blood because Of their opinions.
Rose Baron, secretary of the New
DIRK Branch of the international

ed on the square, draped in black.

Vanzetti will be hung. The demons
tration will begin at p. m. before
evening, and more than 1000 work
ers from all parts of New York, are
expected to attend.

'In connection with this very i'm

ell is taking into consideration the
fact that the Candidates of the two
great political parties for the presi-
dency Of the United States will
deliver their speeches of acceptance
in the month of August, we firmly
exnect that each of them, in these
addresses, will make declarations of
great significance to labor.
eve anticipate that they will ex-
press their opinions regarding in
junction relief legislation, and will
amplify the declarations of the plat
forms of the political parties re-
lating to labor and labor questions.
We will await with very great in
terest the expressions of each of the
candidates, reserving to ourselves a
final decision regarding our future
policy during the remainder of the
9mpaign."
II Workers carrying on the struggle

bosses on the other hand are learning
more and more definitely that only
the Workers School conducted by
the Workers (Communist) has the
right program and instruction for
the working class. The Workers
School has been increasing in the
number of it's students and influence
throughout the country.
The council also voted to with
draw support from Brookwood La
Dor College, of Katonah, on the
grounds that the institution has been
found to be Communistic.

There are no Communists on the

dowed by the Carnegie Foundation.

LAUNCH DRIVE
. FOR MOONEY AND
BILLINGS IN N. Y.
Labor Defense Picnic
This Saturday

The fight to free Tom Mooney
and Warren X. Billings, victims of
one Of the most notorious frame-ups
in labor, history, will be officially
launched in New York City at the
outing of the New York Section of
the international Labor Defense in
Pleasant Bay Park Saturday.
Part of the proceeds Of this out
ing will be use to start an extensive,
city wide campaign, embracing
every section of the labor movement,
that will demand the immediate re-
lease of Tom Mooney and Billings,
who for IL years have been behind
the bars for their devotion to the
workingclass. The funds that will
be provided by the l. L. D. outing
will also be used to defend striking
fruit and grocery clerks and to aid
other victims Of the class war and
their families.
Mass Scene.
Symbolizing the fight to free
Mooney and Billings and other class
war prisoners will be a mass scene
that will be one of the chief fea-
lures of the outing. Many workers
will take part in this scene which
will be an expression of the militant
spirit of the affair.
Another unique feature of the
outing will be the taking of moving
pictures of the various activities.
The several thousand workers that
are expected at the affair will help
to make movie that will later be
shown in various parts of the coun-
try.
The program for the outing is
being arranged so that every person
will have something to interest him
or her every minute of the time.
Other numbers included are athlet-
les and games, a torch light parade,
open-air dancing with music by a
leading jazz band and generous re-
freshments. Starting at IL noon,
the affair will last until the late
hours of the night.
Tickets for the outing are on sale
at the office of the New York Sec
ton of the l. L. D., 799 Broadway,
room 422, and at the Workers Cen
ter, 1928 Union Square.

Deadly Planes Prepared

LONDON, Aug. ACCORDING to
the account of an Aeronautical ex-
pert who writes in the Daily Mail
the English and French war depart
ments are experimenting on a new
type of plane, that invisible and
noiseless, will be able to make its
way far into enemy territory and
drop poison bombs that will be able
to destroy city at a time.
The experiments have already sue
ceeded in producing a noiseless en-
CINE and a mist of dull greenish
color that will enable the plane to
travel unseen and unheard.

unqualified development of Frances

as fact both by conservative and

REACTION BANGS MARKET DEALINGS
Motors Continue to Loee Ground
 Despite Rspolts

New York, Jan. ls N>-Reaction- ary price tendencies predominated In today's stock market. which witt messed the elimination of many weakened speculative accounts. De- cltnes in most of the standard in. dustrials and rails were limited to a point or two. but several of the high priced pool specialties broke 3 to 2 points. Two or three rallies started in the early trading fell flat.
 Call money appeared in plentiful supply at the renewal figure of { per cent but banks called about &C., 000.0 in loans, presumably to re- pair the deficit shown in last satur- days clearing house statement. In the absence of any adverse news de. vel0pments, the reaction was attri- buted to weakened technical condi- tons in the market. The falling off in trading probably was due to com. mission house advices suggesting a waiting attitude for the time being on the part of traders.
 Despite reassuring statements of automobile executives. motors con. tnued to lose ground on fears of reduced profits through recent price cuts. One block of 10000 shares of General Motors changed hands at 131: Jordan touched . new low rec ord at 3, and Hupp sold off 2 points. U. s. Steel common touched l4l b-S the lowest price in about . month. but Youngstown showed independent street. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe broke 2 points and Sloss Sheffield. Texas & Pacific. St. Louis Southwestern and Atchison suffered the sharpest declines in the railroad group.
