The denial of the appeal for a new trial for Sacco and Vanzetti by the decision of such a brazen class character that it removes the last vestige of doubt that these two workers are to be murdered to satisfy the vengeance of the system which they challenged even tho every impartial authority who has examined the evidence holds them innocent, must meet with a thunderous and determined response from the American labor movement. soomreemnsarterrene DCItONS Business Manager Advertising rates on application UNDER WAY IN SOUTH DAKOTA Knutson and Tom Ayres Tour State By JOHN GABRIEL SALTIS. (Special to The Daily Worker) CHESTER, 8. D., Oct, 25. — The Farmer-Labor Party campaign in this tate is now forging ahead with full steam, Alfred Knutson and Tom Ay- res, the Farmer-Labor Party guberna- torial candidate, are holding splen- did meetings in.all sections. of the State, which is. divided between the seasoned campaigners of the farmer- jlabor party. For. the first time in |many years, Miss Alice Lorraine Daly is not on the rostrum, due to a re- cent illness, This is quite a handicap to the farmer-laborites as she is a great favorite with the masses of this state. However, she is doing con- {siderahle directing in the campaign. There were those in the ranks and among the leaders of labor} As the issues are being hammered who believed that the Massachusetts courts would not dare to deny |»ome of the farmer-labor batteries, the appeal for a new trial in the face of new and coriclusive evidence jand the producers mobilized for the farmer-labor ticket, the capitalist pol- of innocence. But the fact that secret service agents of the national |jticians are planning desperately and government were found to be involved in framing up Sacco and Van- retti seems only to have strengthened the determination of the rulers of Massachusetts to glut their taste for the blood of militant) workers. Sacco and Vanzetti face the electric chair. for six long years, but now the route to its hot and hungry embrace has been shortened. Sacco and Vanzetti will be murdered if the labor movement If they are murdered’ without the labor movement throwing its whole weight against the conspiracy | and the conspirators we may be sure that other cases involving other worters will develop with startling rapidity. The decision of Jndge Thayer shows that American capitalism does not act quickly and decisively. looks upon this as a test case. We can accept this estimate but we do not accept the decision. Sacco and Vanzetti must not die and that they may not be mur- dered there must be organized such a protest as this country has never seen before. Against the open and cynical demand for the lives of these two workers innocent of any crime except a healthy hatred of cap- italism and all its works, the labor movement must demand not only a new trial but the speedy punishment of the whole gang of per- jurers, prosecutors, spies and other capitalist agents who have made | the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti a living hell for six years, and who have the effrontery now to announce to the world their intention to! make the blackened corpses of these workers a symbol of the justice capitalism metes out to members of the working class who fight the hattle of their class. With modern improvements, the capitalist class of America They have faced it jare resorting to their well-known methods of corrupting certain leaders identified with the farmers, in order to defeat Tom Ayers, On Monday last. the capitalist pol- ticans pulled one of their “surpris- es.” Mr. Batcheledr, who is presi- dent of the Farmers Union of this state, has issued a circular letter to ithe locals, in which he instructs the rank and file to support Bulow, the democratic candidate for igiovernor. This is now causing a furore among the membership of the Farmers’ Un- ion, as Bulow is the cat's paw of Senators Norbeck and McMasters, who are in alliance with him to re- store their dethroned pie-carders at Pierre. It is also recalled that Batch- elder did the same thing far Coolidge two years ago. The revolt is on against him. It is clear that the capitalists will not stop with Batcheldey The farmer- labor forces are expecting something torcome out, from certain labor fak- ers, as the situation is becoming fay- orable to the farmer-labor party. ‘The farmers are evincing an inter- est in what their brothers in the Un- ion of Socialist Soviet Republics are doing.

AIMEE FAINTS: WHEN WRITING IS IDENTIFIED Her Ill LOS ANGELES, Oct, 25. — That | Aimiee Semple McPherson is attempt-| ing to use her “evangelical bag of tricks” to create bias in her favor in her trial on the charge of, conspiracy is the concensus here, following hér{ sensational demonstration in court yesterday in connection with her al- leged illness. rs Aimee fainted in court and had to be carried out on astretcher. Her attorney announced that shg is suffer- ing from an abscess, on. -her ‘knee, which is a result ofa prick of a pin or tack on a court seat. May Not Appear. It is not known whether she will ap- pear in court today, it being declared that her physicians advised her against it. Her healing powers, some remark, evidently are not as potent on herself, as she claims they are on her “disciples of the four-square gospel.” Collapses at Adversity. Aimee collapsed just after the state rested its case, following testimony of Milton Carson, handwriting expert that handwriting found on grocery slips in the Carmel-by-the-sea cottage was that of Mrs, McPherson, Carlson swore that the same hand that penned the sermon “Light and Darkness” on May 18, the last one Mrs. McPherson delivered before her disappearance, also penned the daily orders for the groceries for the “mys- terious man and woman” at~ Carmel cottage. Identifies Ormiston’s Writing, He also indentifled the writing of Ormiston, the radio operator, as being identical with the handwriting of the man who signed an order for elec- tricity to be supplied the cottage, and who signed the hotel register at San Luis Obispo for a room for “Mr. and Mrs, Gibson.” Says Walk Possible, The first witness for the defense was W. E. Cross, Arizona mining man, who contended that it was pos- sible for Aimee to have made her desert “trip.” The defense felt that his testimony refuted that of the state that the walk, was impossible, considering Mrs. McPherson’s condition. AUTO EARNINGS ARE LAID OFF Shrinking of profits in the auto- mobile industry “due to increased competition and slackening of trade” is evidenced in the earning reports given out by two major factors of the industry, the Yellow Truck and Manu- facturing company and the Chrysler corporation, Can’t Meet Dividend. The Yellow company reported a net income of $163,946 for the three months ending September 30. This in- come fell nearly $100,000 below the dividend requirement on the 7 per cent cumulative preferred, it is report- ed. The dividend required on the $15,000,000 preferred stock issue is $262,000. The net income of the Chrysler com- pany was reported at $3,873,000, which will give to common stock, after pre- ferred, $1.27. This is compared to $1.65 that was received on. common prior to this quarter, and with $2.82 on com- mon the same period last year. Increase Unemployed. Unemployment in Detroit. was in- creased by 3,406 persons last week, re- ports of the manufacturers show. The total number employed now stands at 224,808, or 41,000 below the number employed last year. These figures seem to show that the manufacturers themselves are giving evidence that Ford’s celebrated 5-day week was not philanthropy, after all, inspired by social ideals,. | || CURRENT EVENTS | By T.

Ruthenberg, general secretary of the Workers (Communist Party as speaker, his subject being “Why We Need 4 Farmer Labor Party.” Don’t Like Purpose.

The Workers (Communist) Party in Minneapolis has today called upon all its members and sympathizers to redouble their efforts for the success of the meeting, to each sell 20 tick- ets where they sold 10 before, to cover the city with announcements of the meeting and to produce the best mass meeting ever held in the Twin Cities. SOVIETS EXPEL Y,M.G,A. LEADER FROM COUNTRY BERLIN, Oct. 25.—Harry D. Ander- son of Los Angeles has arrived in Ber- lin after a hurried departure from Moscow, having been ordered expelled as the representative of the Y. M. C.A. and his property confiscated. Anderson was given 24 hours in which to leave Russia. The expulsion of Anderson virtually ends the work of the Y. M. C. A. in Russia.
