Develop Mass Protest.
No stone is being left unturned to
build the fight mountain high against
the would-be assassins of Sacco and
Vanzetti. Appeals are being sent out
today to the nations workers to con-
tinue and develop their mass pro-
tests. An extensive program of
picketting is being mapped out for
Boston, to be renewed at the earliest
possible moment in spite of the mass
arrests of pickets on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Thirty-seven pickets arrested

Bertram D. Wolfe and George Kras-

Reign OF Terror.
In the meantime the reign of terror
continues. Six workers who came to
join in the death Watch" at the
prison were arrested as "bomb sus-
pects." They were taken to the Joy
Street police station where they were
severely grilled. Their names are
Philip Palumbo, David Riskin, Luigi
Bove, Antonio Pelegreno, Orlando
Delduco and Salvatore Fratali. The
officials are trying to make much out
of the fact that they carried copies of

Jacob Miller, business agent, and Will
liam Seligman, chairman, of Cap
makers Union, Local No. 7, arrested
on the eve of the proposed electrocu-
tion last Wednesday night, of Sacco
and Vanzetti, has revealed the dread
with which the Boston ruling class
faced last Tuesdays strike move
.ment.
"If | keep you here the general
strike will not be a success" was the
statement that superintendent of Po-
lice Michael H. Crowley made to me-"
said Seligman.
Feared Strike Not Bombs
"The fear of the strike movement
was the real reason for our arrests,
and not the effort to connect us with
the so-called bomb plots in New
York and other cities, as has been so
widely published in the capitalist
press thruout the nation"
Seligman and Miller were arrested
Tuesday morning, the day of the
strike for Sacco and Vanzetti. They
had left the union headquarters at
2S Haywood Place, which has been
continually watched by police and de-
tectives for many days, for concilia-
tion meeting with some of the manu-
facturers. The were followed by the
police to the Basch Cap Company, on
Washington Street, where they were
seized as they were about to enter
the building.
Grilled BY 16 Detectives.
They were first taken to Police Sta
tion No. A (La Grande Street). Later
they were removed to the main police
headquarters. Here they were taken
into separate rooms, each being
grilled by eight detectives taking
turns in questioning them.
They were questioned about their
intention to strike that day (Tuesday)

Twelve Days to Right.
But it was the brain of the indus
trial autocracy of Massachusetts, that
spoke, deciding that the sentences of
death imposed on Sacco and Vanzetti
be respited for 12 days or until
midnight on Monday, August %,
1927. But this only means II days
more Of the most energetic struggle
on the part of workers in all lands.
If working class protest weakens,
then Sacco and Vanzetti are doomed,
as there is no hope in the continued
debate before the courts resumed to-
day. Defense forces today opened the
renewed attack on Nthe federal gov
ernment, demanding the opening of
the Department of Justice files. that
contain the testimony that will prove
the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The attack has already been started
thru United States Senator Borah,
with the help of Senator LaFollette.
Since justice Holmes has closed the
doors of the United States Supreme
Court at Washington, this move is the
only one than can be made at the
nations capitol. Their is the possi-
bility, of course, even il the files can
be opened, that the papers condemn
ing the United States Government as
a party to the frame-up of our two
conrad have been removed from
the rec rds. 1t is here that Senator
Borah can best serve as an agency
for getting the testimony of the De-
partment of Justice agents involved.
Two of whom have already confessed
in sworn affidavits, that "there are
papers in the files of the govern
ment that prove the complete inno-
cence of Sacco and Vanzetti." The
appearance Of Senator Borah in the
Sacco-Vanzetti case recalls that
Borah appeared in 1905-7 as the
prosecutor in Odaho of Meyer, Petit
bone and Haywood, in the attempt to
