CALSHOT NAVAL FLYING BASE,
England. July 13.-Charles A. Levine
who was to have flown back to
America in the Bellanca plane with
Maurice Drouhin. the famous French
aviator has offered $4,000 to Capt.
Frank T. Courtney to take him as
passenger In the Dornier Napier
whale plane in which he hopes TO
this week make the first westward
flight to New York.
Everybody now is wondering
what happened to upset the agree
ment between Levine and Drouhin,
by which Drouhin was to receive
from Levine $4,000 for the west
ward flight. This agreement had sub
iected both Levine and Drouhin to
unfavorable criticism by the French
people.
Drouhins agreement meant that
the Frcnchman was to forSake the
French plane in which he had planned
to make the fight and was. instead,
Ia make The trip in the American
shin.
Levine asked Capt. Courtney If
he would not accept him as pas
senger. to postpone the flight until
about August 10, when his Columbia
machine would he ready. so they
could fly the Atlantic together.
II is understood Capt. Courtney
Is considering the possibility of TAX
ing Levine as passenger. Under
no circumstances, however, Will he
consent to a postponement OF the
flight.
Levine came here after he had bid
bon voyage at Southampton to Clar-
ence Chamberlin, his pilot on the
flight of the Columbia from New York
to Germany, who sailed yesterday on
the Leviathan.
lie was taken aboard the flying boat
by Capt. Courtney, and they remained
there for several hours, inspecting
the mechanism. Afterward Levine
said:
Capt. Courtney has fine craft anu
given reasonable weather conditions
his voyage of the transatlantic will
be success and a really great
achievement"
1t proved impossible for Chamber
lin and Cant. Courtney to meet before
the formers departure on the Levia-
than today. Before Chamberlin left,
however. he said:
81 wish Capt. Courtney bon voyage
and the very best luck. His is to be
a great endeavor, and I am indeed
sorry not to have had the oppor.
tunity Of shaking hands with him here
in England, but that opportunity.
am sure, is postponed only until his
arrival in America.
1.-THE flying boat has an assured
future. It's safety factor in flights OF
this description is UNNECESSARILY
greater than the factor of safety in
the land plane, although I do think
the range of the seaplane Is lesser
than that of the ordinary plane. How
ever, Capt. Courtney deserves to have
good fortune in store for him, and.
once again, I wish him WELL"
Levine is not the only American
who wants to be a passenger aboard
the Dornier Napier. Capt. Courtney
Is daily receiving cable letters Of ap.
plication from people in the United
States who want to fly back with him,
although few mention paying fare.
Many of the applicants are women.

ARE POSTPONED At union SQUARE DEMONSTRATION

The 10000 workers at yesterdays
Union Square Saceo- Vanzetti meet
ing greeted Bertram D. Wolfe's call
for strike with cheers.
What is your reply ?" The as
sembled mass Of workers Numbered,
yes" Wolfe continued. Garry the
message into your shop and into your
factories. Only a general strike can
now save Sacco and Vanzetti."
Refers to Haymarket Case.
j. Louis Engdahl one Of the editors
of The DAILY WORKER compared
the Sacco-Vanzetti frame-up with the
execution Of the five workers follow
ing the Haymarket framed explosion.
"The fate Of the Haymarket martyrs
must not be allowed to happen to
Sacco and Vanzetti. We. are more
powerful in 1927 than we were in 1886.
They took five of our comrades and
put them to death because they dared
to organize the workers"
William f. Dunno. noted labor
writer declared that Fullers action
was a direct challenge to the Amer
lean workers. He said that a united
front on the part of Labor would re-
suit in the liberation of the two con-
demned workers,
Dunno said in part, "In the next
week we must prepare for a united
struggle and must continue that strug-
gle until Sacco and Vanzetti are back
in the ranks Of the workingclass."

Public for Murder of

BOSTON. Mass Aug. 4.-Boston
capitalist papers are doing their
utmost to prepare public opinion
against the two men. The story of
the case is treated in such man
ner as to picture the convicted
workers and their friends as dam
gerous men. s@ -Ih
Bomb-throwing stories are fea-
tured, terms as "bomb-throwing
friends Of the defense" are being
used and the words evidence or

dence of the defense is put in quo
tation marks.
The placing of extra police
guards is also creating the desired
atmosphere, the working men of
Boston, however, are just as firm
in their belief of innocence as be-
fore.

Dor takers. The forty hour week and
the increases that you won are being
taken from you, the speed-up system
and the contract system that you
thought you had abolished are being
given to the bosses"
! Weisbord emphasized the sharpen
ing of the campaign against militant
labor forces, of which the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti are a part. "The
bosses are faced with the possibility
of war;" he declared. "The collapse
of the Geneva naval conference can
mean only one thing-that the capt.
talists are getting ready for another
imperialist war. They understand
that they can only continue their
plans if they smash the unions. They
cannot smash the unions of class con-
scious, militant workers. so they hope
to substitute MT wing unionism,
which means company unionism, in
order to attain their end"
Greet Gross.
The furriers gave a heartfelt ova-
ton to Aaron Gross, chief business
manager of the Joint Board who APP
peared on the platform for the first
time since the brutal attack of gang
sters on June which nearly cost his
life. Although the workers clam
ored for a speech, Gross was not
strong enough to address them.

were Kate Gittow of the United Coun-
ell of. Workingclass Housewives. and
s. Lipzin of the Joint Defense Com
mittee.
Adopt Resolutions.
Resolutions adopted at the meet
ing condemned the. 4union- breaking
policies of the International and A.
F. of L. officials and accuse them of
openly selling out the fur. workers to
the fur manufacturers" They cali
upon "all fur workers to. support the
Joint Board morally and financially
to re-estahlish the gains of the 1926
general. strike, and rebuild strong,
united Furriers' Union"
| A resolution on the fate of Sacco
and Vanzetti was adopted as fol-
lows: . .. 4.e
Sacco-Vanzetti Resolution.
Whereas the facts have shown be-
yond shadow of doubt that Sacco
and Vanzetti are innocent of the
crime of which they are accused:
And whereas the outrageous deci-
sion of Governor Fuller to murder
Sacco and Vanzetti shows the deter
mlnation on the part Of the anti
labor forces to carry out the criminal
frame-up of these two workers be-
cause of their loyalty to the working
class.
Therefore be it resolved. that we
thousands of fur workers gathered in
Cooper Union, denounce this effort
OF the reactionaries to railroad Sac
co and Vanzetti to the, electric chair,
and we join all the forces of labor
the world over in the demand upon
the governmental authorities to re-
lease these two innocent victims"

World Protests.

to the tremendous world protest which
has been voiced for the liberation of

"The American Federation Of Labor

Vanzetti American labor must. raise
its voice and not only speak but de-
clare a general strike to save Sacco
and Vanzetti. We must show the gov
erning class that they cannot kill our
leaders"
Due to the fact that the furriers'
union was holding a meeting at Cooper
Union at the time of the Union Square
demonstration, three thousand work
ers were unable to attend and swell
the ranks Of the protesting workers.
