PRESENT DAY WTTCHBURNERs

Inc wltchburners of Massachusetts are not all
dead! They showed again when two Italian i'm
migrants were put to death The cruelty which
was the chief characteristic of the Puritans again
showed itself in New England.
New England had the misfortune from the first
70 be peopled by narrow-minded and bigoted
population.
Despite what our histories say about the early
settlers OF that region, the early settlers of New
England were composed of narrow-minded fan
atics and the offscouring of English cities. The
things they did in the name of God in early DAYS
IN Massachusetts brand the then inhabitants as
being of a very low type
While the present day New Englanders have been
raised to higher level intellectually, mostly thru
the nfilteration of Irish and German blood thew
still exhibit streaks of ignorance and cr11eltv The
paternal traits of the mongrel crew that arrived
on the Mayflower and other boatloads of the
trashy fanatics of England has not been bred out
OF them but shows through the thin veneer If
Boston culture
massachusetts has again given vent to its blood
lust.
Nlcco Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti are dead
but as Sacco wrote his son Dante their ideas will
i've after them-their hopes for freedom and a
better life for all workers.
Boston prepared for the execution as though II
expected revolution. Armed in full, 800 uni
formed police guarded the stern and stout prav
walls OF Charlestown prison. Fifteen hundred 9TH
er police patrolled the town with volunteer grouns
OF American Legion men,
Machine guns, riot guns fixed bayonets, sweep-
ing searchhghts mounted on the prison roof, and
a high pressure fire hose were trained on the
streets surrounding the prison.
But the only violence that occurred was that in
slde the grim old prison where death-dealing shocks
OF electricity were sent through the living bodies
OF three men. With Sacco and Vanzetti died Celes-
1no Madeiros young Portuguese who confessed
participation in the crime of which Sacco and Van

Sacce and Vanzetti protested their innocence to
the end.
1t was all inconceivably brutal. And crooked to
the end-the frame-up of Sacco and Vanzetti. Up
to within hour of execution Gov. Alvan T. Full
er blandly received visitors and withheld his final
decision not to intervene All day long he had
been besieged by delegations and hundreds of
messages wired in pleading for at least clemency,
when there was such widespread doubt.
Fuller smiled, chaffed the newspaper men about
the weather. At 900 p. M, he received Mrs. Rose
Sacco and Miss LUCIA Vanzetti, who tried to ap-
peal to him as human being. With hypocritical
courtesy he talked to them but did not tell of his
lust for the blood of their kim
Later, Francis Fisher Kane, u S. district attor-
ney in Philadelphia who resigned in 1920 during
the red raid hysteria, went again to Fuller Kane
urged that Fuller look into the department of JUS
tlce files for the true explanation of this case
But the governor refused to investigate although
former federal agents have sworn the files should
contain evidence of a state-federa conspiracy to
railroad Sacco and Vanzett either to death or de-
portation.
Friends of the defense are convinced there was
collision of some sort between Fuller and U. s.
assistant attorney general George Farnum in
Washington. Farnum made a last hour offer to
Fuller or his Lowe-Stratton-G Grant advisory board
OF access to the files. Farnum's guarded state
ment admitted much that the defense has con-
tended about the federal departments part in the
case. President Lowell of Harvard also refused to
request the files
Massachusetts attorney general Arthur Reading
and other high officials repeatedly mised the bat
terry OF volunteer defense attorneys. Reading in
dictated another respite was coming, evidently in
an effort to stop further legal moves.
Former attorney general William Jackson of
New York and associates were ordered off the
grounds OF an airport where they went to get
plane for projected hop in connection with last
minute moves. An ex-naval officer EMPLOYED bv
the flight firm said to Jackson:
1t would give me pleasure to shoot you"
Yes, the lynching is over but the Spirit of Sacco
and Vanzetti still lives on.

