Milner, field secretary, acknowledging its communication of July 15, in which it requested a new inyesti- gation of the breaking up of the Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration in Union Square on July 7th. The letter states that the matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the executive committee of the union,-to be held Tuesday, July 26th, Hylan, In Interview, Hits I. R. T.
