Big World Shipments and Unre.

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May with unfavor-
able weather both in the Northwest
and Southwest, wheat averaged higher
today during the early dealings. Large
world shipments and relatively unre-
sponsive Liverpool quotations failed to
act as an offset. Opening at u decline

ing to the initial range.
Further delays to Spring wheat
seeding were indicated by reports to-
day of widespread heavy rains max
ing roads impossible at places. Snow
and sleet were also reported at nu-
tnerous points. On the other hand
Winter wheat crop conditions pointed
to increased deterioration in the
Southwest and advices were received
telling of heavy abandonment of
acreage in Texas from Fort Worth
to Amarillo.
Noticeable weakness shown at
times today by corn and oats was
ascribed to selling based on the
Illinois legislative outlook. Action Of
the Illinois Senate in adopting bill
10 put the Chicago Board of Trade
under State control appeared to be
having n far-reaching effect, result
ing especially in liquidating sales OF
future deliveries of corn.

.CACCO and VANZETTI have been murdered.
ID The lifeless, bloody bodies of two brave men
have been thrown at the feet of the working
class whose companions they were. Two leaders
of the workers have been murdered by the cap
itaIst class of Amerca-murdered as sign of
the contempt and hatred and fear which the cap
italst class feels for the working class.
This is murder under the forms of capitalist
law. 1t is the law of capitalist dictatorship, now
exposed to the eyes of the working class of the
world, stripped of the hypocrisy of "a fair trial.
THEY say they have executed two anarch-
i lists" for crime. But what the capitalist
courts and the capitalist class have done, is to
issue an insult and challenge to the working
class of America and the world. The electric
current which tortured and destroyed Sacco and
Vanzetti, conveyed to the workers of this and all
countries the declaration of intensified class war
of American capital against labor. 1t served
notice that American capitalism, now grown
more wealthy and more powerful, more arrogant
and cruel than any other ruling class that the
world has ever known, intends to use free hand
for the ruthless determination of all which re-
sists its power.
1t is not question of two individuals lives;
Sacco and Vanzetti are murdered because they
had become symbols of the organization and the
struggles of the working class against the cap
italists. Their execution is the forerunner of
still more arrogant and ruthless offensives
against the trade unions, against all workers or
ganizations and especially against the militant
section of the workers.
The decision of Governor Fuller, which was
really not decision only of Governor Fuller,
but especially of his masters, the powerful finan-
ciaI and industrial capitalists of whom he is but

the cringing seryant.-this decision is related to
all of the struggles of the workers of the pres
ent time, and to the particular stage of American
imperialism. The decision to execute the work
ing class martyrs is related to the present drive
to destroy the United Mine Workers Union. In
Ohio troops are now turned loose upon the strik-
ing coal miners. 1t is related to the capitalist
war against the needle workers in New York.
THIS monstrous crime shows the real charac-
l. ter of American justice. 1t is the class JUS
tice of the capitalist class. If many workers
have wondered how it was possible to condemn
these two brave men to death in the face of the
public knowledge that they were innocent, this
was only because such workers did not under
stand that capitalist justice means merely the
merciless suppression of the working class, in
order to help the capitalist class to pile up wealth
thru the exploitation of labor. The murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti will open the eyes of many
millions of workers to American justice-capi-
talist class justice.
american capital is powerful and can destroy
its enemies says Fuller, the flunky and mouth
piece of his class. But millions of workers look
on and learn to understand and to hate the enc
mics and exploiters and murderers of their class.
In every country of the world the honest work
ing class, and even sections of the middle bour-
geois spit in the face of American capitalism.
Every American embassy, every American con-
sulate and every American business establish
ment in foreign countries, stands out before the
workers of those countries as house of shame.
Thus the exploited classes of the whole world
are learning of the danger they face in the ris-
ing power of American Imperialism. They are

Speed up traffic, do not hinder it..
That is the slogan that is being rap
idly adopted today. Cars are better.
Fifty miles an hour on the open road
with little or no other traffic is safer
today than twenty-five miles an hour
under similar conditions was a few
years ago. Four-wheel brakes, balloon
tires, sturdier steering control and
modern regulation, coupled. of course,
with intelligence of driving, is the
formula for frictionless traffic. And
no State should ignore this recipe.
