Mrs. Sacco had visited the prison }and when told of plans under dis- cussion to forcibly feed the prisoners she was said to have begged her hus- band to take nourishment. The committee of three appointed by Governor Fuller, has completed its “investigation” and has submitted its finding to the governor. The governor's decision is expected with- lin a few days. No one has any illu- sions and the situation is gloomy all around, The worst is expected for the two framed-up Italian workers. The Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Com- mittee has been refused a permit for demonstration or the use of Park- man Bandstand on Boston Common for a mass meeting. It is expected that a meeting will be arranged by \the Sacco-Vanzetti Committee, Sun- day, July 31, on the stand of socialist party on Boston Common mall. There is no confirmation to the rumor that Darrow and Scott Nearing will at- tend the meeting. The Workers Party of District 1 has offered its place on the Boston Common to a Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee for a mass meeting, but has received no reply. There will be a mass “meeting arranged by the Workers Party if the Sacco-Vanzetti Committee fails in its arrangements. Otherwise one joint mass meeting will take place. But It Swells! DUNN, La. Juy 29.—Rev.

Rev. Williams’ arm was swollen to- day and his hand beyond use from the snake’s bite. He still refuses to call a physician. a ee IK E!

No doubt if he had the time to take the doctor’s advice his stomach trouble | would evaporate and all his troubles for that matter. * 5 it would seem that patience is a virtue that cuts both ways, and poise might be all right in enabling one to stand the strain of being re-| ceived at Buckingham Palace, enter- | taining Marie of Roumania or listen- | ing to a sermon while wearing a petrified shirt, but when up against the rougher side of life the aristocrat | finds it as useless as the milk-chew- | ing hodcarrier. * * * WAY up in the Canadian woods one of those idylic incidents so char- | acteristic of our American democracy | was taking place, The son of a} banker, internationally known for his | money and his connubial infelicity was taking in marriage the daughter of a plebeian. The news value of the affair was heavy so the photo- graphers were on the job. For the benefit of those who do not read the capitalist press it was a Stillman marriage. But Mrs. Stillman did not | like publicity so she threw poise to the winds and threw plates at the photographers. * HOULD the same kind of diversion be indulged in by a Mrs. Feigen- flatt of Avenue A., by a Mrs. Gioletti | Carminatti of Downing Street or by a Mrs. MacDuff of 10 Avenue and 46th Street, the police captains of the respective districts would have trans- ported the merrymakers to the near- est detention station and the trained wits whe emphasise the lighter fea- tures of police cases in the capitalist press would spread themselves on the tale. There would be no danger of committing lese majestie. * oe ee trouble with the workers is not a lack of poise or patience. It is too damned much of it. They are} tatght to believe that meekness loy- alty and submission are the greaftst of virtues and they will suffer | humiliation and poverty to the un-| bearable point before they kick. Loy- alty is a virtue that changes its con- notation when the need out which it sprung vanishes. The worker is loyal to the boss because he feels that his bread and butter depends on the boss’s favor. All his other loyalties are also motivated by his physical or emotional needs. And the loyalties of classes can be similarly traced, and much more exactly. * * . HAT worker would not kick over the capitalist traces if he thot his life would be richer after the big | burst! He still carries the slave mind |around in his head and this is not | surprising, he lacks class confidence | as well as class consciousness.

He is getting over this inherited men- tal malady and as he is beginning to realize that there is not much more |room at the top for a new crop of exploiters, he is tending to fall back on organization and collective effort in this struggle for more of the pro- duct of his toil. The scalpel of evolu- tion is lifting his brain pan and the revolutionary propagandists are | SCRE ing to separate his gray matter from the gudgeon grease.
