The two workers have already been moved to the death ‘house, in which they will remain until the Massachusetts indus- trial overlords burn them Monday evening, or until they are given complete freedom thru a mighty protest on the part of world labor. _ In its efforts to make the strike in New York City a monster demonstration that will eclipse the walk-out that won the framed- up workers a reprieve last week, the Sacco-Vanzetti Emergency Committee has sent the following telegram to 236 labor organ- izations in the city: UNITED FRONT PROTEST STRIKE. “The Supreme Court decision means death for Sacco and Vanzetti unicss organized labor voices its protest by means of the general strike. We urge you to call a protest strike for Mon- day, August 22nd, at 3 p. m., and to participate in the mass dem- onstration at Union Square at 4 p. m.” The telegram was signed by Rose Baron, secretary of the: Emergency Committee. Joining scores of other organizations that have issued strike calls, the Industrial Workers of the World has asked its mem- bers to join in the giant protest walkout.
