Current Events

THO the investigation of milk graft
in the New York City health de-
partment cost the municipality $780,
900 and the grafters are alleged to
have benefited to the tune of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, acting
district attorney Ferdinand Pecora
believes there is no basis for further
indictments. The milk grafters are
lucky in not being involved in strike
for better conditions for the workers
and their dependents. Grating under
a capitalist government is a dignified
and respectable profession unless
practised by those who slip on the
political banana peel.
CURELY it is a more henious crime
~ to distribute adulterated milk in a
city of several million people than to
plead for the lives Of two innocent
workers doomed to death by the rul
ing classes of the United States in
general and of Massachusetts in par
ticular. Yet hundreds Of workers
have been jailed and thousands beaten
by police all over the country for
demonstrating for Sacco and Vanzetti
while the crooks that poison the food
supply are allowed to escape.

IA the Jesuit order in the United
States reinforces with typical Jesuit
sophistry the decision of the Massa-
chusetts hangmen (Which was carried
out) to murder Sacco and Vanzetti.
This is not surprising The catholic
church which has never relinquished
the theory of temporal power is
nevertheless a bulwark of capitalist
society all over the world. 1t is the
handmaiden of catholic, protestant
and agnostic governments alike. 1t
serves the British government in
western Africa, the French govern
ment in Syria and despite occasional
tiffs with Mussolini, it assists the
murderous Fascist government in
Italy to cruelty workers and peasants
regardless Of religious belief or poll
tical sympathies.
THE ruling classes of the United
States were somewhat divided on
the advisability of executing Sacco
and Vanzetti before the fatal switch
was thrown. But once the two work
ers were burned in the electric chair,
practically every mouthpiece of the
capitalist system, from liberal to con-
servative, opened fire on the militant
workers that insisted on pointing out
to the labor movement the lessons
and the significance of the execution
of the two innocent laborers.
THE Jesuit organ declares that Sacco
