Expect Victory Fete. In the event that the:decision is a} favorable one, which dll the facts would warrant but which the known} prejudice of Judge Thayer makes un- | likely, the meeting will be a celebra-| tion of victory and a pledge to Sacco | {and Vanzetti that New York labor will not cease its work on their behalf un- til they are vindicated and liberated. The slogan of the committee is that Sacco and Vanzetti must not suffer the fate of Mooney and Billings. They must not be commuted to life im- prisonment and forgotten. A new trial will result in an acquittal and free- dom. Nothing less will-satisfy labor. Prepare For Worst. However, those who have partic- ipated in the long, bitter struggle of six years to save Sacco and Vanzetti has no false illusions about justice in the worst will be unfavorable and a new trial will again be denied. As.soon as such a decision is announced, New York. la- bor will reply with a monster protest meeting to re-affirm their solidarity with Sacco and Vanzetti and their de- termination to save them from the electric chair. The final struggle will begin. It will be the life and death struggle for these two innocent work- ers, U. S.

Employment: on Rise but Behind the Figure of Last Year Employment in Massachusetts’ fac- tories gained 4.3 per cent in August compared with July, according to the monthly statement of the state de- partment of labor. But in spite of this gain the number of workers on the payrolls is still more than 2% per’ cent below the’level of August, 1925. And it is 17% per cent below normal as determined by the average number of factory workers employed in the period 1919-1923, The August improvement in total wages was even better, amounting to 5.8 per cent. This meant a slight in- crease in the average weekly wage from $24.05 to $24.38, The four important industries which contributed largely to the August gain were cotton goods, rubber foot- Wear, boots and shoes and automo- biles.

It omits any discussion of the per- centage of this sum to either the total capitalization of these industries or the average annual earnings of the stock to the employe-owner, But quoting from the plea the mining con- gress made to the senate finance com- mittee for favors in the tax bill last winter, the journal emphasizes the “stabilizing influence of the selling of small bits of stock to employes.” “This Revolution” Discourages Bol- shevism. “It is a sure cure for radicalism,” it declares, “It is being increasingly recognized that one who owns nothing has nothing to lose but everything to gain by radical change. Thus such @ person affords fertile soil in which to sow seeds of discontent. If, there- fore, to discourage radicalism and bol- shevism is sound, this new economic revolution should be safeguarded and encouraged in every possible way.” “If employe ownership of stock has helped to solve the labor question in other industries,” it inquires, “why should it not be a good thing for the mining industry?” Must Be Gentle on Taxes. In view of the generous treatment given the mine owners by the senate finance cemmittee it is to be assuined that these arguments met with sena- torial approtal. The committee was cordial toward any theory which would justify reduction of federal tax- ation affecting the profits of big cor- porations. The trend of the employe- ownership argument is that the divi- dends of the employe stockholders must not be taxed and hence the cor- porations must be gently dealt with, Senator Frazier Almost Makes Us Dizzy With His Corn-Fed Diplomacy PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 11.—Giovanni Lynn Frazier of North Dakota has left the capital to campaign in his home state for candidates on two tickets— the republican and the farmer-labor.

The annual report shows a net income after all charges amounting to $14,296,611, Compared with $13,771,976 for the previous year. Largest Profit in History. The 1926 profit is the largest in the history of the company. It gives ‘the stockholders a return of $10.58 a share on the $100-par stock. This is the third year in succession and the seventh out of the last 10 years in which the stockholders of this con- cern have made over,10 per cent. For the 10-year period the total return to stockholders amounts to 92,8 per cent. Pullman stock has always been closely held by the topmost circle of American wealth centering around the House of Morgan. J. P, Morgan | is himself a director. So is Harold S. Vanderbilt.

From time to time these multi-mil- lionaires have distributed to them- selves Pullman stock dividends until today they hold about 2% shares for each one originally purchased. On their real investment the 1926 return amounts to 26 per cent while the 10 year profit is a return of more than 225 per cent on the money they actu- ally put into the business.
