Hunger Strike Against Secrecy
(By Federated Press).

BOSTON, July 10, (FP).-Sacco
and Vanzetti are starving themselves
to cheat the electric chair The two
Italian workers believe their doom is
sealed.
They are protesting against the
secrecy with which Governor Alvan
T. Fuller is surrounding his inquiries
into their case. They protest his
denying them a chance to refute false
witnesses. Not even their counsel is
permitted to challenge the untruths
told to the governor in secret hear
ings. Defense attorney William G.
Thompson is not given the names of
witnesses appearing before Fuller nor
has he been invited to argue his case.
Hostile to Defense.
Defense witnesses before Fuller and
his advisors have been received with
little-concealed hostility. Mrs. Lie $
B. Rantoul, granddaughter of James
Russell Lowell found Fuller appar-
emily accepting the discredited states
witnesses. He threw the prosecu-
tons arguments to her-those based
on testimony of Lola Andrews, who
repudiated her testimony, denied her
reputation later, and repeated re-
pudiation and denial of it again.
Ignore Editor of Life
Robert Benchley, dramatic editor Of
Life, was challenged by Fuller to
show where in the record the trial
was unfair. Benchley thought he had
been called because of his affidavit
on Judge Webster Thayer's prejudice
against Sacco and Vanzetti. But he
was not asked about that.
Fuller scornfully told 21-year-old
Beltrando Brini, Boston University
student, "your parents taught you the
story" Brini was the 14-year-old
Plymouth boy who assisted Vanzetti
sell cells the Christmas Eve Of the
Bridgewater crime for which Vanzct-
tie got 1915 years.

they insist they did not commit? No,

Chinese Workers and
Peasants Beg Aid to
Stay Toll Of Famine

When in 1921 the Russian prole-
tariat called upon the workers of the
world to stand by, the International
Workers Relief issued a call for aid,
that resulted in over a million dollars
being raised in support of the famine
stricken revolutionary workers and
peasants Of the Soviet Union.
In every country of the globe the
workers formed relief organizations in
defiance of capitalism and supported
the Russian revolutionary army
workers and peasants-and today ten
years after the revolution that coun-
try stands as bulwark for the pro-
lection of the entire working class the
world over.
Unfetter China.
Imperialism is again preparing to
send the four horsemen over the land,
China is the center of attraction
through China the blood sucking vul-
lures of capitalism and imperialism
hope to reach at the heart of Soviet
Russia where decade ago the chains
of slavery were broken and the death
sentence of capitalism pronounced.
China today faces the alternative.
either to be free race of Chinese
people, governing their own land, or
remain miserable slaves of capitalist
exploitation. China is fighting, mil
lions of workers and peasants have
taken up arms. Their cry is down
with capitalism and imperialism, away
with exploitation-China for the
Chinese-Long live the Workers and
Peasants Government-Equality of
opportunities and justice.
Weapon of Starvation.
Starvation is favored weapon of
capitalism, the revolutionary army of
China is bleeding and hungry. The
international working class and every
friend of working class emancipation
must rally to the support Of the revo-
lutionary army of China, even as they
did in 1921 when capitalism was de-
teated in its war of starvation against
Soviet Russia. The revolutionary
workers, peasants, and army of China
depend upon the workers and lovers
of freedom of all countries to supply
them with the means that will stop
the bleeding of their wounds and the
hunger of the children, women and
fighters of the revolution. Long live
the workers and peasants dictator
ship, over that of capitalism.

Relief From Heat.

Relief from the heat came yester-
day, but it is only temporary, ac-
cording to the weather bureau, which
predicted rising temperatures today.
Seven more deaths occurred before
the mercury took a drop, increasing
the toll for the week to 85.

