u. s. Official Belieues
All Danger OF Radical
Outbreaks Is Ren10ued

Henry j. Skefington, Commissioner
of immigration for the New England
States, with headquarters at Boston.
stated to representative of The Trb-
une yesterday that in his belief the
dangerous Bolshevik and anarchistic
outbreaks in this country have been
crushed for all time.
All the leaders and teachers of the
extremely radical elements, he declared,
are now in the custody of government
authorities, a large proportion of them
awaiting deportation. He admitted hav-
ing arrested fifty of the most danger
GUS anarchists within the last six
months.
ed, frankly told him that he was going
to carry their eases to the Supreme
Court of the United States in an effort
to keep them in this country for at
least another five years, but Mr.. Skef-
hngtOn announced with emphasis that
they are going back, and very soon.
"Fron ray knowledge of the clean
sweep that has been made of these
wild elements that have attempted to
arouse our population" he said, you
can say there need be no fear of any
this country. We have captured their
chiefs. and their schools have been
virtually wiped out We have got Gal
lcani, the father OF them all, whom we
arrested in Lynn, Mass, and who is
now out on $4,000 bail.
"Do YOU know that the United States
immigration and Department of Justice
officials have swept in about 1000 per
sons, dangerous and semi dangerous,
since the outbreak Of the war? A large
number oI these are violent extremists
and would have been shot out of the
country long ago except for the lack
Of shipping facilities and reasons hing
ing on wartime conditions.
"A large number of these people
pose az martyrs and go about the de
tention pens in Eastern ports, and (if
they happen to be out on baiD the
streets of cities with chip on their
shoulders. Many of their cases will
come up this morning in the Boston
courts. and their attorney tells me that
he will carry them along to the Su
prcme Court, and so make an effort to
keep them here five years longer But
they are going. and going soon"

OF Halls to Socialists
At Police Discretion

BY unanimous vote, labor, through
the Central Federated Union, yester-
day adopted resolutions protesting
against tho closing of meeting halls to
any organization or political party at
the discretion Of the Police Depart
ment. Copies of the resolutions were
forwarded to Mayor Hvlan, Police
Commissioner Enright and to the
Board of Aldermen.
Taken at tie instance of the Social
ist party, this action, Secretary Ernest
BONN explained, is a protective step
on the part Of the Central Union.
Since the present Police Commissioners
decided to put up the bars against
them, he said. the Socialists have been
practically powerlcss to hold meetings
of any size or consequence. If this
precedent can be successfully estab-
lished against the Socialist party here
workers generally, Mr.. Bohm declared,

Labor party. This contingency, he

At yesterdays meeting Of the union
a letter was read from julius Gerber
secretary of the Socialist party in
this city asking support IN the Social

opened up to them again.
In the resolutions subsequently
adopted, the action Of the Police De
partment in the case of the Socialists
was referred to Us "unconstitutional
and illegal" Demand was made that
"the Police Commissioner Immediately
inform all owners of halls that the So
cialist party has the same right to
semblc and meet in this city as any
other party, and that such owners are
in no way endangered by allowing such
meetings on the premises"
Immediate passage of legislation tc
"prcvent the Police Commissioner

Socialists of the East Side and of
the West side roll such words as

But such words arc a real treat to a
schoolboy who, by their mastery, feels

introduce into the children's minds
which Or Campbell and his fellow
teachers have to offset.
TO have boy who apparently has
been cngrossed in "Thc Lady Of the

assumption that Russia is the only

Sermon to Bolsheriki
Heard BY Bomb Squad

ElGHT HUNDRED fashionably
~ attired women and men and
nine detectives of the bomb squad
gathered last night in the Madison
Avenue Baptist Church in re-
sponse to DR.. Charles A. Eatons
cordial invitation to Bolsheviki to
come and hear some truths about
themselves. Members of the audi
ence stared suspiciously at one an
other and many glances centred
upon a man who snored in radical
tones.
Are you a Bolshevik?" demand
ed one of his neighbors at last,
shaking him INTO scmi-conscious-
ness.
Nav was the response; I'm
not Baptist. I was never in a
Baptist church in my life before"
He turned out to be one of the
bomb squad.

IA oiser q Good One,'' Says
Speaker at Radical Forum

Bernhard, Emma Goldman. Federal
Judge Julius NJ. Mayer, Eugene V.
Dcbs, Scott Nearing and Catherine
Breshkovsky. were discussed at
forum on "Thc Kaser-made Soul"
held yesterday in the williamsburg
Library Assembly Hall. under the
auspices of the Brooklyn Philosophi-
cal Association.
Harry Weinberger, a former presi-
dent of the association. was the prin-
clpal speaker All people. he said. who
let any government influence their
thoughts, have Kaiser made souls
Debs, Goldman and Nearing were
cited as examples of "souls untram
melled."
This Christian government" said
the SPEAKER may send Scott Nearing
to Jail if twelve jurymen decide he
is guilty. And the judge may SEN
tence him to twenty years"
The meeting was thrown open to
ten minute speeches when Mr.. Vein
berger's address was concluded. One
speaker declared that Catherine Bresh
kovskys judgment had been dimmed
by age. or she would not condemn the
Bolsheviki. Another declared that
Weinberger and the other speakers
were examples of why radicalism is
retarded.
"Bernhardi vas correct" the aud
ience was told. "Might is right. The
Kaiser was a good Kaiser. The Con-
cressman and other officials are good
conservatives. The radicals must
quit this idle talking and do some
thing. People don't go to jail for be
ing wrong; they go to jail for being
weak, the only crime. We must grow
strong"
third speaker declared that there
were plenty of ways in which the
government of the United States could
be modified by peaceful means. Con-
servatives were needed in a country
he said, as well as radicals. He was
the only speaker unapplauded.

The Rev. George A. Smons, former
head of the Methodist Episcopal mis-
sion in Russia, who, before the Over

testified that the East Side in New
York was a breeding place for Russian
Boishevism, repeated his assertions in
q new form last night.
Speaking at St. James'5 Meth
odist Episcopal Church, 126th Street
and Madison Avenue, he described
kosher rataurants as meeting places
or red flag propagandists. About one
third of the 1000 persons who heard
nun were Jews. Many of them, after

Simons and began to ply him with
questions.

Overman committee that the East Side

a pamphlet published by the school and
written by Arthur Rhys Williams.
