Cannon, secretary of I. L. D., said, “It is developing into the most imposing protest movement since the Moyer-Haywood-Pettibone case. The American workers are waking up to the real significance of the attempt to legally murder Sacco and Vanzetti. The old battlecry of the Moyer-Hay- wood movement is being raised again with real meaning: ‘If Sacco and Van- zetti die, twenty million workers will know the reason why!’” The first quarter of;a million leaf- lets appealing to Aménican workers to save Sacco and Vanzetti, issued by International Labor Defense, have al- ready been shipped out to the various cities. The appeal of Eugene V. Debs to American labor, willalso be printed in leaflets form by Ly)L. D. and dis- tributed to workers everywhere in hundreds of thousands of copies. A striking large poster» which vividly gives the essence of the case and the danger to the two workers in Massa- chusetts, drawn by labor’s artist, Fred Ellis, is also being printed and will soon be found in every meeting place of workers in this country, a grim and graphic reminder of the menace to the life and freedom of their two brothers.

It is one of the issues on which in- creasing masses can be rallied for the Labor Party under the standards of independent political action. Increasing vigilance on every hand! Greater efforts in the building of the Councils for the Protection of the For- eign-Born. More energy in the drive for the Labor Party. DON'T MISS THE T.U.E. L.
