Resolutions Adopted. The attack of the reactionaries and responsibilities. Although the DAILY the tremendous financial burden of | the paper places before district two the chief responsibility for solving the difficult problem of financial sup- port. This District Convention there- fore calls-upon the Party membership in ‘district two to take concrete steps toward the support of the DAILY WORKER in these forms: 1:- Im the future every Party unit meeting should have on its order of business the DAILY WORKER includ- ing both the question of raising funds and the building the circulation of the paper.

To inerease the effectiveness of organization behind the paper, | DAILY WORKER Builders Clubs and | readers conferences should be estab- | lished to dev ways and means of ¥aising “money ‘for the support of the} paper and to build up its circulation.

His party has held since 1923 a majority of the seats in the Egyptian chamber of deputies. He should have been Premier, but England forbade, except for a short time in 1924. For 45 Years. Zaghloul began his struggle with the conquerors of his country in 1881, when, at the age of 21, he took part in an armed insurrection, After that he entered political life, held seyeral cabinet posts, fought with the Brit- ish-dominated Khedive, and was dis- missed.

He im- mediately assumed leadership of the fight for independence, ‘and was as immediately exiled-to the unhealthy ‘Seychelles Islands.

As unemployment develops, as jobless workers grow hungry and homeless, unrest in- creases, discontent mounts and the owning class faces new difficulties. % ¥ * The exploiting class, that ordered the lighting bolt of death shot thru the warm, living bodies of our com- rades, believes in “preparedness.” No worker has forgotten the elab- orate program of “preparedness” that was carried out in 1916, on the eve of the American entry into the world war. Workers were con- scripted to march thru the streets of the nation’s great cities. They were taught to believe in “the war to make the world safe for democ- racy.” If they did not walk the chalk line of cringing servitude and insane jingoism, they . were faced with the hangman’s noose | dangling over the heads of Tom | Mooney and Warren K. Billings, framed up incidental to the holding of the “preparedness day” in San Francisco, California. Preparing for the sending of millions of workers into the Euro- pean death trenches of the world slaughter in 1916, the ruling class planned to hang Mooney and Bill- ings “by the neck until death,” as ‘ a warning to thinking workers not | to seize this octasion as an excel- Jent one to strengthen their unions, | The crime of Tom Mooney was that | he tried to organize the street car- men of Say Francisco. * 5 * | Similarly today, the profit takers aw: faced with a new crisis, an in- dustrial depression, during which it will again attempt to force the working class to keep its place,— millions to starve, millions to walk the streets looking for jobs, mill- ions of homeless to sleep in the open places, many to die of hunger, many to become early victims of | ravaging diseases that spread death wholesale, in times like these, thru the poorer working class dis- triets. ~ The great capitalists do not at- tempt to meet the crisis with un- employment insurance or other so- cial legislation provided by their kept government. There is no thought of the interests of those who labor. Instead of protection against the evil of recurring periods of idleness, which is inherent in the capitalist social order, the workers are faced with the brutal spectacle of two of their bravest done to death in the electric chair. This is the “WARNING!” that the work- ers, in the days ahead, must sub- mit to hunger, homelessness and death, IN SILENCE, or meet the fate provided by the murderous capitalist law that took the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti. | * * * The oppressors have already ad- mitted that their “prosperity” is on the wane. It was Colonel | Leonard P. Ayres, vice-president of the Cleveland Trust Company, who said on Monday, August 15, midway between the last reprieve granted and the final day of execu- tion of Sacco and Vanzetti, that: “Our prosperity seems to be get- ting tired. It is showing signs of fatigue. It may recoyer its earlier vigor later on, but just at present Tf IS UNMISTAKABLY SLOW- | ING DOWN.” The warning issued by Ayres is directed to the big bankers and the | great industrialists to prepare for | the stormy days ahead. The New England bankers and the textile mill and shoe barons of Massachu- By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. | setts were among those most in- | | sistent that “Sacco and Vanzetti ; Must Die!” * + * The Monthly Labor Review, August, 1927, issued by the United States Department of Labor, under the direction of its secretary, James J. Davis, confesses in its review of “Employment in Selected Manufac- turing Industries in June, 1927,” that: “Employment in manufacturing industries decreased 0.7 per cent in June as compared with May, and payroll totals decreased 2.4 per cent. This is the third successive month of decreased employment. “Employment in June, 1927, was 2.4 per cent lower than in June, 1926, and payroll totals were 2.3 per cent lower.” On Page 137 of the we find this statement: “The following groups of indus- | tries were. much less favorably placed as to employment in June, 1917, than in June, 1926: iron and steel; lumber; stone, clay and glass; metal, other than steel; and vehicle. “Each of the separate industries making up these groups has sus- tained noticeable losses in employ- ment.” me report Almost daily the capitalist press is foreed to admit that the number of poorest workers forced to seek aid from the various professional charities is rapidly increasing. Among these are to be found an ever larger number of disabled war veterans and their families, unable to keep alive with the doles pro- vided by the gévernment that per- mitted the parasite few to take billions in war profits, while it fought for years against giving the smallest bonus.to the cannon fodder prepared for the murder feast. The New York Times, on Tues- day, August 23, the morning that capitalist greed took the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti, gravely dis- cussed in its editorial columns the statement of United States Senator Reed Smoot, in Washington, that “It is unreasonable to assume that. prosperity is going to last forever.” | | Senator Smoot comes from Utah, the state that ordered out a firing squad in 1915 to pierce with bul- lets the heart and brain of Joe Hill, the writer of revolutionary songs. | The workers are still singing, in imereasing numbers, the songs of Joe Hill, just as their enemy, Sen- | ator Smoot, continues to sing the | song of greater profits for the cap- | italist class. | Senator Smoot urges that taxes | be lowered so that profits may be increased. Nowhere does he urge that the wages of the workers be increased so that they might save a few pennies against the day when the plague of industrial depression will again sweep the land. * * * The murder of Sacco and Vanzeti by the capitalist rulers must there- fore act as a storm signal for all workers, It is a signal of sharper struggles ahead. There is no better way for the workers to prepare for these on- coming days of industrial storm than to strengthen their trade unions thru the adoption and carry- ing into effect of militant pro- grams, the placing of loyal class leaders at the heads of the various organizations, the bringing in of vast hosts of new members until it may truly be said that the in- dustry is 100 per cent organized; the amalgamation of the many small craft unions into huge indus- trial unions, and the linking up of the economic organizations — the trade unions — in the developing drive for the Labor Party. The capitalist assassins prepare. Labor must also prepare. Other- wise there will be many more Sac- co-Vanzetti cases. Otherwise labor will face a growing oppression. | to Jeer Walker | ie adeatit | (Continued from Page One) | In an interview with the press Walker announced he had slept dur- ing the train ride through Germany, and that he hadn't “seen a thing.” His jalarm clock this morning, he said, \was a telegram from the railroad company urging him to alight at one of the suburbs to escape the crowds of workers who came out to boo and hiss and tell him what they thought of American “justice” in the Sacco and Vanzetti case.
