(By | Mail).—All over the Soviet Union— in industrial centers as well as rural villages—the funeral of Sacco and Vanzetti was marked by impressive memorial meetin; Thru the press | and thru- prev meetings the whole example of this justice is well known to the n workers, and their ndignation against the cold-blooded | sanctimonious hypocric of “Mur- | derer” Fuller is boundless. Not only the judicial murder it- self but the method by which it executed—the electric grilling of tims strapped fast to a chair—meets with bitterest condemnation. Every- |where in Russia the first question | asked of an American by the work- ers concerns Sacco and Vanzetti. | “Just like the government of the! ezars—only they used the axe or the rope,” they will say. “The Ameri- can capitalists have only developed | new technique.” The electric chair | bids fair to become the symbol of | America in the eyes of the European | masses. Hold Three Meetings. As an example of these union- | wide demonstrations may be taken the event in Petrosavodsk, the capi- tal of the Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic of Karelia. In this bustling industrial and shipping cen- ter of 25,000 population three meet- | ings were held simultaneously on on- | ly 12 hours notice, and they had a] combined attendance of about 10,000.

Ail that part of New Jersey is now one big mob hunting Negroes) picking up any Negro who is found on the highways. Just a word of caution: We haye had many such cases of robbery and rder where the robbers and mur- derers never materialized. This wo- man’s report may be entirely true, even as to the color of the robbers, but there are several things calling for reflection and investigation: 1) The wife is the sole witness— as Ruth Snyder was the sole witness to the murder and “robbery” ‘of her husband. 2) Two burly, stochily built, well armed robbers, who had forced a man to drive his car off the main road into a lonely lane and then forced him to give up his valuables, would not then have to kill him in order rob his wife. Even if he was ered by rough treatment of his wife and tried to fight, a 65-year old man could be handled by two burly robbers without being shot. 3) Granted that the robbers un- necessarily killed the man, why did not they kill the woman to destroy the only witness and to preven iden- tification? They could not be punished any mor®é for killing two than for killing one—and would be] a little less likely to be punished at all if they killed the two rather than only the one. 4) When a woman’s husband is killed by robbers, especially by black robbers, and the wife is’ the only witness, and the wife is found on inquiry to -be twenty years or more younger than her husband, that case to General Strike on Rail Lines Looms in China (Continued from Page One) ernment, which turned into a demon- stration culminating in a resolution to begin preparations for the calling of a general railroad strike if the government holds to its demand for a wage cut.
