VCOURAGED by the refusal of A. F. of L. officialdom to fight for Sacco and Vanzetti, exultant over their failun: to make one single ef- fort to crystallize the tremendous mass protest into a nationally organ- ized movement, the coal barons and their government will not fail to in- tensify the drive on the miners’union. Composed largely of foreign-born workers—there are thousands of miners who are Italians as were Sac- co and Vanzetti—every active mem- ber of the United Mine Workers of America is in danger from the frame-up. Green’s “faith in American institu- tions” serves only to increase their danger just as it aided the. murderers of Sacco and Vanzetti. WE ask President Green if his “faith in American institutions” includes faith in that other typical American institution—the injunction, the twin brother of the frame-up.

Only power will force respect.” “Begin at once to organize the unorganized millions, lay t pun- the frame-up in order that the industrialists might strike terror into the hearts of the foreign-born workers who comprise the} majority of slaves in heavy industry in America. The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti s a class challenge to} working class of the United States. Their bodies were con- | temptuously and defiantly hurled at the feet of the workers. But this bestial act will inevitably evoke retaliation. The monsters who committed this crime may think the “incident” will be closed after a few indignant and impotent protes But the steadily rising mass fury of the workers will convince them that this challenge has been accepted and that from henceforth every ounce af energy will be devoted toward creating organizational machin- ery that will make a repetition of this crime impossible in the not distant future. The ruling capitalist class, as a cla: is responsible for this crime—let us never forget that fact. In class war certain in- dividuals are used to carry out cretain policies. The individual who was most conspicuous during the last months against the! fight for the liberation of these workers was Alvan T. Fuller, | governor of Massachusetts.

That he was promised political | favors is clearly revealed by the comment of the New York Times, which denies any such intent on Fuller’s part. Says the Times: | “The insinuation, to which a certain publicity has been given, that Governor Fuller was actuated by political ambition is too mean and crawling for notice.” Not all the cheap sneers at those who properly brand the con- duct of Fuller as that of a murderer trying to win the applause | of his class in order to achieve further distinction in his chosen! political role will change the damning facts in this ease.
