| 5 THE DAILY WORKER HAVE YOU FIGHT BILL TO DEPORT ALIENS BY WHOLESALE Foreign-Born Workers Subject to Espionage NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—The Amer- foan Civil Liberties Union announces @ united campaign to defeat the house Bill “opening wide the doors to de- portation of aliens.” Many trade unions, societies and lberal groups are supporting the union in its war on the bill H. R. 11794 which passed the house last week and is coming before the senate immigration com- mittee. Demand Public Hearing A public hearing {s demanded by the union in a formal request and similar demands have been made by the other organizations interested. The bill changes the present deporta- tion law, giving the department of labor power to deport for alleged cause ANY ALIEN “at any time aftér entering the United States, instead of within three to fige years” as at present. “The dangers of this bill are in- calculable,” says the Liberties Union in a formal statement. “It is not part of.a general immigration bill. It does not deal with quotas or other regula- tions for the admission of aliens. It deals solely and specifically with the expulsion of aliens who are already in this country, no matter how long they may have been here.’ The bill opens the doors to deportation in many cases for trivial or technical Teasons and sujects every alien to espionage and intimidation, None can feel secure with these provisions in force. Innocent Workers Convicted “Any alien convicted of an offense for which he is sentenced to imprison- ment for a term of one year or more, is Mable to deportation, instead of as at present those convicted of an of- fense involving moral turpitude com- mitted within five years after entry. The courts frequently convict in- <mocent persons, especially so when they are aliens. “Aliens frequently get one year sentences for very slight offenses. Two small penalties amounting to- gether to 18 months, also are grounds for deportation. This bill violates the constitutional provision against an ex- post facto application of a law. It makes deportation retroactive on alians who have been here long be- fore the drafting of the bill.” ATTENTION! Don't forget to come to your convention. You are invited as visitors if you are not delegates. The convention will be held at 1902 W. Division St., 2 o’clock sharp, this Sunday, March 1. We will have an hour recess with two sessions.

History of Cai Two days before Sacco and Vanzet- ti were arrested in Brockton, Mass. —May 6, 1920—Andrea Salsedo, an Italian printer plunged from the four- teenth story of the Park Row build- ing in New York city. He had been held by the department of justice for two months charged with being a rad- ical.

For two days they were held as reds. ‘But suddenly they were charged with having committed a pay- roll hold up and having murdered two pay roll guards at South Braintree, Mass., April 15, 1920. Wm. J. Flynn, then head of the department of jus- tice bureau of investigation evidently didn’t want to have anything to do with a “red” case which would open up the whole question of how Salsedo had met his fate. The Frame-up. For weeks Sacco and Vanzetti were taken thru the towns of Massachu- setts where lived the persons who had seen the South Braintree hold up and murders. They were made to dress as had the bandits and were forced to assume certain poses suggestive of the hold up and murders. Under the circumstances a number of persons were found who said that they recog- nized them as the bandits and mur- derers. But the persons who made these so- called “identifications” were so mud- dled that the state had to bolster its case up. Lola Andrews, a woman of loose habits and a questionable past, was gotten at by the prosecuting at- torney. She was threatened and in- timidated. Carlos Goodridge a petty thief and bigamist then in jail charg- ed with larceny volunteered his ser- vices in return for a suspended sen- tence on the larceny charge. Louis Pelzer, a boy who worked in the factory near the scene of the hold- up, Was kept at work as soon as he agreed to identify Sacco, altho he was.a totally inexperienced work- man. When: the trial was over he was fired. He then told the defense he had helped to swear away the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti to keep his job. When the frame-up gang got 1im another job he swore he had lied to the defense and that his identifi- cation was a true one, The experts who took the stand to say that the bullet which killed the man for whose murder the defend- ants were on trial came from Sacco’s gun have just recently admitted that they didn’t believe there was any proof that the bullet did come from Sacco’s gun. They say that the pro- secutor knew their opinion and so put his questions as to preclude the possibility of their giving their true opinion. Roy E. Gould, a man who saw the murder and hold up and who had one ot the bandit’s bullets pass thru his coat, gave his name to the police after the murder but was never called as a witness by the state. Why? Gould could not be bulldozed by the police and the district attorney. He is not the sort of fellow to take part in fram- ing innocent men. So he was passed up by the prosecution in favor of a young boy who would lie to keep his job, a woman who didn’t want her questionable past raked up, and a horse thief, petty larceny artist and bigamist. There were other witnesses against Saceo and Vanzetti but these three were the stars. They are the people who put Sacco and Vanzetti in the shadow of the electric chair and who helped to suppress the facts as to the tures inflicted on him and jumped while insane will never be known. Sacco and Vanzetti were friends of his. They were arranging meetings thruout New England protesting against what they called his murder. rdering of Salsedo.

