Employers’ Move. This move was taken Saturday by the employers immediately following the police court hearing on thevarrest of pickets Friday morning, following a | fight between the strikers and the seabs. Th employers suggested that the concillators of the department of labor be asked to arbitrate the strike. Vioe-President Nelson of the federe- tion, who represented the strikers at the hearing, agreed to a meeting on Monday.

The Chicago delegation formed in a line at the station and marched two abreast to the Debs home, They viewed the casket which lay in the parlor, Many eyes were dimmed with tears as they filed silently and with bowed heads past the body. It was hard to realize that this was the 'Gene | who electrified hundreds of thousands of workers with his flery oratory from thousands of platforms thruout his long career in the revolutionary move- ment It is estimated that approximately 5,000 workers viewed the body on Friday evening while dit lay in state in the Labor Temple, At least as many listened to the speakers at the services on Saturday afternoon, Speeches Out of Harmony. Considerable criticism was levelled at the national executive committee of the socialist party for the manner in which the services were conducted. The speeches, with the possible ex- ception of William A, Cunnea’s, were entirely out of harmony with the fierce hatred for capitalism that, burned in the heart of Eugene V. Debs. And the committee took care that the name of Soviet Russia would not be heard, tho none loved the Workers’ Republic better than did the departed leader. Ralph Chaplin, a close friend of Debs, and like Debs, an ex-class war prisoner, requested the committee to give Rev. David Rhys Williams, of the 1. L. D., permission to say*a few words of appreciation of Debs in behalf of the International Labor Defense, of which organization Debs was an ex- ecutive committee member and an en- thusiastic supporter. The committee refused this request. In fact, with the exception of vague references to Debs’ an_i-war record, hardly a word was uttered by ithe speakers of the things that Debs held dearest to his heart, j “No greater piece of vandalism was ever committed over the grave of a revolutionary leader,” was the com- ce were.tried. and re-] ment made by a delegate.

O, BENTALL. (Special to The Daily Worker) PHILADEDPHIA, Pa. Oct. 24— Seven pickets were arrested near the Philadelphia Carpet Company factory, where a husky strike has been on for four weeks. The cop who made the arrest proved &@ very poor witness when he came Pbetore the magistrate. “What were the strikers doing when yeu arrested them?” asked the attor- ney for the pickets. “They were blocking traffic,” an- swered the cop, “Were they. marching?” “No,” said the flustered bluecoat. “Were they standing still?” asked the attorney, “No, they were not standing still,” came the reply, “If they were neither walking nor standing still, what were they doing?” “I don’t know, I.was just ordered to make the arrest,” admitted the cos- sack, The arrest of these seven pickets, most of whom were young workers, was apparently pulled in order to get material for the hearing of an injunc+ tion that was issued over a week ago, but which, for lack of reason for mak- ing it permanent, has been hung on the strikers without a hearing. The case was dismissed and the strikers warned to net walk, or stand, or fly at, or near, or be in the prox- imity of the said Philadelphia Carpet Company shop. At all of which the pickets smiled and made ready to walk and stand and fly wherever and whenever they felt they cared. to do so, . The strike is the result of a 15 per cent wage cut imposed by the Phila- delphia Carpet Company. This is the first wedge in the drive of the open- shoppers to break up’ the union of the carpet workers, which is the best organized of any union in PAiladel- phia, having in it 100 per cent of the carpet weavers in this city, The strikers demand the removal of the wage cut and recognition of the union. The bosses declare that they will no longer recognize the union, but will deal with each indi- vidual who comes back to work. ‘This particular factory was chosen to start the job of breaking up the union, and if the bosses sutceed here all other carpet factories will cut the wages and refuse Ta cost with the union. Only a few scabs have been secured so far. Some of them have already left and joined the strikers and are now on the piclfet line. Among the most active pickets are the young workers, They lead the line and sing songs of cheer. The scabs are hauled to and from the shop in funeral wagons furnished by the Heinel Bros., 3487 N. Broad street, at $60 a day. BED MAKERS’ STRIKE GOING 100%, STRONG of the Mattress, Box Spring and Spring Bedmakers’ Union against the Superior Felt and Bedding company of 2447 Roosevelt road is still on 100 per cent, with militant picketing going on effectively against the company’s ef- forts to mobilize scabs, Almost all the strikers are Negroes, and these have shown excellent fight- ing spirit on the picket line, worthy of any trade union struggle. More Cops Than Scabs. About two dozen private detectives and police are guarding ten or eleven scabs, who scurry like rats when they see a union man, Effective picketing has stopped the taxi loads of prospective scabs, hired thru employment agencies. These guarded by cops melt away when they see the picket Hne, and only a few who stick to scabbing are escorted in- to the factory by burly police, like prisoners going to jail. Company Hard Hit. The company has asked the men to come back on the conditions, but this was refused, demand is recognition of the While the manager, J. J.

