Ben Cold and Left
Wing Fur Workers
In Jail at MineOId

Ben Gold, I. Shapiro, S. Mencher
and eight other members of the New
York Joint Board of the Furriers
Union are in Jail today at Mineola,
Long Island.
1t was Judge Smith of Nassau
County who sent them there yester-
day; but it is William Green, Mat
thew Vol, Edward F. McGrady,
Hugh Frayne of the A. F. of L. ma
chine who have plotted for the past
six months to get them behind prison
bars.
Prosecutor Praises Machine.
The proof of this frame-up was I'M
mistakable in the court proceedings
at Mineola yesterday. In the pres
ence of the prospective jurors, be-
fore the full courtroom, the district
attorney, Elvin Edwards, demanded
that the Judge withdraw bail from
the II workers who were to be placed
on trial; in his fervid appeal to the
court he stated that there is fight
going on between the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Joint Board
whom these people represent" and
"the Joint Board is using methods of
terrorism which the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is trying to do away
with"
Argument Irrelevant.
This had absolutely no connection
with the Mineola case, which grew
out of the strike of last year before
the present struggle within the union
had begun in its present form. 1t
followed the announcement of two of
the Joint Board Charles
Weeks, former district attorney, and
George Levy-that they were ready
with their case in behalf of Ben Gold
and l. Shapiro.
This address to the judge also fol-
lowed the plea of Henry A. Udohart,
who is TO defend the, eight athez
workers, asking for a postponement
of his case until Wednesday because
he was not fully prepared.
Withdrew Bail.
In spite of the fact that the case
of Gold and Shapiro was ready for
the trial, which had been set for this
morning, Judge Smith withdrew bail

WORKERS MUST Save SACC0 AND
vANzETTI, SAYS WORKERS PARTY
BY C. E. c., Workers Communist Party.

Sacco-Vanzetti case was never a
legal but always a political case.
Legally Sacco and Vanzetti are inno-
cent of the crime charged against
them. They could not be convicted.
Politically they are guilty" of hav-
ing fought for the workers against
capitalism. For this crime capitalist
Massachusetts decided to murder
them. AS an obedient hangman of
capitalist Massachusetts, Webster
Thayer decreed the murder. And as
an efficient tool of capitalist Massa-
chusetts the supreme court of that
state now approved of this decree.
Save Sacco, Vanzetti.
Workingmen and workingwomen:
Sacco and Vanzetti are to be muir
dered because they are of us and for
us. We cannot permit this. 1t is an
act of class war of the capitalist
class against the working class. The
courts of Massachusetts acted in the
name of capitalism against our COM
rades, Sacco and Vanzetti. We
workers must act unitedly for our
comrades. Our solidarity with our
politically prosecuted comrades, Sac
co and Vanzetti, must be expressed
in a united and irresistible demand:
Freedom For Sacco and Vanzettiv y
Capitalist Massachusetts has used
it's legal machinery against our COM
rades, Sacco and Vanzetti, as a poll
teal weapon to condemn them.
Mass Movement.
We workers must use our political
will, transformed into a united mass
movement, as the only power left to
get the legal freedom of Sacco and
Vanzetti.
Sacco and Vanzetti are innocent!
Their execution is murder!
We demand freedom for Sacco and
Vanzetti,

The full bench of the supreme
court of Massachusetts, handed down
a decision sustaining the action of
Judge Webster Thayer in denying a
new trial to Nicolo Sacco and Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti.
With this decision a legal battle
ends which has all along been really
a political battle. The authorities Of
Massachusetts,, in league with the
federal authorities, had determined
to "get" Sacco and Vanzetti for their
activities as revolutionary workers.
Because those activities did not pro-
vide a legal basis for prosecution
against them it was decided to fas-
ten a crime upon the intended VIC
Tins. They were charged with MUIR
der. The prosecution was so con-
scious of the weakness of its frame
ups that while it indicted Sacco and
Vanzetti for murder, it tried them
for their revolutionary opinions and
activities.
The press was flooded with "anti-
red" propaganda against them. The
stage of the trial was set against a
now existent danger of revolution
airy coup. The jury was pumped full
of patriotic" insanity. After it was
convinced that Sacco and Vanzetti
were "enemies of the U. S. govern
ment," the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty Of murder against the de-
PENDANTS. The frame-up was so out
rageously obvious that even out
spoken capitalist papers could main
tain their cloak of responsibility only
by demanding a new and "fair"
trial for Sacco and Vanzetti.
But mere demand for justice and
fairness for Sacco and Vanzetti can
not induce capitalist Massachusetts
to release it's victims. Webster
Thayer was never judge in this case,
but hangman. The supreme court of
Massachusetts, was never a legal
body in this case, but executor. The
