HOOVER, DAVIS KILLING SERIO Now On ‘Ellis Island; Hangman Waiting NEW YORK.—Raising the mand for the right of asylum for all political refugees in the United | States, the International Labor De-| fense yesterday intensified for the lives of Guido Serio and Rada Radakovitch, facing deporta- tion to the fascist murder regimes in Italy and Jugo-Slavia. J. Louis Engdahl, general secre- tary of the International Labor De- fense, after meet with Serio ia the so-called “Visitors’ Room on Ellis Island, where Serio is heia prisoner without bail with nearly a thousand other prospective deport- ees, stated: A Murder League. “The protest of the ILD. sent to President Hoover last week re-| mains unanswered. The protest to} the Department of Labor was re-| ferred to the second assistant sec retary, W. W. Husband, who de- clares that the case of Radakovitch has been ‘carefully and thoroughly | considered’ and ‘there is no_valid | ground for directing reconsidera~ Charity Hospital Has No Pity On Jobless NEW YORK.—An example of class “charity” is given by an unemployed worker who walked into Lebanon Hospital yesterday with a hand injury and blood poi- soning. He states that the doctor, as soon as he found the patient was unemployed, handed him over to an undering and said: “Do what you want with him.” Hasty dressings were followed by presentation of a demand for $1, although the hos- pital is supposed to do emergency work free and gets large donations “to maintain charity beds.” The worker himself has at home numer- ous receipts for $5 donations he made to the hospital when he had a job, in time gone by.

J., Sept. 8.—Un- tion’ The labor department through der the leadership of a rank and Husband also states that it is sat- | isfied to allow the Serio case to take | its course in the courts.” | “This merely bears out the charge | of the International Labor Defense | that the government at Washington | is in an open murder alliance with | the Italian and Jugo-Slavian | fascisms,” declared Engdahl. “The Mussolini government in Italy, espe- cially, is energetically working; | through its ambassador at Wash- | ington, to have Serio delivered to its bloody clutches.” An Anti-Fascist Here. | Engdahl points out that Italian fascism fears Serio not only be-| cause of his three years’ struggle | against its murderous tyranny in| {taly, from March, 1921, to Janu- ary, 1924, but because of his anti- fascist activities in the United States, which began immediately upon his arrival in this country, when he became secretary of the Political Refugees’ League and also active in the Anti-Fascist Federa- tion. During the three years in which he fought fascism in Italy, Serio was an organizer for the Italian Seamen’s Federation, working in Venice, Naples, Fiuma and Genoa, These were three years of continu- ous persecution, during which he was many times subjected to the infamous fascist “castor oil” or- deal, receiving numerous beatings nd often thrown into prison. Serio ow carries seven stilleto wounds in his neck, his chest and on his vms. He was also shot in the thigh, It was only his escape on a boat leaving Genoa, Italy, Jan.) 30, 192", that prevented his mur- der at the hands of Italian fase file strike committee elected by the workers, more than forty silk work- ers at the Columbia Silk Co. here walked out on strike.

William Lustgarten, a veteran who served with the 115th Ammu- nition Train in France, enlisting at the age of 16, has trod the streets of New York for four months in a vain attempt to get work. At the state department of labor employment agency, where he ap- plied for a job, he was turned down for even such work as kitchen help. Gassed in France, now that he is penniless and starving, the bosses’ government has no use for him. | The realization of this has not only dawned on this e but on hundreds every day. In a statement to the Daily Worker Lust- garten declared: “I call on all ex-servicemen, job- less or working, to fight for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. That is the only way we vets and workers will be able to force anything out of the bosses.” Another ex-serviceman, James Wood, who had served in the navy for the duration of the world war, has now searched high and low for a job. Applying at the U. S. department of labor employment service, veter- ans’ division, for a job, he was given &-family house, without pay. Where he was to get money to buy food evidently does not concern the gov- ernment of Wall St. His eyes requiring treatment, | Wood went to the veterans’ hos- pital. Because he dared complain that the service was not good, and that if his eyes were shot he should receive compensation, the officials tried to get some thugs to subdue him to straightjacket him and shanghai him to some prison.
