THOSE WHO AID. ALIENS TO BE DEPORTED ALSO New Law ‘an Attack on Protective Bodies WASHINGTON, June 6, -— (FP) Favorable report has been orderéd by the house committee on immigra- tton for a new draft of the Holaday bfll, which is substituted for the Hol ‘day bill reported by that committee on April 26, This new bill eliminates certain oclamses. relating to deponta- tion of alien seamen, thereby satie- fying the objections of Secretary of Labor Davis, It is, however, more objectional to the Intl Seamen's Union of Amer- fea than was the first bill, since a guaranty that excluded alien seamen shall not be deprived of earned wages: 42 placed in hospitals for temporary treatment has been stricken from the originel bil. Andrew Furuseth, for the seamen, urged upon the commit- tee the protecting of American sea- men against a forced competition by foreign seamen dumped in American ports, To Deport “Offenders.” The significant feature of this Hola- day measure is its provision that an , alien may be deported at any time after entry if convicted more than once of offences for which, in each of two instances, he has been sentenced to one or more years of imprison- ment. These offenses must have been committed after the enactment of this bill, and deportation must be secured within three years after ex- piration of the second term of im- prisonment, Only less drastic are the provisions that an alien may be deported for having, within ten years after entry, committeed an offense for which ‘the is sentenced to one year of imprison- ment, and that an alien may be de- ported for having, within ten years after entry, committed a series of of- fenses for which the aggregate terms of imprisonment given him have to- ‘talled 18 months or more. Deport All Their Friends. ° Other provisions are for the depor- tation of any alien, who may will- fully harbor or conceal, or attempt to harbor or conceal, any alien liable to deportation, “if the secretary of labor, after hearing, finds that he is an undesirable resident of the United States; also for the deportation of any alien who willfully “aids or as- sists in any way any alien unlawfully to.enter the United States.” These last two Classes of deportations apply to aliens who may have been in this eountry any number of years. . There appears only a slight chance that this bill will pass the house this ‘summer, but it will be on the calen- dar for possible action in the short term beginning in December.

HYPOCRISY OF LARGE NATIONS AT ‘DISARM’ MEET ROILS GERMANS (Special to The Daily Worker) BERLIN, June 6—The German press points out the “grotesque hypocrisy of the disarmament com- edy evident in the Geneva decis- jons, taken only in favor of strong nations and against the weak.” ‘The press declares that the most obvious “horse sense” would de- clare that army reserves are a part of a country’s armament. But the Geneva assembly ruled otherwise. This is said to prove that the Geneva meeting was “useless if not’ vangerous.’ It Is especially noted that the hypocrisy of the United States is ing disarmament $268,000,000 “Beet a Senator ‘Smoot ot Seoul Tt Reed Smoot, mormon senator trom Utah, Is suffering from acute indiges- tion, Anxiety Is being felt by the Coolidge machine In Washington.

D., June 6.—Olose political observers here see the de feat of U. S, Senator Gerald P. Nyo in the primary election on June 380. His principal opponent is L, B. Han- na, former congressman from North Dakota, staunch supporter of Coolidge. The other candidate is C. P, Stone, who is a “wet,” but he will not get very many votes, Sorlle Faces Fight. The general talk is that Sorlie will be nominated for governor and specu- lations are rife as to what will hap- pen in that event. The independent voters’ alliance may support Sorlie as against Ralph Ingerson, the guber- natorial candidate of the farmer-labor- ites in the general election next fall. We are told that this is very likely to be the case if Nye is defeated. But such a combination is practically cer- tain to be unsatisfactory to many of the oldtime leaguers and it ig not improbable that they will desert Sor- lie and throw their support to Inger- son. Democrats Ruled off Ballot. The democrats in the state have a set of candidates to be filed for nom- ination, but their petitions have been rejected, by the secretary of state on the grounds that they arrived at the capitol top late for filing.

It is claimed that the refusal of General Chin Yu-nao, a subordinate of Wu, to attack the Kuominchun (na- tional) army that is holding its own west of Peking and is approaching the capitol, was part of a plan by the independence movement.