They chased the liber- als and labor fakers for three years and boasted about their success in remaining on good terms with them, while they pointed with scorn at the Communists, saying: “You damn revolutionists, who take your orders from Moscow! We have you isolat- ed. We have kept you out of the Cc. P. P. A. and therefore out of con- tact with the American working class. We are now in the labor movement. Our goal is reached!” * © UT odds ‘bodkins, it is not so. While the socialists were fawn- ig on the labor*fakers and holding up LaFollette’s vestments the Com- munists were going to the masses of the workers andi poor farmers. The result can be Seem in the virility and vigor of the Workers Party; it’s sure and steady grewth; the strength of its press andthe’ success of its cam- paigns. A few years ago the social- ists had a Paper.

Its campatgns for the defense of,the Michigan defend- ants, for Sacco,and Vanzetti, against child labor and..Irish famine relief are reaching millions. It is the only party in America that stands on the class struggle and is organizing the workers for the overthrow of capital- ism. It eannot be isolated from the masses because it fights for the in- terests of the masses and knows how to reach them. It is true that it is isolated from the labor fakers and the stool pigeons of capitalism in the la- bor movement. But that is its sincer- est wish. see HAT has the socialist party gained by its betrayals? It has not gained in numbers. A few of its leaders undoubtedly have made ma- terial gains. Entirely disregarding the treason of the socialist party to the working class, the brilliant man- euvering of Hillquit in trying to trans- form the socialist party into an Am- erfcan labor party, by slipping the metamorphosis over on the labor of- ficials ended in a glorious fizzle. The socialists are back now where they started from, minus their principles, which they threw overboard long ago, and their army, which either joined the Workers Party, kept on going, or deserted the wo! 1g class political movement altogether. If this is suc- cess, then Morris Hillquit is a bril- lant leader. «ee rd Milwaukeé Leader rejoices that there is no new party but a bigger socialist party. Both Berger and Morris Hillquit declared before the elections that LaFollette was a socialist. Yet both now denounce the new progressive , that was born without a name the inspiration of LaFollette.

In Lorraine, Mussolini has sent his own thugs to see that this piece of dirty work is carried thru. Acting un- der fascist orders, the police have forcibly entered and searched the hun- dreds of workers’ dwellings, and work- ers who have been found in possession of Communist papers or leaflets, or even a photograph of Lenin or Mat- teotti, have been beaten up, and then ordered to clear out. In one house two women who dared to remonstrate when the police| smashed up their poor furniture in the course of their search for “subversive literature,” were brutally maltreated.

In the mines of the Campagnie des Mines d’Azin, in the north, the chief engineer made up his mind to get rid of all the Spaniards who were work- ing there, despite that fact that they had been recruited on contract by the company. A‘ wage cut was in order, and the company wanted to substitute more submissive workers for the Spaniards. The Spaniards, holding out against the cut, were accused of revo- lutionary activity, and the expulsions began. Some of the men were sum- moned from the mine at 10;30 in the morning, and by 12:30 had already been driven across the border into Belgium. These are just a few of hundreds of similar cases of workers who have been brutally expelled without ex- Planation, without delay, pitilessly torn away from their wives and chil- dren who are left to starve. The ex- pulsions are not only being applied to the recent refugees, but also to foreign workers who have been living in France ten, and in a few cases even | twenty years. To Break Up Unions. Aside from other considerations, these expulsions of class-conscious foreign-born workers involve a very real danger for the workers of France. | Taking this opportunity to rid France | of a number of workers with revbiu- | tionary tendencies, is only a secondary matter with the Herriot government: the chief object is to frighten immi- grants away from the workers’ organ- izations, so that unorganized and de- fenseless, they will be compelled to accept any wages or hours that the bosses choose to give them. The government does not at all de- sire to put an end to immigration, but it does want the immigrant workers | to remain unorganized, in order that | there may be a steady supply of scab | | labor on hand to break the resistance | of the revolutionary French workers. Workers Fight Back. | Numbers of the workers are answer- | ing the terror directed against them | by taking their stand beneath the ban- | ner of the revolutionary unions and or- ganizing for resistance. “But,” said one of the Italian comrades, “our re- sistance cannot be really effective un- less the French proletariat comes to our aid!” The Communist deputies have re- peatedly brought up the question of exclusions in the chamber of deputies, but the socialists and the left bloc have taken absolutely no action in the matter, Commenting on this fact, L’Human-| ite, the French Communist daily,| writes: “Thus it is to the working class alone that we appeal, All workers, | unions and federations must show) their solidarity with these hunted for-| eign workers, In the continual ar- rival in France of new foréign con- tingents we see the will to break down the rights of the workers, re- placing by unorganized workers those affiliated with the left unions, The proletariat must fight for the defense of comrades of all nationalities who are the victims of oppression,” Give your shopmate this copy of the DAILY WORKER—but be sure to see him the next day to 166 W.
