GHT eee Convention Receives Greeting From Comintern) Tr the investigation of milk graft in the New York City health de-| partment cost the municipality $60,- | 000 and the grafters are alleged al 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 a strike for bettet conditions for the workers and their dependents. Grafting under a capitalist government is a dignified and respectable profession unless practised by those who slip on the political banana peel. URELY 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 coun’ for demonstrating for Sacco and Vanzetti while the crooks that poison the food supply are allowed to escape. MERICA” the official organ of 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.
