It is reported here that Ora L.| Daugherty, president of the Buchtei subdistrict tried to stop the parade be- | cause of the heavy machine gun arma- | ment which the operators have accu- mulated in the Hocking Valley dis- trict, and the probability that there i will be an attack on the miners.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. T is certain that the working class of the United States did not do enough in its struggle to save Sacco and Vanzetti from the elec- trie chair, There will be, and should much discussion as to whether much more could have been done with the militant forces at present and with the wo: iz class of this country in its present state of mind. * * The inymediate goal of this strug- gle was set forth in the: slogan, co and Vanzetti Must Be Mass demonstrations, _ short strikes, petitions, adoption of*reso- { | j | at “labor leaders that cringe before The fact that our two | | comrades are dead is proof enough. | be, ; no central organ, lutions by the various labor organ- | izations over the land, the sending | of protest telegrams to Governor Alvan T. Fuller, of Massachusetts, and other members of the crew of Official murderers, in addition to the wide distribution of literature, constituted the program of libera- tion. It was not an over-ambitious program. It was one around which all thinking workers could mol e, drawing in hosts of less class con- scious elements. * * * Any organization or individual that cried “Enough!” before the sum total of that program had been carried out, must stand convicted as allies of the executioners of our two comrades. The mass demonstrations and the short strikes were, to be sure, the } er most ambitious parts of this pro- | gram. It was on the edge of both of these efforts that the Socialist | sector of labor’s battlefront for | Sacco and Vanzetti crumpled up and | melted away. oe antes The actual words, “It is enough to hold a meeting in the Scenic Au- ditorium. It is not necessary to hold another demonstration on Bos- ton Common,” came from the lips of a prominent socialist in Boston, on the Sunday preceding the killing of Sacco and Vanzetti. This socialist, let his name be | forgotten, evidently felt that the face of the socialist party, if not of the working class, could be saved with an indoor meeting, even tho our two comrades went to their doom. * * * Here one finds contrasted very clearly the two views in the strug- gle to save Sacco and Vanzetti from | the grip of their official murderers: FIRST:—To do everything pos- | sible, within the means and the | power of the working class in its | present stage of development, | were freed. SECOND:—To do just “Enough!” | so that an argument can be ad- | vaneed against any, charges that not enough was attempted or ac- complished. > * * Foremost among those who were carefully doing just enough to save their faces, as they thought, were ' again shown that the Communist the officials of the American Fed- | eration of Labor, Green, Tobin & Co. and Vanzetti. have to answer. For this they will Woll, | But they never did | come out as champions of Sacco | | joining its ranks. But the socialists really tried to | parade themselves as the friends of Sacco and Vanzetti. Yet from the start they revealed their duplic- i ity. They refused to join the united front of labor, instead causing ev- erywhere a divided front of the workers. They turned their faces against mass demonstrations, the Common being only one among many. They opposed the strike. mee’ * It may be said.that the, demon- strations for Sacco and Vanzetti took on greater proportions than anything of the kind yet attempted in the whole history of American labor. Repeatedly the workers in New York marched to the city hall in the face of police attack. Else. where they did the same, especially in Detroit, where the open air dem- onstration in Cadillac Square’ was held under the direction’ of the De- troit Federation of Labor. Social- ists oppose such struggles in the streets, substituting instead the polite forms of indoor gatherings. Instead of joining the strike movement on the day that Sacco and’ Vanzetti were condemned to burn at midnight, they sent another committee to plead with Governor | Fuller, cynical spokesman of the capitalist class that fears but one attack,—the threat to its economic power. Instead of aiding this at- tack on the capitalist class, the so- cialists denounced the strike~as a Communist effort, thus playing in- to the hands of the black reaction. The traitor role of the socialist party in the Saeco-Vanzetti case stands in startling contrast to the couragewas fight led by Eugene V. Debs in the drive for the liberation of Moyer, Pettibone and Haywood, officials of the Western Federation of Labor, whom the great mine owners mere than twenty years ago sought to drag upon the gallows of : | ° Warsaw Workers Try instance of last Sunday on Boston | SCORES HURT AS PARIS DRAGOONS ~ FIRE ON CROWDS GunsTurned on Throngs Who Dared to Protest PARIS, Aug. —Paris police ter- rorism reached a high y. ast night when the gendarmes fired on a column of several hundred marching workers in the Boulevard Sebastopol.
