l8 More, Most of Them An

Island Awaiting Shipmen:
Back to Native Lands

The United States has begun it's
long threatened deportation of alien
radicals who have been spreading revo-
lutionary doctrine throughout the ma
ton. In the last four weeks, thirty
anarchists, l. W. WIS and Bolshviki
have been placed aboard steamers and
headed for their native lands, it was
announced yesterday.
Fifteen of these reds have been sent
out of the country in the last week.
Eighteen more are now on Ellis Island
waiting deportation. None of those
already deported are members of the
l.. w. w. from Spokane and Seattle,
who were sent Feast, homeward bound.
These will follow those already gone
within few days.
The recent bomb outrages brought
the deportation problem to a head and
most of those exiled have been sent
abroad since the plot Of few weeks
ago.
Most Of the deported men, the rec.
ords show, came into this country from
Mexico or overseas during the spring
and summer of 1918, when Germany
was making her last desperate effort
to win the war
The deportations are being made un-
der the law signed by President Wilson
last October.
