Giant Jamboree to Strike a Blow at Woall-Sigman Gang Now is the time to strike the final blow at Sigman, Beckerman, Woll, Frayne and the other fakers who are using all the means at t disposal to crush the militant working class. For months the struggle has been carried on in a most ruthless fash-| ion. Workers were brutally beaten and thrown into prison. The Joint) Defense of Furriers and Cloakmak-| ers rose to the occasion and fought back at the reactionaries. Thousands of dollars were raised not from the bosses but from the pennies of the workers. So great was the response Sigman and Woll became panicky and plotted | with the bosses and police to have more anf more workers arrested so} that the demands upon the Defense’ response was very good. Reactionaries Retreating. The courage of the workers has had its effect. Sigman, Shiplacoff and the other fakers have com- menced fighting amongst themselves. Strike the Final Blow. A final Jamboree of all militants | is being held in Starlight Park, 177th St., Bronx, on Sunday August 28th— for the specific purpose of supplying the necessary dollar bullets ~ with! which to storm the last ‘stronghold of reaction.

Al any i iN The strike of hundreds of thousands of workers Tuesday of all see- tions of labor and the s meetings held in vy us halls in the city, ending up in a demonstration in Union Square, attended by 50,000 workers; is a ‘powerful answer to Gov. Fuller and to his commission, and shows.that the. vast rity of people not only of this state but of the nation firmly believe in the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti. These meetings and strikes called despite the intimidation and ter- ror of the police, and the intimidating statement of Rep. Johnston of the Committee of Immigration and Naturali. s that labor is ready to make every co and Van- zetti. If Sacco and V ti are murdered in the ¢ chair, it will not for a single ‘moihent shake the confidence of the masses of workers in these two men. Not Sacco and Vanzetti are guilty of any crime, but Judge Thayer, Gov. Fuller, Massachusetts justice and the capitalist class institutions are guilty of the crime of a vicious frame-up and of railroading these two workers to death. The cause of labor continues. We workers to the hands of the executioners. The protests will go on up to the last minute. The voice of labor will be heard. If our protest is unsuccessful, the struggle will go on for justice to the working class. A thousand militant workers will take the place of Saceo and Van- zetti and the fight for the emancipation of labor from capitalist slavery and capitalist oppression will go on unabated. Labor will learn the lesson from this persecution that it must unite in powerful industrial unions, must build a mass labor party in this country, and must fight with greater energy and perseverance for the cause of the emancipa- tion of the workers.
