INDUSTRIAL WORKER

Federal Judge at Seattle Cancels
Naturalization Papers OF Political
Agitator, Whom He Held Had
No Respect for Constitution.

Seattle, Wash, May lion the
ground that he had committed
fraud when he swore to uphold Inc
principles of the constitution
Judge c. p. Hanford of the United
states court today ordered the oan-
collation. Of the citizenship papers
of Leonard Oleson. Socialist agi-
tator.
That is the first case OF record
in which man has been deprived
Of citizenship because OF alleged
seditious utterances and 1t IS con-
strued today as a direct and lar
reaching attack on Socialism.
OIeson received his final papers
from The Pierce county superior
court on January 10, 1910 he Is
alleged to have participated IN the
disturbances involving the INDUS
trial Workers OF the World, and
last week the United States district
attorney began proceedings before
Judge Hanford to revoke Blossoms
citizenship. In his decision Han
ford said:
"He lOleson) claimed to have
clear understanding of the consul
tuition, and he knew that by one
Of its articles, the deprivation OF
life, liberty and property without
due process of law is forbidden. Yet
the evidence introduced in his be-
half proved that the party with
which he is affiliated has for its
main object the complete elimina-
ton of property rights in this
country.
THE evidence in this case does
not have to be analysed to deter
mine his (Oleson'sl attitude. He
has no respect for the constitution,
no intention to support or defend
it against its enemies, and IS not
well disposed towards the peace
and tranquility of the people. His
propaganda is to create turmoil and
to end in chaos"