fellow like Leopold who was used to
high standard of living before his

wagon in a world war
THE archduke not being able to hold
his own with plebian artists in
Hollywood decided to make touch.
He wired the Hungarian minister at
Washington, with the request that
the latter assist him in getting a loan
from Hungarian friends in New York.
The minister replied that he did not
want to turn the embassy into a re-
lay station for funds for the aristo-
cratic dead beat. This angered the
archduke very much who retorted
that the count was only lackey in
his family before the revolution. He
might have added that this former
lackey had sense enough to marry
one of the Vanderbilt girls which
makes it possible for him to be a
minister and entertain without hav-
ing to perform mental tasks in a
studio.
m receipt OF the minister's tele-
v gram the archduke grew as vio-
lent as hungry aristocrat could
grow under the circumstances. 1t is
bad enough to be refused a loan or
hampered in it's pursuit by anybody,
but to be treated with contumely by
former butler in your family is
positively unbearable. What would
you expect an aristocrat to do? Let
the archduke speak for himself:
Il received today your offending tele-
gram. 1t is difficult for me to
answer it because you were before
the war only lackey Of my family.
But l will say that a duel can be
arranged and slap in your face my
fighting glove" Thus spaketh the
archduke. But his troubles are not
nearly over. The poor fellow cannot
very well fight duel in the United
States since the practise is almost as
here as publishing an in
telligent novel. And he has no money
with which to pay his passage to
Europe,

Commission Against Defendants.
The advisory commission is dead set
against Sacco and Vanzetti. Grant,

was convinced from the start that the
investigation" was unnecessary. His
mind was made up before the first
witness had been heard. And Stratton
and Lowell, both university heads
with heavy endowments to raise, have
to think of where the money would
come from if they decided in favor of
justice for two "reds." Already Har-
ward has lost money, it is reported, be-
cause members of the law faculty have
been unduly favorable toward mere
justice.
When his decision is made public
condemning Sacco and Vanzetti either
to burn or rot, Fuller will of course
have a SNUG little statement ready
for the press. With all its polite
phraseology, it had might as well
read: "Turn on the juice, boys, while

WILL MAKE PLANS
FOR STATION PLAZA
David Lynn, Capitol Architect,
to Employ Landscape Ex-
pertS This Summer.

When Congress returns In Decem
Der. David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol. expects to have Comprehen-
Sive plans for the landscape treat
ment of the Union Station Plaza ready
for consideration by the appropriate
committees of the Senate and House,
No steps looking TO the actual en-
beliishment Of the vista lying between
the railroad gateway of the city and
the Capitol Building can be taken until
the Government hotels are removed,
and Congress has not yet decided
when the dormitories will come down.
The architect of the Capitol has
authority, however TO proceed with
the preparation of designs on paper
and this preliminary work will be
accomplished during the present re-
cess.
Selection Is Indicated.
The experts who are to prepare the
plans for the plaza parkway have
not been engaged. but it is under
stood the firm of Bennett, Parsons
d Frost Of Chicago is being given
most serious consideration, and pres
ent indications are it will be given
the task.
1t is understood also that when the
completed plans and blueprints are
submitted to Congress the architect
of the Capitol probably will recon-
mend that a commission be created
10 direct the actual carrying out of
the plaza Improvement.
Congress hardly will be able. to act
upon the necessary legislation for the
physical improvement of the plaza
without at the same time deciding
when the temporary war dormitories
are TO be razed
Vista Is Planned.
The Union Station Plaza is to be-
come an attractively laid-off addition
to the existing Capitol grounds, pre-
senting to the visitor, as he steps from
Union Station. an unobstructed view
of the Capitol Building. The out
standing feature of the plaza plan
will be the new diagonal thorough
fare that will extend from the depot
TO Peace Monument. 1t is understood
the plans TO be prepared this Summer
Will incl le a proposed modified loca-
t1on for this important connecting
link.
The layout of lawns, placing of
trees and other essential elements of
landscape architecture will be care
fully included in the plans laid be-
fore Congress next Winter.
Buildings Torn Down.
Workmen have begun taking down
81 old structures within the bounda-
ries of the proposed plaza, but they
are brick residences not needed by
the Government for Office space. The
dormitories are not to be disturbed
until Congress takes specific action
with regard to them. Several of the
dormitory units, no longer needed
for housing purposes. are being uti-
lized as temporary Office space for Gov
ernmentaI activities, including the
District National Guard and the Juve-
nile Court of the District.
It win cost between $4,000 and
81 600 to take down the group of old
brick dwellings now being razed, but
the Government expects to receive
$3.50 from the salvage of the build
ing materials.
