Today the committee elected by the unemployed workers of New York as the spokesmen for their demands for “work or wages,” will go before a capitalist court, It will be “Gui The verdict is already assured. The personal fate of the five members of the workers’ committee is comparatively not important. But it is very important that the masses of workers outside of this capitalist court should understand the nature of the proceedings there. These proceedings will be a solemn farce intended only to cover up the fact that the capitalist class is striking a blow at the working class by imprisoning the com- mittee elected to present the workers’ demands on the city govern- he laily NEW YORK, FRIDAY, APRIL Comprodaily New York City, 11, 1930, PION KATE SUBSCRI and Bronx, WORKERS’ COMMITTEE FACES CAPITALIST COURT TODAY |Support “Daily Worker” for Workers Relief; [eee SELF; FOOLED | BY VET BUREAU /—= Pan INTERNAT | ONAL | ai ORL WAYS ' |EF tee .

In order that the working class will not have any illusions in such matters we point out that the workers’ committee has already been denied all rights which are supposed to be fundamental to American “democracy”—the right to bail, the right to a jury, and the right even to be heard in court (for example when their attorney was ordered in the same court to “shut up and sit down” in a former appearance). Such “rights” are reserved for thieves such as Edward L. Doheny and any others in the category of members or friends of the ruling class. The denial of the “rights” of the workers’ committee as defend- ants in court has been so transparent as to cause the “liberal” New York Telegram to declare yesterday that “it was a particularly re- grettable thing that it was the chief city magistrate himself whe was stampeded into a viclation of the spirit of Amer iberties in this case.” To this we answer that the imprisonment of repr the workers is the most typical and usual application of “the spirit of American liberties,” that is—the spirit of the e: dictatorship which rules this country.
