THE Two labor organizers Sacco and

Of Massachusetts and in general for
the entire capitalist class Of the Uni
ted States. These who expected that
Fuller and his fake committee would

prove the innoeense Of our two fel-
low workers beyond the shadow Of q
doubt, have no understanding of the
class character Of the society in which
we arc living and tho perpetual war
that exists between those who live by
exploitation and those who exist by
being exploited,
eACGo and yanzetti are innocent Of
y the crime charged against them
as two unborn babes. Then, why
this Judicial murder? We might as
we'll asked why is Tom Mooney still
In San Quentin prison for a crime
that sven the judge who presided at

because tho open shop capitalists of
California wanted to make an ex-
ample Of him for his activity in or

burning him in the electric chair. He
was saved by the protests of world
labor.
FOR thpse who may be deluded into
believing that Fuller and his COM

would not permit two innocent work
ora to go to the electric chair provi-
ded they were convinced of their
innocence, 1t is well to recollect that
tho Investigator sent by President
Wilson to California to study the
Mooney case reported that in his
opinion Mooney was innocent, yet the
hard-boiled capitalists of California
paid no more heed to his report than
they would to the babbling of half

WHEN the capitalist hangmen make
+" up their minds to glut their
vengeance on the workingclass and
select one or more victims for the
sacrifice, they cling to their prey like
bulldogs. The evidence against Sacco
and Vanzetti was the flimsiest that
could possibly have been made the
excuse for prosecution. The trial
was farce. The judge delivered pa
triotic speeches and denounced the
defendants as slackers. The prosecu-

the minds of hick jury against them
because they were foreigners and
radicals. They were condemned to
death, not on the basis of evidence of

Z BUENOS AYRES, Aug. "A gem
eral strike was declared today in Ro-
saTio as protest against the decision
denying a new trial to Sacco and Van
zetti.
Guards were placed today on duty
at the American embassy and consul
ate here, as well as at the American
club and American banks, to guard
against anti-American demonstra-
tions.
Sacco, Vanzetti Expected Decision.
BOSTON, Aug. 4.-Steeling herself
to the task, Mrs. Nicola Sacco today
in the death house at states prison
told her husband and Bartolomeo Van
zetti of Fuller's vicious decision.
Those who witnessed the dramatic
event state that apparently the two
prisoners had expected Fuller's action
and that the tidings did not cause a
great deal of surprise.
Three Prison Bars.
Defense Attorney William G.
Thompson was with Mrs. Sacco when
she told the framed-up workers about
Fuller's decision thru the prison bars.
A conference in the death house fol-
lowed, the lawyer going to the cell of
Celestinos Madeiros at one time to
talk with him.
What Mrs. Sacco said to her hus-
band was known only to the attorney
and prison guards and her words were
kept from the world.
Leaving the prison, Attorney
Thompson in no uncertain terms re-
fused point blank to reveal what took
place inside, the condition of the pris-
oners, or definite plans for new le-
gal move.
Mrs. Sacco, dry-eyed, rushed to a
waiting automobile, shielding her face
from photographers with her hat. The
party drove away. They were in the
death house more than an hour and a
half.
Sacco Grows Weaker.
DR.. Joseph Mclaughlin, prison
physician, reported Sacco growing
slowly weaker as the result of eight
cen days of hunger strike.
A veritable Gordon of uniformed po-
licemen, brought from all sections of
the city, were stationed around the
prison. wall and in the adjoining
freight yards. Tonight this force will
be reinforced by a squadron of po-
lice in automobile and on cycles.
The office of Governor Fuller was
flooded with kilograms and letters
today from all parts of the country
protesting against his decision to rail-
road Sacco and Vanzetti to the cleo
trio chair.

finally do marry, it is often just
because they have become habit

The ideal age for marriage is a

cense bureau of Philadelphia by
Hornell Hart and Wilmer Shields
offer some interesting conclusions.
In their treatise they have fixed
the ideal age for marriage at
about 20 years for the groom and
q years for the bride. They say,
however, that deviations of four
years on either side of the ideal
age for the groom, or two years
or either side for bride, make
nc noticeable difference, but that
marriages in which the bride is un-

younger ages are considered, and
that marriage in which either

ten to one hundred times as risky
as, marriages at the ideal age.
