CHARGE BIAS IN CIVIL LIBERTIES STATEMENT ON: SACCO-VANZETTI DEMONSTRATION (Continued from page 1) the experience of the past few years it was evident that the great bulk of those who. would come to demonstrate would have no sympathy for the right wing leaders who have been inactive for the freedom of Sacco and Van- zetti and who supported the left wing, the only force in the labor movement that carried on an active campaign for Sacce and Vanzetti. 2.—When it became clear that the masses insisted that Geld speak the socialist chairmen, Claessens and Weinberg placed their narrow selfish | interests. and pride above the move- ment for the freedom of Sacco and Vanzetti at the same time running the risk of creating a’ riot and pos- sible bloodshed, refusing to allow Gold to speak and calling upon the police to break up the demonstration. Furthermore the plea of Gold that he be given an opportunity to tell the audience to he calm so that the de- monstration might contin: de- pied him. The blame for 5 re regrettable affair must be placed ¢ rectly upon the socialist and vight wing leaders. Deny Socialist Charges. As to your reference about other open air meetings being broken up by| “alleged Workers Party groups” we} wish to protest against such charges | and we will demand that these charges be investigated. The Workers Party has never participated in or encouraged this and if it has occurred, we diselaim all responsibility. Attack On Communists. Your committee states that it not In a position to investigate and fix legal responsibility, but deems it | important to state the fundamentals of free speech. Your committee under | the guise of stating the fundamen- | tals of free speech has actually charged the Workers Party with the | responsibility for the incident with- cut an investigation and without as much as mentioning the role played | by the socialists and the police. This to us seems contrary to the principles of the American Civil Liberties Union. We ask that the Union Executive Committee repudiate the statement) of the committee which is in contra- | diction to the statement made earlier | by My. Hayes, which signifies that | this statement was. arrived at in the | most important essentials by a vote | of two to one and furthermore, since the chairman of the committee is a| member of the socialist party, and | since according to the committee no | investigation was made, that the exe- | cutive appoint a new committee to make a thoro investigation of the en- tire matter. fers or representatives of groups at any meeting,” tee states, may differ, particular the commit- “On this point opinions | We are unanimous, how- jever, in condemning outside interfer- ence with any meeting and in insist- ing that rights of those in control be recognized. Common sense and com- mon humanity as well as respect for civil liberty requires scrupulous order on such occasions. To working-class groups there is or ought to be a fur- ther appeal. Interference by one |working-class group with another’s meetings, on whatever pretext, injures the whole cause of labor, strengthens its critics and creates a precedent against the granting of that meeting and assembly which all working class groups, irrespective of their opinions, demand for themselves.” ! Mass Women’s. Demonstra- | tion in Williamsburgh To- night for Furriers | | There will be a mass demonstration of women of Williamsburg tonight at 8 o’clock at the corner of Grand Ave. and Varick St. to protest against the police and right-wing atrocities per- | petrated against the striking furriers. | Among the speakers will be Esther | Polansky, of the furriers union; Helen | Moscowiteh, organizer of the Bakers Council of Housewives; Mania Pearl- jman of the dressmakers local of the | International Ladies’ Garment Work- | ers’ Union; Clara Sherman of the United Council of Workingclass| Housewives. | Globe Cafeteria Signs Agreement with Union; | Ends Yellow Contract! The Globe Cafeteria, Irving Place and 14th St., that compelled its work- | ers to sign a “yellow dog. contract” | several months ago has come to an agreement with the Amalgamated | Food Workers’ Union that it will in the future conduct its restaurant on} a union basis. | In the presence of P.-Pascal Cos-| grove, organizer of the union, the} boss tore up the contract. The cafe-| teria in the past was patronized by | many radical workers who stopped} going there when the contract was | foreed upon the workers.

The press release issued by the Civil Librties Union, describing the results of its “investigation” follows: Interference by one working-class group with meetings-of another re- sulting in “confusion, panic or riot,” is condemned by the American Civil Liberties Union in a statement issued today by its Executive Committee as a violation of free speech and assem- bly and an injury to the “whole cause of labor.” The statement was made in answer! to requests of both right and left wing | groups that the union investigate the | disturbances at the Sacco-Vanzetti meeting at Union Square on July 7th. On this occasion several persons were injured in the rioting that followed the attempt of friends of Ben Gold, Communist leader, to place him on the speakers’ platform.
