COMMUNISTS Are
TO Be DEPORTED
Secretary of Labor Issues
Specific Ruling on Case
of Alleged Red"
Ey Associated Press /:

Ey Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The
communist party Of America was
held by Sec'y Wilson OF the labor
department today TO be "revolu-
tionary party" within the meaning
Of the statutes providing for depor-
tation Of aliens who affiliate with
such organizations. In the specific
case Of Engelbert Preis. an Austrian
arrested in recent raids, execution
Of a deportation warrant was or
dered by Mr.. Wilson. paving the way
for deportation OF a large number
of aliens now in custody and against
whom similar charges have been
brought.
Gives Formal Opinion.
The ruling was made in a formal
opinion IN which documents relating
to the communist party are dis
cussed, and in conclusion the sec
rotary said:
THE only conclusion is that the
communist party OF America is an
organization that believes IN,
caches, advocates the overthrow by
force or violence of the government
Of the United States"
The text OF the opinion follows:

native of Austria; entered the Unit
ed States AT Port Huron. Mich. on
Nov. 13. 1915, having arrived in
Quebec by 5. s. Scotan. June IA.
1914. This is a case arising under
the provisions Of the act of Oct
&c, 1918.
1T is alleged that the alien is a
member Of the communist party Of
America. which is affiliated with
The communist internationale. The
alien admits membership in the
communist party Of America. and
that it is affiliated with the COM
munist internationale The sole
question, therefore, to be determined
by the secretary Of labor IS. Is the
communist Larty OF America such
an organization as is described in
the act OF October 16, 1915. mem

lar case is as follows:
