SACCO AND VANzErTI TO Be SENTENCED SATURDAY

have never been known to 60 out of
their way in serving the ruling class
of this country. The workers of
American must now realize that
nothing will save these two brilliant
martyrs in the cause of working
class emancipation but direct action

consider it a great tragedy. 1t is
hard to believe that the noble work
of the thousands who agitated for
the release of Sacco and Vanzetti
will be lost. | am confident that
Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts, will
realize that justice has not been done
in this case. If this fails, the mighty
force of enlightened public opinion
will bring about reconsideration
of the essential facts involved"
LOUIS LYMAN, manager of
Joint Board of cloakmakers lit is
disgrace that the supreme court of
Massachusetts, did not recognize the
weakness of the case against Sacco
and Vanzetti, which is nothing more
than a frame-up against the S e
workers by the most reactionary type
of employers. This decision can only
be considered a miscarriage of JUS
tice.
Nevertheless, the present situa-
ton of these victims of class-justice
is due to the weakness of the Ameri-
can labor movement. If we had a
strong labor movement in this coun-
try, the judges of Massachusetts
would certainly not dare to render
such decision. There is still time,
however, for the workers to raise
and save the lives of these two
champions of labor"
CARLO TRESCA, Editor of al
Martello";-"I am not surprised at
the decision of the Massachusetts
court. 1t is their business to use
the weapons in their possession to
destroy the leaders Of the working
class. That verdict is class verdict.
The only occasion for surprise is
the fact that the workers of the
United States have not yet realized
that unless they use direct action
of the general strike they will lose
these two brilliant martyrs of labor.

employ only members of the brother
hood" In the letter he says that
very few people would believe him
capable of lying to any one in his
representations--this completely UNI
principled scoundrel!
He speaks Of the "solemn promises
made to the brotherhood, etc. He
pleads with the men on the basis of
jobs good enough to keep for years,
that they now continue with the COM
pany as loyal Americans.
This man who is not himself a
citizen of the United States and
whose British prejudices are still so
pronounced that he sends his wife to
Canada in order that his children
may be born on English soil! Can
you beat it!
Plot For Split.
Hedley and Quackenbush's second
move was to seek to divide the al"
workers from the subway workers.
A circular letter was sent to the
workers on the Elevated lines.
Previous to this the 81" delegates
had been made to agree that they
would work to break up the strike.
Some of these delegates rode the lines
instructing their men not to go out,
spreading false rumors that the
strike was flake" strike in order
to increase fares for the company
and generally beWildering and deceiv-
ing the men.
Lock Their Men Up.
One of the honest IL" delegates
and one or two others who were sus-
pected of being sympathetic to the
men were locked up by the company
and not permitted even to commune
cate with their homes in the fear
that some move would be made on
their part to call meeting and join
the strike.
All meetings Of the company union
already scheduled were suspended!
The purpose Of giving these events
in detail is that the workers may
learn from the actual facts what a
company union may be counted on
to do in the time of a strike. The
methods of the marlborough Brother
hood are the methods of all company
unions. They must be understood and
exposed before the workers can attain
their freedom from them.

toned how foreign to the policies of
the A. T. Of L." were various acts of
the Furriers' Joint Board-their con
duct Of the strike, their ignoring of
A. F. of L. officials like himself. He
refused to say that he thot money
had been paid to the police by the
fur workers, but said there was
large sum of money unaccounted for
and they would presume it had gone
to the police unless it was proved
otherwise.
Mr.. Frayne was interrupted by the
magistrate just as he was launching
forth in an impassioned dissertation
on the terrible tactics of the left
wing. The speech was declared ir-
relevant, and was ended abruptly.
Ryan Seldom There
The testimony of Joseph p. Ryan,
president Of the New York Central
Trades and Labor Council, was very
brief but revealing. lie stated that he
had been absent from a large number
of the committees hearings and had
never attended one where any state
ments were made concerning bribing
of the police nor any hearing where
members Of the Joint Board appeared.
He says he does not know Morris
Cohen, Sam Resnick, or the former
delegates to the Central Trades
Samuel Liebowitz, l. Shapiro, Sam
Mencher and Ben Gold.
According to Mr.. Frayne's secre-
tary Miss Henriette NJ. Holden who
appeared next on the witness stand,

