A circular calling for a one-day protest strike was distributed along the United Mine Workers of Ameri- ca at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Union of- ficlals said the distribution of. the circulars were not sanctioned by their organizations. Three men and & woman were ar- rested and thousands of alleged communistic papers were seized in Los Angeles. Although order marked meetings of the Sacco-Vanzett! sympathizers in Chicago, police said they had 36 radical leaders under surveillance and were guarding eight prominent public officials’ homes. In Judge’s Home Town Defense speakers addressed a crowd of about 700 in the rear of the City hall at Worcester, Mass., home of Judge Webster Thayer, trial judge in the case. There was no disorder. The Thayer home is under special guard as is the sum- mer home of Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts, at Rye Beach, N. H. Several arrests for distribution of literature, one plece of which de- cried “the bloody decision of Gover- nor Fuller” as “a challenge to la- bor in the entire world,” were made in New Haven, Conn. Call 24 Hour Strike Paris, Aug. 8 (A—The case of Ni- cola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti continued to stir the public of France today. The newspapers print long dispatches from America relat- ing every phase of the situation. Apparently satisfled with yester- day’s monster demonstration in Paris In behalf of the condemned men, the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee is seeking to make no further public manifestation, but the communist-labor organization called a 24-hour strike for today, which was expected to be extremely limit- ed, affecting principally taximen and thoee working in the building trades. The communists also arranged a protest meeting to be held in a hall on the left bank of the Seine tonight. Emile Loubet, former president of France, has cabled an ardent ap- peal to Governor Fuller of Massa- chusetts in favor of Sacco and Vang| zetti. Yesterday's demonstration was held in the Bois De Vincennes, on the outskirts of Paris, the govern- ment having banned any manifesta- tion inside the capital gates. The parade was led by Luigia Vanzetti, sister of one of the condemned men, who is contemplating a visit to America to see her brother. She carried a banner, on one side| of which was inscribed the appeal:| “Parisian people, save my brolhor‘ and Sacco. Thanks.” On the other| were the words: “People of France, the lives of my brother and Sacco; are in your hands.” A number of the banners were or- dered destroyed by the police, who{ considered them too insulting to the TUnited States. Others read: *‘Jus- tice! Justice! They are innoceht.” And “Justice! Sacco and Vanzetti were condemned to electrocution be-| cause they were friends of the peo- ple. 8ave them!" The demonstration was quiet and orderly and by six o'clock in the evening the marchers had all re- turned to the city. Troops Kept Prepared Montevideo, Uruguay, Aug. 8 (F—| Trogps are to be kept in the armor- ies tomorrow prepared for disturb- ances which may develop in connec- tion with the twenty-four hour gen- eral strike called by the labor forces as a Sacco-Vanzetti demcnstration, and which it has been announced will be of a “revolutionary charac-| ter.”” The laborites have declared| their intention of attacking all those who refuse to leave their posts. | Leaders of the movement have s sued appeals to ail workers in the republic to join the strike and re-; quested commercial houses to closc| thefr doors. Tomorrow afternoon there 18 to bé a meeting of protest| against Governor Fuller's decision that the condemned men must die. Show Elcctric Chair Moscow, Aug. 8 (P»-—\'irtually without exception, the Soviet news- papers devote first place to the Sacco-Vanzetti case, with cuts of the two men, Governor Fuller of Massa- chusetts, Sacco’s daughter and of the clectric chair. Some of them print gruesome details of the process of electrocution and in one case there is a lengthy\biography of Governor Fuller. There also are cartoons represent- ing 8acco and Vanzetti as ‘‘victims of capitalistic vengeance.” Pravda, expresses the opinion that the American bourgeoisie may pay dearly for the determination to con. summate the “legal murder.” "It de- clares the wave of {ndignation sweeping over the union is proof of the readiness of the proletariat | to do “revoiefionary duty." Strike to be Individual Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Aug. § (®— Rinaldo Cappell president of the distriet No. 1, United Mine Workers of America, today declared that if mine workers of the section under his jurisdiction declare a one day strike tomorrow as a protest against the execution of Sacco and Vanzet- ti, they will do it as individuals and not with the sanction of the execu- tive board of the district. The district executive’s statement followed the distribution of eirculars among the - many local unions in which all crafts were requested to remain away from work tomorrow as a protest against the execution of the condemned men. Cappellini said that Sacco and Vanzetti had the sympathy of the mine workers and that everything in their powér had been done to help. To suspend operations would be-a direct violation of the existing agreement .Dbetween miners and operators, Cappellinl avowed. Paris, Aug. 8 (P—Most of the taxis in PAtls were parked in their garages thik aftérnoon as part of a protest striké against the éxecutién of Sacto ahd Vanszetti, and very lit- tle Svork was done in the bullding tradgs. Otfferwise, however, condi- labor organization had announced a 24 hour protest strike. There were several sporadic demonstrations in various parts of the city, but all were on a small scale and without violence. The tramway, subway and bus companies reported but few absent- ees. General strikes were ordered in several of the suburbs and provin- cial cities but no reports had been received late this afternoon indicat- ing that the strike was on. Republican guards today joined embassy and the chancellery and ac- cess to the buildings were dificult even for American tourists. Sheldon ‘Whitehoust, American Charge D'Af- faires, who has received several pro- ests petitions, said that he had not | had any today. JUDGE SANDERSON DENIES PETITIONS (Continued from Firsl Page) Telegram to Coolidge A telegram to President Coolidge urging him to ask Gov. Alvan T. { Fuller to halt the execution while the chief executive investigate the case was dispatched by the Sacco- Vanzetti defense committee shortly after the close of a busy Sunday which saw several spectacular moves. 1t called upon President Coolidge “to consider this momentous situa- tion most carefully,” and, referring to the files of the department of jus- tice which it has been the contention of the committee would reveal col- lusion between the prosecution and the federal government, declared that these would explain the con- duct of the condemned men when arrested. It has been claimed for Sacco and Vanzetti that the “con- sciousness of guilt” exhibited at the time of their arrest was, in reality a fear of deportation for radical af- filiation. Other highlights of a day fraught with action included the dispersal on Boston Common of two meetings at which speakers had sought to ad- dress large crowds in behalf of the condemned men, and a call for a *“national march on Boston” by 000 leaders in letters, science; education and social reform.” These the committee said would | wear black arm bands and peaceful- Iy picket the state prison at the hour | of execution and come “armed with, inextinguishable faith that Sacco and Vanzetti must live.” Another development of the day was police announcement that an attempt apparently had been made to enter the home of Justice George A. Sanderson of the state supreme court at Cambridge. One apartment had been entered, but money and valuables left un- touched while four others in the building bore “jimmy” marks on their doors. The justice’s home was not so marked but authorities point- | ed out that his name is not on the ! building directory, indicating a -be- lief that those responsible might have been attempting to locate his place by a trial and error method. Despite other developments, at- tention today remained largely riveted on the sweeping opinion of Gov. Fuller's advisory committee which, summing up an investiga- tion into the case which closely paralleled that of the .chief execu- tive, was in full accord with the governor's own decision not to grant clemency to the two men. The opinion held that the men had a fair trial, that although Judge Thayer had been guilty of “a grave breach of official decorum,” he had not been prejudiced during the trial, and that none of the new evi- dence offered by the defense was of sufficient “Wweight to warrant a new trial or to rouse reasonable doubt of the fairness of conviction. The confession of Celestino Ma- deiros, implicating himself in the murder, was branded as worthless, and little credence was put in the slayer's story of the crime. Ma- efros is scheduled to go to the chair the same time as Sacco and Vanzetti for another murder. In the meantime, the condemned jmen contihued their hunger strike. 1t was Sacco’s 23rd day but Vanzetti has eaten irregularly. The health of neither man has been affected as vet. Dedham, Mass., Aug. 8 (UP)— {Judge Webster Thayer, who presid- ed at the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, ar- rived at Dedham courthouse short- ly before 2 p. m. today, guarded by several state troopers and police- men, The elderly judge. clad in a light gray suit, stepped from his automo- bile and walked spryly up the steps of the courthouse, where he was to hear the motion for a new trial for the condemned radicals.

