Harry SlncIaiy--- Sam Bonita

We predicted that Harry Sinclair would be acquitted.
In doing So pointed that the Of the millionaire
Swindler is neither SaccO Vanzett.
The criminal couldn't touch Sinclair because the criminal
the protection of the class of which Sinclair is
and for the crushing of the enemies of that class
Sinclair guilty and everybody knows it. But Sinclair has
acquitted because the interest of the ruling class that
he should be acquitted The fact alone that Sinclair is multi
millionaire many times sufficient to his acqultta
But other facts which made his acqua douby
Sinclair brbed the cabinet of Warren Harding which with
slight notifications became and still the cabinet of Calvin Cool
dge Members present Coolidge cabinet handled personally
the bride funds of Sinclair Coolidge himself solicited funds
Sinclair the form of the stolen property which
paid Coodge election to the vcepresdency and Coolidge
today still president by virtue of the gigantic swinde
thus only member of the class too high to be
touched by the criminal law but also nseparbe part of the
ruling dynasty" of capital.
Sinclair Free it the opinion of the capitalist press
that his acqa the end of the court actions growing out OF
the bribery of two administrations of the United States govern
The Indictment of the other oil millionaire, Edward L.
Doheny brbg Hardng and Coodge secretary of the
terror Albert Fall and the Indictment of Fall for accepting the
bride, will be dropped the capitalist Coolidge
Mellon and Hoover have not been indicted and the thought of
the Indictment of any of them is inconcevabe
The machinery of criminal fail operate in
regular fashion when the interests of the class which controls
that machinery are at stake
the picture; here of the trial of Sam
Bonita representative of the working class, engaged in
leading the struggle of the anthracite coal miners against the
capitalists who operate these mines
The machinery of the law in that also did not fail to
work Just Sinclair known to be guilty of bribery in mil
lions Sam Bonita known be innocent of crime Yet
hehoe of prison the ground that he did not let himself
lie shot to death by gunman of the coal capitalists
Both the acqta of the millionaire brbe and the conviction
Of the honest mine worker Justice Not abstract justice not
metaphysical justice usticeabovethe classes but actual
justice the United States of America 1928
is the justice of the ruling cacaptais class justice There
justice except class justice There will time, after
class struggle when the working class will rule and when
working class justice will be administered In the present time
the workers every incident of the rotten
corrupt actions capitalist to learn the nature of CAPT
talist class rule.
The courts of law in the United States agencies of capital
Judges every essential respect merely special types
of clerks employed by the big capitalists Trial by jury
sidered buwark of liberty is in presentday fe nothing
than empty which the influence of big capital
the middle sections of the population eher by bribery
oherwise utilized to manifest popular accord with the will
of capital.
In single in many years at criminal trial in which
class struggle reflected there been defeat the
will of the capitalist that particular section of capital
lists involved against the workers the farmers If in few
labor prisoners of capitalist courts have been acquitted
these concessions to working
camor in raw to be expedently put through
The working must learn put faith in the capitalist
class courts The workers must fight their cham
pons from capitalist Justice and in the struggle learn how to
overthrow the ruling class of Sinars Coodge and Melons
