ELkS ADOPT
RESOLUTIONS
Call on Congress to Adopt Laws Pro-
viding for Drastic Punishment o.
Al DisIoyaIty.

In keeping with their character as
loyal and patriotic Americans. the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order Of Elks
have long viewed with disfavor the un-
hampered manner in which individuals
and organizations have been permitted
to spread propaganda antagonistic to
our form of government and the life
and happieness of the people Of the
United States. Elk Ldges throughout
the country are now taking concerted
action, which will have the support OF
all patriotic citizens to induce Con-
gress to enact measures looking to
the curtailment of the activities of
these enemies to our country.
In this connection Pascagoula Lodge
No. 1920, at its meeting Thursday night
Of last week, unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
BE it resolved by Pascagoula Lodge
No. 1920, The Benevolent & Protective
Order Of Elks,
THAT we view with deep concern
the spread Of disloyalty and Of sedi-
tious sentiment promulgated by syndi-
calists, |. w. w., and the Bolsheviki:
1--WE believe that the time has ar
rived when Americans should assert
themselves and drive from these shores
all disloyal aliens, and adequately
punish those who betray their country
by disloyal acts. We hereby call upon
the United States Congress to immedi-
alely enact a law providing for the
summary deportation of every alien In
this country who is member Of the
J. w. w. or any other organization of
like teachings and tendencies:
That the law should further provide
for the immediate cancellation OF the
citizenship papers of any naturalized
citizen who shall affiliate with any
such organization; and for drastic pun
ishment of all persons who belong to
or who uphild the doctrines of such
organizations.
we UciitVc tIidt ITO person SnOulQ
be permitted to issue or to circulate
ally writing or pamphlet which has for
its apparent object the undermining
OF American jnstitntions or the incie-
ing of rebellion. S
We further demand that Congress
forthwith appropriate sufficient money
to carry forward properly and prompt
ly the deportation of undesirable aliens.
Be 1t further
RESOLVED, That the entire men,
Dership (206) of this lodge hereby ten
der its services to the Government for

and to urge upon them the necessity
of banding together and asking the
various senators and representatives
to cast their vote for the ratification

Miss Liba Peskkova, National Suf-

Fourteen million women throughout

fed. Congress may then legislate as to
how the provisions may be put into