In spite of the mountain of facts, proving the innocence of these two workers of the crimes charged against them, the judictal lackey of the profit bandits hands down his de- cision. bolstering the anti-labor frame-up of the’ master class. Judge Thayer is loyal to the faith that his class has placed in him. ore But the end is not yet. The eix years’ fight for the lives of Sacco and Masai goes on. But. it must not on aimlessly and half- haastetty. It must develop into a mighty challenge that will loosen the grip of “the New England gang” upon the throats of our com- rades, Sacco and Vanzettt have faith in tMe working class. This faith has buoyed them up during their years of imprisonment. The workers everywhere, men, women and chil- dren, must prove loyal to that faith, just as loyal as Judge Thayer has shown himself to the trust put in him by the shoe factory and tertile mill owners in Massachusetts, who war to the death against the hun- dreds of thousands of wage slaves massed in their mills and factories. The cold-blooded effort, unswerving over a period of six years, to take the Ives of Sacco and Vanzetti, is but part of that war, that has flared in great industrial struggles at Law- rence, Haverhill, Brockton and else- where, whenever labor began to strike at ite chains, Judge Thayer in his decision says that Celestino Madeiros, the 24- years-old youth sentenced to die for an alleged murder committed in the ‘Wrentham National Bank robbery, is “a crook and a liar whose word cannot be taken.” Thayer takes the word of Joe Morelli, the frgght car thief of Providence, R. I., as against the word of Celestino Madeiros, drawn into a criminal career at the age, of 18 under the tutelage of the Morelli gangsters. Judge Thayer, therefore, cannot help but stamp himself with the same criminal brand. He has developed an alliance with the Morelli gang. He becomes the protecting shield of the Morellis, to hide the truth and defeat the ends of justice in order that the profit system may take the lives of two innocent workers. Judge Thayer must have feared the new trial that would haye brought out, into the clear light of day, his own crooked record in the conduct of this historic case. ‘ It must be a conscienceless cap- italist judge indeed who brands as “crook” a 24-year-old youth who never had a chance under the ruth- less rule of the robber system as it is found in the New England states.

If it is crooked to shield the real criminals in the South Braintree crime then Judge Webster Thayer is a condemned “crook,” be- side whom the worst Morelli gang- ster muSt appear lily White, aa ie, Jurge Thayer also charges in his decision that Madeiros’ is a “liar.” Then why doesn‘t the proud “Com- monwealth of Massachusetts” and the United ‘States government that stand back of Judge Thayer prove Madeiros a “liar”? Even a snake can hiss, But that doesn’t prove anything, except possibly in a cap- italist court. Everything that Madeiros now claims, even the po- Nice agents of Massachusetts and Washington admit they suspected six years ago. Attorney William G. Thompson, counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti, shows there is plenty of evidence on which to bring the Morelli gang to trial for the South Braintree crime. If Judge Thayer is so anxious to prove Madeiros a “liar,” why doesn’t he join in bring- ing the Morelli gang to trial for the South Braintree affair. He doesn’t dare because he knows that that other man is telling the truth. Such a liar is Judge Thayer. Judge Thayer brings his degision within the scope of extreme ridicule when he declares that the state- ments of the two former government agents are “unimportant.” It was these statements of the two ex- agents of the department of justice, Lawrence Letherman and Fred J. Weyand, who probably committed their first act of decency when they got out of the festering criminal nest misnamed the “department. of justice,” that showed the govern- ment officials never really believed either Sacco or Vanzetti guilty, but that they were radical workers and. the government wanted to “dispose of'them.” Any judge that can claim such statements are! unimportant ought to be sent to the psycopathic ward for serious and thoro invgstiga- tion as to his mental status. Labor must not be deceived by the rav- ings of this madman of capitalism. So 6s ‘The fight goes on. Judge Thayer has again denied the demand for a new trial. The case will again go before the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts on Jaw points, as the nature of the testimony cannot be gone into. If this: fails the fight goes up to the supreme court of the United States on a constitutional point. During these days ahead the American working class must de- velop that passion in the struggle for its own, that will force capital- ist justice to reverse itself and free the prisoners of the class war, Sacco and Vahzetti.

Branding these rumors a@s the usual tactics of employers, and the same as were used against the New York Fur Workers in thelr 17 weeks’ battle, Ben Gold, manager N. Y. joint board of Fur Workers laid down the proper discipline for striking workers. “In a struggle with employers,” he said, “there are no differences be- tween the leaders.