Nameless, in the crowd of nameless ones, I have merely caught and reflected a little of the light from that dynamic thought or ideal which is drawing humanity to- wards better destinies. I was born on June 11, 1888, of G. Battista Vanzetti and Giovanna Van- zetti, in Villlafalletto, province of Cu- neo, in Piedmont. The town, whicu rises on the right bank of the Magra, in the shadows of a beautiful chain of hills, is primarily an agricultural com- munity. Here I lived until the age of thirteen in the bosom of my family. I attended the local schools, and loved study. My earliest memories are of prizes won in school examina- tions, including a second prize in the religious catechism. My father was undecided whether to let me prose- cute studies or to apprentice me to some artisan, One day he regd in the Gazetta del Popolo that in Turin forty- two lawyers had applied for a posi- tion paying 35 lire monthly. The news item proved decisive in my boy- hood, for it left my father determined that I should learn a trade and become a shop-keeper. ND so in the year 1901 he con- ducted me to Signor Conino, who ran a pastry shop in the city of Cuneo, and left me there to taste, for the first time, the flavor of hard, re- lentless labor. I worked for about twenty months there—from seven o'clock each morning until ten at night, every day, except for a three- hour vacation twice a month. From Cuneo I went to Cavour and found myself installed in the bakery of Signor Goitre, a place that I kept for three years. Conditions were no bet- ter than in Cuneo, except that the bi- monthly free period was of five hours’ duration. I did not like the trade, but I stuck to it to please my father and because I did not know what else to choose. In 1905 I bandoned Cavour for Turin in the hope of locating work in the big city. Failing in this hope, I went on further to Courgne, where I re- mained working six months. Then back to Turin, on a job as caramel- maker. In Turfg, in February of 1907, I fell seriously “ill. I was in great pain, confined indoors, deprived of air and sun and joy, like a “sad twilight flower.” ut news of my plight reached the family and my father came from Villafalletto to take me back to my birthplace. At home, he told me, I would be cared for by my mother, my good, my best-beloved mother. CROWE ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK PROBE OF VOTE FRAUDS Labor-Baiter Seeks to Hide Crooked Work Desperate attempts are being made by the Robert E, Crowe-Charles V. Barrett-William Hale Thompson alli- ance in the open-shop republican party to have the petition of Municipal Judge Daniel P. Trude for a recount of the ballots cast for county judge in the April 13 primaries transferred from Superior Court Judge Michael L. McKinley to the courts of either Su- perior Court Judge Denis Sullivan or Superior Court Judge Oscar Hebel. Crowe Terrorizes Voters. Trude, who is a member of the Deneen-Lundin-Small faction and was their candidate in the April 13 prima- ries, charges that whofesale frauds were committed by Orowe-Barrett- Thompson workers in an attempt to defeat Trude. Joseph P. Savage, who was the candidate of the Crowe ma- chine, is charged with having had the entire force of State’s Attorney Crowe at his command to terrorize voters and to stuff ballot boxes. In his complaint Trude points out that “Scarface Al” Capone, whom Crowe is supposed to be seeking for the McSwiggin special grand jury quiz, was an active Crowe vote-getter in Cicero, Berwyn, Stickney, Forest View, also known as Caponeville, and Chicago, Capone Aids Crowe, Trude points out that Capone had automobile loads of gangsters and gunmen tour from polling place to poll- place terrorizing voters, election clerks and judges. In a number of places the gunmen and State's Attor- ney Crowe's men took over the polling place, arresting judges and clerks not favorable to their’ machine. In seeking an investigation into these vote frauds, representatives of ‘Trude went down to the court building and found out which of the judges was due’ to get the cases under the rota- tion rule. There are three judges in the superior court that cases are now being assigned to, The \three were Judge Hebel, Judge Denis Sullivan and Judge McKinley.

