There was hardly any affair in
which the whole baseness and mean
ness of American justice showed itself
with such naked brutality as in the
well-known trial of the two Italian
workers Sacco and vanzetti.
Sacco and vanzetti are class con
scious workers who have fought with
all their energy for tho revolutionizing
of the American workers. Sacco and
Vanzetti possess leading influence
among the revolutionary working
class.
What is the crime" of these two
comrades?
Sacco and Vanzetti were in posses
sion of exceedingly compromising in
formation on the shameful acts of
the secret department of the Ameri-
can police service. This band of spies
and police agents had, during his ex-
animation, tortured the Italian worker
Salcedo to death.
When the police learned that Sacco
and Vanzetti were in position tc
produce proof of this shameful crime
they commenced a persistent persecu-
tion Of these two revolutionaries.
By means of agents, prostitutes and
DULLES, they framed up a trial for rob
berry and murder of two cashiers and
with the help of perjurious witnesses
dragged Sacco and Vanzetti into the
trial. Thereupon all bribable elements
were set into motion the judges, the
jury, the witness, the press, the

judges conducted the proceedings

TAKERS ARRIVE
IN DISTRICT One
Only Concerned with
Breaking Strike
BY THOMAS MYERscoUcH.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

PITTSTON, Pa, Dec. 9.--Immediate-
ly on its arrival in this section yes
terday, the commission of information
al board members, appointed and sent
here by international President John
L. Lewis, proceeded to the meeting
of the Lehigh Valley general griev-
ance committee, and with the usual
line of bunk prevented action by that
body, which would bring another large
number Of miners on strike.
They did not however, prevent an
unlimited amount Of criticism from be-
ing heaped on those who are really
responsible for the appalling situation
prevalent at practically every mine
in this district Nor did they prevent
motion to demand special conven-
ton, at which all the conditions pre-
vailing in the district will be aired,
and the responsibility for same be
placed.
Special Convention Wanted
Today meetings of the Pennsylvania,
Hudson and Glen Alden Cd. L. & WI
general grievance bodies will meet and
the commission expects to visit all Of
them for the purpose of checking the
spread of the strike. It is, however,
believed that a special convention will
have to be called, as the demand for
same is so great.
Neal J. Ferry, chairman Of the com
mission, in a straddle statement to
the local press, admits that there may
be something connected with the
grievances hereabouts. to make the
strike iustifable, but quickly adds,
that his belief is, that radicals bent
upon the formation Of union within
the U. NJ W. of A. are in some way
responsible, as an agent of this group
has been known to, them as being
quite active for several months.
1t seems to be of no concern to any
of the officials of the union hereabouts
that the operators have repeatedly
violated the agreement. All they want
to see is the end of what they call an
outlaw strike with victory for the
operators.
