A. F. of L. dur
ing the convention, the years bitter
struggle within the ranks of organ
lied labor, especially among the gar
ment workers and the Furriers Union
will in all probability find its echo
in Los Angeles. The fight of the
progressive elements to prevent their
being driven from the A. F. of L.
unions is almost certain to be re-
Elected in the proceedings of the pre-
sent convention.
One of the most important prob
lens which the convention will be
called upon to consider will be the
question of the formation of a united
Labor Party. There is also the ques-
ton of the organization of the auto
motive industries and of the condi-
tions among the steel workers and
the striking miners. The United
Mine Workers will report upon their
hard struggle to maintain the Jack
sonville agreement in the bituminous
coal fields. There is also the iuris-
dictional quarrel between the Opera
tive Plasterers' International Union

the hands of the workers.
"The gigantic growth of trade
unions and their control over the re-
hottest districts of the country are
truly amazing. Although strictly dis
ciplined and centralized the trade
unions are very democratic.
"Trade unions in America spend
their energy in petty, economic, and
frequently purely craft struggles. In
regard to economic struggle our re
suits are ridiculously small compared
with yours. For instance: throughout
North America we have only three
rest homes accommodating about 400
people To get into such a rest home
one must be aged and sick and one
must have paid preliminary fees for
number Of years.
II have inspected your sanatoria,
spas and rest homes for workers. l

everything"

considers the accomplishment of the
Soviet government as little short of
miracle. 81 visited Russia before
the Revolution, and in the beginning
of the civil war;" Davis stated. Il
witnessed the complete ruin of the
national economy of the country and
now venture to say that the Soviet
I government has worked miracle IN
regard to reconstruction of the ma
tional economy.
"Of particular importance is the
planning system in your economic life.
l know that inevitable mistakes are
made in your economy, but owing to
the planning system you steer clear
of those terrible crises which bring
starvation and unemployment to the
working class of America,
81 visited Russian villages before
the revolution and was always struck
with the down-trodden look on the
faces of the peasants. This is diff
ferent now. The people have become
energetic and fully alive. Your youth
struck me as particularly energetic.
II am amazed at the broad demo-
crazy Of your State institutions. In
no other country in the world is the
population drawn to such an extent
into State administrative work as is
the case in your soviets."
James Maurer, chairman of the
Delegation made the following COM
ment: 81 am already past the age
when people get very enthusiastic
about something, but what I was able
to see during my short stay in the
Soviet country exceeds all my ex-
pectations. l am sure that the re-
port of the commission Of our experts

May Be Hearst Writer?

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 29-The
sighting of the body af man in Con-
ception Bay was reported to Magis-
trate Power at Belle Isle today by
J. Kelly and his son. Possibility that
the body was that of one of the mem
bers of the crew of the Inflated trans
Atlantic plane "Old Glory" or Of one
of the planes which disappeared on
the disastrous flight attempts from
Europe to America was indicated by
the fact that the men said the head
was covered by what looked like an

The "Old Glory" was Hearst

perts overweighted by the carrying
of Hearst editor as press agent.
