Trying to Lynch the Law.

Trying to Lynch the Law.
Yesterday sympathizers with Sacco
and Vanzetti, the Italians who have
been convicted and sentenced to death
for the murder of a paymaster and his
guard in Massachusetts. walked out
on a one-hour strike in New York as
a means of protesting against their
execution. Three meetings were held.
at two of which resolutions were
passed condemning the conviction OF
these men and demanding that they
be set free. A. another meeting held
in Union Square and attended by
many thousands a riot occurred when
a crowd Of radicals, communists,
sought to force their leader to the
speakers platform for an address.
Police reserves were called and the
meeting was dispersed, not because of
its object or the proceedings under
the regular program, but on account
of the fighting that ensued when Gold.
the communist leader. was pushed off
thrust by his supporters.
At the meetings that were not in.
terrupted speakers pointedly referred
to a possible general strike If Sacco
and vanzetti are not freed. The chair
man at one meeting said that if they
were sent to the chair such strike
would result as would shake the Ma.
ton to it's foundations" At another
meeting every speaker sought to i'm
press upon his hearers that they
might soon be called upon to walk out
to enforce their demands for the lib
Grafton of the two men and to remain
out until liberation should be an &C.
complished fact. These references to
a general walkout were received with
enthusiasm.
These meetings and the threats of
general strike will probably not influ-

taking review of the Sacco-Vanzetti
case. He has reprieved the men in
order to have ample time in which to
study the evidence. to weigh the argu-
ments and to analyze the decisions of
the courts that have passed upon the
question of guilt. Should there be
doubt in his mind Of the justice of
their conviction. he will probably set
these men free regardless of any
clamor or sinister possibility of indus.
trial disturbance.
America has been the scene Of many
outrages in the name Of mob justice.
Lynch law has prevailed in some sec.
tions in protest against the slow pro.
cedure of the courts. Many innocent
men have been executed by mobs in
the heat Of passion. Now there is an
other form Of mob law, trial by mass
meeting. There is a danger in this
case that the law will be lynched by
mass coercion. If these men who are
accused and have been convicted are
in fact guilty, as the. courts of Massa.
chusetts have declared. they should be
put to death, even though their exc
cution should result in suspension Of
work by thousands in the industrial
centers Of this country. 1t may, how.
ever, be regarded as well assured that
IL Gov. Fulier's decision is adverse to
Sacco and vanzetti and the men are
executed and a general strike should
be called by the radicals, it would not
be Joined by the mass Of American
working men, who are law-abiding and
who are fully aware that this case is
for red propaganda in the United
States.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Old NOyeIists.
In days so long ago a writer found a
quill
And made himself pen. with patient
skill.
In silence he his sentences would
trace,
And slowly toll to give them strength
and grace.
The stout typewriter clicks both night
and day.
1t rings a bell. then clatters on it's
way.
And says, when rough style leaves the
reader vexed.
Look at the pictures; never mind the
text
If grammar does not seem quite up
to form,
Let not your indignation grow too
warm.
Old handmade work with more respect
Is seen
Than patterns that are turned out by
machine.
