Fight To The End To
Save SaccO, Vanzetti
Continued from Pane Onel

! a struggle about evidence, but a
struggle of class against class. The
capitalist courts, the whole machinery
1 of the law, conceals the evidence, lies
about it, and then murders our COM
rades. Class hate, and not evidence,
is the reason why the capitalist class
of America, acting through the exc
cutioner on this Monday night, will
burn to death in the electric chair
two noble and fearless men whose
only crime has been their devotion for
the cause of the liberation of their
class.
The crime which takes place in
Dedham Jail this Monday night shows
that the whole apparatus of the law
in this country is an apparatus Of
murder and repression, for the bene-
fit of the prosperous upper classes,
for the exploitation of the working
class and their merciless punishment
behind the shield of hypocritical legal
forms in cases where bold and honest
members or masses of the working
class dare to expose the system of
exploitation. The capitalist court
I lied when it declared that Sacco and
Vanzetti received trial "as free and
impartial as the lot of humanity will
admit" Sacco and Vanzetti received
seven years of torture in punishment
for their loyalty to their fellow work
ers, and now they go to their death
as martyrs of their class.
Show Their Malice.
The capitalist class courts in muir
dering our brothers expose the hid
eous face of American capitalism to
the whole world. Millions of workers,
farmers and all honest opponents of
capitalist terrorism in seven contin-
ents look up this CHASTITY crime of the
cruellest capitalism that has ever
been known. Millions of workers for
the first time begin to understand
what American democracy" is.
| The tremendous demonstrations
which the workers of foreign coun-
tries have made in behalf of Sacco
and Vanzetti played heavy part in
causing the American imperialists to
slow up their criminal plans for a
few days in order to apply a few
more legal tricks intended only to
cover the crime and confuse the minds
of the workers. But the workers
throughout the world will never have
the hideous bloody picture of Amer
lean justice erased from their minds.
The workers of the world learned to
hate the brutal and callous American
capitalist class. The political institu-
lions of America, the federal state of
this country, will be better understood
and better fought by the workers of
this country and other countries in
the future great struggles which will
arise out of the imperialism of the
capitalist United States.
Nasty Role of Liberals.
The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti
crowd many establishments before
the eyes of our class. The nasty, con-
temptible role of such so-called lib
erals as Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes
is exposed in this crisis when Holmes
is obliged to function for his class in
| denying writ of habeus corpus to
innocent men about to be assassinated
by the state of Massachusetts. Again
the cowardly part of Senator William
E. Borah--the role of the capitalist
/ who plays with liberal phrases e
serving as the final trickster of the
working class-appears when Borah
at the last minute speaks for the
death of the enemies Of the capitalist
class, advising an who will listen to
him not Ito pay the slightest atten-
ton to foreign protests or mob pro-
tests at home" And still again, the
function of the socialist party of
America, whose leadership is under
the influence of the capitalist class
theology Of this country, shows its
true function in the class struggle by
refusing to give even it's moral sup
port to the only means which can
save Sacco and Vanzetti--mass de-
monstrations and strikes.
Can BE Saved.
But the Workers Communist
Party of America appeals to the work
ers not to be cowed or terrorized by
the ruling class. Only few hours
remain in which the workers can yet
save their brothers from death.
Mass demonstrations and strikes
have already caused the American
capitalists to hesitate and postpone
their criminal plans. More strikes and
demonstrations can cause them to
hesitate again. Still more strikes and
mass demonstration can save Sacco
and Vanzetti, even at this hour, if
the American workers will act with
enough energy and devotion to their
cause.
Sacco and yanzetti can yet be
saved!
! Strikes and demonstrations will
