Herr Lore's Source of Information

FTER being exposed and plored by the Daily Worker
for printing in his Volkzeitung letter forged in the
of Bartholomew Vanzett containing attack the
international Labor Defense Ludwig Lore tried to evade
the issue by the following explanation:
Not the volkzeitung but the Road Freedom,
archst monthly published yanze letter the of
which being vouchd for by his friends and comrades
Then the Vokzeung adds in brackets photostat copy)
This feeble and miserable apology does not alter word
that published about the apostat Lores publication of
excerpts from the alleged Vanzet letter The explanation
that Lore copied it from the anarchist rag he Road to
Freedom makes his crime against the working class all the
more Infamous The Road to Freedom is veritable
cepace for fogees and lies of every variety publishes
authentic every SANDER that be concotd against the
Soviet Union The fact that Lore quotes with approval such
open and avowed and agents of mper
asm indicates the depth to which he has sunk And when
he prints forged letter attributed to Vanzetti who
murdered by the capitalist supports all honest
workers will hold him in contempt.
Lore further tries to defend himself against exposure
of his latest perfdy by publishing lie the effect that the
author of the editorial attacking him time expelled
from the Communist Party On other occasions
repeated that bareaced e that did have the
slightest foundation in fact The last time he published that
fairy tale he roundy denounced the columns
Daily Worker by Comrade C. E. Ruthenberg Publishing
SANDERS against those who expose him will not blind the
workers to the service Lore is rendering the capitalist
Nor will it salvage his political bankruptcy.
But Lore lies notorious The mere fact that he and
his Vokzeung lies about the working class movement is of
Importance whatsoever What is important this case
is that Lore deliberately lies about the Sacco and Vanzett
in order to impose upon the Gatona defense the
blight of liberal and anarchist capuation the capitalist
class and capitalist courts that resulted and Van
zet being burned alive in the electric chair at Charestown
Mass, two years ago.
We say to Lore the anarchists and the liberals and
yellow socialists and all the rest of those who would try to
delude the with notions of capitalist iustice You
who helped the way for the murder of Sacco and Van
zett by dscouragng class action will not be able to repeat
subserviency to the capitalist hangmen in case
the Gastonia prisoners.
Lore like that other lackey of the bourgeose the Rev.
Norman Thomas would rather workers go the electric
chair than to capitalist justice dscredted and defeated
before the mass action of the working class.
