By MANUEL GOMEZ BRUSSELS, Feb. 14.—(By Mail, delayed)—Unanimous declaration re- garding the tasks of American work- | ers in the face of the U.

S,, Latin-American and Chi- nese delegations, declare it to be the task of all labor, farmer and other progressive forces in the United States: “1, To fight side by side with the nationalists and national liberation movements of the countries under the heel of U.

I am referring to the sundry and obnoxious registration bills which are intro- duced in ‘congress at premeditated in- tervals. The Hon. Messrs. Aswell, Holaday and Brand are the trio who in the past few months have at- tempted to create a new army of of- ficial snoopers by registering, photo- graphing, finger-printing, ete. all aliens residing in the country. Bills Before Congress. At the present time congress is faced by two bills, one requiring reg- istration, and the other permitting Voluntary registration. On the face of it, the latter is impractical. It is manifest that it is deliberately in- tended as the formation of a channel for permitting voluptuous, narrow- minded petty officials to victimize and mulct unknowing and unsuspect- ing foreigners. The foreign born worker must be cloaked with. protec- tion. The foreign born element in America is too great, too important to be given such trivial attention. To the National Council for the Protec- tion of Foreign Born Workers, goes the task of combatting all these at- tempts at alien legislation. The passing and enforcement of registration laws will add still an- other blot on the so-called American freedom. One of the most immediate “effects will be found in the increased cost of living of foreigners and even interfere with their social tolerance. It is quite natural, consequently, that ‘the foreign born and those derived ‘from foreign parentage are emphati- cally opposed to such tyrannical leg- isfiation, which is synonymous to dis- aster. . on For Open-Shop Advocates. The Aswell bill exaggerates its significance and purpose to a degree that jlaces the alien faction of the working class in the category of cul- prits. By employing vile tactics such as thwanting and intimidating, this pill intends to disable foreign workers for the labor struggles. Recently a precedent has been set by Judge Busdick of California to the extent that any judge can outlaw a labor organization by an injunction, This, of course, makes for the alien laborers membership in any labor ‘mion a crime punishable by two years imprisonment, a fine of $5,000 and deportation.

S. imperialism; to support an in- timate relationship between the na- tionalist movement in the Philippine Islands and the Chinese ‘nationalist revolutionary for¢es. “In the face of the present U. S. aggressions against Mexico and Nic- aragua, demands must be raised for: “(1) With regard to Nicaragua: a. Immediate withdrawal of U. S. military and ‘naval forces; b. Recognition of the popularly supported Sacasa government; ce. Cancellation of the right-of- way privileges wrung from Nic- aragua during a period of military occupation, for a U.S. owned canal across Nicaraguan territory; can- cellation of ‘the similarly secured leases of naval bases, (2) With regard to Mexico: a. Hands off Mexico; support of the natidnal-revolutionary con- quests of the*Constitution of 1917; Opposition to U. S. diplomatic and economic offensives undertaken in the interests of U. S. oil, mining and financial magnates against the efforts of the Mexican people to protect their resources from for- eign monopolization; b.

It means that a worker | who has worked continually for years, | raised a family, has furnished a home, can be taken from his family, strip- ped of all his savings, thrust behind bars for two ‘years and deported. The following are a few of the re- sults that would be the outcome if) the Aswell bill should hecome a law: 1.—A national rogues’ gallery will be established, the purpose of which will be the recording of names, data, fingerprints, photographs, etc., of every one who has not had the dfs- tinction of being born in America. 2.—Every American consulate in foreign countries will be transformed into an agency for the hiring of strike- breakers, #—A yearly tax of from $3 to $10 for the first year ‘and $5 the fol- lowing year on all adult aliens will be imposed. 4.—It will mean the hounding to death of all aliens, or all ‘alien-ap- pearing people,.or for the matter, any one the “payroll hounds” accuse of be- ing an alien. In Basie Industries. Miss Cicely Applebaum in an article in the current edition of “Labor Age” puts the situation like this: “The coke ovens of Stelltown are manned by Hunky, Slav, Polack and Eyetalian! The open-face is, no longer John but Giovanni and Jan. In all the basic industries—iron and steel manufac- ture, slaughtering and meat packing, bituminous and coal mining, woolen and worsted manufacturing, cotton goods manufacturing, leather manu- facturing, furniture manufacturing and oil refining, foreign-born workers form a majority of those at work. “A new moustache is probably in- tended to mask nefarious activities. A move from the slums to a better neighborhood indicates a desire to spread propaganda among a new group, easily influéneed by revolu- tion.” When the late President Harding was alive, he approved of the regis- tration of aliens as a méasure which would prove effective in weeding out those who had entered the country illegitimately. To date President Coolidge has not yet indicated what the policy of the administration would be in respect to such a measuré, but his Secretary of Labor, Hon. James J. Davis, has shown favor to Farious, measures of a similar tenor.
