Open In1periaIist Policy
Suggested

MANILA, Oct. 3. - Fillpnos are
profoundly stirred at the cable reports
from Washington saying that Colonel
carmi A. Thompson, the personal
representative of President Coolidge
Is considering a Recommendation In
his report to tho president providing
for placing the Philippines and all
other "outlylng possessions" Of the
United States into a new department.
Of the government or Department of
Colonies.
A Colonial Bureau.
A second alternative considered is
placing the Islands under the CON
troll of a special Colonial Bureau in
the Department Of State. This is
also opposed by the Filipinos, who de-
mand independence, as promised them
by the United States.
At present the War Department
rules the islands, and Filipinos are
very bitter against what is called the
Cavalry Cabinet" of General Wood.
Even the few who modify their de-
mands for Independence detest the
present baTTack rule.
Firm for independence.
The National Supreme Council has
endorsed this resolution, submitted by
Senator Quezon for action by the Leg
islature:
THE Filipino people are firm in
their stand that the only solution of
the Philippine problem consistent with
their aspirations and the permanent
interests OF the country is to grant i'm
mediate, absolute and completevinde-
pendence to the Philippines. In other
words, any other measure will not
satisfy the Filipino people.
The Filipino people will oppose
whatever legislative measure, admins
trative action or financial project
which may in some way postpone, re-
tard OF make impossible the conces-
sion of immediate, absolute and com
plete independence TO the Philippines -

Morelli Gang Suspected,
But Crime Was Charged
Against Sacco, Vanzetti
BY J., LOUIS ENoDAHL.

afternoon of April is, 1920, the day
of the South Braintree murder and
again made note of it. This time,
he recalls, he was on his way to
police headquarters, where he was
due at $3.50 p. m. He saw the car as
it passed him near the postotfice,
and again noted the number.
On the afternoon of April "a, 1920
he found Cole Eight touring car,
standing at the curb in front Of
Flores restaurant at Hampton and
Purchase Streets. New Bedford. This
car bore the number plate that had
been on the Buick.
&~s
Jacobs claims that Flores restau-
rant had the name of being visited
by men Of bad reputation. The
policeman went in and found Mike
Morellrs brother, Frank Morelli, at
table with three other men who
appeared to be Italians. They were
were extremely nervous at his ap-
proach. Jacobs says one was a short,
heavyset man, with wide, square
face. high cheek bones, smooth
shaver, dark brown hair, 35 TO 40
years old, weighing about It's
pounds and probably five feet, six or
seven inches tall.
This man, as Jacobs approached
the table, reached for his hip peck
ct and the policeman believed that
he was going to draw a gun. Frank
Morelli asked why jacobs was pick
ing on him all the time, and what
he wanted Jacobs asked him how
1t was that the Cole car had the
same number as the Buick he had
seen Mike driving. Frank replied
that he was in the automobile bust
ness, and that the plate was a deal
er's plate which he transferred from
one car to another.
Jacobs says he never saw the
Buick car again after April is, nor
Frank Morelli. Mike Morelli remain
ed in New Bedford for some time,
possibly a year. Then he too dis
appeared.
Thus the U. S. secret service and
the local and county police, for the
asking, had sufficient clues to lead
them to the arrest of the real Grim
mails in the South Braintree job. But
the U. s. secret service decided it
was not after ordinary criminals.
They are no real danger to capital
lists rule. They wanted Sacco and
vanzetti, the organizers of the work
ing class. SO the police laid of"
the Morelli gang, in the words of the
police inspector, Jacobs, when Sacco
and Vanzetti were arrested.
Today the United States govern
ment is faced with these facts:
The actual criminals in the South
Braintree affair are known.
Sacco and Vanzetti are proved alb
solutely innocent of any connection
with this crime.
But the real criminals are not
brought to trial for their part in the
South Braintree holdup and killing.
Instead Sacco and Vanzetti re-
main in prison, facing the electric
chair, for the crime they never com
mitted.
These facts also face the workers
Of the United States and of the
world with the challenging question,
What are you going to do about it?"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-10-05

THIS morning picked up copy
4 of The Detroit Free Press. The
first page displays the story of the
arrest Of Joseph Gomez, 26 years
old. alias James Mills, after an UNI
successful holdup of a branch of the
Jefferson Savings Bank. Cash, bonds
and liquor, valued at $4,000 were
found in his rooms.
The early edition of The Detroit
News tells of payroll bandit start
ing the day at nine o'clock by get
ting away with the $1,000 payroll of
the Cameron & King Plumbing Co.
Thus the trail of crime. bank rob-
berries, payroll holdups and what not
pours daily thru the kept press.
Sometimes the bandits and highway
men are caught. More often not.
Sometimes innocent victims of the
police system are taken, framed-up
and sent away to penitentiaries for
long terms of years.
This last is exactly what happened
in the case of the two Italian work
ers, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, arrested for, charged with
and convicted of the murders grown
out Of the South Braintree, Mass,
payroll holdup April Is, 1920.
One of the most damning admis-
sions, that helps shatter the case of
the United States government and
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
against Sacco and Vanzetti, comes
from the lips of none other than
Ellsworth G. Jacobs, of the New
Bedford, Mass, police, who de-
clares:
AT the time of the South
Braintree murder, suspect
cd the MoreIIi's, and discussed
my suspicious with the then
Police Inspector Pieraccini,
who seemed to share them.
DROPPED THE MATTER
AFTER THE ARREST OF
SAcCO AND VANZETTI."
Thus, from the very lips of the
police itself, comes the admission
that the Morelli gang of white
slavers and freight car thieves Of
Providence, r. l., was suspected of
the South Braintree crime. from the
beginning. But it remained for one
Of the members Of the gang, Cele-
stino Madeiros, five years later, in
prison, to bare the guilt of the Mo-
relli gang while all the time the
federal department Of justice and
the local prosecutors in Massachu-
sets were trying to use this crime
as a means of snufing out the lives
of Sacco and Vanzetti in the electric
chair of the laws executioner.
In an affidavit now in the hands
of Judge Webster Thayer, who has
the power to grant or refuse a new
trial to Sacco and Vanzetti, Ellis
worth G. Jacobs says he was an in
spector of police in 1920 He says
that short time before April Is
(1920) he saw Michael Morelli and
two other men in a new Buick tour
Ing car In New Bedford; the car
bore the number 154E, Rhode Island.
Morelli was then living in New
Bedford, but came from Providence,
and had bad reputation, being con-
uected with the white slave traffic.
He was an Italian, and the afiant
knew him as one of five brothers.
Jacobs says he made note of the
car number and the date in his note
book. He saw that car again on the

A special meeting Of the local was

grievances. Many miners complained
OF not receiving the wages they were

Threatens TO Smash Union.
Boss Goldstown is known in this

miners union. This is the fourth

object Of breaking the union. In fact
he openly admitted to Thomas Burke,
the militant president OF the local,
that he was going TO smash the organ

are fghting for the miners. Burke
was already discharged by the COM
pany, but a two-day strike forced the
bosses TO take him back.
