NEW DEVELOPMENTS~-NEW DANGERS IN THE SACCO AND VANZETTI CASE By JAMES P. CANNON (Secretary International Labor Defense). a HE Sacco-Vanzetti case is moving to its final issue with express-train speed. Events in this mighty drama are transpiring now as though some unseen elemental force were driving them on. These events are fraught with significance and danger for Sacco and Vanzetti and for the cause of labor which they represent and symbolize. The laboring masses must pene- trate the haze of these developments, interpret.them truly and draw the right conclusion from them, Only on this condition will they be able to strengthen the iron ring of solidarity and protection around Sacco and Vaanzetti. THE MANEUVER OF DELAY, The main developments are the following: (1) A few days’ delay of execution ostensibly to provide oppor- tunity for further legal deliberation (after seven years!), but in reality to fool the workers with false hopes while the legal murderers gain time to manouyer against the protest movement and gather more strength and courage to go through-withtheiy plans. (2) A reyival of the old game of bomb “plants” in order to create the impression that friends of the prisoners are irresponsible terrorists. (3) Goyernor Fuller promptly issues a statement expressing horror at a bomb explosion that injured no one—the same governor who felt no horror at all in condemning innocent men to death on the basis of an “investigation” framed-up in secret session. (A) Attempts of the police to prevent and break up protest meet- ings and demonstrations and to wuppress the expression of the workers against the execution. At least several hundred workers were arrested in the different cities in which demonstrations of protest were held prior to August tenth. (5) A number of capitalistic and “liberal” elements who “joined” the movement for a time and even tried to lead it begin to desert, to get cold feet and to find excuses to justify the legal murder or life imprison- ment. The suppression of the Heywood Broun articles by the New York World and the changed tone of other capitalist papers are cases in point. (6) Along with these happenings go the outspoken threats of a new drive against the foreign born workers.. TRICKERY AND FORCE. Thus we see the forces of reaction mobilizing along the whole front with a strategy which represents a combination of trickery and morce. They are organizing their forces for the counter-campaign against the mass movement: of the workers, the power which stands between Sacco and Vanzetti and the electric chair. They are conspiring and working with feverish speed. There is no ground for the belief that they have changed their plans. The new developments bring out more than ever and with crystal clear- ness the class basis of this famous case. They show that it is a case of workers against exploiters with Sacco and Vanzetti, the victims selected for the holoraust, standing out before the whole world as the representatives of the exploited class. The class struggle policy in the fight for Sacco and ‘anzetti was right from the beginning and is a thousand times right now. ‘The power that can save Sacco and Vanzetti is the power of the masses. The short reprieve was not an act of mercy or justice. It was trick to create illusions and false hopes. It would be criminally foolish to regard it in any other way. THE BOMB AS PUBLICITY. The bomb “plants” are part of the same strategy and are designed to demoralize and discredit the protest moyement, to split its ranks and above all to isolate and discredit the militants who are the organizing and driving force in the entire movement the world over. Bomb-throwing and other futile acts of individual terror are not the weapons of class conscious werkers. We base ourselves on the masses and rely on the power of the masses in the fight for the liberation of Sacco and Vanzetti. The police violence and suppression against the protest meetings and the threatened drive against the foreign-born are bound up together with the other developments noted aboye. There is no contradiction between them. a} the right wingers with the help of the deputy sheriff’s office, was new fur- niture. Many shops sent flowers to| the union office to celebrate the in-| stalling of the new fixtures. : Oe ee } | | Big Cooper Union Meeting. | In spite of the rainy weather, Cooper Union was crowded with) cloak and dressmakers last night who jlistened to speeches delivered by} | Louis Hyman and Joseph Boruchow- | jitz.
