MESSAGE TO COOLIBGE. To President Coolidge at Rapid City, S. D., today the Sacco- Vanzetti Defense Committee sent a telegram again pleading for a federal inquiry. The message read: i “According to press reports you have intimated that you! could not intervene in the Saceo-Vanzetti case except upon the recommendation of the Department of Justice. Mr. President, | we respectfully ask, how can the Department of Justice recom- mend a federal investigation of the Sacco-Vanzetti case when the Department of Justice is itself deeply involved in it—it is true! through the activities of a former administration, Yet the inter-/| ests of the nation rise above the interests of petty functionaries.” | Arrive From New York. { Other demonstrators who have ar- More than a thousand workers! rriyed from New York for the silent | arrived here from New York today protest were Rex Stout, of the Amer-| to take part in the giant demonstra- jican Civil Liberties Union; William | | their names, addresses and descrip- tions taken.