Six years that might have been beautiful to a@ boy avid of learning and thirsty for a refreshing draught of the sim- ple country life of his native village. Years of the great miracle which transforms the child into the man. Ah, that I might have had leisure to watch the wonderful unfoldment. ‘The three hours on the train I leave to the imagination of those who have suffered pleurisy. But even through the mist of pain I saw the majestic country through which we passed and became part of it in imagination. The deep green of north Italian valleys which not even winter can dull, is a living thing in my mind even today, My mother received me tenderly, weeping from the fullness of her hap- Piness and her sorrow. She put me in bed—I had almost forgotten that hands could caress so tenderly. There I remained for a month, end for two months more I went about with the aid of a heavy walking stick. At last I recovered my heakth. From then until the day I departed for America I remained in the house of my father. That was one of the happiest periods of my life. I was twenty years old; the magic age of hopes and dreams, even to those who, like myself, turn the pages of life’s book precociously. I made many friends and gave freely of the love that was in my heart, I helped to cultivate the garden at home with an ardor that I had never felt in the cities. But that serenity was soon dis- turbed, and by the most painful mis- fortune that can strike a man. NE sad day my mother fell sick. What she, the family and I suf- fered no pen can describe. The slight- est noise caused her atrocious spasms. Many time I rushed towards the group of young men approaching along the road of an evening and singing gayly to the new-born stars, imploring them for the love of God and their own mothers to be quiet. Many times I begged the men on the street corner to go elsewhere for their conversa- tions.

It was I who laid her in her coffin; I who accompanied her to the final resting place; 1 who threw the first handful of earth over her bier. And it was right that I should do so for I was burying part of myself. , ., The void left has never been filled. But it was too much. Time, far from softening my loss, madé the pain more cruel. I watched my father get gray in a short time. I became more retiring, more silent; for days at a time I uttered not a syllable and passed the days wandering through the forests which border the Magra. Many times, going to the bridge, I stopped long and looked down at the white stones far below in a bed of sand, and thought of them as a bed where there would be no more night- mare, HIS desperate state of mind de cided me to abandon Italy for America. On June 9, 1908, I left my. dear ones. My sorrow was so great at the parting that I kissed my rela- tives and strained them to my bosom without being able to speak. My father, too, was speechless in his pro- found sorrow, and my sisters wept as they did when my mother died) My going had excited interest in the vil- lage and the neighbors crowds ¢he house, each with a word of hope, a blessing, a tear. In a crowd they fol- lowed me far out in the road, a if a townsman were being exiled foreper. An incident of the parting is vivid" in my memory; several hours before leaving I went to say farewell to an old woman who had for me a maternal feeling since the death of my mother. I found her on the threshold of her home, together with the young wife of her son. “Ah, thou hast come,” she eafd, “T expected thee. Go, and may the love of God follow thee. Never have I seen a son do for a mother what thou hast done; blessings upon thee, my son.” We kissed. Then the young daugh- ter-in-law spoke. “Kiss me, too. you are so good,” tears. I kissed her and fled, and could hear them weeping behind me. I like you so much, ing that neither my father nor her relatives, nor her dearest friends had the courage to approach her bedside. I remained alone to comfort her as best I could. Day and night I re- mained with her, tortured by the sight of her suffering. For two months I did not undress. Science did mot avail, nor love.

From the clerk, who is a Crowe henchman, it was learned that the Crowe machine sought to take the case from McKinley, who is opposed to the George Brennan machine in the democratic party, which is in a bi-par- tisan alliance with Robert E. Crowe, and give it to either Denis Sullivan, a strong Brennan supporter, or to Hebel, a member of the Crowe-Barrett- Thompson faction.

PAYROLL GRAFT TRAIL LEADS TO COOLIDGE’S DOOR Wife’s Private Secretary on Crooked Payroll WASHINGTON, June 6. — (FP) — Disclosure that the social secretary to Mrs. Coolidge has been on the pay- executive committee of the superior court to take the case away from Mc- Kinley. State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe, fearing disclosures before McKinley might show up connections between the state’s attorney's office and gun- men, has presented a petition for an “investigation” to Chief Justice Lynch, with a request that a special grand jury and special prosecutor be ap- pointed. Immediately Lynch appoint- ed Joseph P. Mahoney, a Brennan democrat, as the special prosecutor. Michael L. Igoe has launched an attack on Mahoney pointing out that Mahoney posed as a democrat when Igoe ran against Crowe for state’s attorney but was in reality working for the re-election of Crowe. In his petition before Lynch, Crowe seeks an “investigation” into the charges made by Munictpal Judge Daniel Trude as to the connections between Crowe's office, gunmen, booze-runners and gangsters, and into charges that ballot boxes were stuffed and election clerks and judges and voters terrorized. This investigation which was re- quested by Crowe can be looked on merely as an attempt to combat the revelations that will be made in Mc- Kinley’s court and the task of this special grand jury will be to “white- wash” the state’s attorney's office.