Aug. 8 (UP)—Former Premier Ramsay MacDonald will be asked by Sacco-Vanzetti sympathiz- ers here to appeal personally (o Governor Fuller of Massachusetts and President Coolidge for clemency for Sacco and Vanzetti. The appeal was decided on by 1,- 200 demonstrators at Hyde Park yesterday after a call at the Ameri- can embasy had given little satisfac- tion. The sympathizers marched to the embassy and a deputation of five was admitted by the ‘English door- man. He was the only person at the embasty. The deputation was non-plusse¢ at finding Ambassador Houghton away—he had gone to Scotland for the week-end—but finally persuaded the doorkeeper to accept a copy of a resolution de- manding the release of the con- demned men. Earlier in the afternoon 7,000 persons attended a mass meeting in Trafalgar square where a mock clectrocution was held at the Nel- son monument. An ex-service man, wearing medals on his chest, was strapped in a chair, a black cap was pulled over his head, and a switch was pulled. A button and the flashing of elec- tricity gave it a realistic touch. “This is what the capitalists are going to do to Sacco and Van- zetti,”” Tom Mann, former laborite member of parliament, said. “In the United States the capitalists are fighting the workers while in Eng- land the workers are fighting the capitalists.” Bitter anti-American feeling was aroused by Mann's speech. “Down with America,’ the crowd shouted. “Down with American torturess.” Resolutions were passed, one of which notified the British govern- ment that the execution of Sacco and Vanzettl would be resisted “by every means within our power, in- cluding a general strike if neces- The meeting was orderly.

Rails vielded with the in- dustrials although the losses were not .as large. ‘The weakness of the stock mar- ket contrasted with the strength of |the cotton market, which advanced $10 a bale on publication of a bullish government crop report, showing | prospective yjeld about one millien bushels less than expected.

International Nickel and Congoleum also showed evi- dences of strength. After an early period of hesitancy, the Stock Market furned reaction- ary when some of the recent indus- trial leaders were supplied in large volume, Dapont quickly sold down 3 points, U. 8. Steel common :nd General Motors sagged a point or more above Saturday's final quota- tions, and early gains of a point or 20 in dozens of other industrials were cut down, or wiped out alto- ether.
