Aug. %, 1927, on framed murder
charges, after seven years impri-
sonment, during which liberal law
yers bickered with the Massachu-
sets state courts while millions
all over the world demanded free
dom for the two martyred workers.
Judge Webster Thayer, Governor
Alvan T. Fuller, and a committee
headed by President Lowell of Har-
ward University, appointed by the
governor, repeatedly refused to re-
consider the death verdict against
the two, in the face of indisputable
evidence not only of their inno-
cence, but of the fact that the
murders for which they were SEN
fenced were committed by known
gangsters.
One of the gangsters, Celestino
Madieros, who confessed the MUIR
ders, was electrocuted the sans
day as Sacco and Vanzetti, for an
other crime.
This years commemoration of
the deaths Of Sacco and Vanzetti
will be linked with the present-day
struggles of the workers against
similar and multiplying frame-ups,

the immediate release of the nine
innocent Scottsboro Negro boys

by the Communists to set fire to the
Reichstag building.
Surely Goebbels and Goering over
estimate the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
worlds public. They even reported
that van der Lubbe admitted connec-
lions with the Social Democrats as
well. In the report of the Prussian
Press Service quoted above we read:
I'm his confession the man who set
fire to the Reichstag admitted his
connection with the Social Demo-
cratic Party. Through his confess
sion the Communist-Social Demo-
cratic United Front has apparently
become an actuality."
Goebbels and Goering showed their
lack of foresight in other directions.
Immediately after the fire, according
to the offlcial report, three persons
submitted sworn testimony that they
had seen van der Lubbe in company
with the Deputies Torgler and Koe-
men in the Reichstag. The Deutsche
Allgemeine zeitung reported that
they spent several hours in the
Reichstag with the incendiary who
was arrested Monday evening. Sew
eral other persons we're also seen
near him. some Of them carrying
torches. The two deputies escaped
arrest, so we hear from an authentic
source, by making their way out of
the Reichstag building through the
heating plant which runs beneath
both the Reichstag and the official
residence building of the Reichstag
president"
Embarrassed by Torgler Surrender
Again the reader might we'll ask
why Torgler and his companions we're
permitted to walk about in full view
Of the public for hours, carrying their
torches.
The Nationalist Peoples Party,
though fully convinced of the need
OF aggressive measures against Com
munists, looked with unqualified dis
favor on the use of such methods.
When it met on Tuesday after the
fire, the Cabinet unanimously
adopted number of rigorous meas
ures directed against the Commu-
nists, and to certain extent, against
the Social Democratic Party. But
they condemned the Reichstag incl
dent, insisting that 1t must discredit
the National Front In the eyes OF the
world. There was no mincing OF
words in this Cabinet meeting. The
National Socialist motion to outlaw
the Communist Party did not pre-
vail. AS we have already suggested,

out the city. On February 25, Tenn
20, Berlin evening paper, announced
In huge headlines the discovery of
an incendiary fire in the palace of
the former Kaiser But in their ar
gurnents with the Nationalist in the
cabinet, the National Socialists were
becoming painfully aware of the
fact that it would not be easy to
force the suppression Of the Commu-
mist Party. The incendiarism with
which they had hoped to build up a
case against that party would have
to be more notwithstanding
that would arouse the people to such
a frenzy that the Nationalist would
not dare to repudiate immediate punt
tive measures against both Social
Democrats and the Communist Party.
All Nazi Chiefs in Town to Fire.
Everything was in readiness. Sig
niflcantly, not single member of the
propaganda staff Of the National So
cialist Party was listed to speak on
Monday, February 81. Hitler, that
interchangeable speaker, Goebbels and
Goering were all In Berlin.
Meanwhile enlissaries of the Ma
tional Socialist Party, led by Deputy
Heines, chief of the Silesian Storm
Troops, struggled themselves through
the cellar Of the official residence of
the Reichstag President into the
Reichstag building. Each of these
carefully selected leaders of the
Storm Troops and the Schutz-Staffel
Protective Guard, had previously
been assigned to specified posts.
When the lookout in the Reichstag
reported that the Communist Depu-
ties Torgler and Koenen had left
the building, the Nazis went to work.
In few moments the blaze was well
under way The incendiarieS then
hastily withdrew to the residence of
the Reichstag president where they
resumed their uniforms and passed
unnoticed into the street. In the
Reichstag building there remained
only van der Lubbe, with Dutch
passport, a Communist United Front
leaflet, several photographs Of der
Lubbe together with an alleged Gre
Dental from Dutch Communist op-
position group conveniently tucked
into his hip pocket. They had
thought Of everything, these National
Socialist incendiaries. Still they
committed mistakes and oversights
hardly believable. Thus the official
report (Prussian Press Service is

ment would confuse the Nazi follow
ers and restore leadership in the Ma
tional Front to Hindenburg and the
German Nationalist. They further
prepared proclamation to nation
alist Germany in which Hindenburg
revealed the Nazi plans, accusing
Goering and Hitler OF connivance in
the Reichstag fire and calling upon
the millions Of Nazi supporters to
take their stand behind Hindenburg
to save the National Front from
Marxisr. In this way, 1t was hoped,
the Nationalist masses could be won
over to support military dictator
ship under Hindenburg Hindenburg
himself would stay away from the
Steel Helmet demonstration and
would spend the night Of March 8
outside of Berlin under the protection
Of the Reichswehr The Reichswehr
would be held in readiness to march.

