BROUN TO SPEAK
AND WRITE FOR
SACC0, VANzETTI
Won't Go Back to New
York World

Having quit. his job on the New
York World because the editors OF
that liberal publication objected tc
his opinions on Sacco and Vanzetti
Haywood Broun, columnist and nov
elist, has promised to aid the strug-
gle for the freedom of the framed
up workers in his capacities as q
speaker and writer. Both Broun
and his wife, Ruth Hale, volunteered
to address meetings arranged by the
Sacco-Vanzetti Emergency Commit
tee.
Object to Articles.
Broun's notions about Sacco and
Vanzetti differed considerably from
those of the Worlds editorial writers.
Broun believed that Sacco and Van
zetti were framed and he said so,
The liberal editors of the World con-
cerned themselves with the 'fair
name of Massachusetts, eulogies on
Fuller and his murderous crew, and
polite pleas for life Imprisonment
for Sacco and Vanzetti Gin the name
of humanity and justice"
Ask Him ITO Lay off,
After Broun had written two arti-
cles in which he minced no words in
expressing his opinion of the legal
lied murder of the framed workers
he was asked by the liberal editors
Of the New York World "to lay off
that Sacco and Vanzetti case"
Broun refused to lay off the Sacco
and Vanzetti case and wrote a third
article, which was rejected by the
liberal World. He wrote a fourth
article, which was also rejected.
Yesterdays issue of the New York
World therefore carried these liberal
sentiments penned by Ralph Pulitzer,
son of Joseph Pulitzer, and editor
of the New York World;
Pulitzer's Liberalism"
'The World has always believed in
allowing the fullest possible express
sion of individual opinion to those of
its special writers who write under
their own names. Straining, its in
depreciation of this privilege, The
World allowed Mr. Haywood Broun
to write two articles on the Sacco-
Vanzetti case, in which he expressed
his personal opinion with the utmost
extravaganza.
"The World then instructed him,
now that he had made his own posi-
ton clear, to select other subjects
for his next articles. Mr.. Broun,
however, continued to write on the
Sacco-Vanzetti case. The World,
thereupon, exercising its right of
final decision as to what it will pub
fish in its columns, has omitted all
articles submitted by Mr.. Broun.
'RALPH PULITZER,
Editor, The World"
Although Broun's contract with
the World calls for a fat salary until
1881, he has declared that he will
not write another line for the paper.
World Has Articles.
When asked by a representative
of The DAILY WORKER for the re-
iected articles, Broun said: 81 should
like to give you the articles, but they
are too tame. Besides, they are in
the hands of the New York World"
Broun was a fellow-student of
John Reeds at Harvard in 1910.

By L. LANDY.

.
The Sigman gang is on the point
of collapse. An organization based
on gangsterism cannot exist long.
When heavy pay envelopes cease
coming, the union with them is at an
end. Among them there is no ideal
ism. Even the most dependable of
them must get enough for poker and
pinochle or it is, "To He'll with the
Union" and the treasury of the Sig
man, McGrady clique is now quite
empty with little prospects of new
funds. They are on the brink of a
big financial crash. This is the time
to give them final death blow and
drive them forever from the back of
the working class movement.
So far Sigman has been successful
only in sending innocent workers to
prison, to cripple and butcher scores
of others and to encourage the bosses
in their campaign to smash the
unions. Their war cry "save the
unions from Communism" has only
made it possible for the police, and
the black hundred to crush every free
of opinion from the work
ers. Their conduct has encouraged
Fuller to defy the labor movement Of
the entire world; but it also helped
to further prove to the workers what
sort of a gang this is; and further
more, the workers have now fully
realized whom the Forward" really
Even the weaklings who thru econ
omic pressure permitted themselves
to be misled into registration have
realized the danger. The bosses have
already cut wages, increased hours,
and are in process of reinstalling the
piece work system. In reality these
workers never supported Sigman.
But now they are definitely turning
from him and are seeking methods to
re-establish their unions.
The Joint Defense and Relief Com
mittee is becoming the refuge of
these workers. Daily they come to
the office to help spread the litera-
ture of the defense, tickets for its af-
fairs and to enroll as members of the
Workers Self Defense which is being
to help save the unions.
A little more work and energy, and
we will succeed in driving from the
labor movement this black clique. The
leaders of the Joint Boards who have
carried on the fight from the begin
ming have cooperated fully with the
defense.
Knowing this Sigman used injunc-
tions, arrests, attacks on workers and
other methods to compel the defense
to use up its money resources on law
yers and capitalist courts.
In this he was partially successful,
but every fresh expenditure and
every crisis was met with new thou
sands raised by the army of sympa-
thizers, and to the present every at
tack by Sigman has been successfully
met and defeated, and the Joint
Boards are still vigorously carrying
on the fight.
Again we ask the workers to an
swer the call of the defense. Rally
to the struggle. Help us raise an
other $4,000 in the next few weeks.
Make this drive successful. 1t will

BOOST IN PRICE
OF MILK DUE I'm
NEXTFOUR WEEKS

New York workers will pay cent
quart more for their milk within
the next four weeks as the result of
the action of the Dairyman's League
which has boosted the wholesale price,
it was learned yesterday.
With milk already selling at exorbi-
tant prices, fetching as high as 20
cents a quart for Grade A, the new
increase will be a severe blow to New
York workers, coming as it will in
midsummer.
Borden Boost Due.
The Dairymen's League supplies
half of the milk sold in the city, SELL
ing much of its milk thru the Borden
Company.
Increased production costs" was
the excuse given by officers of the
League for the price boost. The
wholesale price of milk is now $2.95
hundred pounds for class A milk.
Propagandize for Price Raise.
BOSTON, Aug. ~. - New York
state as we'll as New England face
an increase in the price of milk if
feed prices maintain their high level
so reported w "A. Schonfelt, of the
Federal Agricultural Department,
hired by dairymen and milk producers
to propaganda for boost in the
price of milk.
If feed prices are maintained, as
the present prospects indicate they
will be, Mr.. Schonfelt stated that New
York producers would bid up prices
and that the reaction would be that
New England producers would do the
same. If feed prices are maintained
and the producers cut down an acute
shortage will result, he added.
Milk producing in Maine which
furnished fourteen per cent of milk
for the 100000 population of Great
err Boston, in 1921 has fallen off one
half, he stated.
