QUARANTINE THE RED FLAG.

Washington, Aug r. Especially -
During the discussion in the House
on the bill to provide for the deporta-
ton of alien anarchists Represent
alive Cassius c. Dowell of Iowa took
decided stand against making the
measure any less drastic than it was
when reported by the committee.
When it was presented to the House
the bill provided that if man who
had been deported returned to this
country he should be convicted of a
felony and imprisoned for a term OF
years, and then again deported. An
attempt was made to give the Secre-
tary of Labor authority to order the
second deportation without the prison
term. Mr.. Dowell contended that
such an amendment would merely
tend to encourage deported anarchists
to make another attempt to get into
the country, knowing that they would
merely be sent back again if they did
not succeed. The Congressman's, op-
position to the proposed change in
language was supported by several of
his colleagues and the bill passed un-
amended.

the railroads any more. Uncle Sam
is in command. He has his hand on
the throttle. He is running these
railroads and you are going to help
him make success of it.
Il want to give you all just as fair
treatment as | know how, but we are
all servants OF the American people,
you and alike, and it depends upon
the way in which we discharge our
responsibilities whether or not the
American people are going to treat
us, right. The strength of our posi-
ton must rest upon public opinion.
What | do for you from time to
time must be done with reference to
what is just, not alone to you. but to
the public, which has got to pay the
bill.
Il want to give you square deal,
and the public wants to give you
square DEAL but the public wants you
to give it square deal as we'll.
when your wages are raised how
do we get the money to pay it? We
have to put up the rates on all the
American people and if we do not
