prisoners now confined in the prisons
| of American capitalism. Special at
tention was given to those labor men
whose cases have almost been for
gotten by the labor movement and
who must still serve long terms, some
of them for life, for their activities IN
the working class movement. To all
the men in prison, the conference sent
warm greetings, expressing its hope
that they would be speedily released
to resume their place in the move
ment from which they were snatched
by capitalist jailers.
Support was also pledged to con-
tinue the policy of the l. l.. D. in ex-
tending fraternal aid to workers in
other countries who are victimized and
prosecuted for labor and revolutionary
activities. The reign of terror that
exists in such countries as Poland,
Lithuania, Bulgaria, Ju G o-Slavia,
Italy, Spain, Hungary, China and
elsewhere was vigorously denounced
by the conference in special resolu-
ton.
Debs- Ruthenberg Deaths LabOr's Loss
Separate resolutions were adopted
on the death of Eugene V. Debs and
C. E. Ruthenberg, both of whom were
members of the National Committee
of International Labor Defense. "The
working class movement, and the l..
L. D. in particular, suffered a great
| loss in the death of these two fighters
whose militant and unyielding sup
port of the deathless cause of labor
brought them so often to the CAPT
talist prison CELL" said the confer
enee.
The conference also pledged itself
to fight in the spirit of the martyrs
of Boston and Haymarket. "When
the names and memories of their
executioners shall long have been
forgotten, or recalled only to be
scorned and hated, the names of
Sacco, Vanzetti, Parsons, Spies
Engel, Fischer and Lang will still be
deathless. They are an immortal guide
to the struggling masses, and con-
slant source of inspiration"
Greet Colorado Miners.
The Colorado striking miners were
greeted in one of the resolutions
adopted, and the best wishes of the
conference sent to them for speedy
and victorious conclusion of the strug-
gle against the Rockefeller Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company.

resolutions and decisions of the previ-
Gus conferences, instructing the in
coming executive committee to fol-
low the same main line that had been
followed prior to the conference. A
