Special Despatch to THE New YonK HERALD
BosToN. Oct. 21.-Radical labor
forces in America have reacted swiftly
and powerfully to the violent protests
raised in Europe against the execu-
tion of the death sentence on Sacco
and vanzetti, Italian Communists in
jail in the village Of Dedham await
Ing death for the murder of the Brain
tree paymaster and his guard.
Reused by the bomb outrage and
threats against the lives Of American
diplomats, the Reds in the United
states are opening their purses to aid
the Boston defence committee, and
with the added funds it will be possi-
bic to carry through one of the great
est legal battles this country has
known.
The bomb set off in the home of
Ambassador Herrick in Paris appears
to have accomplished it's aim. The
eyes of the radical forces of the world
are centred on the Dedham cell and
the money is coming in to help the
condemned men.
New Englands Mooney case, as the
Sacco and vanzetti affair is known,
Is really just getting a good start, al
though 1t has kept Boston agitated for
year or longer. Now that the mur-
der has taken on an international i'm
portance and has involved several
governments, the radicals are assured
world audience for their hearing
which is exactly what. they are after.

Counsel for the condemned men and
representatives of the defence commit
tee publicity bureau at 256 Hanover
street are protesting vigorously to-day
that the Braintrcc murder case has no
possible connection with the bomb in
Paris and threats against the lives of
American Consuls General at Marseilles.
Bordeaux Lyons and other cities Of the
Old World. They add in the next breath,
however. that labor circles all over the
United States have become greatly agi-
tatcd as a result Of the European out
break and the word Is coming hourly
from some new group lending encourage
ment and giving aid.
The legal papers are prepared for the
appeal and 1t is expected most of next

NanzettI. will remain to fight. The first
appeal Is on the record of the case.
Tnen comes the argument on the excep-
lions. of which there are said to be
hundreds. Counsel will then move for a
now trial and. failing. will find tcchni-
calities on which to get the case to
the Supreme Court OF this State. Judge
Webster Thayer, who presided at the
trial. has called conference OF counsel
and State representatives TO arrange the
programme. The legal battle viii take
months. Sacco and vanzetti are safe
from the chair for a long time. whatever
may be the outcome OF the fight In the
courts.
Federal agents who are tracing the
connection between the Red centres in
the United States and the bomb centres
in Europe are concerned n knowing
what has become OF Robert ELLA. Tt
will be recalled in New York that Ella
was arrested with Andrea Sdsedo and
imprisoned by the Departm of JUS

Then Salsedo jumped to his death from
the Park Row Building. Ella was de-
ported soon thereafter and Is known now
TO be in either France or Italy.
The officials believe tha' unquestion-
abIy Ella Is one ~ the leaders working
with the Communists In Europe to stir

Boia. the radical who vas suspected
Of having participated with Sacco and

who fled TO Europe Boda and Ella are
believed 10 be the ringiesdcrs Of the
whole movement In Europe
Further evidence OF the intimate con-
rect;on -etwean these radical centres Is
shown by the fact that at the very time
Sscco and vanzett. were prrested they
were arranging for melting for the
purpose of raising funds tc help SAL