quently absent from the hearings; but
Matthew Wolf, was always present,
and Hugh Prayne and Edward f.
McGrady We're usually on hand.
Miss Holden also acknowledged
that there were times when she was
asked to leave the room during the
hearings, and also times when she
remained in the room but was asked
not to take notes. The proceedings
during those periods were entered,
presumably by Mr.. Vol, from
memory.
The hearing adjourned at $3.50 yes
terday to be resumed this morning at
1890. 1t was announced that Magis-
trate Corrigan had granted the re-
quest Of Ben Gold to question both
Matthew Vol and Edward F. Nc
Grady for ten minutes each on mat
tiers pertinent to the investigation.
This questioning will be conducted by
attorney for the union, Frank P.
Walsh, at the opening of this MORN
ing's session.
"You cannot believe anything Mr..
Sigman says. He says everyone who

This comment came from the Rev.

New German Budget Is
Largest In History

BERLIN, April THE Reichstag
passed the heaviest budget in Ger
many's history yesterday afternoon
in spite of the opposition of Com
munists and socialists.
The new budget calls for an expen-
dature of more than s,0O0,0oO,oOO
marks, about one-eighth of which will
go for PREPARATIONS under the Dawes

taxes.

he had Joined this relief committee
whose personnel and motives have
been so viciously assailed by Morris
Sigman, president of the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union as
part Of his attack upon the left wing
progressive group in the union.
Referring to the correspondence
which passed between Mr.. Sigman
and Forrest Bailey, director Of the
American Civil Liberties Union rela-
tive to the presence of Civil Liberties
members on the Committee of
One Hundred, Mr.. Holmes said:
'T read the letter Mr.. Sigman

we register our unqualified protest
against the decision in this case. 1t
furthermore resolves to carry on an
incessant agitation for the release of
the two courageous working men,
whose only crime is loyalty to their
fellow workers.
Worldwide Agitation.
"a worldwide agitation has been
able to keep Sacco and Vanzetti from
the electric chair until now. With, The
redoubling of that agitation, the
Massachusetts state government will
be compelled to see the danger of per-
sisting in its vindictive efforts to muir
der two men who are really the per-
sonification of the oppressed working
class.

working class must rise in its might

all its energy into this fight, and
hopes to get the assistance Of the
working class"
United Protest.
Deep resentment at the decision of
the Massachusetts, supreme court in
refusing new trial for Sacco and
Vanzetti was expressed yesterday by
large number of individuals, of
varying political opinions, who are
convinced of the innocence Of the two
italian radical workers.
Some Of the comments follow:
Contrast Harry Thaw Verdict.
LEWIS GANNETT, associate edi-
tor, "The Nation;" docs anyone
believe that if Sacco and Vanzetti
had the wealth and the social rela-
tions of Harry X. Thaw that the
verdict would have been the same?"
JOSEPH BRODSKY, labor at
torney:-The supre court of
Massachusetts in refusing to give a
new trial to these two workers,
despite the fact that a large num-
Der of disinterested lawyers of dis
tinguished reputation have repeatedly
declared that Sacco and Vanzetti
were unjustly convicted, have merely
shown that they are acting true to
their traditions.
Murder Two Innocents.
at is impossible TO believe, how
ever, that the working people Of the
United States will permit these two
innocent men to die. The organized
strength of the American workers,
through huge mass protests, meet
ings, and continued public agitation
must be marshalIed to thwart the
desires Of the master class of this
country"
Regrcttable Decision.
FORREST BAILEY, Of the Ameri-

c!un at tine Icrcival avenue -rounns
IN kensington Sunday afternoon in
tn" first game of a threc-game series
between the two teams. This will
also he the first meeting between

The Corbin Red Sox lost twice
to the Kcnsington team last year in
the city championship series and
Sundays game is the first opportun-
ity the local team has had since that
time TO seek revenge.
kcnsinGton confidently expects to
duplicate last years victory, only this
season. instead of losing the first and
then taking the remaining two
games. the south end crew expects
to start sunday on a winning ram
page that will wipe the Red Sox
ont of the picture.
Tn" Red Son, on the other hand,
fresh from their victory over the
Facons a few Sundays ago are Just
as confident that they will complete
the series in two games.
Berg will most probably draw the
pitching assignment for the torbin
Rcd SoN while the kensington choice
lbs between Bruno KAMA, Charlie

cnt outlook, it looks like a toss-up
between the teams with the team
that gets the pitching coming out on
