This bill, which has gone to the sen- ate, is a direct menace to every work- er, who arouses the antagonism of ) the bosses of this country thru their ) Activities, every foreign-born worker who does not please the United States fovernment, may be conv: of “some criminal act,” and if sentenced to one year may at once be deported. The government thought that by enacting the selective immigration law, it would be abte xo cripple the aspirations of the labor movement. But the government forgot that the . foreign-born workers in this country, who were among the most oppressed, are also among tie leaders in the rad- ical and left wing movement of the country. It forgot that these alien workers who came to this country to improve their living standard find con- ditions that in many respects are worse than in Europe. Hence there is no alternative for them but to link up with the radical and revolutionary movement of the United States—and fight. Now the governmente rakes the sec- ond step, which is a threat that if the workers are considered undesirable they will\ be deported without any further preliminaries. They are charged with a “crime,” sentenced and deported. This puts their fate in the hands of the immigration commission- er and the case is closed; Also Menaces Untons. This step mengces not the revolu- tionary movement alone. The trade union movement of this country is made up, to a great degree, of for- eign-born workers. The most militant sections of the American Federation of Labor, those sections agamst which the reactionary officials have proceed- ed with such measures as suspensions and expulsions, are composed primar- ily .of foreign-born workers. The workers in these unions today are conducting a fight on a double front against the bosses and against the reactionary officialdom. It will be a very simple matter for the govern- ment to take advantage of this situa- tionat' the behest of the bosses and at times of the reactionary leaders of the trade’ unions, to persecute these foreign-born workers and get rid of | them by deportation methods. This ig one of the most serious | threats that have been made against | 4 the revolutionary and militant trade union movement in recent years. It stands as a challenge to the whole working class, which dare not allow itself to be divided on the question of native and foreign-born. The labor movement must not allow the reac- tionary house of representatives and later the senate to follow the behest of “Silent Cal,” the “best of presi- dents,” to push this measure thru congress without the workers of this | country learning something about it, Workers Protest. The revolutionists ays the unions and atl the working cl ganizations must raise their* protest. They must start a powerful trade is or- including viola- | tion of the criminal syndicalist laws, | W DEPORTATION LAW WHICH HAS PASSED THE HOUSE ISA | “THREAT AGAINST WORKING CLASS J (Special to The Dally Worker) (ORK, March 11—The house of representatives has adopted a bill M™enaces the whole labor movement of this country.

The bill came up for public hearing before the house industrial affairs committee yesterday. A debate was staged in Chicago between Mrs. Lottie O’Neil, mem- ber of the state assembly who supported the bill and Mrs. B. B.

The Labor) Defense Council, which is in charge of the defense of the INTENSIVE PARTY TRAINING SCHOOL OPENS ON MONDAY List of Subjects and the Teachers All preparations have been made for the successful opening of the Chi- cago Intensive Training School, the inauguration of which was announced several weeks ago. On Monday, Mar. 16, .. the formal opening of the school will take place and class- es will start promptly at 9 a. m. that morning. It is planned to have classes run from 9 o’clock every morning of the two-week period, till one or two o'clock but the comrades in the school will be taken to observe meetings of various sort to acquaint them with the functioning of the party in every department. These trips are plan- ned for various evenings of this two- week period. The number of sessions of several of the courses have been lengthened in order to allow for the inclusion of more material. It is expected that out of some of these courses will grow text books for the party on the subjects dealt with. In going over the field of the various subjects to be taught, the comrades who are to teach, found that there was a scarcity of good material available in this country for use as textbooks and it was tentatively decided to so arrange the material given in the courses as to lay the basis for future éextbooks. As far as possible it will be arrang- ed to have comrades who are steno- graphers in the school take down notes of the lectures given to provide a base for the textbooks. Endeavors will also be made to publish at least one or more courses as given, in the Communists indicted in Michigan, will soon call a conference of all labor or- ganizations to lauch a campaign against the new law. Every militant worker must take up the matter in his union. He must get the union and all fraternal organizations on rec- ord against the law. The working class of the United States must raise such a voice of challenge that the senate will not dare to make the bill a law. No time can be lost. “Silent Cal” has his lieutenants in the senate as well as in the house. The capitalists of this country are trying to cripple the labor movement. Nothing would help them more at the present time than this new law. Every worker must get on the job. Send copies of the resolutions of your organization to the Labor Defense Council, 166 W.

C., March 11.— The eight-hour law for women is not being enforced, an investigation by a special welfare organization dis- gloses.

This gives an opportunity to a rank and file member who per- haps might not have any other chance to go to Chicago, Another and even more important point is that a comrade earning the trip will know that he has accomp- lished more towards the getting o! DAILY WORKER subs than any other comrade in the district. With the pageant just about two weeks off many comrades have already sold over twenty subscriptions each. _ Comrade Razler a member of the Hungarian Yorkville branch has already sold 39 subs and is out to make it one hun dred. This is what a comrade ha: done once he has made up his min¢ to sell subs. Another comrade work- ing in an engineering office reports that subscriptions are going like “hot cakes,” all one has to do is go out and sell them. Besides the-prizes for individua’ comrades there are also a number of prizes that will be given to branches A $100 radio set of the latest © im. proved patent will be presented to the branch selling the greatest num ber of subscriptions for the press pag- eant. In order to give the smaller: branches a chance for the prize, how- ever, another radio set:is being of fered to the branch selling the high est number in proportion to its mem- bership. It is needless to point out the valuable use to which a radio set can be put in a headquarters. A prev ious story pointed out how the Ger man comrades put to use radios which they have in eyery headquar ters. There are many other reasons why this affair should be boosted so that we have 15,000 at the Garden.

Carlson Next Speaks. Next Sunday evening, March 15, there will be no forum on account of the Paris Commune celebration and huge press pageant at Madison Square Garden But the forum will continue every Sunday evening thereafter at the same place, with Oliver Carlson leading the; discussion on Sunday evening, Mareh 22, on the “Working Class Education.” Comrade Carlson’s specialty is working class education, and there- fore an interesting evening is as- sured. Comrade Carlson spent quite a long time in England and in Soviet Russia where he observed proletarian education as it is conducted under a capitalist regime and under a work- ers’ regime.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.—The national executive committee of the Young Workers’ League, following out its policy of sending a national organizer to those states which need such help, has assigned Max Salzman, a mem- ber of the national executive commit- tee to spend.,the next several weeks in Ohio.