the Nationalist needed the Commu-
mist deputies, for their removal would
mean an absolute National Socialist
majority in the parliament. The
Cabinet also denied Goering the right
to publish the forgeries found in the
Karl Liebknecht Haus. It was argued
that the publication Of these OBJ
viously forged documents would i'm
plicate the government still more
deeply in the whole unsavory affair
To the added discontinue of the
government, the Communist deputy
Torgler presented himself at Police
Headquarters on Tuesday morning
Goering was instructed to make an
official denial of the story that Torg-
Ter had given himself up.
Goering and Goebbels made the ut
most OF the chance to close down on
Communist and Socialist propaganda
during the election campaign. They
knew that the story of the Commu-
mist origin of the Reichstag fire was
believed by peasants, the petty bour-
geois and the middle class through
out the country and that these ele-
nlents would vote for the Nationalist
Socialist Party as the leader in the
fight against the. spectre of Bolshe-
visrn. But they were disquieted by
the attitude OF the German National
list Ministers in the Cabinet. They
had not been able to gain the lat
ter's consent to the suppression OF
the Communist Party. They bitterly
resented the stout resistance of the
German Nationalist, the Steel Hell
NETS and the Reichswehr to their
incessant demands, and we're more
than ever determined to rid them
selves of the iron embrace of their
partners in government. The sooner
the better. The leaders put theil
heads together
Nazi Coup Falls Through
Finally the Nazis decided on their
coup d'etat on election day. They
planned to occupy the government
district in Berlin and to call upon
Hindenberg either to consent to a
reorganization of the government OF
to resign. In this case Hindenblirg
was to appoint Hitler as acting Pres
ident and Goering as Chancellor
They also discussed the possibility OF
carrying out this bold stroke on the
occasion of huge parade of the
Storm Troops through Berlin, sched-
uled to take place on Friday. March
3, In honor Of Adolf Hitler.

know, handles matchmaking for Ma
Olson Square Garden while Brother
Charley supervises the Gardens tour
ing troupe of wrestlers and Sonny
Johnston is the power behind the
throne at St. Nicholas Arena. The
family supplies promoting, managing
matchmaking, seconding, water-boy
and general phenagling service to a
multitude of house-fghters, three or
four Of whom appear on every pro-
gram Of number of clubs.
When investigated the Johnston
boys invariably assume an I-ain't-
heard -nothing-I nothing
nd-I-don't?know nothing attitude
The wounded look which creeps into
Jimmy's big brown eyes beats ZaSu
Pitts at her best. Withal, the boy is
glib.
When asked if he managed Lew
Farber who fought on last Thursday
Garden card, Jimmy assured the
Commission that Lew "just came to
me in the Garden and asked where
he could get manager. l told him /
wasn't interested in managing fight
ers. I sent him up to the st. Nicholas
Arena and told him he might find a
manager there. That's all know
about it,"
Then came the turn of Sonny who
heads st. Nicholas Arena NO" he
said, II don't manage fighters either.
They just call me on the phone and
ask for advice. I give them free
advice and tell them where they can
get matches"
Dan Parker reports Brother Char
ley's turn on the stand: HE, too, has
nothing to do with managing fighters
or wrestlers, he said. He was espe-
cially positive of this when the Com
mission asked why his wrestlers didn't
wrestle the Curley grapplers and give
the public some real matches instead
of the sickening burlesques which
now prevail. Curley, who was also
summoned, agreed on the spot to let
any of his herd meet the Royal Fam
lily mopes." Charley said 'he'd have
to ask the wrestlers individually as
he didn't manage them
How Curley happened to be on the
spot is one of those sweet mysteries.
Goodness knows, it may have some
thing to do with General Phelans
sudden squirt of activity in behalf OF
clean sport. Yes, the very military
chairman of the Boxing Commission
hove straight to Fugazy Bowl and
gave the Garden bumpers real TOP
sergeant heart heart talk.
Elbow punching, crawling through
the ropes, bare foot graphing, drop
kicking, flying tackles and head-on
collisions are barred" he admon-
ished." And remember violations OF
these rules will result in your i'm
mediate suspension"
AS it happened, the immediate re-
suit of the talk was dull show which
had the customers bowling for blood
Joe Stecher continued his breathtak-
ing march toward title match" by
pinning Abe Kashey with his bally-
hcoed but boring body scissors. This
is the initial stage Of the building-up
campaign which never fails.
