by members of the International
Labor Defense in their own shops
and preparations we're made to at
tend the giant rally in a body.
During the entire afternoon the
telephones of the Daily Worker
and international Labor Defense
were flooded with queries as to
whether or not the demonstration
was to take place despite the rain.
A hurried consultation Of the of
ficials of the New York section of
the /. L. D. held at an eleventh hour
resulted in the decision to postpone
the meeting until today. Conf
dence was expressed that the mag
nitude of today's demonstration
would be increased as a result Of
the delay under the circumstances.
In a statement issued by Rose
Baron, l. L. D. local secretary late
yesterday afternoon, she pointed out
that the holding of the memorial
meeting on August % would be on
the correct anniversary of the
death of the two martyrs inasmuch
as Sacco and Vanzetti were exc
cuted a few minutes after midnight
of August o."
