A huge crowd, aided by uniformed

AS Cook and Smith entered by the

into conference by the premier to dis
cuss the possibility of the operators
proceeding to negotiate district agree
ments for the settlement of the strike,
these district agreements to be later
given approval by the national body

has recently opposed district agree
ments in previous negotiations.
After the conferences were under

RY EsrHER LoWELL


Federated Press stan correspondent)
BOSTON, Sept. II. - The prosecu.
ton in the Saceo-Vanxettl case today
opened UP by attacking the credlblllty
of celestIno MadeIros, whose eonfes-
sion declares that neither Of the two
italian workers are guilty of the
murder charged against them. Asslst-
ant District Attorney Dudley Ranney
said that it was common for criminals
to confess crimes Of others, citing
the Kelly case In Massachusetts,.
Ranney charged that Sacco had
lacked diligence by destroying the
early notes of Madeiros concerning
the Braintree crime. He stated that
both Sacco and Vanzetti lacked dill
gence by not filing the affidavit of the
spy Ruzamenti when former defense
council Fred Moore obtained it four
years ago, and also for apparently
coneealing the Moller testimony i'm
phcating Joe Morelli three years. ago.
Thompson Punctures Argument
Defense Counsel William Thompson
had argued that these documents
were meaningless when secured with
out the light of the Madeiros confess
sion.
Ranney attacked the introduction
Of evidence of spies being active
against Sacco and Vanzetti as iTrele-
want. ''Altho it may be called an
extreme method he said, police in
, timidation is not unusual" He at
sacked former Federal Agents Wsy
and Letherman for violating secrecy
the watchword of detectives, implying
breach of loyalty" Ranney con
tinues tomorrow.
Thompson, in closing, hit at Judge
Fhayer's acceptance of the theory OF
consciousness of guilt in charging the
Sacco-Vanzetti jury. He asked for the
same test for the Morellis when corn
cred, as the Jacobs affidavit shows.
This case started in an atmosphere
of persecution and intolerance" said
Thompson. He attacked the notorious
Red raids" of 1920 and explained
that the so-called consciousness of
guilt" of Sacco and Vanzetti was
their fear of the fate that awaited
them merely for being radicals
Thompson again emphasized the un.
answered testimony of federal agents
who believed Sacco and Vanzetti to
be innocent of the Braintree crime.
He insisted that no Interior purpose
should be permitted to enter into the
decision as to whether Sacco and Van
zetti were guilty or innocent.
Enough for New Trial.
THE mere suppression of evidence
by federal authorities is sufficient to
grant new trial." said Thompson.
He reiterated the fact of the world
interest in the case and said the deal
ing with elementary questions OF right
or wrong was not legal technically.
During the speaking, Judge Thayer
was smiling sarcastically and seems
to be more at ease since the states
case was begun.

STANDARD OIL

Rockefeller Ships
tspeoIaI to The Daily Worker,

SHANGHAI, Sept. II. Dispatches
from the Hanl1ow region indicate that
imperialist interests are trying to pro-
yoke situation that will lead to Unit
ed States Intervention in China
against the Cantonese. An unidenti-
fed shore battery hidden behind
Standard Oil property and foreign
houses at Chingling XII has fired up
on an American mine sweeper, which
answered with machine guns. Two
Standard Oil boats are being guard
ed by U. S. marines.
Protect Rockefeller.
Reports of the affair wirelessed to
Washington by Admiral Williams of
the Asiatic fleet admits there were
no hits or casualties, due to the fact
that the emplacements were so To-
Gated that heavy gunfire would seri-
ously endanger Standard Oil COM
pany and foreign houses"
The ship fired on was a U. S. mine
sweeper, the Pidgeon. II is regarded
in nationalist circles that remnants
OF the reactionary troops OF WI Pei-fu
in collision with imperialists in the
foreign quarters are trying to pro-
woke clash between the United
States and the Canton government.
Cantonese Advance.
The successful advance OF the Can
tonese continues, now being mainly
directed against Sun Chuan-fang, and
the fighting has forced Suns troops
to general retreat down the Yangtze
100 miles below Hankow. The Can
tonese are engaged with the retreat
ing troops OF Sun at Wusueh. 20 miles
above the important city OF Kiukiang.
The Cantonese are also continuing
the siege Of Wuchow. They have per-
mitted foreigners 10 leave the city to
obtain food for others in the city,
mostly Americans. Here, too. the
troops OF Sun are surely facing defeat.
Warns Against Provooation.
The Picking government has pro-
tested to the British against any punt
tive expedition IN the upper Yangtze,
stating that anti-British feeling is 80
acute at Chungking that any more
provocative attacks by the British
may result in slaughter OF all for
eigners in Chungkng.

clean-cut Issue.
AS the situation stands now, there
is a clean-cut issue between the reac-
tionaries led by Fishwick and the
progressives led by Joseph Tumulty of
the Springfield sub-district. The ex-
posure Of Harrington in the role Of
retainer of the Peabody Coal Com
pany puts the reaetionaries on the de-
fensive. So far none of them, out
side Of John l.. Lewis commented pub
licly on the matter To all appear
ances they do not consider the sell
out question that should interest the
coal diggers of Illinois.
To Refresh Memories.
The reactionaries hope that the min
ers will forget all about harrington in
the coming campaign. But the coal
diggers know that Fishwick and Sneed

district machine are tarred with the

THE league of nations, organized os-

and France for control The league
can be of use to the winner in the
diplomatic war that is being waged be-
tween the two countries. All this
ijockeying for permanent seats and
inon-permanent seats on the council
has to do with this rivalry between
the former allies.

sEngiand, no doubt will drag in some
other puppets and the game will con-

RTNHE Journal of Commerce of New
4 York, considered the leading busi-
ness newspaper in the United States,
has published a special edition on the
lSoyiet Union. with the object of arous-
ing public opinion in favor of recogni-
Etion OF the Q. S. S. r. by the United
States. The Journal of Commerce
Shas turned out an excellent piece of
work. There are articles by promi-
nent individuals in the Soviet Union,
i'm Germany, France, England and the
United States All agree that the OPP
portunities for extending American
business in Russia are great. Maps
are printed showing the various kinds
of mineral wealth with which the soil
abounds, and where those minerals
are located.
TNHE Journal of Commerce makes 1t
4 quite clear that Communism is Just
as repugnant to its capitalist soul as
it is to William Green. But much cap
ital is lying idle in the United States
sand 1t is looking for job. A dollar
in profit from Russia is just as well

dollar from Italy. The U. s. S. R. has
no 1se for capitalism and is building