Enormous Rail Profits Show
Only Slight Drop

NO hard luck blah on the part of
railroad arrangements is warranted
by the slight decline in the half years
profits compared with the first six
months of 1926. The profit total is
SCll sCupendous, representing a re-
turn OF more than so on the swollen
railroad valuation and giving stock
holders IN a majority of the standard
railroads returns on a par with those
OF the leading industrial corporations.
Railroad profits for the year end
ed June 30, 1927, totaled S472.611.O52
This as the smaller half of the year.
For the entire year official estimates
exceed $1,100,OO0,OO0. The 6-month
profit is $22,987, 1862 under the first
half of 1926 but exceeds the CORES
ponding figure for either 1925 or
1924. Railroad profits are running at
the rate of $3.50 on the inflated val
uation of S21,O50,000,00O.
Railroad gross income for the half
year amounted to S3,022, 1881, $3.50 com
pared with $3,035, 101 ,220 for the first
half of 1926. The reduction is ex-

u. S. DESTROYER
SHELLS CHINESE
FIRES ON TOWNS
More Fighting Around Marking
Gen Pei PaO San Deserts Three
Hundred Killed Near Marking.

Shanghai, Aug. 26.-The American
navy again took a hand in the fight
ing between the opposing Chinese
on the Yangtse river between Nan
king and Chinkiang, it was. learned
here today upon the arrival of the
U. S. destroyer Noa from Marking.
The Noa reported that while convoy
ing three British merchant ships from
Marking yesterday afternoon she
"had been obliged to shell the north
erners' position for ten minutes. I"
Many of the shells fell in thickly pop
ulated villages along the river.
Kill 300 NOrtherners.
Three hundred northern troops are
believed to have been drowned or
killed by rifle and machine gun fire
near Marking today when Marking
troops sank two troop laden boats in
the Yangtse river.
The nOrtherners were making an
attack against the Cantonese defend
ers of Marking, meanwhile trying to
force a passage of the river. A VIC
lent cross fire from the northerners'
artillery and machine guns indicated
that they intended to make another
attempt to force their way over the
river to storm the defences of Nan
king. The CanOnese prepared to re-
sist any fresh assaults to the utmost.
Fighting Increases.
Severe fighting between the north
ern and southern forces was reported
from the Chinkiang region as well as
from the Marking sector. Chinkiang
has been cut off from Marking.
Spies, operating from the northern
army, cut the railway line near Ant
ing, 15 miles from Shanghai, prevent
ing the passage of troop trains and
cutting off the retreat of the Nank-
ingese from Chinkiang.
Cross River.
Aided by fog northern forces NOV
ed out of Pukow towards Marking,
intending to land from river trans
ports at Hsiakwan. The movement
was covered by a violent lombard
ment and fusillades from machine
guns and rifles.
Northern troops that advanced
from Yangchow, forced a crossing of
the Yangtse and occupied Lungtan,
cutting the railway line.
The situation is further complicat-
ed for the southerners by the defec-
ton of three divisions, commanded by
General Pei Pao San, a former ad-
herent of Sun Chuan-fang. These
troops are stationed at Hangchow.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
LABOR

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2O,1927.
Mr.. Edwin H. Manson,
1906 Wilder Avenue,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Mr.. MansOn:-
The very distressing and most un-
satisfactory state of affairs which
now prevails among the organized la
Dor movement in Montana prompts
me to write you this letter. On July
9th | advised you that in my opinion
the decision of the recent Montana
State Federation of Labor convention
should be recognized and complied
with. 1t matters not how you NAV
feel or how your friends may feel re-
gardlng the decision of the cOnven-
ton. A majority of the delegates, af-
ter due deliberatiOn, decided that the
office of Secretary Treasurer should
be discontinued and that the President
OF the organization should direct and
administer the affairs Of the State
Federation of Labor in Montana.
Insofar as / am able to learn the
action of the convention was in con-
fOrmity with the laws and principles
of the Montana State Federation of
Labor and was constitutional in every
respect. The constitution cOnfers up
on the delegates in attendance at the
convention of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor authority to deter
mine questions of the kind referred
to and to outline and direct the prOce-
dure to be followed by officers of
Montana State Federation of Labor.
The American Federation of Labor
and its subordinate bodies are govern
ed by the rule of the majority, espe-
clally when the action taken by the
majority is in conformity with the
laws, rules and procedure.
If you maintain an attitude of Cd
position toward the action of the con-
ventiOn and if you refuse to recognize
the action of the majority of the dele
gates in attendance at the cOnven-
ton. you will, by such actions, create
confusion, unrest and internal strife.
In the interests of the organized
workers of the State of Montana. YOU
ought to yield to the will of the ma
JOrIty. | urge you to do this and to do
so at the earliest opportunity. I sin
cerely hope you will respond to this
suggestion in the true spirit of trade
miOnist and loyal member of the
organized labor movement.
Fraternally yours,
(signed)
WILLIAM GREEN, President.
