They are doomed to death on the tenth day of this month. The governor of the state of Massachusetts has decreed it. Nothing can halt the hand of the ex-} ecutioner except the mass protest of the entire labor movement of the Uni- ted States. Will this protest be made sufficiently strong to impress the capitalists ? * * * OMETIMES we are charged with unfairness, even by sympathizers with the Communist movement. Many well-irttentioned persons believe that the capitalists, taken individually, are fine fellows, but that they don’t see things in the right way. Hokum. They see things in the way that bene-! fits their class as a whole and them-| selves individually. Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, himself a million-! aire capitalist, hates the ideas that Sacco and Vanzetti stand for and takes a pleasure in sending them to the chair. That is what there is to! it. | * * * | USTICE! Hell! Would I think of ju8tice if I had a portly capitalist burglar in front of me and if I were on the bench with a portfolio of com- missar of proletarian justice sur- rounding me? I would simply con- sider, if it were expedient from the point of view that I held to blot this parasite off the map or otherwise. This is the standard of justice in a class society. Any one who en- dangers the present order of society is considered a menace by those who | profit by the existing order. Can you! blame them for feeling sore? No. But that is not all there is to it. * * * | HEE is where we get to funda-| mentals. The class that Sacco | and Vanzetti stand for, produce what |« the whole human race lives on. But those that produce do not enjoy all they produce. Parasites who never put hand to plow or machine, cross the ocean whenever they feel like it and command any luxury they crave for. Under the social order that Sacco and Vanzetti envison only those who produce, according to their ability would share the products of society as a whole. Is it surprising then that the bawdy plutes who batten on the unpaid labor of the workers (Continued on Page Four) LL.D, ENDORSES SACO, VANZETT!

The decision of the Massachusetts governor is the crowning infamy in a series of acts which began with the farcical frame-up trial. No one can any longer doubt but that there is no justice for the workers in capitalist courts. The Central Executive Committee of the Workers (Com- munist) Party of America has already issued a cail to the entire working class of the United States and to all workers’ organizations in America to unite their forces to free Sacco and Vanzetti. In this declaration we called upon the labor organizations ‘of America to set aside Tuesday, August 9, for strikes and for demonstrations in front of all government buildings and in central places. Now we turn to the working class organization of all the rest of the world and ask them for help in saving these two American labor leaders. We ask you, whatever differ- efces there may be among you, at such a time as this not to let these differences stand in a the way of common | action Declaration of the Central Executive Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party of America strations to snatch Sacco and Vanzetti from the hands of the Massachusetts hangmen who have doomed them to burn in the electric chair next Wednesday are being made by workers thru- on behalf of these two men. We ask you to call strikes thru- out the world on the same day as we and other American working class#rganizations have set for the American work- ers. We ask you to demonstrate with us on that date. We recognize the splendid service you have already given in these seven difficult years in throwing the light of world publicity upon this frame-up and staying the hand of the executioner for so long a period. We thank you on behalf of the two condemned men and the American working class and we ask you to intensify your efforts in these few days that remain before the date set for execution so that the united protest and the united action of the working class all over the world may free these two innocent workers’ champions.
