THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TURSD. Sacco and Vanzetti Must Rely | Upon. DANGER SIGNALS IN THE Sacco-VANZETTI CASE DEMAND JUSTICE The Daily Worker--Help Us Continue the Fight! Heywood Broun, the noted columnist of the New York World has been forced to sever his connections with that so-called “liberal” paper, because of its refusal to publish his articles on Sacco and Vanzetti. Yet “The World” carries today, as everyday the following hypocritical pledge on its edi- torial page: THE WORLD, as established by R, May 10, 1883: fight for progress and reform, never s fight demagogues of all parties, never and public plunderer: h the poor, always remain devoted to the public d with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutoc- or predatory poverty.” Many radicals and liberal-minded readers have followed the columns of this paper faith- fully with full confidence in its impartiality and broadmindedness. The Heywood Broun in- cident should prove to them, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that no impartiality, no broad- mindedness, nothing but class prejudice and bias, can be expected from any capitalist paper. This incident should inspire every class conscious worker to renewed efforts to help The DAILY WORKER, particularly at this time, when it must shoulder the main responsibility for mobilizing public sentiment behind Sacco and Vanzetti, as they face again the danger of death in the electric chair. ; position to gouge tremendous profits | out of the government, meanwhile in- | Gary Cycle Cossacks Elbert H.

DETROIT, Aug. 15. — Over twen- ty thousand workers jammed the Cad- illac Square in the greatest demon- stration witnessed in Detroit for years demanding freedom for Sacco and Vanzetti. Eight labor speakers addressed the huge crowds from three platforms. The shouting and ap- plause was plainly heard for many blocks around. Although the meeting was sched- uled for eight o’clock, the huge square was already filled by 7:30. Only a few hours before the meet- ing took place, the daily papers car- ried headlines to the effect that the demonstration would be stopped by the police. This issue of the daily papers was sold before the huge au- tomobile factories and unquestionably added ‘many thousands to the huge crowd of workers, many of whom came direct. from the shops. A tre- mendous ovation greeted the commit- tee which arrived at eight o’clock with the banners bearing the slogans of the final struggle to free Sacco and Vanzetti. The meeting was opened by the chairman of the Sacco Vanzetti com- mittee, Mike Patton of the Electrical Workers Union. William Reynolds and Jack Robinson mounted the two additional platforms simultaneously and explained meeting amid thunderous applause, after which the speakers of the even- ing were introduced. The meeting was under the immediate supervision and auspices of the Detroit Federa- tion of Labor with the co-operation It takes time, however, to ferret | out workers holding certain ‘opinions. It takes even a little more time to hunt down and deport these workers.: Our capitalists are effi- cient. THey do not believe in losing ne. Particularly when it is neces- sary to persecute the working class do they keep in mind their old maxim h time is money.” Therefore, y of Labor Davis has taken gyveat American “public” into fidence ond has declared that in meanwhile steps are being pro- ed to starve those foreign-born vurkers Who refuse to be docile in- vial serfs, who refuse to applaud ihe hangmen of the American prole- heroes of the day. retary Davis cpenly declares. that tters have. bi sent to employers, ing thera to aid in the enforcement of the immigrstion laws by refusing employment. to all foreign-born workers who cannot show that they entered this country by “legal methods,” This is nonsense. It is plain camouflage. Our multi-million- aire and open-shop Secretary of Labor Davis will fool nobody when he sneuks of jegal methods. He is’ simply attempting to starve those workers who have opinions which in the eyes of our ruling class are dangerous to the maingainance of capitalist ex- pleitation and tyranny. The Saceo-Vanzetti ease should | prove x great antitoxin to the bacilli, to the devastating germs which have |been spread in the ranks of the l ganizations of Detroit. The speakers teld the great crowds that the case of Sacco, and Vanzetti is now in the final court of appeals, the working class of the world. Ap- nouncements of the strikes and dem- onstrations taking place in the lead- ing cities of America and of the world. Especially loud and deter- mined was the applause for the or- ganization of the auto workers to pre- vent further frame-ups and execu- tions of labor leaders that are bovnd \to follow in the impending struggles of American labor. The following speakers represent- ing their various organziations ad- dressed the demonstration in relays from the three platforms: Arthur Rohan, national secretary of the Au- tomobile Workers Union, R. Baker, District Organizer Workers munist) Party and member of Ma- chinists Union. Saraine Bereiter, or- ganizer Waiters’ Union; Phillip Ray- mond, secretary, organizer of the Automobile Workers’ Union, Jack | |Robinson of the Pressmen’s Union, | |Dave Miller of the British Workers’ | |Club, Walter Trumbul, of Musicians’ Union; Paul Dennie and two Italian speakers representing the Italian Sacco Vanzetti defense committee. In spite of the predictions of the daily papers, the demonstration was peaceful and no interference by the |police took place. The demonstration was originally announced and adver- tisde by the International#Labor De- fense and at the next regular meet- ing of the Joint Sacco-Vanzetti Com- mittee held Monday evening August 8, it was unanimously endorsed and taken over by this committee. The Joint Defense Committee on which the Detroit Federation of Lab- or is represented secured a permit for the meeting. Scores of banners and signs were displayed and paraded through the demonstration. garding the purity, the integrity and the blessings of American democracy.
