that there is "real danger that the
government will fail if it continues
it's attitude of "supine inaction" TO-
ward the radical elements over the
country was given today in the sem
ate by Senator Poindexter, Republi-
can, Washington,
Referring to propaganda circulated
at Gary, Ind, urging steel workers to
revolt and establish a dictatorship,
Senator Poindexter said there was
"ample proof of the revolutionary
movement, not only at Gary, but
throughout the country" Many Of
the strikes now in effect, he added,
were called Gin pursuance of the re-
volutionists" plan to stril, down ali
government"
The Washington senacc- offered a
resolution asking why the depart
ment of justice had not proceeded
against the circulators of revolution
ary propaganda. Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado, questioned the
need for the resolution. He said the
steel strikers in his state had no
grievance; that they were fighting for
naturalization of the steel industry.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio
remarked that his information was
that the strike leaders were holding
out the inducement that the plants
soon would be in the employees
hands as means of getting the men
to remain in the unions.
While the senate was discussing
radicalism, the house foreign affairs
committee favorably reported a reso-
luton extending for one year war
time passport restrictions so as to
exclude radicals and undesirable
aliens, thousands of whom are wait
ing to come to this country, accord
ing to consular reports from abroad.
Before the house immigration COM
mittee, Representative Weity. Demo-
crat, Ohio, urged that all aliens now
in the country be required to regis
ter Immediately and that undesirable
ones be deported without delay. He
declared that recent events at Gary
and Pittsburgh indicated that the
government should know the charac-
ter and whereabouts of all aliens in
the United States.
The house committee voted favor
ably on the passport restriction leg
islation after hearing testimony by
Secretary Lansing and other state de-
partmert officials who presented to
the committee reports of American
diplomatic and consular agents and
military and naval attaches in Eu-
rope all of whom Joined in urging
