EUentS
By T. j. o,FLAxnry.

THE universal attempts on the part
of the imperialists to draw cur
tain on the Sacco-Vanzetti case IN
dicates the fear that possesses them
of the dynamic revolutionary conse-
ouences of the murder of those lnno-
cent workers. No case in the history
of the whole workingclass movement
has aroused world labor to such a
pitch of hatred against capitalism as
the burning of those two innocent
Italian workers. Never was there SO
widespread feeling that the two
radicals were framed. The conduct
of the international plunderbund
since the execution simply confirms
this conviction.
INTENSE feeling has been created
l on both sides. Many workers who
had hitherto been only on the fringe
of the radical movement were stirred
to militancy in defense OF Sacco and
Vanzetti. Superannuated flunkeys IN
hotels expressing an opinion that 1t
was mighty good thing to get those
two "trouble makers" out of the way
would find themselves at loggerheads
with a transient guest. Station mas
ters who lick the boss's boots would
have set-to with passenger, and
thruout the whole labor movement
the case was the main topic OF dis
cussion.
THE authorities are as much afraid
of Sacco and Vanzetti NOW IS they
were while awaiting doom in Charles
town prison. Indeed more so. The
bitterness that has been created in
the minds of the workers by this cold
blooded and cynical butchery will not
be erased by time, because those two
heroic men will be added to the galaxy
of labor martyrs who have gone to the
execution block, the gallows and the
electric chair for the cause of labor's
emancipation.
! III is not of disturbances and riots at
the Sacco-Vanzetti professions that
the police are afraid of. They fear
fthe propaganda value of tn o s e
demonstrations on workersswho have
not yet been touched by the divine
spark of revolt. The only disorder
that takes place at any labor demon
stration is that caused by the police.
And the police would not permit any
kind of labor meeting but for the
sake of expediency.
~
THAT the murder of Sacco and Van
! zetti is new signal for shar-
per onslaught on the workers can be
seen by a mere glance at the news
papers. In France all foreign radi-
Eals are to be drawn into the govern

AGNOSTlCS IN SOCIAL
MOVEMENTS ASSAILED
Anti-Religious Trend Most Vicious
Tendency, Lutheran Con-
ference Is Told.
sno..i.1 nisna.oh to rhe Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. May Headers of
social movements who are agnostics
were assailed by Rev. s. {. Michel
fielder of Pittsburgh in speech before
the Lutheran Inner Mission Confer
ence held here this week.
He said the most vicious tendency
in social service work today Is the
anti.religious trend. For a long
time social workers who were not re-
ligiously minded kept that in the back
ground" he said. Now they are
open about it.
"Often leaders Of great social move
ments are agnostics, infidels and open
scoffers at God. 1t is a by-product OF
our great irreligious universities. Is
it any wonder that social workers
who have sat at the feet Of scoffing
educators should eventually absorb
some of that poison?"
The anti-religious trend has tended
to take all the love out of social work
| and leave it ''pedigreed bunk" cold
and heartless, he said.
! A challenge from modern youth is
| thrown down in social work today,
Rev. Michelfelder explained.
| "In Inner Mission work, which the
| Lutheran Church carries on, and in
other social agencies. we have new
difficulties to meet" he said.i THE
| fiapper and sheik, prohibition and
moonshine, jazz and speed have
given us unique problems of the day
We must face conditions as they are. y

pletion of sealing of the fire zone in
the explosion-wrecked Everettville
mine before nightfall was the goal of
rescue workers today. The blast,
which swept through the workings a
week ago today, has exacted a toll of
80 lives, and in all probability has
claimed the lives of So entombed min

death list would be 95.
While the work mainly centered
in a comparatively small area as the
system of air locks slowly but steadily
advanced, there was possibility that
the helmet men might encounter ad-
ditional bodies in their push forward.
Experts, however, did not expect to
make much progress toward locating
the remaining victims of the disaster
until the smouldering fire was COM

that rapid progress would be made in
exploring the remaining sections of

NEW YORK, May 7.-Efforts were
being made today to discover the
cause of the explosion that wrecked
the Yellow Taxicab Co.'S two,story
concrete building on East Twenty
third street yesterday, killing z en-
ployes and injuring IS.
Carroll Sinnott, vice president Of
the company, who was absent from
the building at the time of the blast,
said a. large emergency gas heater had
been located in the ruined portion of
the structure, but doubted whether
this caused the explosion. He said
there were no explosives stored in
the building.
Plunged Through Wreckage.
The shock was so terrific that hun
dreds of persons rushed from shaking
nearby houses and stores. Blocks of
concrete and timbers were torn from
the walls and doors by the crash, and
at least 25 men and women in the
eastern half of the building were
plunged through the wreckage of the
first floor into the basement.
Seven personS-two girl stenog-
raphers and five men--Were crushed
to death or drowned in the basement
which had filed with water from a
main that burst under the weight
of the debris.
