PREPARE GIANT STRIKE FOR SACCO,
vANzETTI; HOLD DEMONSTRATIONS

InIOrnlaL1Ou WHICH WOulu eSJdDllSn
the innocence of our comrades clear
ly shows that the plan to murder
Sacco and Vanzetti is merciless and
has the approval of one of the high
est departments in the country.
Workers, liberals, and all Justice
loving Americans must unite in one
mighty protest TO force the federal
department to disclose its secrets. I
say with Attorney Thompson of the
defense that any government which
has come to honor its own secrets
more than the lives of its people is
a tyranny whether you call it a mon
archy, a republic or anything else"
Ban Park Meeting.
The Department of Parks has sum
marily refused the Sacco-V anzetti
Emergency Committee the right to
use the public groudns of Central
Park for the purpose of holding a
mass demonstration on behalf of the
condemned radicals.
!, Commenting on the Department of
Parks ban Miss Baron, secretary Of
the Emergency Committee said,
"This latest czaristic action on the
part of the Department of Parks is
merely additional proof that the
workers of New York can look with
little hope to their so-calied repre-
sentatives who will do everything to
hinder the movement to Hberate Sac
co and Vanzetti. MIR. Herrick is
away on a pleasure trip to Europe
with Mayor Walkers JOY party, but
the workers of New York will dem
-onstrate most effectively their con-
demnation of the autocratic park
departments action during the COM
ing week,

DR.. Joseph Mclaughlin, the prison

nose, showed him the rubber tube
thru which the liquid food would be

Ter in his Investigation"
