Decisive Action ~ the House judiciary
Committee Calling for Legislation
Against Adm ission OF Anarchist.
A strong report providing for the rigid sx-
clusion and deportation Of alien anarchists
has been made by the House Committee On
the Judiciary. The report says:
1T IS admitted on all hands that the cues
ton is one Of great importance and that legis-
Iation on the subject is called for by every
consideration Of public safety.
The committee Is advised that owing %
the severe legislation recently adopted By
France and Italy great many dangerous an
archists are making their way 20 the United
States, and As under existing laws they can
not be denied admission INTO our territory,
the United States viii soon be the rendezvous
of these human monsters unless the proposed
legislation be speedily adopted.
Your committee Is Of the opinion that the
United States is fully justified by existing
conditions IN using all its powers to prevent
immigration and settlement II this country
of men who repudiate all laws, al govern
ments and practically proclaim themselves as
the enemies OF mankind. The peculiar meth
DDS which they have adopted Of impressing
the public with the justice Of their views by
detestable assassination and waEtOn destrUc-
ton Of property viii not. we think. omuend
one in this country.
Your committees has no disposition %
hamper the rigorous and prompt execution
of the law providing for their exclusion and
deportation by any unnecessary proceedings
or delays, and is not willing to cOnCede that
the Superintendent OF immigration and Sec
retary Of the Treasury may not oe fully
trusted TO confne the operation Of the law 70
those who are justly subject to its pro-
visions"
The report takes uD the various objections
made to the proposed measure and dispOses
Of each of them. Concerning the objection
tnat the bill is faulty in not defining anarchy
the report says:
''As the meaning Of the word is defined as
absence Of government; the state OF society
where there is no law or supreme power: .
state OF lawlessness: political confusion, and
its meaning well known, 1t is considered IN
necessary 10 cucumber the act with special
definition"
The committee meets the objections that .
person should not be charged with anarchy
and deported without jury trial by saying:
1T would hardly be contended, We sup
T pose. that the government ought to mainta1a
/ a jury at every port of entry for the purpose
I OF passing on the qualification Of immigrants
I who desire TO enter. and as the Immigrant
/ who has been permitted 10 enter acquires no
/ rights not possessed by the foreigner who de-
I sires TO enter We ara unable to Perceive upon
/ what principle a jury trial is insisted upon IN
/ order to deport an alien whose continued resi-
/ dence in the country is considered detrimental
| to the public welfare.
/ In conclusion the report states that there is
full constitutional power for the enactment OF
the proposed law and that there Is urgent
Z necessity for the immediate passage Of such q
I measure.
Mr. Goldzier, OF Chicago is also opposed
I TO the anti-anarchist bill in its present form.
as not designating anarchists He has asked
/ Secretary Carlisle for q definition OF The term
alien anarchist as it would be interpreted by
