BEING CONTINUED -rotective CouncilBares | Klan Program ted, the Ku Klux Klan is |carrying on its cowardly, sinister, |underhanded work in certain indus- | trial sections, according to the reports | jof field organizers for the Council for the Protection of Foreign Born Workers. The Councils for the Protection of the Foreign Born Workers have been organized throughout the country for the purpose of combatting legislation | designed to register and finger-print these workers who furnish more than half of the-man power in the heavy industries" of the country. Such measures, according to the organiza- tion, “are. advocated by the big em- ployers of industrial labor in order to regimentalize and intimidate the worker who resents the treatment ac- corded-him.

One of the greatest tasks of the Councils for the Protection of Foreign Born Workers is its naturalization work, which entails encouragement to learn* the English language and ef-| forts to familiarize these workers with American institutions. Expose Real Purpose. It is pointed out by the organizers that the best antidote to the nefari- ous work of the Klan is to expose the teal purpose of their unlawful at- tacks and.at the same time impress upon the native, American workers that it is to their interest to strive to defend the forein-born workers against the beating down of their standard of living and the regimen- talism of labor, because if such at- tacks against foreign-born workers are permitted to succeed the system will eventually be widened to include all workers. Those who oppose the fight to pro- tect the foreign-born workers are enemies of all labor because it is im- possible to continue a state of af- fairs where some workers in a given industry are better treated than others who do the same work. * * * Steelton Mass Meeting. | HARMSBURG, Pa.

New California Quake. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28.—Reports received here said a severe earthquake shock rocked Santa Barbara early. to- day. The first tremor was felt at 4:49 A. M. and was followed a few seconds later by a second sharp shock, MURDER | _ dented protest by workers the world | Allies to Aid ‘HE murder of Sacco and Vanzetti ; by the American ruling class is arousing strenuous and unprece- over. No martyrdom of a spokes- man of labor, in the world’s entire history, has evoked such demon- | strations against the social system that ordered the sentence of death, as have taken place during the past week, that still continue. * Several factors are contributing to this historic development in the class struggle. Sacco and Vanzetti were slain by | the dominant imperialism in the world—the capitalist government of the United States. There is hardly a worker or | farmer, anywhere in the world, that has not some grievance against | this American imperialism. ~ * * * For the workers of all Latin America, the seven years’ prison | torture inflicted upon Sacco and Vanzetti, terminated by the savage death penalty carried out against them in the electric chair, merley crystallized their own years of mis- | | ery under the “dollar diplomacy” of the Wall Street: hangmen, To them, a voice raised against the legalized assassination of Sacco ; and Vanzetti, is a protest against | the blood bath visited by American military forces upon the peoples of | Nicaragua; a protest against the looting and plundering of all Latin American countries, te For the workers of Europe, the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, | visualized sharply the dollar kaiser- dom that has been siding every Eu- | ropean reaction in suppressing la- bor’s efforts to rise. The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti parallels the murder of workers in Germany un- der the Dawes Plan, the slaughter of labor in Italy under the Wall | Street financed fascism of Musso- lini, the suffering resulting from the Hoover-aided overthrow of the | Hungarian Soviet Republic, the misery upheld by American finan- | cial aid to the reaction in the Baltic states and the Balkans, especially | in Poland and Roumania, . * * To the workers and peasants of the Union of Soviet Republics, the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti makes more apparent than ever the new war danger. They can see in | it not only an inereasing oppres- | sion of the workers in the United States, but also American imperial- ist participation in and leadership of the developing attack against the First Workers’ Republic. * . * To the workers and farmers not only of China, but of all Asia, the American dollar tyranny, its hands dripping the blood of Sacco and Vanzetti,.is revealed clearer than ever as the capitalist enemy of their struggle for liberation, not only from foreign imperialist dom- ination, but also from continued en- slavement by their ruling classes. * * * In. every land, therefore, there | are deep-going causes for bitter ha- tred of the American imperialist | wregime. It has found quick ex- | pression in the world-wide wave of horror and indignation in the ranks of the workers of every nation. It will be impossible for the | American kept press to sweep aside | this storm of protest by declaring that it has been engineered by | “the agents of Moscow.” That is | what it is now trying to do in an | effort to save the face of the Amer- | ican Legion, that is hard put to hold its-convention in Paris in the | face of French working class op- position. * * * It is,<of course, no accident that the five internationals of the work- | ing class that are inspiring and leading the world protest for Sacco and Vanzetti, all have their head- | quarters in Moscow. In no other | country could they function. It is | only on the free soil of, the Soviet Union, under the protection of the | Workers’ and Peasants’ Govern- ment that they are able to carry on their activities. It is only because | there is a Proletarian Dictatorship | “American Labor Has Many Sacco-Vanzetti Slayers By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, | the class war prisoners, | Mussolini’s | whole array of powerful opposition | to capitalist tyranny and imperial- | strengthening War Against in the Soviet Union that it is pos- sible for world labor to enjoy and profit by the leadership of the in- ternationals that have sprung, not alone out of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution, but also out of the class conflict in all countries. | There is the Communist Interna- tional, the world organization of Communist Parties in more than three score countries, the vanguard of the oppressed. There is the Young Communist International, the international of the’ revolutionary youth of the | world, that has mobilized millions | around its standards, that sees in the execution of Sacco and Van- | zetti the effort of American greed to maintain in slavery generations | yet unborn. There is the Peasants’ Interna- | tional that rallies and unites the revolutionary farmers of the world, and that works for the unity of city | and land labor in all countries. It | feels in the ‘murder of Sacco and Vanzetti the thrust of capitalism | against the tillers of the soil, mak- ing worse their conditions every- where, including the United States. There is the Red International of Labor Unions, feared by the reac- tion within the ranks of labor in all countries as well as the capitalists themselves. It sees in the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti, renewed at- | tacks upon the trade unions in | America, certainly, but also in all countries bulwarked by the Amer iean reaction. There is the International Red Relief, the world organization of It battles for the working class victims of capitalist “justice” in all lands. It sses in the execution of Saceo’ and Vanzetti, the bourgeois terror’ of Italy and Horthy’s Hungary, and the Roumania of the bloody “Queen Maria” transplanted | | to the United States, It calls for | working class solidarity against the bloody bourgeois class justice: * * * Millions of workers thruout the | United, States are realizing for the | first time, as a result of the mur-. | der of Sacco and Vanzetti, that world labonis well organized on an | international scale; that the issues | confronting the working class are \ world-wide in scope. Thus the lightning bolt of death that shot thru the bodies of Sacco and Vanzetti, has also torn aside the veil of ignorance that has hung so long and so tenaciously before the eyes of the working class of this: country. * * * Multitudes of American workers behold for the first time powerful allies rallying in their support .in the fight against the exploiters at | home. There are not only the 150,000,- 000 of freed workers and farmers of the Union of Soviet Republies. There are also the powerful and | militant sections of the working class in every capitalist land or- ganized and educated for carrying on the class struggle. There are also the growing ne iE | tionalist movements in every sub- | ject colonial nation, as well as the resistance being offered by the smaller .semi-subject nations; a ist plunder. * The killing of Sacco and Vanzetti was a challenge by the capitalists to the workers of this country. Labor must take up the challenge. | The martyrdom of Sacco and Vanzetti must be transmuted into the unity of the working class. Forward to greater and more- militant trade unions; the organi- zation of the unorganized, the building of the Labor Party, the protection of the foreign-born workers, the unity of the Negro with the white workers, the of the Workers (Communist) Party; the solidifying of the class forces of labor in America. In memory of Sacco and Van- zetti, build for the overthrow of the capitalist social order that -slaughtered them. Build for, la- bor’s complete victory and its final emancipation. ee ‘Efforts to Make Treaty | of Perpetual Peace for France, U. §.
