EDITOR’S NOTES iY is still within the power of the American work- ingclass to prevent the murder of Sacco and Van- zetti. Though the might of American imperialism is great and its arrogance boundless, yet the judicial killing of our two brothers can be stopped and their freedom secured if the exploited masses of the United States and the world over intensify their efforts manyfold to-save and free Sacco and Van- zetti.

In this move they have appealed to the large employers of labor for support. This suport will probably be forthcoming, which will prove once more to the workers of America that the existing government is an agency of the capitalist class serving its interests and maintaining its rule over the workers. By striking at the foreign born workers the capi- talist class is striking at the workingclass as a (Continued on Page Two) —Drawing by Fred Elis.
