U. S. HAS 5000 TO SEND
Labor Department Asks Congress for
$1,000, 900 Fund to Fight Anarchy
Big Plot Is Barred in
New York.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Congress was
asked by the labor department for a
special fund of S1,0O0,O00 for the en-
forcement of laws against alien radi-
Gals and S150,UU0 for their deporta-
ton.
No further deportation of 'adlcal
aliens would be undertaken until the
experiment with the transport Buford,
the first "soviet ark" was completed,
It was said by Anthony Caminetti, COM
missioner general of immigration.
The Buford is now en- route to north
ern Europe with 249 radical aliens des-
tined for Russia, but whether it will
be permitted to land it's passengers
has not yet been determined. 1t is
not possible for the ship to go to SOW
iet Russia, and If the radicals are sent
into that country, they must be trans
ported across one of the adjacent
lands.
Will Be Tried in Districts.
The nearly 5000 radical aliens TAX
en- in the raids of the last few days,
against whom perfect cases are said
to be established, will be tried by the
department of labor in the districts in
which they were arrested, and those
ordered deported will be sent to New
York.
Mr.. Caminetti said that should ne
cessity require the use of additional
space at New York or in the districts
to house the radicals awaiting depOr-
tatiOn, steps woull be taken to secure
camps or other facilities from the war
or other departments that might have
suitable accommodations. He added,
however, that, as additional stations
would cause extra expense, he be-
lieved congress would grant the money
for the reopening of the Ellis island
station in its entirety, so that all OF
the aliens could be housed there.
Roundup to Continue Week.
The nationwide roundup Of Com
munist and Communist Labor party
members will continue for at least a
week. In every city of Importance
federal agents have their nets spread
to trap the leaders who evaded the
general dragnet Friday night. Infor-
nation gathered in that big raid In
Volved the activities of persons said
to have given the radicals moral and
financial support"
With means of escape shut off by a
close watch of the Mexican and Can
adian borders, where some of the e.
tremists were reported headed, the ar
rest of some of the ''red" leaders is ex-
pected momentarily.
The department of justice has called
upon congress for support in the cam
paign to rid the nation of syndicalism
by providing appropriations to meet
the legal battle which is considered in
evitable when the government starts
into the final stages of deportation pro-
ceedings. 1t is declared mat the rad
icals are supported by big fund and
an array of legal talent which must
be overcome if the governments CAM
paign is to bear fruit.
Have 10000 "Reds" Organized.
New York, Jan. 7-More than 10000
alien enemies in the Communist party
of New York state alone are openly or
ganized for overthrow of the govern
ment by force under the direction of
bolshevist leaders in Russia, Senator
Lusk, chairman of the joint legislative
committee investigating seditiOus ac-
tivities, declared.
THE arrests already made in the
state on the charge of criminal an
archy and for deportation hardly
scratch the surface of the situation"
he said.
