Tens of thousands of workers today in the capital city of the world’s most powerful imperialism, will do them honor.

Here also, today, the ashes, all that remains of Sacco and Vanzetti, in whose mem- ory workers rise in militant protest in every corner. far and near, Over the earth. For the ashes of Sacco and Vanzetti are today’s symbol of world labor’s struggle against the power of Wali Street’s gold. In doing honor to the ashes of Sacco and Vanzetti, New York labor honors itself. It makes a pledge to continue the class struggle against its oppressors with renewed vigor, with increasing self-sacrifice until the final victory is won. Sacco and Vanzetti gave their all—their lives—in order that the time of labor’s emancipation might draw rapidly nearer. In their memory, and with the firm resolve to “Fight On!” we demonstrate teday. Tomorrow, with greater courage, born of the heroic martyrdom of Sacco and Van- zetti, we press on toward greater battles, toward greater victories. Workers of New York! ‘ Demonstrate today!
