National Child Labor Committee, read
extracts from addresses Of James NJ.
BECK. Senator France Of Maryland and
others criticising President Wilson
| strongly, and demanded to know why
these men were not punished for their
utterances. Dr. Norman Thomas, Brother
or Evan Thomas, said: -
The uniform Is badge Of honor to
the man who wears II proudly, but not
TO one on whom 1t is put after death"
Foreigners Make Protest.
A meeting Of 900 men and women
mostly OF foreign birth registered a pro-
test yesterday afternoon at 122 Second
avenue against the deportation of un-
desirables from the country. The Gov
eminent the capitalists, the press and
even some labor leaders were also de-
nounced.
Charles Erwin. editor OF the Call, de-
clared Postmaster General Burleson was
a coward OF power" and a Controller
or thought" and that Samuel Gompers
was 'misleader of labor who has led
American labor around in a wilderness OF
low wages for the last twenty years
Mayor Hylan also was not neglected
why. I'm as superior to Hylan as
an intellectual being is to an imbecile,'
tho editor shouted, and his audience
nodded acquiescense. He urged all
workers to organize and take what you
make" and later amended this latter
utterance to take what you want"
James O'Neal, during his discourse
upon Law and Order" was missed when
ne spoke facetiously of Col. Roosevelt
being expected by him ito talk after
death" He had just quoted an alleged
remark of Col. Roosevelt's to the effect
that mo mans life liz safe in the hands
of Wilson"
After a number of speeches in which
the Government, the capitalists and the
press were criticised a resolution pro-
testing against the deporte ton policy
was introduced and Unanimously car
RED as the chairwoman said by a
standing vote OF the audience making
for the doors at the conclusion of the
meeting
Bolshevism was characterized as hell
on earth" by the Rev. George a. Simons,
returned missionary from Russia, in an
address at the ST. James Methodist
Church at Madison avenue and 1126th
street.
BOlshevfsm Is Attacked.
I'D like to see every Bolshevist here
tonight tucked safely away in the steer
age and headed overseas" he said.
America should not rest until she has
made Bolshevism impossible
The speaker based his denunciati
OF the Bolsheviki on things he had wit
messed in Russia since the growth Of the
cult after the war. He described re-
voting scenes of riot and madness. and
called upon Americans in his audience
TO make themselves 100 per cent. Ameri-
cans. or else be disqualified as Americans
| at all" He declared he would rather
be known as the lowest criminal in the
| country than as Bolshevist, and that
Bolshevism was an Insult to intelligence
and civilization.
And there are Bolshevists here to-
night" he, said. But follow me all you
like, shadow me wherever you like, but
don't ever dare pull a red flag around
me or I'll renounce my unmlitant prin-
! ciples"
Prior TO the address of the returned
| missionary. the Rev. Chester G. Mar
shall, pastor of the St James, delivered
an address on Abraham Lincoln to the
William G. Michael Post $50. G. A. r.
Up in Boston the alien undestrables
| seem of the opinion that this deportation
| business Is going to blow over soon. and
| that If they are able to keep from being
| deported until the time when the agita-
| zion ends, they will be turned loose to
resume residence in the land of the free
| and home Of the brave.
| So says Henry J. .Skeftington, United
States Commissioner of Immigration at
| Boston. who. in his other Office of Fed
. eral Labor Conciliator. was In New York
Sunday endeavoring TO mediate the build
| ing trades strike.
Mr.. Skeffington said that many of the
forty confessed anarchists he has put
under arrest for the last several weeks
have gone into the Federal courts with
| their cases, openly admitting anarchist
beliefs and ractses-anything that
would lead to getting an appeal into the
| United States Supreme Court, for the
reason that they expected to be rid of
the danger of deportation by the time
their pleas reached Washington.
